WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING

Lyrics: Anna Louisa Walker Coghill?

Music: Lowell Mason

Work, for the night is coming,

Work through the morning hours;

Work while the dew is sparkling,

Work ’mid springing flowers;

Work when the day grows brighter,

Work in the glowing sun;

Work, for the night is coming,

When man’s work is done.

Work, for the night is coming,

Work through the sunny noon;

Fill brightest hours with labor,

Rest comes sure and soon.

Give every flying minute,

Something to keep in store;

Work, for the night is coming,

When man works no more.

Work, for the night is coming,

Under the sunset skies;

While their bright tints are glowing,

Work, for daylight flies.

Work till the last beam fadeth,

Fadeth to shine no more;

Work, while the night is darkening,

When man’s work is o’er.

FORGIVE OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE

FORGIVE OUR SINS AS WE FORGIVE

Words: Rosamond E. Herklots, Carl G. Gl?ser

""Forgive our sins as we forgive, ""

you taught us, Lord, to pray,

but you alone can grant us grace

to live the words we say.

How can your pardon reach and bless

the unforgiving heart,

that broods on wrongs and will not let

old bitterness depart?

In blazing light your cross reveals

the truth we dimly knew:

what trivial debts are owed to us,

how great our debt to you!

Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls,

and bid resentment cease;

then, bound to all in bonds of love,

our lives will spread your peace.

DAY BY DAY, AND WITH EACH PASSING MOMENT

Lyrics: Lina Sandell; Translated by A. L. Skoog

Music: Oscar Ahnfeldt

Day by day, and with each passing moment,

Strength I find to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.

He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,

Gives unto each day what He deems best,

Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near me,

With a special mercy for each hour;

All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,

He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself He laid;

“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”

This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,

So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,

Offered me within Thy holy Word.

Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

Till with Christ the Lord I stand.

VAIN ARE ALL TERRESTRIAL PLEASURES

Words: David E. Ford

Music: attributed to Wolfgang A. Mozart

Vain are all ter?res?tri?al plea?sures,

Mixed with dross the pur?est gold:

Seek we, then, for heav’n?ly trea?sures,

Treasures ne?ver wax?ing old.

Let our best af?fect?ions cen?ter

On the things around the throne:

There no thief can ev?er en?ter;

Moth and rust are there un?known.

Earthly joys no long?er please us;

Here would we re?nounce them all;

Seek our on?ly rest in Je?sus,

Him our Lord and mas?ter call.

Faith, our lan?guid spir?its cheer?ing,

Points to bright?er worlds above;

Bids us look for His ap?pear?ing;

Bids us tri?umph in His love.

May our light be al?ways burn?ing,

And our loins be gird?ed round,

Waiting for our Lord’s re?turn?ing,

Longing for the wel?come sound.

Thus the Chris?tian life adorn?ing,

Never need we be afraid,

Should He come at night or morn?ing

Early dawn, or ev?en?ing shade.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

To God be the glory, great things He hath done;

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,

And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Lyrics and Music: Barney E. Warren

Let your light so shine that the world may see

How to come to Christ who will set them free;

Let its rays gleam bright when the darkness falls,

Till each sinful soul for the Savior calls.

Refrain:

Let your light shine, let your light shine,

Let your light so shine before men;

That they your works beholding, that they your works beholding,

May glorify the Father’s name in heav’n.

Let your light so shine everywhere you go,

Till the tribes of earth Jesus Christ may know;

Let its rays transpose into perfect day,

When the clouds of gloom shall be swept away.

Let your light so shine that its beams may reach

Every darkened soul, thus the gospel preach;

Let it brighter shine till that endless day,

Bursts upon our sight ne’er to pass away.

Let your light so shine every day and hour,

That the truth be clothed with divinest pow’r;

Let it brightly shine and promote God’s cause,

To exalt His name and His holy law.

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.

And why should we languish in sorrow and tears,

When there’s nothing to do but believe.

Believe, believe,

Only on Jesus believe;

Salvation is waiting for you and for me,

There is nothing to do but believe.

Thy sins and thine idols now leave;

Come, pleading his promise, and fall at his feet,

Then you’ve nothing to do but believe.?

‘Tis only to ask and receive;

The seal of his favor, the smile of his face,

Are for those who will only believe.

WE ARE WELL ABLE

Lyrics and Music: Kittie (Mrs. Frederick W.) Louise Suffield??

'Twas the Lord of hosts that led us out of Egypt's sand;

And He led us thru the Red Sea by His mighty Hand,

Never halting in the wilderness, but His command

Gave assurance we were able to possess the land.

