That steward accus'd to his Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:1-9 Lyrics: 1 That steward accus'd to his Lord, Soon heard that solemn fatal word; Come quickly give account to me: Thou can'st no longer steward be. 2 Shew thy account and state thy case: Thou shalt no longer keep that place-- My goods, to thee I can't intrust, Since I do hear thou art unjust. 3 On earth as stewards we are plac'd, Not to neglect, destroy, or waste; The gifts and graces God doth give, But to improve them while we live. 4 Before the Lord we must appear, To answer for our steward-ships here; We must account to God alone, For all that we on earth have done. 5 Then let us seek and strive to know, And humbly ask what we shall do; To fit us for the time to come When we must seek another home. 6 The text directs you very plain, How to this home you may attain; Pray notice well and understand The great Jehovah's just command. 7 If you have riches less or more, And there with help, the helpless poor-- Then may you ever hope to speed, And find a home when you shall need. Topics: Ninth Sunday after Trinity

Broad is the road that leads to death

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 459 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:13 Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler. 2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross, Is the Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the way of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new,-- Which hypocrites could ne'er attain; Which false apostates never knew.

Strong, peaceful man of Galilee

Author: Harry W. Farrington Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Luke 16:13-15 Lyrics: 1 Strong, peaceful man of Galilee, robed with your strength we long to be— not to revenge; to heal and pray, to turn the cheek, and tribute pay. Robed with your strength we long to be, strong, peaceful man of Galilee. 2 Strong, righteous man of Galilee, dressed with your peace we long to be— in temple court, your cleansing rod; on greed and lies, the wrath of God. Dressed with your peace we long to be, strong, righteous man of Galilee. 3 Strong, suff’ring man of Galilee, clad in your grace we hope to be— love at the well, share Martha’s loss, forgive the nails, and take the cross. Clad in your grace we hope to be, strong, suff’ring man of Galilee. 4 God’s peaceful man of Galilee, Love’s triumph, we at last will see— to crumble ev’ry bound’ry wall, build highways to the hearts of all. Love’s triumph, we at last will see, God’s peaceful man of Galilee.
