Go, labour on; spend and be spent
Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 449 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go labour 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 labour on; 'tis not for nought,
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises; what are men?
3 Go labour on, while it is day,
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
4 Men die in darkness at thy side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
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 wanderer 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!"

Let me be with Thee where Thou art
On Thee, Great Ruler Of The Skies
Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Thee, great Ruler of the skies,
On Thee our steadfast hope relies;
When hostile powers against us join,
What aid so present, Lord, as Thine?
2 By Thee secured, no fears we own,
Though earth, convulsed, beneath us groan,
Though tempests o’er her surface sweep,
And whirl her hills into the deep—
3 Though, armed with rage, before our eyes
That deep in all its horrors rise,
While, as the tumult spreads around
The mountains tremble at the sound.
4 Behold fair Sion’s blest retreat,
Where God has fixed His awful seat;
Whose walls to Heaven’s almighty Lord
His chosen residence afford.
5 No tempests here licentious stray,
But soft along their level way
The sacred streams their course maintain,
And crown with health their happy plain.
6 God, ever watchful, ever nigh,
Bids storms around her harmless fly;
His early care each foe withstands,
And backward turns the yielding bands. Used With Tune: HOLBORN HILL

Lord Jesus, when we stand afar
Author: Bishop William Walsham How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar,
And gaze upon Thy holy cross,
In love of Thee, and scorn of self,
O may we count the world as loss!
2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds,
And the rough way that Thou hast trod,
Make us to hate the load of sin
That lay so heavy on our God.
3 O holy Lord, uplifted high,
With outstretched arms, in mortal woe,
Thou dost embrace in wondrous love
The sinful world that lies below.
4 Give us an ever-living faith
To gaze beyond the things we see;
And in the mystery of Thy death
Draw us and all men unto Thee.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Passion; Ash Wednesday; Atonement; Christ Passion, His; Good Friday; Lent Used With Tune: PENITENCE
Lord Jesus, when we stand afar
O Lord, How Many Are My Foes
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, how many are my foes,
In this weak state of flesh and blood!
My peace they daily discompose,
But my defense and hope is God.
2. Tired with the burdens of the day,
To Thee I raised an evening cry:
Thou heard’st when I began to pray,
And Thine almighty help was nigh.
3. Supported by Thine heav’nly aid,
I laid me down, and slept secure:
Not death should make my heart afraid,
Though I should wake and rise no more.
4. But God sustained me all the night:
Salvation doth to God belong;
He raised my head to see the light,
And make His praise my morning song. Used With Tune: HOLBORN HILL Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
