Proverbs 20

• [Pro 20:11] We Are But Little Children Weak

  We are but little children weak, Nor born in any high estate; What can we do for Jesus’ sake, Who is so high and good and great? We know the holy innocents Laid down for Him their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Him in fire and strife. We wear the cross they wore of old Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus’ sake? O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus’ sake, A weary war to wage with sin. When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good humor brighten there, And still do all for Jesus’ sake. There’s not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus’ sake.

• [Pro 20:21] I Bind My Heart This Tide

  I bind my heart this tide To the Galilean’s side, To the wounds of Calvary, To the Christ who died for me. I bind my soul this day To the brother far away, And the brother near at hand, In this town, and in this land. I bind my heart to thrall To the God, the Lord of all, To the God, the poor man’s Friend, And the Christ whom He did send. I bind myself to peace, To make strife and envy cease, God, knit Thou sure the cord Of my thralldom to my Lord!
