How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Glory to God #432 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Scripture: Philippians 1:27-30 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 marvel how your saints 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 endeavored, done.

Longfellow, 1807-92 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #679 (2006) Meter: 10.10.5.10 Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: Oh, how blest are they whose toils are ended Lyrics: 1 Oh, how blest are they whose toils are ended, Who through death have unto God ascended! They have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings. 3 They meanwhile are in their chambers sleeping, Quiet and set free from all our weeping; No cross or sadness There can hinder their untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away their tears forever; They have that for which we still endeavor, By them are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 5 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With You, the Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: O WIE SELIG
