Hark, my soul, it is the Lord

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #329 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord; 'Tis thy Saviour; hear His word; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee "Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me? 2 "I delivered thee when bound, And, when bleeding, healed thy wound; Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light. 3 "Can a woman's tender care Cease toward the child she bare? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 "Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above; Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. 5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of My throne shalt be; Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?" 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is cold and faint; Yet I love Thee and adore, O for grace to love Thee more!

Workman of God, O lose not heart

Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #355 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Workman of God, O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battle-field Thou shalt know where to strike. 2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field when He Is most invisible. 3 Then learn to scorn the praise of man, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. 4 For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.

Splendour of the thoughts of God

Author: W. Russell Bowie, 1882- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #388 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Splendour of the thoughts of God For the life of men, Visions of the saints and seers Burn for us again! From the night of ancient wrongs Wake our eyes to see Dawning in the skies the day God shall bring to be. 2 Lo, from out the heavy dark Strained and haggard eyes Turn toward that breaking dawn With their dumb surmise Women from their tragic shame, Weary men who bow To the burden of the world Cry Thy coming now! 3 Shame of all our lust and greed, Shame of lives that lie Couched in ease while down their streets Pain and want go by In the twilight of our sins, These we suffer long, While our strength lies dull before Earth's unrighted wrong. 4 Splendour of the thoughts of God Through the shadows rise, Burn the films of self and sin From our blinded eyes! Penitents, we come to learn What we ought to do; Give the vision then, O God, Strength to make it true! Languages: English Tune Title: DEDICATIO ANNI

New every morning is the love

Author: J. Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #199 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Morning Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies each returning day Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice. 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, As more of heaven in each we see; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care. 5 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves; a road To bring us, daily, nearer God. 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy great love Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.

Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #268 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labour, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As labourers in Thy vineyard, Lord send them out to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 O come, Thou Holy Spirit! And fill their souls with light, Clothe them in spotless raiment, In linen clean and white; Beside Thy sacred altar Be with them where they stand, To sanctify Thy people Through all this happy land.

And heathen gods, forsaken, fall, And Jesus reign alone. 5 From sea to sea, from shore to shore, Be Thou, O Christ, adored! And earth, with all her millions, shout, Hosannas to the Lord.
