Behold, the Master passeth by!
Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #169b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by!
Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye?
With low sad voice He calleth thee,
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me."
2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care,
Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare?
From earthly toils lift up thine eye;
Behold, the Master passeth by!
3 One heard Him calling long ago,
And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
For Jesus and His blessèd cross.
4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear
Seemed every day afresh to hear;
Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
And fired his hope, and nerved his will.
5 God gently calls us every day:
Why should we then our bliss delay?
He calls to heaven and endless light:
Why should we love the dreary night?
6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call,
At which he rose and left his all:
Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me;
I will leave all, and follow Thee.
Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew; Christ's Call; Parochial Missions Tune Title: ST. LAWRENCE
Behold, the Master passeth by!
O thou who makest souls to shine
Author: John Armstrong, 1813-1856 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #702 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O thou who makest souls to shine
with light from lighter worlds above,
and droppest glistening dew divine
on all who seek a Saviour’s love;
2 do thou thy benediction give
on all who teach, on all who learn,
that all thy church may holier live,
and every lamp more brightly burn.
3 Give those who teach pure hearts and wise,
faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer;
themselves first training for the skies,
they best will raise their people there.
4 Give those who learn the willing ear,
the spirit meek, the guileless mind;
such gifts will make the lowliest here
far better than a kingdom find.
5 O bless the shepherd; bless the sheep:
that guide and guided both be one,
one in the faithful watch they keep,
until this hurrying life be done.
6 If thus, good Lord, thy grace be given,
in thee to live, in thee to die,
before we upward pass to heaven,
we taste our immortality. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Ember Days Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-12 Languages: English Tune Title: ST LAWRENCE

Lord Jesus Christ, we seek Thy face
O Thou Who makest souls to shine
Author: J. Armstrong Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #181 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
And droppest glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Saviour's love;
2 Do Thou Thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That so Thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
3 Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer:
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
4 Give those that learn the willing ear,
The spirit meek, the guileless mind;
Such gifts will make the lowliest here
Far better than a kingdom find.
5 O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one,
One in the faithful watch they keep
Until this hurrying life be done.
6 If thus, good Lord, Thy grace be given,
Our glory meets us ere we die;
Before we upward pass to heaven
We taste our immortality.

O Thou Who makest souls to shine
O Thou, Who makest souls to shine

O Thou, Who makest souls to shine
Look from Thy sphere of endless day
Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #272 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might!
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from Thee!
3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered, homeless flock, till all
Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold.
4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene
That makes us sadden as we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Topics: The Church Missions Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LAWRENCE
