Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone

Hymnal: BW1870 #425 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till Him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment; The King's highway of holiness, I'll go; for all His paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My grief a burden long has been, That I was not released from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I sinn'd and stumbled but the more; 'Till late I heard my Saviour say, "Come hither, soul; I am the way." 5 Lo, glad I come, and Thou, dear Lamb, Shalt take me to Thee as I am: Nothing but sin I Thee can give, Nothing but love do I receive.

Our country is Immanuel's ground

Hymnal: BW1870 #426 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our country is Immanuel’s ground, We seek that promised soil; The songs of Zion cheer our hearts, While strangers here we toil. 2 Oft do our eyes with joy o’erflow, And oft are bathed in tears; Yet nought but heaven our hopes can raise, And nought but sin our fears. 3 We tread the path our Master trod; We bear the cross He bore; And ev'ry thorn that wounds our feet His temples pierced before. 4 Our powers are oft dissolved away In ecstasies of love; And while our bodies wander here Our souls are fix'd above.

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Hymnal: BW1870 #427 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works, from day to day, But miracles of power and grace, Which spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue: Let alms bestow'd, let kindness done, Be witness'd by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he who marks from day to day In gen'rous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path the Saviour trod, The path to glory and to God.

A charge to keep I have

Hymnal: BW1870 #428 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky; 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil; Oh, may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live; And oh! Thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die.

My drowsy powers, why sleep ye so?

Hymnal: BW1870 #429 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My drowsy powers, why sleep ye so? Awake my sluggish soul! Nothing has half thy work to do, Yet nothing's half so dull. 2 We, for whose sake all nature stands, And stars their courses move; We, for whose guard the angel bands Come flying from above; 3 We, for whom God the Son came down, And labor'd for our good, How careless to secure that crown He purchased with His blood. 4 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still, And never act our parts? Come, holy Dove, from th'heavenly hill, Renew and warm our hearts. Topics: Christian Activity; Christians their life and experience; Faithfulness; Life Object of Languages: English

Fountain of good, to own Thy love

Hymnal: BW1870 #430 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own Thy love Our thankful hearts incline; What can we render, Lord, to Thee, When all the worlds are Thine? 2 But Thou hast needy brethren here, Partakers of Thy grace, Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess Before the Father’s face. 3 And in their accents of distress Thy pleading voice is heard; In them Thou may’st be clothed, and fed, And visited, and cheer'd. 4 Thy face with reverence and with love We in Thy poor would see; Oh, may we minister to them, And in them, Lord, to Thee.

Go labor on; your hands are weak

Hymnal: BW1870 #431 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go labor on; your hands are weak, Your knees are faint, your soul cast down; Yet falter not; the prize you seek Is near,--a kingdom and a crown! 2 Go, labor on, while it is day; The world's dark night is hastening on: Speed, speed thy work,--cast sloth away! For thus it is that souls are won. 3 Men die in darkness at your side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb: Take up the torch and wave it wide-- The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 4 Toil on,--faint not,--keep watch and pray! Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway; Compel the wanderer to come in. Topics: Christians their life and experience Languages: English

Sow in the morn thy seed

Hymnal: BW1870 #432 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sow in the morn thy seed; At eve hold not thy hand; To doubt and fear, give thou no heed; Broadcast it o'er the land! 2 Beside all waters sow, The highway furrows stock, Drop it where thorns and thistles grow, Scatter it on the rock. 3 The good, the fruitful ground Expect not here nor there; O'er hill and dale alike 'tis found; Go forth, then, everywhere, 4 And duly shall appear, In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, And the full corn at length. 5 Thou canst not toil in vain; Cold, heat, and moist and dry, Shall foster and mature the grain For garners in the sky. 6 Then, when the glorious end, The day of God shall come, The angel-reapers shall descend, And heaven cry "Harvest home!"

He that goeth forth with weeping

Hymnal: BW1870 #433 (1870) Lyrics: 1 He that goeth forth with weeping, Bearing precious seed in love, Never tiring, never sleeping, Findeth mercy from above. 2 Soft descend the dews of heaven, Bright the rays celestial shine; Precious fruits will thus be given, Through an influence all divine. 3 Sow thy seed, be never weary, Let no fears thy soul annoy; Be the prospect ne’er so dreary, Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy. 4 Lo, the scene of verdure bright'ning! See the rising grain appear: Look again! the fields are whit'ning, For the harvest-time is near. Topics: Christians their life and experience; Spiritual Sowing Languages: English

Blest be the tie that binds

Hymnal: BW1870 #434 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.
