That Cause Can Never Be Lost or Stayed
Author: Kristian Ostergaard; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #604 (1995) Meter: 9.9.10.10 Topics: Life of Discipleship Stewardship and Service; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 That cause can never be lost nor stayed
which takes the course of what God has made,
and is not trusting in walls and towers
but slowly growing from seeds to flowers.
2 Each noble service that we have wrought
was first conceived as a fruitful thought;
each worthy cause with a future glorious
by quietly growing becomes victorious.
3 Thereby itself like a tree it shows:
that high it reaches, as deep it grows;
and, when the storms are its branches shaking,
it deeper root in the soil is taking.
4 Be then no more by a storm dismayed,
for by it the full grown seeds are laid;
and though the tree by its might it shatters,
what then, if thousands of seeds it scatters!

The Earth Is the Lord's
Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #656 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Stewardship and Service First Line: The earth is the Lord's and its fulness Lyrics: 1 The earth is the Lord's and its fulness,
its mystery, splendor and wealth,
its bounty, fertility, kindness,
its beauty, its reason, its health;
then who is this wise-hearted steward
who faithfully carries this trust?
The generous, gentle, obedient,
the patient, the honest, the just.
2 The earth is the Lord's own possession,
not the tithe, nor the half, but the whole:
he made it, sustains it, and leads it
in love to its heavenly goal;
but the harmony of the creation
is broken by self-hood and vice
when the anxious, incompetent steward
in fear keeps back part of the price.
3 The church is the Lord's, and its people
the Body of Christ, who impart
the word and the feast and the friendship,
(his head and his hands and his heart!)
Where sisters and brothers together
in laughter and worship and prayer
give all to each other, then heaven
is present on earth with them there.
4 All life is the Lord's, who in giving
his Son, gave him glory again -
for he who surrendered his spirit
is he who ascended to reign;
the talent when buried
was withered, the manna, when hoarded, decayed,
but Love meets us in resurrection
when love gives itself unafraid.

All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #448 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity
Since He who all creation made
Toiled with His hands for daily bread
Right manfully.
2 No work is commonplace, if all
Be done as unto Him alone;
Life's simplest toil to Him is known,
Who knoweth all.
3 Each smallest common thing He makes
Serves Him with its minutest part;
Man only, with his wand'ring heart,
His way forsakes.

It yields fair fruit a hundredfold,
Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold,
But Thine employ!"

Burdened with fears,
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears:
Some dews of mercy shed,
Some wayward footstep led,
Dear Lord, to Thee,
Dear Lord, to Thee.
4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life,
May we abide!

Bid us depart in peace,

Thy deep love overcomes all fears.

We would lift to Thee our prayer.
Faithful stewards of Thy bounty,
May we with our brothers share.
In the name of Christ our Savior,
Who redeems and sets us free,
Gifts we bring of heart and treasure,
That our lives may worthier be.

From Thy hand comes each new day;
We would use it in Thy service,
Humbly, wisely, while we may.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #457 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?
2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro' bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy word.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Author: Annie L. Coghill, 1836-1907; Lowell Mason, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #458 (2006) Topics: The Christian Way of Life Stewardship and Service Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro' the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flowers.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Under the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work for the night is coming,
Work thro' 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.
3 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 dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WORK SONG
