Scatter seeds of kindness

Author: Mrs. Smith Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: Let us gather up the sunbeams Refrain First Line: Then scatter seeds of kindness Lyrics: 1 Let us gather up the sunbeams, Lying all around our path; Let us keep the wheat and roses, Casting out the thorns and chaff; Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of today; With a patient hand removing All the briers from the way. Chorus: Then scatter seeds of kindness, Then scatter seeds of kindness; Then scatter seeds of kindness, For our reaping by and by. 2 Strange, we never prize the music Till the sweet-voiced bird is flown! Strange, that we should slight the violets Till the lovely flowers are gone! Strange, that summer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half so fair, As when winter's snowy pinions Shake the white down in the air. [Chorus] 3 If we knew the baby fingers, Press'd against the window-pane, Would be cold and stiff tomorrow, Never trouble us again-- Would the bright eyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow? Would the print of rosy fingers Vex us then as they do now? [Chorus] 4 Ah! those little ice-cold fingers, How they point our mem'ries back To the hasty word and actions, Strewn along our backward track! How those little hands remind us, As in snowy grace they lie, Not to scatter thorns, but roses-- For our reaping by and by! [Chorus] Scripture: Galatians 6:7 Used With Tune: [Let us gather up the sunbeams]

What could we do without Jesus?

Author: E. R. Latta Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What could we do without Jesus? What could the children do? With the long pathway before them, Hidden from mortal view; How could their footsteps be guided? Surely their feet would stray, But that the merciful Savior Tenderly leads the way. Chorus: What could we do without Jesus? What could we do? where could we fly? What could we do without Jesus, When we are called to die? 2 What could we do without Jesus? What could the sinner do? Where could he go for salvation? Who could his heart renew? No other name has been given; Only his blood can atone; Sinners can trust but in Jesus, Claiming no worth their own. [Chorus] 3 What could we do without Jesus? What could the Christian do? Is there a friend or a brother Equally kind and true? In the dark hour of temptation; In the dread hour of pain; What but the mercy of Jesus Can our sad hearts sustain? [Chorus] Scripture: John 6:68 Used With Tune: [What could we do without Jesus?]
