GREAtorex, 1849 94 God of the strong, God of the weak, Lord of all lands and our own land, Light of all souls,from Thee we seek Light from Thy light, strength from Thy hand.Amen. Our gifts are still our tru- est wealth, To serve Thee our sin-cer-est prayer. A-men. 2. 2 As on the river's rising tide Flow strength and coolness from the sea, So, through the ways our hands provide, May quickening life flow in from Thee, 3 To heal the wound, to still the pain, And strength to failing pulses bring, Until the lame shall leap again, And the parched lips with gladness sing. 4 Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought; The rest, O God, is in Thy hand. SAMUEL LONGfellow, 1886 324 FIAT LUX 6.6.4.6.6.6.4. J. B. DYKES, 1875 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring 9:4 4 Oh, still in ac-cents sweet and strong Sounds forth the ancient word,— ers for white har - vest fields, More laborers for the Lord!" A-men. 2 We hear the call; in dreams no more In selfish ease we lie, But, girded for our Father's work, 3 Where prophets' word, and martyrs' blood And prayers of saints were sown, We, to their labors entering in, Would reap where they have strown. 4 O Thou whose call our hearts has stirred! Thrust in our sickles at Thy word, SAMUEL LONGfellow, 1864 |
