Lord, Who at Cana's Wedding Feast

Author: Adelaide Thrupp; Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast Didst as a Guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here. For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2. This holy vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife, Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betide, No evil shall destroy, Through careworn days each care divides And doubles every joy. 3. On those who now before Thee kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more. Oh, grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, (stanzas 1 & 3)

O Son of Man, Thou Madest Known

Author: Milton S. Littlefield Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Son of Man, Thou madest known, Through quiet work in shop and home, The sacredness of common things, The chance of life that each day brings. 2. O workman true, may we fulfill In daily life Thy Father’s will; In duty’s call, Thy call we hear To fuller life, through work sincere. 3. Thou master workman, grant us grace The challenge of our tasks to face; By loyal scorn of second best, By effort true, to meet each test. 4. And thus we pray in deed and word, Thy kingdom come on earth, O Lord; In work that gives effect to prayer, Thy purpose for Thy world we share. Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD

Shall This Life Of Mine Be Wasted?

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall this life of mine be wasted? Shall this vineyard lie untilled? Shall true joy pass by untasted, And this soul remain unfilled? 2 Shall the God-given hours be scattered, Like the leaves upon the plain? Shall the blossoms die unwatered By the drops of heavenly rain? 3 Shall I see each fair sun waking, And not feel, it wakes for me? Each glad morning, brightly breaking, And not feel, it breaks for me? 4 Shall I see the roses blowing, And not wish to bloom as they? Holy fragrance round me throwing, Luring others on the way. 5 Shall I hear the free bird singing In the summer’s stainless sky, Far aloft its glad flight winging, And not seek to soar as high? 6 Shall this heart still spend its treasures On the things that fade and die; Shall it court the hollow pleasures Of bewildering vanity? 7 Shall these lips of mine be idle; Shall I open them in vain? Shall I not with God’s own bridle Their frivolities restrain? 8 Shall these eyes of mine still wander? Or, no longer turned afar, Fix a firmer gaze and fonder On the bright and morning Star? 9 Shall these feet of mine, delaying Still in ways of sin be found, Braving snares and madly straying On the world’s bewitching ground? 10 No, I was not born to trifle Life way in dreams or sin! No, I must not, dare not stifle Longings such as these within! 11 Swiftly moving, upward, onward, Let my soul in faith be borne; Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward, Let my eye unblinking turn! 12 Where the cross, God’s love revealing, Sets the fettered spirit free, Where it sheds its wondrous healing, There my soul, thy rest shall be. 13 Then no longer idly dreaming Shall I fling my years away; But, each precious hour redeeming, Wait for the eternal day!
