On the Field of Work

Hymnal: JL1884 #14 (1884) First Line: On the field of work advancing Lyrics: 1 On the field of work advancing, Sow thy seed at morning light; Cheerily the furrows turning, Labor on with all thy might; Why await the far-off future, When the work before thee lies?

Lord, I come to Thee

Author: Rev. R. W. Landis Hymnal: JL1884 #16 (1884) First Line: Lord, I come to Thee for rest Lyrics: 1 Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Guilty, helpless and undone; Wearied, and by sin oppressed, Burdened with a heart of stone; I against Thee have rebelled, Suffered earth my love to win; From my birth Thou hast beheld Me the willing slave of sin. 2 When Thy Spirit gently strove To reclaim my erring heart, Urging me my God to love, Urging me from sin to part,— I that blessed Spirit drove Rashly from this wretched breast; Would not seek the joys above, Nor accept the proffered rest. 3 O abused and slighted Lord, Can’st Thou such a heart receive? Yes, Thou can’st; for Thy own word Calls me still to come and live; Lord, I come; O make me Thine; Cleanse my soul and set me free; Gladly do I sin resign, Joyfully return to Thee.
