Will Jesus Find Us Watching?
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 261 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:37 First Line: When Jesus comes to reward His servants Refrain First Line: Oh, can we say we are ready, brother? Lyrics: 1 When Jesus comes to reward His servants,
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Chorus:
Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?
2 If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee--“Well done”? (Chorus)
3 Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest. (Chorus)
4 Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there? (Chorus)

Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock, from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
your people owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record:
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, life restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
by mortals and by angels
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Church Ministry; Church unity and ecumenism; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Used With Tune: THORNBURY

If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.

The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will!
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control!
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul!
4 O Jesus, Thou has promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend!

And adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power,
While we try to preach the Word?
All is vain unless the Spirit
Of the Holy One comes down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna
Will be showered all around.
2 Brethren, see poor sinners round you
Slumb'ring on the brink of woe;
Death is coming, hell is moving--
Can you bear to let them go?
See our fathers and our mothers,
And our children sinking down;
Brethren, pray and holy manna
Will be showered all around.

Will you help the trembling mourners
Who are struggling hard with sin?
Tell the all about the Savior--
Tell them that He will be found;
Sisters, pray, and holy manna
Will be showered all around.

Let us love each other, too;
Let us love and pray for sinners
Till our God makes all things new.

At His table we'll sit down;

With sweet manna all around. Topics: Church, The Faith and Worship Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA

On Your people pour Your pow'r;
Crown Your ancient Church’s story;
Bring its bud to glorious flow'r.

For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.

Scorn the Christ, assail His ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
For the living of these days,

Bend our pride to Your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.

Lest we miss Your kingdom’s goal,
Lest we miss Your kingdom’s goal.

To the evils we deplore;
Let the gift of Your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,

Serving You whom we adore.
