The toil of brain, or heart, or hand

Author: Thomas W. Freckleton, 1827-1903 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The toil of brain, or heart, or hand, Is man's appointed lot; He who God's call can understand, Will work and murmur not. Toil is no thorny crown of pain, Bound round man's brow for sin; True souls from it all strength may gain, High manliness may win. 2 O God! who workest hitherto, Working in all we see, Fain would we be, and bear, and do, As best it pleaseth Thee. Where'er Thou sendest we will go, Nor any question ask, And what Thou biddest we will do, Whatever be the task. 3 Our skill of hand, and strength of limb, Are not our own, but Thine; We link them to the work of Him Who made all life divine! Our brother-friend, Thy holy Son, Shared all our lot and strife; And nobly will our work be done, If moulded by His life.

Show me Thy face one transient gleam

Author: Unknown Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Show me Thy face one transient gleam Of loveliness divine, And I shall never think nor dream Of other love save Thine; All lesser light will darken quite, All lower glories wane, The beautiful of earth will scarce Seem beautiful again. 2 Show me Thy face my faith and love Shall henceforth fixed be, And nothing here have power to move My soul's serenity; My life shall seem a trance, a dream, And all I feel and see Illusive, visionary, Thou, The one Reality! 3 Show me Thy face I shall forget The weary days of yore, The fretting ghosts of vain regret Shall haunt my soul no more; All doubts and fears for future years In quiet trust subside, And nought but blest content and calm With my breast abide. 4 Show me Thy face the heaviest cross Will then seem light to bear, There will be gain for every loss, And peace with every care; With such light feet the years shall fleet, Life seem as brief as blest, Till I have laid my burden down, And entered into rest.
