Bounteous Source of ev'ry joy, Let your praise our tongues employ. All to you, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow. 2 All the plenty summer pours, Autumn's rich, o'erflowing stores, Flocks that whiten all the plain, Yellow sheaves of ripened grain -- Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. 3 Peace, prosperity, and health, Private bliss and public wealth, Knowledge with its gladd'ning streams, True religion's holier beams -- Lord, for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. 4 As your prosp'ring hand has blest, May we give you of our best And by deeds of kindly love For your mercies grateful prove, Singing thus through all our days: "Praise to God, immortal praise."

Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he lived below. 3 Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears; Then you will better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears. Be still, my soul; your Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Trust; Trust Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ, by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he. 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like his? Friends through fear his cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress, Many hands were raised to wound him, None would intervene to save, But the deepest stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that justice gave. 3 If you think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great, Here you see its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed; See who bears the awful load -- 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt -- None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

Fields are ripe and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward he offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I– send me, send me?" 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus; You can say he died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the Judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your off'rings You can do what God demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task he gives you gladly; Let his work your pleasure be. Answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I– send me, send me!" Topics: Missions; Missions Used With Tune: GALILEAN
