But One Loaf

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When the disciples crossed the lake Lyrics: 1 When the disciples crossed the lake With but one loaf on board; How strangely did their hearts mistake The caution of their Lord. 2 "The leaven of the Pharisees Beware", the Savior said; They thought, it is because He sees We have forgotten bread. 3 It seems they have forgotten, too, What their own eyes had viewed; How with what scarce sufficed for few, He fed a multitude. 4 If five small loaves, by His command, Could many thousands serve; Might they not trust His gracious hand, That they should never starve? 5 They oft His power and love had known, And doubtless were to blame; But we have reason good to own That we are just the same. 6 How often has He brought relief, And every want supplied! Yet soon, again, our unbelief, Says, "Can the Lord provide?" 7 Be thankful for one loaf today, Though that be all your store; Tomorrow, if you trust and pray, Shall timely bring you more.

Remember

Author: Emma Lazarus, 1849-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Remember Him, the only One Lyrics: 1 Remember Him, the only One, Now, ere the years flow by— Now, while the smile is on thy lip, The light within thine eye. 2 Now, ere for thee the sun has lost Its glory and its light, And earth rejoice thee not with flowers, Nor with its stars the night. 3 Now, while thou lovest earth, because She is so wondrous fair With daisies and with primroses, And sunlit, waving air. 4 And not because her bosom holds Thy dearest and thy best, And some day will thyself infold In calm and peaceful rest. 5 Now, while thou lovest violets, Because mid grass they wave, And not because they bloom upon Some early shapen grave. 6 Now, while thou lovest trembling stars, But just because they shine, And not because they’re nearer one Who never can be thine. 7 Now, while thou lovest music’s strains, Because they cheer thy heart, And not because from aching eyes They make the tear drops start. 8 Now, while thou lovest all on earth, And deemest all will last, Before thy hope has vanished quite And every joy has passed. 9 Remember Him, the only One, Before the days draw nigh When thou shalt have no joy in them, And praying, yearn to die.

Day After Day I Sought the Lord

Author: Julius C. Hare Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Day after day I sought the Lord, And waited patiently; Until He bent down from His throne, And hearkened to my cry. 2. He drew me from the fearful pit, And from the miry clay; He placed my feet upon a rock, And led me in His way. 3. He taught my soul a new-made song, A song of holy praise, All they who see these things, with fear Their hopes to God shall raise. 4. Most blessèd is the man whose hope Upon the Lord relies; Who follows not the proud, nor those That turn aside to lies. 5. O Lord, what wonders hast Thou wrought, All number far above! Thy thoughts to us-ward overflow With mercy, grace, and love. 6. Show forth Thy mercy, gracious Lord; O take it not away! Thy loving kindness and Thy truth, Let them be still my stay. 7. For countless sorrows hem me round; And my iniquities So hold me fast, and drag me down, I cannot raise my eyes. 8. My hairs in number they surpass; Hence is my heart dismayed; Vouchsafe, O Lord, to rescue me! O hasten to my aid. 9. Let those who seek Thee faithfully In peace and joy abide; Let those who love Thy grace still say, The Lord be magnified. 10. Poor am I, and in need; yet God Care of my soul doth take. Thou art my help; my Savior Thou; Lord, no long tarrying make. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Portions of the Psalms in English Verse, 1839
