2 Timothy 4:5-6

• [2Ti 4:5] Thou, Who Didst Call Thy Saints Of Old

  Thou, who didst call Thy saints of old Thy chosen flock to teach, Who mad’st the fearful hearted bold, And quick the slow of speech; Still Thou dost ask whom Thou shalt send And who will go for Thee, To feed Thy lambs, Thy sheep to tend; “Lord, here am I; send me.” O send us—e’en as Thou, O Lord, Wast by the Father sent— To speak Thine own absolving word To sinners penitent; To wash Thy chosen in the flood Whereby new birth is given; To minister the sacred Food, The Bread of Life from Heav’n. And Thou, who didst by prophets deign To speak the will Divine, That we may never speak in vain, May all our words be Thine; Oh, teach us, Holy Ghost, that we Thine heritage may teach; Bid us to prophesy for Thee, And in Thy power to preach. So may we, though unworthy still, Most Holy Trinity, Thy prophets, pastors, priests, fulfill Our sacred ministry; That, when beside the crystal sea We lay our office down, The souls that we have trained for Thee May be our joy and crown.

• [2Ti 4:5] Work Must Go On, The

  A glad message rings through the world today, It echoes through the countries afar, That the rising Sun, with celestial ray, Scatters healing where’er men are. Refrain The good work must go on and on, Till the world for the Lord is won, Greater triumphs must be gained, Greater heights in love attained, Till the glorious day of God shall dawn. There are many souls that were dark as night, All shadowed by the blackness of sin, That are glowing now with immortal light, Since the glory of God shone in. Refrain There are hungry hearts that were starved for bread, But Jesus has supplied every need; For on Him, the Bread of Life, they have fed Till their spirits are glad indeed. Refrain And the deaf shall hear, and the blind eyes see; The Word of God shall quicken and glow; Christ the King of earth and Heaven still shall be Till His glory each heart shall know. Refrain
