TO THE WORK

Words: Fanny J. Crosby

Music: William H. Doane

To the work! To the work! We are servants of God,?

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;?

With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,?

Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.?

Refrain:?

Toiling on (toiling on), Toiling on (toiling on),?

Let us hope (and trust), Let us watch (and pray),?

And labor till the Master comes.?

To the work! To the work! Let the hungry be fed;?

To the fountain of life let the weary be led;?

In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,?

While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"?

To the work! To the work! There is labor for all;?

For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;?

And the love of our Father exalted shall be,?

In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"?

To the work! To the work! In the strength of the Lord,?

And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward,?

When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,?

And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!"?

AS MAN AND WOMAN WE WERE MADE

Words: Brian Arthur Wren

As man and woman we were made?

that love be found and life begun,

so praise the Lord who made us two,?

and praise the Lord when two are one:

praise for the love that comes to life?

through child or parent, husband, wife.

Now Jesus lived and gave his love?

to make our life and loving new;

so celebrate with him today and drink?

the joy he offers you,

that makes the simple moment shine

and changes water into wine.

And Jesus died to live again,?

So praise the love that, come what may,

can bring the dawn and clear the skies,?

and waits to wipe all tears away;

and let us hope for what shall be,?

believing where we can not see.

Then spread the table, clear the hall,

and celebrate till day is done;

let peace go deep between us all

and joy be shared by everyone;

laugh and make mercy with your friends,

and praise the love that never ends.

HAVE I DONE ANY GOOD?

Words & Music: Will L. Thompson?

Have I done any good in the world to?day?

Have I helped any?one in need?

Have I cheered up the sad,

And made some?one feel glad?

If not, I have failed in?deed.

Has any?one’s bur?den been light?er to?day,

Because I was will?ing to share?

Have the sick and the wea?ry

Been helped on their way?

When they need?ed my help, was I there?

Refrain:

Then wake up and do some?thing more

Than dream of your man?sion above;

Doing good is a plea?sure,

A joy be?yond mea?sure,

A bless?ing of du?ty and love.

There are chanc?es for work all around just now,

Opportunities right in our way;

Do not let them pass by,

Saying Some?time I’ll try,

But go and do some?thing to?day.

’Tis no?ble of man to work and to give,

Love’s la?bor has mer?it alone;

Only he who does some?thing

Is wor?thy to live,

The world has no use for the drone.

REACH OUT TO JESUS

Words & Music: Ralph Carmichael?

Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone?

Does the road you travel, harbor dangers yet unknown?

Are you growin' weary in the struggle of it all?

Jesus will help you with all his name you call

He's always there hearing every prayer, faithful and true

Walking by our side, in his love we hide all the day through

When you get discouraged just remember what to do

Reach out to Jesus, he's reaching out to you

Is the life you're living filled with sorrow and dispair?

Does the future press you with its worry and its scare?

Are you tired and jealous, have you almost your way?

Jesus will help you, just talk to him today

IN CHRIST ALONE

Words: Stuart Townend and Keith Getty

?

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my Light, my Strength, my Song

This Cornerstone, this Solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless Babe

This Gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

GIVE ME THE FAITH WHICH CAN REMOVE

Words: Charles Wesley

Music: Henry Carey

?

Give me the faith which can remove

And sink the mountain to a plain;

Give me the childlike praying love,

Which longs to build Thy house again;

Thy love, let it my heart o’erpow’r,

And all my simple soul devour.

I want an even strong desire,

I want a calmly fervent zeal,

To save poor souls out of the fire,

To snatch them from the verge of hell,

And turn them to a pard’ning God,

And quench the brands in Jesus’ blood.

I would the precious time redeem,

And longer live for this alone:

To spend and to be spent for them

Who have not yet my Savior known;

Fully on these my mission prove,

And only breathe, to breathe Thy love.

My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord,

Into Thy blessed hands receive;

And let me live to preach Thy Word,

And let me to Thy glory live;

My every sacred moment spend

In publishing the sinner’s Friend.

Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart

With boundless charity divine,

So shall I all my strength exert,

And love them with a zeal like Thine,

And lead them to Thy open side,

The sheep for whom the Shepherd died.

I’LL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO

Words: Mary Brown
Music: Carrie E. Rounsefell
?
It may not be on the mountain’s height,
Or over the stormy sea;
It may not be at the battle’s front,
My Lord will have need of me;
But if by a still, small voice He calls,
To paths that I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,
I’ll go where You want me to go.

Refrain:
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord,
I’ll be what You want me to be.

Perhaps today there are loving words
Which Jesus would have me speak;
There may be now in the paths of sin,
Some wand’rer whom I should seek;
O Savior, if Thou wilt be my guide,
Though dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo Thy message sweet,
I’ll say what You want me to say.

There’s surely somewhere a lowly place,
In earth’s harvest fields so white,
Where I may labor through life’s short day,
For Jesus the Crucified;
So trusting my all to Thy tender care,
And knowing Thou lovest me,
I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere,
I’ll be what You want me to be.

BIGGER BARNS

BIGGER BARNS

Words: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette

Music: Joseph Parry

?

"Bigger barns are what I need!" So a rich man said one day.

"From my worries I'll be free when my wealth is stored away."

"Fool!" God said, "Today you'll die! Will your wealth mean anything?

All life's blessings really lie in my life that wealth can't bring."

