Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our foolish ways!
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #806 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hardening trade,
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign masters’ hated rule.
2 But grace within his breast had stirred;
there needed but the timely word:
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, 'Follow me.'
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye:
he rose, responsive to the call,
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! With these to part,
and lay up treasure in the heart –
who now with crown of light doth shine
among the apostolic line.
5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old;
pass where the world has strongest hold,
and faithless care and selfish greed
are thorns that choke the holy seed.
6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim
the steward’s, not the owner’s name;
who yield all up for thy dear sake,
let them of Matthew’s wealth partake. Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13 Languages: English Tune Title: ST SEPULCHRE
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
Behold, the Master passeth by!
Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #169b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by!
Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye?
With low sad voice He calleth thee,
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me."
2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care,
Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare?
From earthly toils lift up thine eye;
Behold, the Master passeth by!
3 One heard Him calling long ago,
And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
For Jesus and His blessèd cross.
4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear
Seemed every day afresh to hear;
Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
And fired his hope, and nerved his will.
5 God gently calls us every day:
Why should we then our bliss delay?
He calls to heaven and endless light:
Why should we love the dreary night?
6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call,
At which he rose and left his all:
Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me;
I will leave all, and follow Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. LAWRENCE

How Shall the Young Secure Their Hearts
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Christian Worship #119H (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: St. Matthew Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts
and guard their lives from sin?
Your Word, O LORD, the truth imparts
to keep the conscience clean.
2 Your Word is like a heav'nly light
that guides us all the day,
and through the dangers of the night
a lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns your rule obey,
the earth maintains its place;
and these your servants night and day
your skill and pow'r express.
4 But still your law and gospel, LORD,
have lessons more divine;
not earth stands firmer than your Word
nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Your Word is everlasting truth;
how pure is ev'ry page!
That holy book will guide our youth
and well support our age. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
