All Labor Gained New Dignity

Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: WASH1957 #448 (1957) Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity Since He who all creation made Toiled with His hands for daily bread Right manfully. 2 No work is commonplace, if all Be done as unto Him alone; Life's simplest toil to Him is known, Who knoweth all. 3 Each smallest common thing He makes Serves Him with its minutest part; Man only, with his wand'ring heart, His way forsakes. 4 His service is life's highest joy, It yields fair fruit a hundredfold, Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold, But Thine employ!" Amen. Topics: Christ Humanity of; Labor Day; Working Man; The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING

Master, No Offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker, 1836-1925 Hymnal: WASH1957 #449 (1957) Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering, Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at Thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to thee. 3 Some word of hope for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes Blinded with tears: Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide! And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.

Somebody Did a Golden Deed

Author: John R. Clements, 1868-1946 Hymnal: WASH1957 #450 (1957) Lyrics: 1 Somebody did a golden deed, Proving himself a friend in need; Somebody sang a cheerful song, Brightening the sky the whole day long, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! 2 Somebody thought 'tis sweet to live, Willingly said, "I'm glad to give;" Somebody fought a valiant fight, Bravely he lives to shield the right, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! 3 Somebody made a loving gift, Cheerfully tried load to lift; Somebody told the love of Christ, Told how His will was sacrificed, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you! 4 Somebody filled the days with light, Constantly chased away the night; Somebody's work bore joy and peace, Surely his life shall never cease, Was that somebody you? Was that somebody you!

We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: WASH1957 #451 (1957) Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate’er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels’ work below. 4 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace—- It is a Christ-like thing. 5 And we believe Thy word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate’er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen.

I Gave My Life for Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: WASH1957 #452 (1957) Lyrics: 1 I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransomed be, And quickened from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou given for Me?

I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? 3 I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitterest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? 4 And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me?
