My Master Was a Worker

Author: William G. Tarrant, 1853-1928 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My Master was a worker, With daily work to do, And he who would be like Him Must be a worker, too. Then welcome honest labor, And honest labor’s fare, For where there is a worker, The Master’s man is there. 2. My Master was a comrade, A trusty friend and true, And he who would be like Him, Must be a comrade, too. In happy hour of singing, In silent hours of care, Where goes a loyal comrade, The Master’s man is there. 3. My Master was a helper, The woes of life He knew, And he who would be like Him Must be a helper, too. The burden will grow lighter, If each will take a share, And where there is a helper, The Master’s man is there. 4. Then, brothers brave and manly, Together let us be, For He, who is our Master, The Man of men was He. The men who would be like Him Are wanted everywhere, And where they love each other The Master’s men are there. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Author: John Daniell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, sing with holy gladness, High alleluias sing, Uplift your loud hosannas To Jesus, Lord and King; Sing, boys in joyful chorus Your hymn of praise today, And sing, ye gentle maidens, Your sweet responsive lay. 2. ’Tis good for boys and maidens Sweet hymns to Christ to sing, ’Tis meet that children’s voices Should praise the children’s King: For Jesus is salvation, And glory, grace and rest; To babe and boy and maiden The one Redeemer blest. 3. O boys, be strong in Jesus, To toil for him is gain, And Jesus wrought with Joseph With chisel, saw and plane; O maidens, live for Jesus, Who was a maiden’s Son; Be patient, pure and gentle, And perfect grace begun. 4. Soon in the golden city The boys and girls shall play, And through the dazzling mansions Rejoice in endless day; O Christ, prepare Thy children With that triumphant throng To pass the burnished portals, And sing th’eternal song.

Let Our Choir New Anthems Raise

Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, ca. 800-883; John Mason Neale; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let our choir new anthems raise, wake the morn with gladness; God himself to joy and praise turns the martyrs' sadness: bright the day that won their crown, opened heav'n's bright portal, as they laid the mortal down and put on th'immortal. 2 Never flinched they from the flame, from the torture never; vain the foeman's sharpest aim, Satan's best endeavor: for by faith they saw the land decked in all its glory, where triumphant now they stand with the victor's story. 3 Faith they had that knew not shame, love that could not languish; and eternal hope o'ercame momentary anguish. Up and follow, Christian men! Press through toil and sorrow; spurn the night of fear and then, O the glorious morrow!

For those who here confess Him He will in heaven confess, And faithful hearts that bless Him, He will forever bless. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE
