Work, for the Night Is Coming
Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling:
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter;
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming:
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor:
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er.
AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Used With Tune: WORK SONG

Be It According to Thy Word
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Be it according to Thy word,
Merciful unto all, O Lord.
Be merciful to me:
Avert the wrath I deprecate,
Nor crush me with Thy judgments weight,
Who would return to Thee,
Who would return to Thee.
2 Thy wrath shall not forever last,
If pained at my pollutions past,
I groan to be made clean:
And lo, I now with grief confess
My inward parts are wickedness.
And all my life is sin,
And all my life is sin.
3 I have mine idols multiplied,
Before the shrine of self and pride
With vile devotion fell;
Followed where'er the tempter led,
And by each beastly, devilish deed
Debased my soul to hell,
Debased my soul to hell.
4 My heart was hardened from Thy fear,
Thy warning voice I would not hear.
But cast Thy words behind:
Yet for my Saviour's sake forgive;
And in Thy mercy's arms receive
Our whole apostate kind,
Our whole apostate kind.
AMEN.

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter Chalmers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 216 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soaring above
thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.
4 Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light;
thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee. Topics: Glorifying God Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Used With Tune: ST DENIO

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 916 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in His blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
AMEN. Topics: God's Providential Care Used With Tune: WELLESLEY

We Plow the Fields and Scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815; Jane M Cambell, 1817-1878 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 462 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
2 He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread.
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
AMEN. Topics: Kingdomtide; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST ANSELM
