Holy zeal and diligence
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXCIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Diligence and holy zeal; Zeal and diligence First Line: While carnal men, with all their might Lyrics: 1 While carnal men, with all their might
Earth's vanities pursue,
How slow the advances which I make,
With heaven itself in view!
2 Inspire my soul with holy zeal;
Great God, my love inflame;
Religion, without zeal and love,
Is but an empty name.
3 To gain the top of Zion's hill,
May I with fervor strive;
And all these powers employ for thee,
Which I from thee derive! Languages: English
Holy zeal and diligence
Work, for the night is coming!
Author: Mrs. A. L. Coghill, 1838- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #391b (1917) Topics: Diligence Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming!
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work, for the night is coming!
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labour,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work, for the night is coming!
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth, to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man's work is o'er. Languages: English Tune Title: DILIGENCE

Work, for the night is coming
Waiting for the coming of his Lord; or, the active christian
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXV (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Diligence and holy zeal First Line: Ye servants of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in his sight,
For awful is his name.
3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command;
And while we speak, he's near:
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O happy servant he
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crown'd.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
With his own bounteous hand,
And raise that favorite servant's head
Amidst th' angelic band.

There’s a Heavenly Race
Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #62 (1910) Topics: Diligence First Line: There's a heav'nly race Refrain First Line: There's a crown of victory Lyrics: 1 There’s a heav’nly race
That our feet must run,—
Till the goal is won;
Tho’ the hosts of sin
Rise on ev’ry hand,
We will forward go
To the promised land.
Refrain:
There’s a crown of victory,
Crown of victory,
Waiting for us thro’ his boundless grace;
There’s a crown of victory,
Crown of victory,
When we shall see him face to face.
2 There’s a heav’nly race!
We must cast away
Ev’ry hind’ring weight,
Lest our feet should stray;
Jesus call us on,—
Hear his sweet voice sound,—
“Christian, follow me
To the higher ground.” [Refrain]
3 There’s a heav’nly race!
We must win the prize
Ere the sunlight fades
In the glowing skies;
Let us watch and pray,
Tho’ the road be long;
God will tune our lips
To the victor’s song. [Refrain]

Haste Away
Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #102 (1910) Topics: Diligence First Line: O haste away, the moments fly Refrain First Line: Then haste away Lyrics: 1 O haste away, the moments fly,
Our working days will soon pass by;
Go forth on hill and busy pain,
No toil for God is ever vain.
O haste away, and do your part
With willing hands and faithful heart,
The hardest task content to take,
With earnest zeal, for his dear sake.
Refrain:
Then haste away,
Do not delay,
Time flies so fast,
Life will not last.
Go prove his word,
You’ll find it true;
A great reward
He offers you.
Then haste away,
Do not delay,
Beyond the skies,
Awaits your prize;
Then haste away,
O haste away,
The King of kings is calling you.
2 O haste away, press up and on
The narrow path where Christ has gone;
Your very best with gladness bring,
In loyal homage to the King.
O haste away, nor stay content
Until love’s treasures all are spent;
Each lowly act of charity
By him will well remembered by. [Refrain]
3 O haste away, the guiding light
Fills darkest paths with glory bright;
Let living hope each heart inspire;
To grow like him be your desire.
O haste away the works to share,
You’ll surely find the Master there;
The deepest joy your heart can know
Will be his fellowship below. [Refrain]

Do the Duty Nearest Lying
Author: Alice Jean Cleator Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #136 (1910) Topics: Diligence Refrain First Line: Work, O work! the Master needs you Lyrics: 1 Do the duty nearest lying,
It will make the next more clear;
Linger not for doubt or sighing,
Labor on with heart of cheer.
Tho’ the task to thee seem lowly,
Do it bravely; it is thine;
Ev’ry deed for God is pure and holy,
Love will make them all divine.
Refrain:
Work, O work! the Master needs you,
In this wondrous harvest field;
Work, O work! the Master calls that
You may your best service yield.
2 O the task of God’s assigning
Is the one for thee alone!
Waste no time in weak repining,
Labor on till day is done.
Does the tempter whisper to thee,
“Hasten from the path of right?”
Listen not, press bravely onward, ever
Tow’rd the land of love and light. [Refrain]
3 Is the pathway lone and dreary,
Keep the closer to thy Guide,
Close to him who bore the thorn-crown,
And the wound-prints in his side.
If the toil seem like a burden,
Jesus will that burden bear;
Tell to him thine ev’ry anxious trial,
Bring to him thy weight of care. [Refrain]

Life Is Real, Life Is Earnest
Author: H. W. Longfellow Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #190 (1910) Topics: Diligence Lyrics: 1 Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal;
“Dust thou art, to dust returnest,”
Was not spoken of the soul.
2 Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.
3 Lives of good men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime;
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
4 Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
Some forlorn and ship-wrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
5 Let us then be up and doing,
Nor our onward course abate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
