My Brother's Keeper
Author: Mary Anna Phinney Stansbury Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Where is thy brother? O my soul Refrain First Line: O may’st thou answer unafraid Lyrics: 1 Where is thy brother? O my soul,
What answer canst thou make?
What hast thou done for love of him,
Or suffered for his sake?
Refrain:
O may’st thou answer unafraid,
Nor tremble at the word,
In love and service, I would be
My brother’s keeper, Lord!
2 When pressed by weight of care or grief,
He stumbled by the way;
Didst thou his heavy burdens share,
And wipe his tears away? [Refrain]
3 And when for his unwary feet,
The tempter’s snare was spread,
Didst thou with firm and gentle hand
His erring footsteps lead? [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Where is thy brother? O my soul]
My Brother's Keeper
The Second Miraculous Draught
Author: Herbert Kynaston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: When Jesus stood upon the shore Lyrics: 1 When Jesus stood upon the shore,
Athwart the lonely wave
The fishers watched, nor knew the Lord
New risen from the grave.
All night they toiled, and nothing took,
But now they cast aright;
And morning’s beams are mingling with
The risen Savior’s light.
2 Poor store and mean could they but glean,
When first they smote the deep;
No net was hurled to wake the world,
Till He had woke from sleep:
O, glorious was the fishing then,
No mixing in the throw
The refuse with the great and good,
All safely gathered now.
3 No severed toils, no sinking ships,
No frighted fisher’s cry,
"Depart from me, O Lord, depart,
A sinful man am I!"
Fivescore the sea, and fifty-three,
Wrung from its niggard breast,
To bless the man whom Jesus loved,
And him who loved Him best.
4 Though numbered now, they tell of saints
Unnumbered at the day,
When sea and shore shall be no more,
And time shall pass away.
Men-fishers true the warning knew,
To heal the midnight’s dearth,
With knots new-strung the net was flung
Whose cords should sweep the earth.
5 Still more they drew, as morning grew,
Embosomed in the fold,
The sceptered monarch on the throne,
The merchant and his gold;
The baron mailed, in moated halls,
The young, the old, and yet,
For all they were so many there,
Not broken was the net. Used With Tune: ALAMEDA Text Sources: Occasional Hymns (London: R. Clay, Son & Taylor, 1862)
The Second Miraculous Draught
What Then Are They, Who Dare Deride
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: What then are they, who dare deride
Thy saints for doing good?
They never saw the Crucified,
Or felt the sprinkled blood;
They never shall our glorious Lord,
Without repentance, see,
For only doers of Thy Word
Are saved at last by Thee. Used With Tune: ALAMEDA Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
What Then Are They, Who Dare Deride
For Mercies, Countless As The Sands
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 45 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 For mercies, countless as the sands
Which daily I receive
From Jesus, my Redeemer’s hands,
My soul, what canst thou give?
2 Alas! from such a heart as mine,
What can I bring Him forth?
My best is stained and dyed with sin,
My all is nothing worth.
3 Yet this acknowledgement I’ll make
For all He has bestowed;
Salvation’s sacred cup I’ll take,
And call upon my God.
4 The best return for one like me,
So wretched and so poor;
Is from His gifts to draw a plea,
And ask Him still for more.
5 I cannot serve him as I ought,
No works have I to boast;
Yet would I glory in the thought
That I shall owe Him most. Used With Tune: ALAMEDA Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
