How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Call and Vocation Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We mark your saints, how they became
in hindrances more sure,
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon,
all you endeavoured done. Scripture: Matthew 10:24-39 Used With Tune: REPTON
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

O My People, Saith the Spirit
Author: Joseph Luff, 1852-1948 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Calling and Vocation Lyrics: 1 O my people, saith the Spirit,
hear the word of God today;
be not slothful but obedient,
'tis the world's momentous day!
Unto honor I have called you—
honor great as angels know;
heed ye, then, a Father's counsel,
and by deeds your purpose show.
2 Time is ripe! My work must hasten!
Whoso will may bide the hour.
Naught can harm whom God protecteth—
elements confess his power.
Up ye, then, to the high places
I have bid you occupy!
Peril waits upon the heedless,
grace upon the souls who try!
3 Love ye me and love all people—
love as I have loved you;
this your calling— this my purpose—
thus be my disciples true.
Then in this exalted station
your companion I will be;
every promise of my scriptures
will be verified in thee.
4 Get ye up, then, to your mountain,
Zion of this closing day!
For the glory of my coming
waits to break upon your way!
Forth from thence our testimony
shall to trembling nations go,
and the world confess that with you
God has residence below.

though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.

heaven brought near by power divine;
give your unexpected glory,
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples --
come, our first and greatest sign!

make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe, and live! Scripture: Matthew 13:44-46 Used With Tune: SICILIAN MARINERS

in that beloved community
where love is law in every heart. Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN
