Thou That Goest Forth with Weeping
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: WinS1996 #252 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: VAN PELT STREET Lyrics: 1 Thou that goest forth with weeping,
Bearing still the precious seed,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Soon shall see thy toil succeed.
Showers of rain will fall from heaven,
Then the cheering sun will shine;
So shall plenteous fruit be given,
Through an influence all divine.
2 Sow thy seed, be never weary,
Let not fear thy mind employ;
Though the prospect be most dreary,
Thou mayst reap the fruits of joy.
Lo! the scene of verdure brightening,
See the rising grain appear;
Look again! The fields are whitening;
Harvest-time is surely near.
Topics: Hope; Joy; Quaker composer; Seasons; Trust Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6
Thou That Goest Forth with Weeping
Not Only Acts of Evil Will
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: WinS1996 #289 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Tune Title: VATER UNSER Lyrics: 1 Not only acts of evil will,
But bland routine and good intent,
Can hurt and harass, starve and kill
The outcast and the innocent.
In such a world, and in God's name,
We seek a gospel to proclaim.
2 Our normal, ordinary ways
Of doing business, getting more,
Entrap the poorest in a maze
Of hunger, debt, disease, and war.
In Christ we would make good our claim,
And find a gospel to proclaim.
3 The heart that's given to the Lord
Will pray and work to understand
The ills that sabotage the good
In trade and credit, wealth and land,
And will not turn aside its aim,
A smaller gospel to proclaim.
4 The beauty, bondage, joy and fear
of every billionth being born
are always in God’s eye and ear,
as near as breath, as sharp as thorn,
and we are born again to share
that fierce, impassioned, healing care.
5 And so, in Christ, we drink our fill
of daring, deep, determined love,
and practice to unite the skill
of wily snake and peaceful dove,
as, loving earth in Jesus’ name,
we live the gospel we proclaim. Topics: God's Care; Justice; Living Christ; Sharing
Not Only Acts of Evil Will

This Joyful Eastertide
Author: George Ratcliffe Woodward Hymnal: WinS1996 #117 (1996) Tune Title: VRUECHTEN Lyrics: This joyful Eastertide,
Away with sin and sorrow!
My Love, the Crucified,
Hath sprung to life this morrow.
Had Christ, that once was slain,
Ne'er burst his three-day prison,
Our faith had been in vain:
But now hath Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen. Topics: Easter; Faith; Story of Jesus; Joy; Resurrection; Sin
