Hark! the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 505 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:2 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting; who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, rich reward he offers free; who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me." 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, and the heathen lands explore, you can find the heathen nearer, you can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, you can give the widow's mite; and the least you give for Jesus will be precious in his sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven, off'ring life and peace to all, with your pray'rs and with your bounties you can do what God demands; you can be like faithful Aaron, holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," while the sons of men are dying, and the Master calls for you: take the task he gives you gladly, let his work your pleasure be; answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I; send me, send me."

Hymn 11

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:21-22 First Line: There was an hour when Christ rejoiced Lyrics: There was an hour when Christ rejoiced, And spoke his joy in words of praise: "Father, I thank thee, mighty God, Lord of the earth, and heav'ns, and seas. "I thank thy sovereign power and love That crowns my doctrine with success, And makes the babes in knowledge learn The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace. "But all this glory lies concealed From men of prudence and of wit; The prince of darkness blinds their eyes, And their own pride resists the light. "Father, 'tis thus, because thy will Chose and ordained it should be so; 'Tis thy delight t' abase the proud, And lay the haughty scorner low. "There's none can know the Father right But those who learn it from the Son; Nor can the Son be well received But where the Father makes him known." Then let our souls adore our God, Who deals his graces as he please; Nor gives to mortals an account Or of his actions or decrees.

O love divine, how sweet thou art!

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:39-42 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by thee? I thirst, I faint, I die to prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 God only knows the love of God; Oh, that it now were shed abroad In my poor, longing heart! For love I sigh, for love I pine; This only portion, Lord, be mine; Be mine this better part. 3 Oh, that I may forever sit, With Mary, at the Master's feet: Be this my happy choice-- My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom's voice. 4 Oh, that I may, with favored John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care and sin and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in thee My everlasting rest. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Perfect Love

One Thing needful

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 203 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:42 First Line: Why will ye waste on trifling cares Lyrics: 1 Why will ye waste on trifling cares That life which God's compassion spares? While, in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot? 2 Shall God invite you from above? Shall Jesus urge his dying love? Shall troubled conscience give you pain? And all these please unite in vain? 3 Not so your eyes will always view Those objects which you now pursue; Not so will heaven and hell appear, When death's decisive hour is near. 4 Almighty God! thy grace impart; Fix deep conviction on each heart: Nor let us waste on trifling cares That life which thy compassion spares.

Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give.

"The mysteries of redeeming grace Are hidden from the wise, While pride and carnal reasonings join To swell and blind their eyes."
