Ere the Sun Goes Down

Author: Josephine Pollard Hymnal: JW1878 #62 (1879) First Line: I have work enough to do Lyrics: 1 I have work enough to do Ere the sun goes down, For myself and kindred too, Ere the sun goes down. Every idle whisper stilling, With a purpose firm and willing All my daily tasks fulfilling, Ere the sun goes down. Chorus: Ere the sun goes down, Ere the sun goes down, I must do my daily duty, Ere the sun goes down. 2 I must speak the loving word Ere the sun goes down; I must let my voice be heard Ere the sun goes down; Every cry of pity heeding, For the injured interceding, To the light the lost ones leading, Ere the sun goes down! [Chorus] 3 As I journey on my way, Ere the sun goes down, God's commands I must obey, Ere the sun goes down. There are sins that need confessing, There are wrongs that need redressing, If I would obtain the blessing Ere the sun goes down. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I have work enough to do]

My heart, my life, my all, I bring, To thee, my Savior and my King. Languages: English Tune Title: [I bring my sins to thee](51122)

Song Memories

Author: S. J. V. Hymnal: JW1878 #67 (1879) First Line: What mem'ries are stirred within me Refrain First Line: And I feel that when resting up yonder Lyrics: Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 1 What mem'ries are stilled within me, Recalled by that hymn so dear, That mother oft sang in my childhood So tenderly, sweet and dear; Tho' she has long since departed, I still, in my heart, can hear The voice of my mother singing That hymn, to the tune of Mear. Refrain: And I feel that when resting up yonder, Where cometh no grief or pain; I may hear from my dear sainted mother, That grand old tune again. 2 I think of my early childhood, So blest by her tender care, I think how she knelt down beside me And taught me that holy prayer: "Our father, who art in heaven," Then soft as a bird and clear, The hymn, that such comfort gave her, She sang to the tune of Mear. [Refrain] 3 The depth of my soul's affection, Alas, I could never tell, Till called to her beside, when dying, She bade me a long farewell; Then smiling she whispered faintly, In tones that I scarce could hear, "Why mourn for the friends departing? O sing to the tune of Mear." [Refrain] 4 No wonder my eyes are weeping Such bitter and lonely tears, The hymn and the tune we were singing Have opened a grave of years; And when in a grave by mother, They pillow my head to rest, My spirit with hers shall mingle With sorrow no more oppressed. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [What mem'ries are stirred within me]
