1 Timothy 5:1--6:1

• [1Ti 5:18] Now The Laborer’s Task Is O’er

  Now the laborer’s task is o’er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Refrain Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. There the tears of earth are dried; There its hidden things are clear; There the work of life is tried By a juster Judge than here. Refrain There the Shepherd, bringing home Many a lamb forlorn and strayed, Shelters each, no more to roam, Where the wolf can ne’er invade. Refrain There the sinful souls, that turn To the cross their dying eyes, All the love of Christ shall learn At His feet in Paradise. Refrain There no more the powers of hell Can prevail to mar their peace; Christ the Lord shall guard them well, He Who died for their release. Refrain “Earth to earth, and dust to dust,” Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust For the resurrection day. Refrain

• [1Ti 5:22] Keep Thyself Pure

  Keep thyself pure! Christ’s soldier, hear, Through life’s loud strife, the calls rings clear. Thy Captain speaks: His word obey; So shall thy strength be as thy day. Keep thyself pure! Thrice blessèd he Whose heart from taint of sin is free; His feet shall stand where saints have trod, He with rapt eyes shall see his God. Keep thyself pure! For He Who died, Himself for thy sake sanctified; Then hear Him speaking from the skies, And victor o’er temptation rise. O Holy Spirit, keep us pure, Grant us Thy strength when sins allure; Our bodies are Thy temple, Lord; Be Thou in thought and act adored.
