No Obvious Angels

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Commission First Line: No obvious angels sing through the night skies Lyrics: 1 No obvious angels sing through the night skies, no thunderstruck shepherds tell out their surprise, for Christmas comes into the here and the now through star-sighted people, the watchful and hopeful, who wake us to see a new world. 2 Our angel potential is waiting to start! The Spirit will teach us the song of the heart, for Christmas comes into the here and the now through peace-maker people, the just and the gentle, the stars who will light the new world. 3 Whoever will take it is given the role: the fruitful, the faithful, the joyous of soul, for Christmas comes into the here and the now when we are the angels who dream and deliver, who rise and create this new world!

The Time for Toil

Author: Elizabeth Akers Meter: 10.10.10.9.6.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Commission Reward for Labor First Line: The time for toil is past, and night has come Lyrics: 1 The time for toil is past, and night has come, The last and saddest of the harvest eves; Worn out with labor long and wearisome, Drooping and faint, the reapers hasten home, Each laden with his sheaves, Each laden with his sheaves. 2 Few, light, and worthless—yet their trifling weight Thro' all my frame a weary aching leaves; For long I struggled with my hapless fate, And staid and toiled till it was dark and late, Yet these are all my sheaves, Yet these are all my sheaves. 3 Full well I know I have more tares than wheat, Brambles and flow'rs, dry stalks and withered leaves; Wherefore I blush and weep, as at thy feet I kneel down reverently, and repeat, "Master, behold my sheaves," "Master, behold my sheaves." 4 So do I gather hope and strength anew; For well I know thy patient love perceives Not what I did, but what I strove to do— And though the full ripe ears be sadly few, Thou wilt accept my sheaves, Thou wilt accept my sheaves. Scripture: Psalm 126:6 Used With Tune: BRINGING HOME OUR SHEAVES
