Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.8.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Let us work and pray together Lyrics: 1 Let us work and pray together, With a firm and strong endeavor, Hearts and hands united ever In the service of the Lord; In His constant love abiding, And to Him our all confiding, With His gentle hand still guiding We shall conquer through His word. 2 In the dawn of life’s fair morning, With its smile our path adorning, Let us heed the Master’s warning: Time is flying, work today. See the royal host advancing, Armed with zeal, and upward glancing, Full of hope and joy entrancing; Let us quickly haste away. 3 Come and join the ranks before us; Hark, their songs are floating o’er us, Hear the glad and tuneful chorus, How it vibrates on the air; Home is near, and toil is ending, Soon the mount of joy ascending, Where the blest their harps are bending, We shall meet our loved ones there.

Easter Carol

Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.8.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Oh, the gladness and the glory Lyrics: 1 Oh, the gladness and the glory Of the tender Easter story, "Christ is risen! Christ is risen!" Do you hear the angels say? All the bells triumphant ring it, All the choirs celestial sing it, And the gentle zephyrs wing it Thro’ the skies this sacred day. 2 Oh, the wondrous transformation, Working out the world’s salvation! Christ, the crucified Redeemer, Once consigned to darkest gloom, Changing shadow into splendor, With His love so sweet and tender, Son of God, our true defender, Rising deathless from the tomb. 3 Oh, the light of Easter morning, All the earth and sky adorning! Oh, how restful, how refreshing Is its sacredness and love! On my heart its peace is stealing, Like a gentle balm of healing, Christ, my risen Lord, revealing, Throned in majesty above.

Through The Shadows

Author: Lillian Rainor Meter: 8.8.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: To each pilgrim here benighted Lyrics: 1 To each pilgrim here benighted, Jesus has His mercy plighted; He hath graciously invited Every trembling soul to Him; If He only walk beside us, Then no evil can betide us; He will comfort, He will guide us, Thro’ the shadows dark and grim. 2 Tho’ the raging storms assail us, Tho’ our strength and courage fail us, Tho’ the gloomy shadows veil us From His face along the way; If we trust Him and revere Him, If we truly love and fear Him, If in trial we are near Him, He will turn our night to day. 3 Brightest skies sometimes are clouded, Brightest hopes are oft enshrouded, Life with doubts and fears is crowded, Bravest hearts are made to ache; But for us ’twere worse than madness To give way to doubts and sadness; Visions of eternal gladness Thro’ the shadows soon shall break.
