While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 591 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find, As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind, Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view; Bless thy Word to young and old; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with thee above. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Used With Tune: BENEVENTO

All Whose Boast It Is

Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: All whose boast it is that we Lyrics: 1 All whose boast it is that we come of forebears brave and free, if there breathe on earth a slave, are we truly free and brave? If we do not feel the chain when it works another’s pain, are we not base slaves indeed, slaves unwilling to be freed? 2 Is true freedom but to break fetters for our own dear sake, and with leathern hearts forget we owe humankind a debt? No, true freedom is to share all the chains that others wear, and, with heart and hand, to be earnest to make others free. 3 They are slaves who fear to speak for the fallen and the weak; they are slaves who will not choose hatred, scoffing, and abuse, rather than in silence shrink from the truth they needs must think. They are slaves who dare not be in the right with two or three. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Freedom; Justice and Equity; Right of Conscience Used With Tune: SALZBURG

Lord, I Lift My Soul to Thee

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, I lift my soul to Thee, O my God, I trust Thy might; Let not foes exult o’er me, Shame me not before their sight. Yea, may none be put to shame, None who wait for Thee to bless, But dishonored be their name Who without a cause transgress. 2. Lord, to me Thy ways make known, Guide in truth and teach Thou me; Thou my Savior art alone, All the day I wait for Thee. Lord, remember in Thy love All Thy mercies manifold, Tender mercies from above, Changeless from the days of old. 3. Sins of youth remember not, Nor my trespasses record; Let not mercy be forgot, For Thy goodness’ sake, O Lord. Just and good the Lord abides, He His way will sinners show, He the meek in justice guides, Making them His way to know.

Author: D. E. Millard Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: On this sacred day we meet Lyrics: 1 On this sacred day we meet, And with joy each other greet, While we ask the Holy One Light to give as doth the sun; Light to shine in every heart, Ne’er from us may it depart; Light to shine in every heart, Ne’er from us may it depart. 2 We have come to learn the way We should live and act each day; May we have a will to do What our teachers want us to; Then, if we shall live in love, God will bless us from above; Then, if we shall live in love, God will bless us from above. 3 May we all good children be; From our sins, Lord, set us free; Let our daily conduct show We intend to always go In the way our Savior trod, Leading to the throne of God; In the way our Savior trod, Leading to the throne of God.
