The Little Captive Maid

Author: Julia H. Johnston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Long, long ago, a captive maid Lyrics: 1 Long, long ago, a captive maid, A wondrous message gave; For she believed in Israel’s God, With power to help and save. The word she spoke, the truth she told, Her haughty master moved; And when he sought the way aright, The way of life it proved. 2 No help or cure was in her hand, She was a captive maid; But she could tell the way to go, To gain the prophet’s aid. The sore disease and wasting pain Were lost in Jordan’s save; The Syrian captain learned that God Was strong to help and save. 3 So children now can spread the news Of Jesus’ power to cure; To heal the weary, sin sick heart, And make the spirit pure. ’Tis Jesus only who can save As in the olden day; And all may find Him if they will— A child may point the way.

Do the angels love me—listen what I say— Asking Thee for mercy when I kneel to pray? "Yes, they love thee, always love thee, Ever with thee to rejoice, Never tiring, ever singing, In their happy sweetest voice." 3 Art Thou watching o’er me when I am asleep, And my spirit’s wandering thro’ the dreamy deep? Art Thou really with me just as it does seem? Do I see the angels when I sleep and dream? "Yes, I’m with thee—always with thee, Not a moment from thy side; Never doubting, ever loving— Always in My trust abide." 4 Art Thou watching o’er me when some voice I hear Sweetly calls to wake me from my dreamland sphere? Art Thou there to greet me in the morning bright When I pray and ask Thee for Thy guiding light? "Yes, I’ll greet thee—always greet thee In the fresh and early morn— Never absent—ever present; Never from My side be torn."

Bear Ye One Another's Burdens

Author: J. Van Namee Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Bear ye one another’s burdens Lyrics: 1 Bear ye one another’s burdens, As ye struggle on thro’ life; Turn not on your erring brother, Add not to his care and strife; Let your heart beat kindly for him, For this world with sin is rife. If his burden be so heavy That he stoops beneath the care, Help him bear it, of your vigor, Give him as you well can spare. 2 Wipe away the tears of sorrow Falling from his weary eyes; Point him to a joy eternal, In the land beyond the skies, Ere his pining heart in anguish, Bitter, hopeless anguish, dies. Sympathy and love can brighten Burdens that are hard to bear; Angels bright will help you nobly, Angels from the land so fair. 3 Wrap not close your mantle ’round you— Mantle dark, of selfish pride; In your bosom, gentle impulse Do not strive to crush or hide; There is much of good and evil In this world so broad and wide. Much for willing hearts of labor, Much of good there is to do; Then arouse! leave not the burden Bearing heavy on the few.

Who Will Send Or God?

Refrain: A soft wind whispered, Who will send or go, To teach the heathen Jesus’ love to know? 2 The north wind told its story, With one swift angry blast, Of Indian offerings gory, It saw, in rushing past; Where far off northern nations In forests dark and deep, With fearful incantations Their heathen vigils keep.
