Good King Wenceslas

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:25-35 First Line: Good King Wenceslas looked out Lyrics: 1 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen, when the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, when a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel. 2 “Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou knowest it, telling: yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain, right against the forest fence, by St. Agnes’ fountain.” 3 “Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pinelogs hither; thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.” Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together, through the rude wind’s wild lament, and the bitter weather. 4 “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger; fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread thou in them boldly. Thou shalt find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.” 5 In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christians all, be sure, wealth or rank possessing, ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:25-33 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call to live according to your word and daily learn, refreshed, restored, that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear; if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We marvel how your saints became in hindrances more sure: whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines or ventures new, may we not cease to look to you: the cross you hung upon, all you endeavored, done.
