We Give You But Your Own

Whate'er we do for you, O Lord, we do it gratefully.

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: Anna B. Warner Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 275 hymnals Matching Instances: 267 Lyrics: We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation Whereon our feet were set by sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see his face. We would see Jesus: other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing: We would not mourn them, for we go to thee. We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to thee makes not this love less strong. We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see thee, thyself our hearts reminding What thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 370 We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night. Amen. Topics: Visitation Used With Tune: VISIO DOMINI

We Speak of the Realms of the Blest

Author: Elizabeth K. Mills Appears in 367 hymnals Matching Instances: 239 Lyrics: 1. We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed— But what must it be to be there! We speak of its pathway of gold— Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold— But what must it be to be there! 2. We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within— But what must it be to be there! We speak of its service of love, Of the robes which the glorified wear, Of the church of the Firstborn above— But what must it be to be there! 3. Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life-giving word, We see the new city descend, Adorned as a bride for her Lord; The city so holy and clean, No sorrow can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil, is there. 4. Do Thou, midst temptation and woe, For Heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o’er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus Himself will be there. Used With Tune: GREEN FIELDS

We Plow the Fields

Author: Jane M. Campbell; Matthias Claudius Appears in 453 hymnals Matching Instances: 235 First Line: We plow the fields, and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields, and scatter The good seed on the land, But it is fed and watered By God's almighty hand; He sends the snow in winter, The warmth to swell the grain, The breeze, and the sunshine, And soft refreshing rain. 2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. 3 We thank thee, then, O Father, For all things near and far; The seedtime and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food; Accept the gifts we offer, For all thy love imparts, And, what Thou most desirest Our humble, thankful hearts.
