Fling Out the Banner!

Author: G. W. Doane Hymnal: Christ in Song #370 (1908) Topics: Living His Life Called to Activity; Living His Life Call to Activity Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; Our glory only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified. 2 Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o'er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love Divine. 3 Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls, That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life. 4 Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine: Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign.

Earnestly beseeching Trophies for the King. 5 Work while strength endureth, Until death draw near; Then thy Lord's sweet welcome Thou in heaven shalt hear. Languages: English Tune Title: PENKIVELL

Dismiss me not thy service, Lord

Author: T. T. Lynch Hymnal: Laudes Domini #446 (1890) Topics: Activity; Activity Lyrics: 1 Dismiss me not thy service, Lord, But train me for thy will; For even I, in fields so broad, Some duties may fulfill; And I will ask for no reward, Except to serve thee still. 2 How many serve, how many more May to the service come! To tend the vines, the grapes to store, Thou dost appoint for some: Thou hast thy young men at the war, Thy little ones at home. 3 All works are good, and each is best As most it pleases thee; Each worker pleases when the rest He serves in charity; And neither man nor work unblest, Wilt thou permit to be. 4 Our Master all the work hath done He asks of us to-day; Sharing his service, every one Share too his sonship may; Lord, I would serve and be a son: Dismiss me not, I pray.

God's hidden ones

Minute fidelity

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #468 (1890) Topics: Activity; Activity First Line: Scorn not the slightest word or deed Lyrics: 1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed, Nor deem it void of power; There's fruit in each wind-wafted seed, That waits its natal hour. 2 A whispered word may touch the heart, And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. 3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be, Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently. 4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serve the right, The holy, true, and free.
