Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Dear little sister, how d'ye do? Lyrics: Martha. 1 Dear little sister, how d'ye do? Alice. I'm well, I thank you; how are you? Martha. I'm well; but 'tis not you I thank. Alice. Are you so rude? Martha. No! only frank. Thank you for asking, not for health, That you can't give, no more than wealth: 'Tis God that gives us health and breath, And he can save our souls from death. 2 Alice. Who clothes us? God, and keeps us warm, Guards us both day and night from harm. Alice. And does God give us what we eat? Martha. Yes, bread and fruit, herbs, fish, and meat. Alice. But if we're sick? God, if he please, Can make us well and give us ease. Now let us sing commandments ten, Which teach the ways of God to men:-- Both. 3 Have thou no other God than me, Before no idol bow thy knee; Take not the name of God in vain, Nor dare the Sabbath day profane. Give both thy parents honor due, Take heed that thou no murder do; Abstain from words and deeds unclean, Nor steal, though thou art poor and mean; 4 Nor tell a willful lie, nor love it; What is thy neighbor's, dare not covet. These let us keep in word and deed, And God will bless in time of need; Then shall we walk in wisdom's ways, And in God's service spend our days, Forever keeping in the road That leads to glory and to God.

I Saw One Weary

Author: Annie R. Smith (1828-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: I saw one weary, sad, and torn Lyrics: 1 I saw one weary, sad, and torn, With eager steps press on the way, Who long the hallowed cross had born, Still looking for the promised day; While many a line of grief and care, Upon his brow was furrowed there; I asked what buoyed his spirits up, “O this” said he-“the blessed hope.” 2 And one I saw, with sword and shield, Who boldly braved the world’s cold frown, And fought, unyielding, on the field, To win an everlasting crown. Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes, No murmur from his heart arose; I asked what buoyed his spirits up, “O this!” said he-“the blessed hope.” 3 And there was one who left behind The cherished friends of early years, And honor, pleasure, wealth re-signed, To tread the path bedewed with tears. Through trials deep and conflict sore, Yet still a smile of joy he wore; O! what can buoy the spirit up? ‘Tis this alone-the blessed hope. 4 While pilgrims here we journey on In this dark vale of sin and gloom, Through tribulation, hate, and scorn, Or through the portals of the tomb, Till our returning King shall come To tkae His exile captives home, O! what can bouy the spirits up? ‘Tis this alone– the blessed hope.
