Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?

Author: Mrs. Elizabeth Rundle-Charles Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #398 (1917) Topics: Faithfulness Under trial; Prayer For faithfulness under trial Lyrics: 1 Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Rise and share it with a friend, And through all the years of famine It shall serve thee to the end; Love divine will fill thy storehouse, Or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often Make a royal feast for two. 2 For the heart grows rich in giving; All its wealth is living grain; Seeds which mildew in the garner, Scatter'd, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother's burden, God will bear both it and thee. 3 Is thy heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless fountain Can its ceaseless longings still. Is thy heart a living power? Self-entwined, its strength sinks It can only live in loving, And by serving, love will grow. Languages: English Tune Title: DEERHURST

In the hour of trial

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854; Mrs. Hutton Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #507 (1917) Topics: Faithfulness Under trial Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me, Lest, by base denial, I depart from Thee; When Thou seest me waver, With a look recall, Nor, for fear or favor, Suffer me to fall. 2 With its witching pleasures Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm; Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe; Or should pain attend me On my path below; Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see, Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. 4 When my last hour cometh, Fraught with strife and pain, When my dust returneth To the dust again: On Thy truth relying Through that mortal strife, Jesus, take me, dying, To eternal life.

It may not be our lot to wield

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #363 (1917) Topics: Faithfulness Under trial Lyrics: 1 It may not be our lot to wield The sickle in the ripened field; Nor ours to hear, on summer eves, The reaper's song among the sheaves. 2 Yet where our duty's task is wrought In unison with God's great thought, The near and future blend in one, And whatsoe'er is willed, is done. 3 And ours the grateful service whence Comes, day by day, the recompense; The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, The fountain, and the noonday shade. 4 And were this life the utmost span, The only end and aim of man, Better the toil of fields like these Than waking dream and slothful ease. 5 But life, though falling like our grain, Like that revives and springs again; And, early called, how blest are they Who wait in heaven their harvest day!

O Thou, to whose all-searching sight

Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Count N. L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #438 (1917) Topics: Prayer For faithfulness under trial Lyrics: 1 O Thou, to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free! 2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean! 3 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way; No foes, no violence I fear, No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near. 4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesus, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 5 Saviour, where'er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee; O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill! 6 If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day; Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease, Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.
