Speak thou the truth: let others fence
Author: Dean Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #353 (1917) Topics: Sincerity In speech and action; Sincerity In speech and action Lyrics: 1 Speak thou the truth: let others fence,
And trim their words for pay;
In pleasant sunshine of pretence
Let others bask their day.
2 Show thou thy light: if conscience gleam,
Set not thy bushel down;
The smallest spark may send his beam
O'er hamlet, tower, and town.
3 Hold on, hold on thou hast the rock;
The foes are on the sand:
The first world-tempest's ruthless shock
Scatters their shifting strand;
4 While each wild gust the mist shall clear
We now see darkly through,
And justified at last appear
The true, in Him that's true. Languages: English Tune Title: FAITH

My Life Flows On in Endless Song
Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #108 (1993) Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song
above earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
2 What though the tempest 'round me roars,
I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love prevails in heav'n and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
3 When tyrants tremble as they hear
the bells of freedom ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing!
To prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging;
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing? Languages: English Tune Title: SINGING

realm of love and light;
for it we must labor,
till our faith is sight.

3 Not alone we conquer,
not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph
lose or triumph all.
Bound by God’s far purpose
in one living whole,
move we on together
to the shining goal.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.

bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,

heal our wounds hat we may be
bound as one beyond division
in the struggle to be free.

comes the moment to decide,
in the strife of truth with falsehood,

ere that cause bring fame and profit,
and 'tis prosperous to be just.

yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
though its portion be the scaffold,
and upon the throne be wrong.
Then it is the brave one chooses,
while the coward stands aside,
till the multitude make virtue
of the faith they have denied. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