When the spies bro't back the message, this is what they said;

"Against giants and walled cities, we cannot be led;"

But a Caleb and a Joshua said,

"They'll be as bread; We are able to go up, possess the land ahead.

When we crossed the river Jordan, in the land we found;

Wind and oil, and milk, and honey, richest fruits abound;

Sparkling fountains, and the showers come upon the ground;

We were able, Hallelujah! let God's praise resound.

There's no thirsting for old Egypt, since we're in this way,

And we care not what the critics or the ten spies say;

For the land abounds in plenty, and we're here to stay,

Won't you come and join us broght, enter in today?

Refrain:

We are able to go up and take the country,

And possess the land from Jordan to the sea;

And tho' giants tall be there our way to hinder,

God will surely give the victory.

SOMEBODY DID A GOLDEN DEED

Words: John R. Clements

Music: Winfield S. Weeden?

Somebody did a golden deed,

Proving himself a friend in need;

Somebody sang a cheerful song,

Bright’ning the sky the whole day long.

Refrain:

Was that somebody you?

Somebody tho’t ’tis sweet to live,

Willingly said, ?I’m glad to give?;

Somebody fought a valiant fight,

Bravely he lived to shield the right.

Somebody made a loving gift,

Cheerfully tried a load to lift;

Somebody told the love of Christ,

Told how His will was sacrificed.

Somebody idled all the hours,

Carelessly crushed life’s fairest flow’rs,

Somebody made life loss, not gain,

Tho’tlessly seemed to live in vain.

Somebody filled the days with light,

Constantly chased away the night;

Somebody’s work bore joy and peace,

Surely his life will never cease.

ALL AS GOD WILLS

Words: John G. Whittier

Music: Charles Hutcheson?

All as God wills, who wisely heeds

To give or to withhold,

And knoweth more of all my needs,

Than all my prayers have told.

Enough that blessings undeserved

Have marked my erring track;

That, wheresoe’er my feet have swerved,

His chastening turned me back.

That more and more a providence

Of love is understood,

Making the springs of time and sense

Sweet with eternal good.

That death seems but a covered way

Which opens into light,

Wherein no blinded child can stray

Beyond the Father’s sight.

And so the shadows fall apart.

And so the west winds play;

And all the windows of my heart

I open to the day.

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF BLESSING

Is your life a channel of blessing?

Is the love of God flowing through you?

Are you telling the lost of the Savior?

Are you ready His service to do?

Refrain:

Make me a channel of blessing today,

Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;

My life possessing, my service blessing,

Make me a channel of blessing today.

Is your life a channel of blessing?

Are you burdened for those that are lost?

Have you urged upon those who are straying

The Savior Who died on the cross?

Is your life a channel of blessing?

Is it a daily telling for Him?

Have you spoken the Word of salvation

To those who are dying in sin?

We cannot be channels of blessing

If our lives are not free from known sin;

We will barriers be and a hindrance

To those we are trying to win.

WORKMAN OF GOD

Words: Frederick W. Faber

Music: Henry Lahee?

Workman of God! O lose not heart,

But learn what God is like;

And in the dark?est bat?tle?field

Thou shalt know where to strike.

Thrice blest is he to whom is giv’n

The in?stinct that can tell

That God is on the field, when He

Is most in?vi?si?ble.

Blest too is he who can di?vine

Where real right doth lie,

And dares to take the side that seems

Wrong to man’s blind?fold eye.

Then learn to scorn the praise of men,

And learn to lose with God;

For Je?sus won the world through shame,

And beck?ons thee His road.

For right is right, since God is God,

And right the day must win;

To doubt would be dis?loy?al?ty,

To fal?ter would be sin.

Do others see Jesus in you

What joy 'twill be at set of sun

In mansions beyond the blue

To find some souls that you have won

Let others see Jesus in you

Then live for Christ both day and night

Be faithful be brave and true

And lead the lost to life and light

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

Lyrics and Music: George Bennard?

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

? The emblem of suff’ring and shame,

And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best

? For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:?

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

? And exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

? Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,

? To bear it to dark Calvary.

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

? A wondrous beauty I see;

For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,

? To pardon and sanctify me.

He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,

? And, filled with His fulness divine,

I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise

BECAUSE HE LIVES

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus;

He came to love, heal and forgive;

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Refrain:

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

But greater still the calm assurance:

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,

I'll fight life's final war with pain;

And then, as death gives way to victory,

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
