The Work Is Thine
The work is yours, O Christ our Lord
Author: Julius Henry Horstmann Hymnal: Hymns for Praise and Worship #297 (1984) Lyrics: 1 The work is yours, O Christ our Lord,
the cause for which we stand;
and being yours will overcome
its foes on every hand.
Yet grains of wheat, before thy grow,
are buried in the earth below;
all that is old will perish there
to form a life both new and fair:
so too are we from self and sin made free.
2 Through suff'ring thou, O Christ,
did go unto your throne above,
and you lead now the self-same way
those true in faith and love.
So lead us, then, though suff'rings wait,
to share your kingdom's heav'nly state,
your death has broken satan's might,
and leads the faithful to the light;
eternal light, from darkness into light.
3 For you, O Savior, lead the way
through agony and death;
O give, we pray, yet more and more
your Spirit's living breath!
Send messengers o'er land and sea
to bring your children all to thee;
your name can save, your name makes free;
we consecrate ourselves to thee
as servants true, as warriors brade and true.
Amen. Topics: Church, The Missions Languages: English
The work is yours, O Christ our Lord
