Is Thy Cruse of Comfort Wasting?

Author: Elizabeth R. Charles Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3073 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise, and with thy brother share. And through all the years of famine On its bounty ye shall fare. 2. Love divine will fill thy storehouse, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. 3. For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds, which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. 4. Is thy burden hard and heavy, Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother’s burden; God will bear both it and thee. 5. Numb and weary on the mountains, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe the frozen form beside thee, And together both shall grow. 6. Art thou stricken in life’s battle? Many wounded round thee moan; Lavish on their wounds thy balsams And that balm shall heal thine own. 7. Is the heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. 8. Is the heart a living power? Self entwined, its strength sinks low; It can only live in loving, And by serving love will grow. Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLES

Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?

Author: Mrs. Elizabeth Rundle-Charles Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #398 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise and share it with a friend, And through all the years of famine It shall serve thee to the end; Love divine will fill thy storehouse, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. 2 For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds which mildew in the garner, Scatter'd, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden, God will bear both it and thee. 3 Is thy heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. Is thy heart a living power? Self-entwined, its strength sinks It can only live in loving, And by serving, love will grow.
