Copyright, 1895, by The Trustees of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath-School Work 2 Show us, Lord, the goal of life, And give us heart to run; Breathe the peace that follows strife, Lest future work we shun: 3 We would sing as in the rays 70 (GORTON) S. M. For ever Thy delight: Sing for happiness we know, 4 We would pray as those who stand At the Close of Service 1 Lord of the hearts of men, Thou hast vouchsafed to bless, Rev. Thomas T. Lynch, 1855 O rest from thousand labors past! From age to age, Thy chosen saints 4 Here, amid cares and tears, With fruits of holiness. 2 Here faith and hope and love Reign in sweet bond allied; Bearing the seed we come; There, with rejoicing hearts, we bring There, when this little day is o'er, 5 Give, mighty Lord Divine, Shall love alone abide. 3 O love, O truth, O light! Light never to decay! The fruits Thyself dost love; Soon shalt Thou, from Thy judgment-seat, Charles Coffin, 1736. Trans. by Bishop James R. Woodford, 1863 |
