Above my eye

Hymnal: MSST1897 #103 (1897) First Line: Amid the blue and starry sky Lyrics: 1 Amid the blue and starry sky, A group of hours, one ev'n, Met, as they took their upward flight Into the highest heaven. And ever higher, higher still, Each hour sped on its way,-- Locked in its bosom evermore The deeds and thoughts of day. 2 And some had gold and purple wings, Some droop'd like fading flow'rs; And sadly soar'd to tell the tale That they were misspent hours. Some glowed with rosy hope and smiles, And some had many a tear; Others had unkind words and acts To carry upward there. 3 O use the flying hours aright, As on the ear they chime; The golden wings by which the day Flies down the night of time; And if we use them as they fly, The wings of gold so fleet Will leave behind, reflected far, A lustre round our feet. Tune Title: [Amid the blue and starry sky]

Have all its hours been wasted? Not all, yet far too much in rest The joys of God we've tasted. [Chorus] 3 And does the lesson we receive, Bid us to faint in sorrow? Oh no! it bids us look and live, And hope from faith to borrow. [Chorus] 4 And forward, in the coming year, We'll strive to win the blessing, And tho' in darkness never fear, The love of God confessing. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Another year has passed away]

And when the heart from care is free, When the time glides merrily, Then that sweet voice still calls for thee, Live, oh, live in love. Soft angel voices chant the song, Live in love, live in love: And we below the notes prolong, Live in love, live in love. Tune Title: [In heaven awakes the gentle strain]

Never say fail

Hymnal: MSST1897 #116 (1897) First Line: Lo! forth into the field! the harvest brightens Lyrics: 1 Lo! forth into the field! the harvest brightens,-- The fruit of souls,--and every man is keeper. On, onward to the work! the meadow whitens! It waiteth for the sickle of the reaper. The lone, the weary, The poor, the dreary, Do thou heed in their need, Do thou heed in their need. Awake, and lift thine eyes! the dayspring lightens! And life hath not a corner for the sleeper. 2 Lo! round on every side, despairing voices, Implore a brother's help and love uniting! On every side the tumult and the noises Of woe and wrong and evil plead for righting, The weak, the falling, For help are calling; Do thou heed in their need, Do thou heed in their need. Oh see that some sad heart by thee rejoices, Some lonely lot hath somewhat more delighting! 3 O joy divine! O sweetest, purest pleasure! A golden ray from courts celestial beaming-- Lo! o'er the soul descends thy perfect measure, On all the things of earth divinely gleaming. When sorrow cheering, For weakness caring, Love doth heed every need, Love doth heed every need, O then the heavens outpour their richest treasure, And gathered blessings over earth are streaming. Tune Title: [Lo! forth into the field! the harvest brightens]
