The Lord is calling from the skies. Repentant come, in faith remain, And live in Him; from sin and pain And death shall He salvation give: He lives, and thou shalt also live. 4 With Him thy Guide, lies smooth and bright Thy pathway to the realm of light; Abiding faith, undying love, And hope lead to the home above. Thy life into His keeping give: He lives, and thou shalt also live. 5 Of glory shall His raiment be; O'er time and o'er eternity The Sun of Righteousness shall shine; In heaven's throne He sits divine; A footstool earth to Him shall give: He lives, and thou shalt also live.

Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Master, No Offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Master, no offering Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at Thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 2 Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to thee. 3 Some word of hope for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes Blinded with tears; Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. 4 Thus, in Thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide. And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to Thee, Dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.

Sing to the Lord of Harvest

Amen.

Amen.
