The time is short! the season near

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #227 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 Lyrics: 1 The time is short! the season near, When death will us remove; To leave our friends, however dear, And all we fondly love. 2 The time is short! sinners beware, Nor trifle time away; The word of great salvation hear, While it is call'd to-day. 3 The time is short! ye rebels, now To Christ the Lord submit; To mercy's golden sceptre bow, And fall at Jesus' feet. 4 The time is short! ye saints rejoice-- The Lord will quickly come: Cure the vile fever of the mind, And feed our soul with joys refin'd. Topics: Holy Spirit Vanity and uncertainty of life; Time is short

The clanging bells of time

Author: Ellen M. H. Gates Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 2 #74 (1899) Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 First Line: O the clanging bells of time Lyrics: 1 O the clanging bells of Time! Night and day they never cease; We are wearied with their chime, For they do not bring us peace; And we hush our breath to hear, And we strain our eyes to see, If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! 2 O the clanging bells of Time! How their changes rise and fall, But in under tone sublime, Sounding clearly thro’ them all, Is a voice that must be heard, As our moments onward flee, And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! 3 O the clanging bells of Time! To their voices loud and low, In a long, unresting line We are marching to and fro; And we yearn for sight or sound, Of the light that is to be, For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! 4 O the clanging bells of Time! Soon their notes will all be dumb, And in joy and peace sublime, We shall feel the silence come; And our souls their thirst will slake, And our eyes the King will see, When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! Topics: Warning Tune Title: [O the clanging bells of time]

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #539 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:15 First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines through all our hopes and prayers and dreams, guide us to justice, truth, and love, delivered from our selfish schemes. May swords of hate fall from our hands, our hearts from envy find release, till by God's grace our warring world shall see Christ's promised reign of peace. 2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, nor shall the fierce devour the small; as beasts and cattle calmly graze, a little child shall lead them all. Then enemies shall learn to love, all creatures find their true accord; the hope of peace shall be fulfilled, for all the earth shall know the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

Put Peace into Each Other's Hands

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Christian Worship #734 (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:17 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call: to live according to your Word, and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear; if worldly pressures fray the mind, and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We marvel how your saints become in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name and by our faults obscure your pow’r to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines and ventures new, may we not cease to look to you, the cross you hung upon— all you endeavored done.
