The Caution Is Not Vain

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11690 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The caution is not vain: We may unfaithful prove, And turn from God to sin again, And fall from pardoning love; Yet will we boldly press T’ward our high calling’s prize, And follow after holiness, And to perfection rise. 2 Perfection is the good Which wrestling saints receive, Worthy of all to be pursued Who in our Lord believe: Perfection is the goal Which terminates our race; And comes to that, the spotless soul Expires in his embrace.

On Taking Down the Christmas Greens

Author: Emma F. R. Campbell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12437 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: Take down the faded wreaths Lyrics: 1 Take down the faded wreaths, Untwine the garlands gay, Though that glad time we hung them up Seems but as yesterday. And from their crumbling leaves We still can almost hear The echoes of the carols sweet And greetings of new year. 2 But ah! full well we know The festive season’s o’er; And treading in life’s dusty ways We find ourselves once more. More swift than wheels of steam The golden hours have rolled; And while we dreamed the year was young, We wake to find it old. 3 Now clear above the din Of daily toil and care, We hear again in solemn tones The Lenten call to prayer: Now turn from pleasure’s round, A higher joy to find In fellowship with Him whose death Gave life to all mankind. 4 Thus do the years go on, And times and seasons glide, Till soon the story of our life Is closed and laid aside. Ah! Life’s a mystic page! In vain we strive to scan The hidden thought between the lines— God’s purposes to man. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET
