Cast thy bread upon the waters

Author: Anon. Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith, "Thou shalt gather It again some future day." 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted That thou sowest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow with liberal hand. 5 Give them freely of thy substance; O'er his cause the Lord doth reign: Cast thy bread and toil with patience, Thou shalt labor not in vain.

Shall This Life Of Mine Be Wasted?

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall this life of mine be wasted? Shall this vineyard lie untilled? Shall true joy pass by untasted, And this soul remain unfilled? 2 Shall the God-given hours be scattered, Like the leaves upon the plain? Shall the blossoms die unwatered By the drops of heavenly rain? 3 Shall I see each fair sun waking, And not feel, it wakes for me? Each glad morning, brightly breaking, And not feel, it breaks for me? 4 Shall I see the roses blowing, And not wish to bloom as they? Holy fragrance round me throwing, Luring others on the way. 5 Shall I hear the free bird singing In the summer’s stainless sky, Far aloft its glad flight winging, And not seek to soar as high? 6 Shall this heart still spend its treasures On the things that fade and die; Shall it court the hollow pleasures Of bewildering vanity? 7 Shall these lips of mine be idle; Shall I open them in vain? Shall I not with God’s own bridle Their frivolities restrain? 8 Shall these eyes of mine still wander? Or, no longer turned afar, Fix a firmer gaze and fonder On the bright and morning Star? 9 Shall these feet of mine, delaying Still in ways of sin be found, Braving snares and madly straying On the world’s bewitching ground? 10 No, I was not born to trifle Life way in dreams or sin! No, I must not, dare not stifle Longings such as these within! 11 Swiftly moving, upward, onward, Let my soul in faith be borne; Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward, Let my eye unblinking turn! 12 Where the cross, God’s love revealing, Sets the fettered spirit free, Where it sheds its wondrous healing, There my soul, thy rest shall be. 13 Then no longer idly dreaming Shall I fling my years away; But, each precious hour redeeming, Wait for the eternal day!

He that goeth forth with weeping

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 270 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that goeth forth with weeping, Bearing precious seed in love, Never tiring, never sleeping, Findeth mercy from above. 2 Soft descend the dews of heaven, Bright the rays celestial shine; Precious fruits will thus be given Through an influence all divine. 3 Sow thy seed, be never weary, Let no fears thy soul annoy; Be the prospect ne'er so dreary, Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy. 4 Lo, the scene of verdure brightening! See the rising grain appear; Look again! the fields are whitening, For the harvest time is near. Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Used With Tune: RATHBUN

Unto Caesar let us render

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unto Caesar let us render All the things that Caesar's are, Custom, fear, and tribute tender, Both in time of peace and war. 2 Government is by God's order, Civil rule by His command, For protection to our border, Safety, peace, throughout the land. 3 By the will of God appointed, All must fear the powers that be; Who lays hand on God's anointed, Sins against His majesty.

God of love and grace art Thou; Thou alone art wise and holy; At Thy feet I humbly bow. 2 Thou Thy Son hast freely given All our sins to bear away; On the cross He made atonement, Then to glory led the way. 3 He for us received the Spirit, Precious gift of love divine, Sheds Him forth upon Thy children; Now forever He is mine. 4 Jesus soon again returneth! Evermore with Him I’ll be, Like Him through the endless ages, Saved for all eternity.
