Be Doers of the Word of God

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Be doers of the word of God, Not simply those who hear. Be ones who look into God’s word, Obey, and persevere. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, And slow to anger, too. Put wrath aside; instead, be meek And let God work in you. Religion that is undefiled, Religion that is pure Will reach to help the orphaned child And welcome all the poor. If people come here poorly dressed, To judge them is a sin. The rich aren’t better than the rest; God welcomes poor ones in. O Christ, you save us by God’s grace From having to obey. Then freed to love, we can embrace A life that seeks your way. May we be doers of the word, May faith shine through our deeds; And as we seek to trust in God, May ethics follow creeds.

Jesus, My Mater, And My Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus, my Master, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Master, and my Lord, I would thy will obey, Humbly receive Thy warning word, And always watch and pray. My constant need of watchful prayer I daily see, and feel, To keep me safe from every snare Of sin, and earth, and hell. 2 Into a world of ruffians sent, I walk on hostile ground, Wild human beasts, on slaughter bent, And ravening wolves surround. The lion seeks my soul to slay, In some unguarded hour, And waits to tear his sleeping prey, And watches to devour. 3 But worse than all my foes, I find The enemy within, The evil heart, the carnal mind, My own insidious sin: My nature every moment waits To render me secure, And all my paths with ease besets, To make my ruin sure. 4 But Thou hast given a loud alarm, And thou shalt still prepare My soul for all assaults, and arm With never ceasing prayer. Thou wilt not suffer me to sleep, Who on Thy love depend, But still Thy faithful servant keep, And save me to the end.
