We Are Sowing
Author: Anon. Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Example Lyrics: 1. We are sowing, daily sowing
Countless seeds of good and ill,
Scattered on the level lowland,
Cast upon the windy hill;
Seeds that sink in rich, brown furrows,
Soft with heaven’s gracious rain;
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the dry, unyielding plain;
2. Seeds that fall amid the stillness
Of the lonely mountain glen;
Seeds cast out in crowded places,
Trodden under foot of men;
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten,
Flung at random on the air;
Seeds by faithful souls remembered,
Sown in tears and love and prayer;
3. Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened,
Lifeless on the teeming mold;
Seeds that live and grow and flourish
When the sower’s hand is cold.
By a whisper sow we blessings;
By a breath we scatter strife.
In our words and thoughts and actions
Lie the seeds of death and life.
4. Thou who knowest all our weakness,
Leave us not to sow alone!
Bid thine angels guard the furrows
Where the precious grain is sown,
Till the fields are crown’d with glory,
Filled with mellow, ripened ears,
Filled with fruit of life eternal
From the seed we sowed in tears. Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Used With Tune: [We are sowing] Text Sources: Pure Diamonds, Cleveland, 1872

"Altogether Lovely"
Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 940 hymnals Topics: Christ Example of First Line: Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.

Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
He saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord! they should all be thine. Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

Lord, in this Thy mercy's day
Appears in 170 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Lyrics: 1 Lord, in this Thy mercy's day,
Ere the time shall pass away,
On our knees we fall and pray.
3 Holy Jesus, grant us tears,
Fill us with heart-searching fears,
Ere the hour of doom appears.
3 Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour,
Kneeling lowly at Thy door,
Ere it close for evermore.
4 By Thy night of agony,
By Thy supplicating cry,
By Thy willingness to die,
5 By Thy tears of bitter woe
For Jerusalem below,
Let us not Thy love forego.
6 Judge and Saviour of our race,
When we see Thee face to face,
Grant us 'neath Thy wings a place.
7 On Thy love we rest alone,
And that love will then be known
By the pardon'd round Thy throne.
Amen.

When brighter than the sun He glows.

What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.

The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

To see Thy glory face to face.
