Should e’er our love to Thee grow cold, And we forgetful be, We’ll call to mind Thy love untold While in Gethsemane. [Refrain] Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE (Hull)

Prophet, to the multitudes Calling to repent, In the way of righteousness Unto Israel sent; 3. Messenger, God’s chosen one Foremost to proclaim, Proffered titles passing by, Pointing to the Lamb. 4. Captive, for the word of truth Boldly witnessing; Then in Herod’s dungeon cave, Faint and languishing; 5. Martyr, sacrificed to sin At that feast of shame; As his life foreshowed the Lord, In his death the same— 6. Holy Jesus, when He heard, Went apart to pray: Thus may we our lesson take From his saint today. Used With Tune: ST. NICHOLAS (Hoyte) Text Sources: The Year of Praise, 1867

Lord, We Wait

Author: S. A. Stanwell Meter: 7.5.7.5 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, we wait; Thy sowers wait Lyrics: 1 Lord, we wait; Thy sowers wait, Spent with bootless toil; Sowing early, sowing late, On a stubborn soil. 2 Lord, we wait; the parchèd ground Needs the softening shower; Let the hardened hearts around Feel its quickening power. 3 Lord, we wait; the tender blade Needs the heav’nly dew; Shall its first fair promise fade? O! its life renew. 4 Feeble faith and waning love, Hope that scarcely lives, Wait the influence from above That Thy Spirit gives. 5 Plead we not our Father’s word? Shall we plead in vain? Lo! the prayer of faith is heard! Lo! the gracious rain! Used With Tune: BRUCE Text Sources: The School Hymnal by William Rawson Stevenson (London: E. Marlborough, 1880)