"Bigger barns are what we need for our money, gadgets, more!"

Lord, we're tempted to believe having wealth, we'll be secure!

Somewhere children cry for food or to have a doctor's care.

Can our bigger barns be good when poor neighbors know despair?

God of love, we long to know what will make us truly blest.

Jesus taught us long ago wealth won't give us peace or rest.

You are our security! Safe in you, we serve, O Lord.

May we find we're rich indeed when we're sharing with the poor.

We thank Thee each morning for a newborn day

Where we may work the fields of new mown hay

We thank Thee for the sunshine

And the air that we breathe

Oh Lord we thank Thee

We thank Thee for the rivers that run all day

We thank Thee for the little birds that sing along the way

We thank Thee for the trees

And the deep blue sea

Oh Lord we thank Thee

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord

For every flower that blooms

Birds that sing, fish that swim

And the light of the moon

We thank Thee every day

As we kneel and pray

That we were born with eyes

To see these things

We thank Thee for the fields

Where the clovers grow

We thank Thee for the pastures

Where the cattle may roam

We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and free

Oh Lord we thank Thee

Oh yes we thank Thee Lord

For every flower that blooms

Birds that sing, fish that swim

And the light of the moon

We thank Thee every day

As we kneel and pray

Where the clovers grow

We thank Thee for the pastures

Where the cattle may roam

We thank Thee for Thy love so pure and so free

Oh Lord we thank Thee

Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;

With the might of His power our strength to renew,

Let us do by His grace what He calls us to do.

Work for Him by His grace;

Work thru Him for His praise;

Work with Him all the days;

To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;

To the fountain of life let the thirsty be led;

In the cross and its vict’ry our glory shall be,

While we herald the tidings, “Salvation is free!”

To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,

By the pow’r of His Name, with the light of His Word,

All the slaves of the darkness of Satan set free

And His riches of grace in His glory we’ll see.

?I want to walk as a child of the light.

I want to follow Jesus.

God set the stars to give light to the world.

The star of my life is Jesus.

Refrain:

In him there is no darkness at all.

The night and the day are both alike.

The Lamb is the light of the city of God.

Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I want to see the brightness of God.

I want to look at Jesus.

Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path,

and show me the way to the Father.?

I'm looking for the coming of Christ.

I want to be with Jesus.

When we have run with patience the race,

we shall know the joy of Jesus.

O WORSHIP THE KING

?

Words: Robert Grant?

Music: William Croft

O worship the King all glorious above,

and gratefully sing his power and his love:

our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,

pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.

O tell of his might and sing of his grace,

whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;

his chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,

and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

The earth, with its store of wonders untold,

Almighty, your power has founded of old;

established it fast, by a changeless decree,

and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

We children of dust are feeble and frail -

in you do we trust, for you never fail;

your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end!

our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend.

O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,

whom angels delight to worship above!

Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,

in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

THIS IS A DAY OF NEW BEGINNINGS

Words: Brian Wren

Music: Carlton R. Young

This is a day of new be?gin?nings,

Time to re?mem?ber and move on,

Time to be?lieve what love is bring?ing,

Laying to rest the pain that’s gone.

For by the life and death of Je?sus,

God’s migh?ty Spir?it, now as then,

Can make for us a world of dif?fer?ence,

As faith and hope are born again.

Then let us, with the Spir?it’s dar?ing,

Step from the past and leave be?hind

Our dis?ap?point?ment, guilt and griev?ing,

Seeking new paths, and sure to find.

Christ is alive, and goes be?fore us,

To show and share what love can do.

This is a day of new be?gin?nings;

Our God is mak?ing all things new.

In faith we’ll ga?ther round the ta?ble,

To taste and share what love can do.

This is a day of new be?gin?nings;

Our God is mak?ing all things new.

TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY

?

Words: William D. Longstaff

Music: George C. Stebbins

Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;

Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.

Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,

Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;

Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.

By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;

Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;

And run not before Him, whatever betide.

In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord,

And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,

Each thought and each motive beneath His control.

Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,

Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

YOUR WORDS TO ME ARE LIFE AND HEALTH

Words: George Clement Martin

Your words to me are life and health;

They fortify my soul,

Enable, guide, and teach my heart

To reach its perfect goal.

Your words to me are light and truth;

From day to day they show

Their wisdom, passing earthly lore,

As in their truth I grow.

Your words to me are full of joy,

Of beauty, peace, and grace;

From them I learn your bless?d will,

Through them I see your face.

Your words are perfected in One,

Yourself, the living Word;

Within my heart your image print

In clearest lines, O Lord.

JOYFUL GIVING

Words: Julia H. Johnston

Music: James H. Rosecrans

Why should we be al?ways giv?ing―

Giving mo?ney, giv?ing love?

Jesus loves the cheer?ful giver,

He will bless us from above.

Refrain:

Let us give with joy and glad?ness,

Give with ge?ne?rous heart and hand;

Giving brings the Sav?ior’s bless?ing,

Let us give at His com?mand.

Why should we be al?ways giv?ing―

Sending gifts so far away?

There they need the news of Je?sus,

Millions die while we de?lay.

Why should we be al?ways giv?ing?

Jesus free?ly gives to all;

Every day and ev?ery mo?ment,

His un?counted mer?cies fall.

Why should we be al?ways giv?ing?

’Tis a joy like that above;

Blessings shared are bless?ings dou?bled,

Giving al?ways goes with love.
