"Come Ye Apart!" it Is the Lord

Author: Thomas O. Chisholm, b. 1866 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christian Commission Edification, Encouragement, Testimony First Line: "Come ye apart!" it is the Lord who calls us Lyrics: 1 "Come ye apart!" it is the Lord who calls us, And oh, what tenderness is in His tone! He bids us leave the busy world behind us And draw apart awhile with Him alone. 2 'Mid restless crowds with all their noise and tumult, No rest, no leisure, find our spirits there; Our vision fails, our sense of life's proportion, Unless we seek the quite place of prayer. 3 Full well He knows, for He Himself hath made us; Yea, He Himself was human as are we; How much we need the calm of sweet communion, New strength to gain for battles yet to be. 4 He knoweth how for us to have compassion, Whose feet have journeyed many a weary mile; Shall we not go in answer to His bidding: "Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile?" 5 And so He calls us into desert places Where human voices may not drown His own, There to receive the fuller revelation He makes to those who wait with Him alone. Scripture: Mark 6:31 Used With Tune: CHISHOLM

Go, Labor On

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 456 hymnals Topics: Commission First Line: Go, labor on; spend, and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend, and be spent, thy joy to do the Father's will; it is the way the Master went; should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught; thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain; men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; the Master praises--what are men? 3 Go labor on; enough while here if He shall praise thee, if He deign thy willing heart to mark and cheer; no toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on while it is day: the world's dark night is hast'ning on. Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray; be wise the erring soul to win; go forth into the world's highway, compel the wand'rer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; for toil comes rest, for exile home; soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Hallelujah! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Hallelujah!

Your throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; your rule remains and grows forever, until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT
