Your Word, O LORD, the truth imparts to keep the conscience clean. 2 Your Word is like a heav'nly light that guides us all the day, and through the dangers of the night a lamp to lead our way. 3 The starry heav'ns your rule obey, the earth maintains its place; and these your servants night and day your skill and pow'r express. 4 But still your law and gospel, LORD, have lessons more divine; not earth stands firmer than your Word nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Your Word is everlasting truth; how pure is ev'ry page!

He sat to watch o'er customs paid

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid, a man of scorned and hardening trade, alike the symbol and the tool of foreign masters’ hated rule. 2 But grace within his breast had stirred; there needed but the timely word: it came, true Lord of souls, from thee, that royal summons, 'Follow me.' 3 Enough, when thou wast passing by, to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye: he rose, responsive to the call, and left his task, his gains, his all. 4 O wise exchange! With these to part, and lay up treasure in the heart – who now with crown of light doth shine among the apostolic line. 5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old; pass where the world has strongest hold, and faithless care and selfish greed are thorns that choke the holy seed. 6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim the steward’s, not the owner’s name; who yield all up for thy dear sake, let them of Matthew’s wealth partake. Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13 Used With Tune: ST SEPULCHRE

Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: Saints Days and Holy Days St Matthew Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife we hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, from famished souls, from sorrow's stress, your heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to see the sweet compassion of your face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again: 6 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Used With Tune: FULDA
