Seedtime and Harvest

Author: Charles E. Orr Hymnal: TTvirt #951 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: As pilgrims and strangers we journey through life Lyrics: 1 As pilgrims and strangers we journey through life: Through sunshine and shadow, through calm and through strife; Each day we are scattering seed as we go, Some day ’twill be harvest—“we reap what we sow.” 2 Though weary and worn, and alone in your way, And stormclouds are gath’ring, and dark is your day, Weep not, toiling one, neither faint as you go; The harvest is nearing—“we reap what we sow.” 3 Though life may appear as a cold, barren waste, And comes no return of the bread you have cast, Continue to do loving deeds as you go; The harvest is nearing—“we reap what we sow.” 4 We’ll reap what we sow when the harvest is come, Some day we shall garner the deeds we have done; Then heed not the storm, nor the cold winds that blow, Toil on till the harvest—“we reap what we sow.” Topics: Sowing/Reaping Scripture: Galatians 6:7 Tune Title: [As pilgrims and strangers we journey through life]

One in Christ

Author: Clara M. Brooks Hymnal: TTvirt #8 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: As sweet strains of heav'nly music Lyrics: 1 As sweet strains of heav’nly music Blend in one harmonious sound, So the members of Christ’s body In blest unity are found— One in mind, and one in spirit, One in doctrine, faith, and love; One in name—oh, precious union, Like the angel hosts above. 2 Not like waves upon the ocean, Tossing wildly, rolling high; Or the tempest’s great commotion, As it sweeps across the sky; But like twilight, gently stealing O’er the verdant, shady lea, So the holy saints in Zion Rest—from all their sins set free. 3 Blood-washed pilgrims on the highway Chant the sweet, melodious strain Of their freedom from confusion, Angels join the glad refrain; One with all the hosts of heaven, There their names are written down; Jesus only, Jesus ever, In their hearts as King they crown. 4 Love, the theme of all their praises, Doth in holy bond unite All their hearts, in Him made perfect, Turned from darkness unto light; Thus the saved in Christ together Dwell in sacred unity, In the secret of His presence— Hid away, dear Lord, in Thee. Scripture: Ephesians 4:13 Tune Title: [As sweet strains of heav'nly music]
