In the vineyard of our Father
Author: Anon. Appears in 116 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father
Daily work we find to do;
Scattered gleanings we may gather,
Though we are but young and few;
Little clusters, little clusters
Help to fill the garners too.
2 Toiling early in the morning,
Catching moments through the day,
Nothing small or lowly scorning
While we work, and watch, and pray;
Gathering gladly
Free-will offerings by the way.
3 Not for selfish praise or glory,
Nor for things of transient worth,
But to send the blessed story
Of the gospel o'er the earth,
Telling mortals
Of our Lord and Saviour's birth.
4 Up and ever at our calling,
Till in death our lips are dumb,
Or till sin's dominion falling
Christ shall in his kingdom come,
And his children
Reach their everlasting home.
5 Steadfast then, in our endeavor,
Heavenly Father, may we be;
And forever and forever,
We will give the praise to thee;
Alleluia,
Singing all eternity. Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Used With Tune: STANLEY
In the vineyard of our Father
Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 79 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them;
Thou art Lord of winds and waves:
They were bound, but thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves;
Be thou with them;
'Tis thine arm alone that saves.
2 Friends and home and all forsaking,
Lord, they go at thy command;
As their stay thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land:
O, be with them;
Lead them safely by the hand.
3 Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Then their sinking hopes sustain;
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
4 In the midst of opposition
Let them trust, O Lord, in thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let thy servants humble be;
Never leave them,
Till thy face in heaven they see.
