Thy broken body, gracious Lord

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1099 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thy broken body, gracious Lord, Is shadowed by this broken bread; The wine which in this cup is poured, Points to the blood which thou hast shed. 2 And while we meet together thus, We show that we are one in thee: Thy precious blood was shed for us; Thy death, O Lord, has set us free. 3 We have one hope that thou wilt come: Thee in the air we wait to see; Then thou wilt give thy saints a home, And we shall ever reign with thee.

The sun had set on Syria's plain

Author: Toria Buck Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1100 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The sun had set on Syria's plain, The night had bloomed with stars again, When, as his fateful hour drew nigh, The Saviour knew that he must die. 2 As still drew nigh that hour of dread, Wait his disciples pale and sad, When he, with love's compassion sweet, Knelt lowly down and washed their feet. 3 Draw near to us, O Lord, we pray; We follow in thy steps to-day; Here with thy saints 'tis joy to meet, And bow, and humbly wash their feet. 4 O thou bright King, within whose hand The ages glide like grains of sand, Now hear us pray that we may be All lowly, meek, and pure, like thee. 5 And when the glorious morn shall break And at thy voice each sleeper wake, Remember us, O Lord, we pray; Roll from our grave this stone away!

'Twas wondrous depth of heavenly love

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1101 (1886) Lyrics: 1 'Twas wondrous depth of heavenly love That brought our Saviour from above To walk with men, a sinful race, To seek and save them by his grace. 2 He left his own majestic bliss, To sojourn in a world like this; Not to be honored as deserved, But he was here as one who served. 3 He was a true and constant friend; He loves his chosen to the end; And to impress a lesson meet, He washed his dear disciples' feet. 4 "Ye call me Lord, and that is true; Then do as I have done to you; Since 'tis your privilege to know, You will be happy if you do."

It May Not Be Our Lot

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3111 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: It may not be our lot to wield Lyrics: 1. It may not be our lot to wield The sickle in the ripened field; Nor ours to hear, on summer eves, The reaper’s song among the sheaves. 2. Yet where our duty’s task is wrought In unison with God’s great thought, The near and future blend in one, And whatsoe’er is willed, is done. 3. And ours the grateful service whence Comes, day by day, the recompense; The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, The fountain, and the noonday shade. 4. And were this lift the utmost span, The only end and aim of man, Better the toil of fields like these Than waking dream and slotfhful ease. 5. But life, though falling like our grain, Like that revives and springs again; And, early called, how blest are they Who wait in heaven, their harvest day! The opening of Whittier’s original poem: 1. As o’er his furrowed fields which lie Beneath a coldly-dropping sky, Yet chill with winter’s melted snow, The husbandman goes forth to sow. 2. Thus, Freedom, on the bitter blast The ventures of thy seed we cast, And trust to warmer sun and rain, To swell the germs and fill the grain. 3. Who calls thy glorious service hard? Who deems it not its own reward? Who, for its trials, counts it less A cause of praise and thankfulness? Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN

And those who such a race would run As early should be on their way. 2. His Father’s business was His care; Yet in man’s favor still He grew; O might we learn by thought and prayer, Like Him a work of love to do! 3. For all mankind He came, nor yet An infant’s visit would deny; Nor friend nor mother did forget In His last hour of agony. 4. O children, ask Him to impart That spirit clear, that temper mild, Which made the mother in her heart Keep all the sayings of her Child. 5. Bless Him who said, of such as you His Father’s kingdom is: and still, His yoke to bear, His work to do, Study His life to learn His will. Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN

The government of earth and seas Upon His shoulders shall be laid; His wide dominions still increase, And honors to His name be paid. 5. Jesus, the holy child, shall sit High on His father David’s throne; Shall crush His foes beneath His feet, And reign to ages yet unknown. Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN

From the first breath of life divine Down to the last expiring hour, The gracious work shall all be Mine, Begun and ended in My pow’r. Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN

Thine are the flowers that clothe the ground, The trees that wave their arms above, The hills that gird our dwellings round, As Thou dost gird Thine own with love. 3. Yet teach us still how far more fair, More glorious, Father, in Thy sight, Is one pure deed, one holy prayer, One heart that owns Thy Spirit’s might. 4. So while we gaze with thoughtful eye On all the gifts Thy love has given, Help us in Thee to live and die, By Thee to rise from earth to Heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN
