The three calls

Hymnal: The Morning Star #124 (1877) Scripture: Matthew 20:3 First Line: O slumberer, rouse thee! Lyrics: 1 O slumberer, rouse thee! despise not the truth, But give thy Creator the days of thy youth; Why standest there idle! the day breaketh, see! The Lord of the vineyard is waiting for thee. “Holy Spirit, by Thy power, Grant me yet another hour; Earthly pleasures I would prove, Earthly joys, and earthly love; Scarcely yet hath dawned the day, Holy Spirit, wait, I pray!” 2 O loiterer, speed thee! the morn wears apace; Then squander no longer the moments of grace, But haste, while there’s time, with thy Master agree; The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting for thee. “Gentle Spirit, stay, oh, stay, Brightly beams the early day; Let me linger in these bowers, God shall have my noontide hours; Chide me not for my delay, Gentle Spirit, wait, I pray!" 3 O sinner, arouse thee! thy morning is passed; Already the shadows are lengthening fast; Escape for thy life! from the dark mountains flee; The Lord of the vineyard still waiteth for thee. "Spirit, cease Thy mournful lay, Leave me to myself, I pray; Earth hath flung her spell around me, Pleasure’s silken chain hath bound me; When the sun his path hath trod, Spirit, then I’ll turn to God!” Hark! borne on the winds is the bell's solemn toll; 'Tis mournfully pealing the knell of a soul-- The Spirit's sweet pleadings and strivings are o'er; The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting no more.

In Parables the Lord doth shew

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #XLV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 Lyrics: 1 In Parables the Lord doth shew, What Gospel Ministers must do-- How to perform their duty well, We find here in this Parable. 2 The Church, a Vineyard of the Lord: Those who he sends to teach his word, They labour in his Vineyard here; They have the charge, the trust and care. 3 God, to erect his Church on earth, The vineyard of the greatest worth; Thus did his labour'rs early send, That sacred Vineyard to attend. 4 And as the passage plainly shews, The call was first unto the Jews: When Priests and Levites, taught & shew'd The laws and ordinance of God. 5 They minister'd as they were taught, But otherwise they labour'd not; Till they did first with him agree, And know what their reward should be. 6 Those who have not the cause at heart, Do with reluctance act their part; And as a penny for the day Such hirelings do teach and pray. 7 Not only unto Jacob's race Did God reveal his plan of grace; But after many years were past, The Gentiles too were call'd at last. 8 The call they did with joy embrace, To be intrusted with such grace; In such a call to serve the Lord, It was to them a great reward. 9 They ask'd not what shall we receive? As a support on which we live-- They trust, the word and promises, And act their part with willingness. 10 They teach, admonish and reprove, And all they do is out of love; They act with fervency and zeal, And God rewards their labours well.

Bid them go labor today. 3 Some have in ease all their youthful hours spent, Bid them go labor today; Idleness never can bring sweet content, Bid them go labor today; Now white the fields of the harvest we see, Someone must labor if sav’d it shall be, Who then will answering say, “Lord, send me, Gladly I’ll labor today.” Topics: Life and Service; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: [Out in the market-place idle ones stand]
