Almighty God, thy word is cast

Author: John Cawood Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy word is cast Like seed upon the ground; O let the dew of heaven descend, And shed its influence round. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove; May it take root in every heart, And grow in faith and love. 3 Let not this life's deceitful cares, Nor worldly wealth and joy, Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast, The rising plant destroy. 4 Where'er the word of life is sown, A large increase bestow, That all who hear thy message, Lord, Its saving power may know.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: Anon. Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness, High on his heart he will bear it for thee, Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine: Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, These are the offerings to lay on his shrine. 4 These, though, we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, He will accept for the Name that is dear; Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

Lonely and weary, by sorrow oppressed

Author: Anon. Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lonely and weary, by sorrow oppressed, Onward we hasten with longings for rest, Bidding adieu to the world with its pride, Longing to stand by Immanuel's side Though we are pilgrims, before us now rise Visions of glory rejoicing our eyes. Bright are the crowns that we hope soon to wear, Blessed the rest; O we long to be there. 2 There is the city in splendor sublime; O, how its turrets and battlements shine! Pearls are its portals, surpassingly bright, Jasper its walls, and the Lamb is its light. Pathways of gold that blest city adorn, Glittering with glory far brighter than morn; Angels stand beck'ning us onward to share Glory unfading; we long to be there. 3 Rivers are gliding 'mid unfading trees, Songs of the ransomed are borne on the breeze; Glory-gilt mountains resplendent are seen, Valleys and hills clad in Eden-like green; There shall be glory of God ever be, Filling the earth as the waves fill the sea; There shall the ransomed, immortal and fair, Evermore dwell; O, we long to be there.

Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them; Thou art Lord of winds and waves: They were bound, but thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves; Be thou with them; 'Tis thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends and home and all forsaking, Lord, they go at thy command; As their stay thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land: O, be with them; Lead them safely by the hand. 3 Where no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain, Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain; Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 4 In the midst of opposition Let them trust, O Lord, in thee; When success attends their mission, Let thy servants humble be; Never leave them, Till thy face in heaven they see.

O there are the bright crowns of glory, And mansions the Saviour will give; And they who have loved his appearing, With him shall eternally live. 2 There endless springs of life are flowing, There are the fields of living green; Mansions of beauty are before them, And the King of the saints is seen. Soon our conflicts and toils will be ended, We'll be tried and be tempted no more; And the saints of all ages and nations We shall greet on that heavenly shore. 3 Faith now beholds the flowing river, Coming from underneath the throne; There, too, the Saviour reigns forever, And he'll welcome the faithful home. Would you walk by the banks of the river, With the friends you have loved by your side? Would you join in the song of the angels? Then be ready to follow your Guide.

Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves

Author: L. E. A. Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves O'er years of wasted life; O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, And reaps from years of strife Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves, Of life's fair ripening grain: We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds, Then reap, with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 3 Nothing but leaves! Sad memory weaves No vail to hide the past; And as we trace our weary way, And count each lost and misspent day, We sadly find at last Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 4 Ah, who shall thus the Master meet And bring but withered leaves? Ah, who shall at the Saviour's feet, Before the awful judgment seat Lay down for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves!

Lift him up, the risen Saviour

Author: May E. Warren Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Lift him up, 'tis he that bids you Lyrics: 1 Lift him up, 'tis he that bids you, Let the dying look and live; To all weary, thirsting sinners, Living waters will he give; And though once so meek and lowly, Yet the Prince of heav'n was he; And the blind, who grope in darkness, Through the blood of Christ shall see. Chorus: Lift him up, the risen Saviour, High amid the waiting throng; Lift him up, 'tis he that speaketh, Now he bids you flee from wrong. 2 Lift him up, this precious Saviour, Let the multitude behold; They with willing hearts shall seek him, He will draw them to his fold; They shall gather from the wayside, Hast'ning with joyous feet, They shall bear the cross of Jesus, And shall find salvation sweet. [Chorus] 3 Lift him up in all his glory, 'Tis the Son of God on high; Lift him up, his love shall draw them, E'en the careless shall draw nigh; Let them hear again the story Of the cross, the death of shame; And from tongue to tongue repeat it; Mighty throngs shall bless his name. [Chorus] 4 O then lift him up in singing, Lift the Saviour up in prayer; He, the glorious Redeemer, All the sins of men did bear; Yes, the young shall bow before him, And the old their voices raise; All the deaf shall hear hosannah; And the dumb shall shout his praise.

The morning flowers display their sweets

Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets, And gay their silken leaves unfold, As careless of the noontide heats, As fearless of the evening cold. 2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast, Parched by the sun's directer ray. The momentary glories waste, The short-lived beauties die away. 3 So blooms the human face divine When youth its pride of beauty shows; Fairer than spring the colors shine, And sweeter than the virgin rose. 4 Or worn by slowly rolling years, Or broke by sickness in a day, The fading glory disappears, The short-lived beauties die away. 5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb, With luster brighter far shall shine, Revive with ever-during bloom, Safe from diseases and decline. 6 Let sickness blast, let death devour, If heaven but recompense our pains; Perish the grass, and fade the flower, If firm the word of God remains.

His earthly work is done

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 His earthly work is done, The Victim's blood is shed, And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead; He stands in heaven, their great High Priest, He bears their names upon his breast. 2 He sprinkles with his blood The mercy-seat above; He seals our brotherhood With his atoning love; And justice threatens us no more, But mercy yields her boundless store. 3 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heaven itself he stands, A heavenly priesthood his: In him the shadows of the law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw. 4 And though awhile he be Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see Their great High Priest again; In brightest glory he will come, And take his waiting people home.
