Luke 1:38

• [Luk 1:38] From East West, From Shore To Shore

  From east to west, from shore to shore, Let every heart awake and sing The holy Child Whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. Behold, the world’s Creator wears The form and fashion of a slave; Our very flesh our Maker shares, His fallen creature, man, to save. For this how wondrously He wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of His grace. She bowed her to the angel’s word Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. He shrank not from the oxen’s stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary’s breast Himself was fed. And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord Most High, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. All glory for this blessèd morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to Thee, O virgin born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.

Luke 2:49

• [Luk 2:49] Jesus A Child His Work Begun

  Jesus a child His work begun: How radiant dawned His heavenly day! And those who such a race would run As early should be on their way. His Father’s business was His care; Yet in man’s favor still He grew; O might we learn by thought and prayer, Like Him a work of love to do! For all mankind He came, nor yet An infant’s visit would deny; Nor friend nor mother did forget In His last hour of agony. O children, ask Him to impart That spirit clear, that temper mild, Which made the mother in her heart Keep all the sayings of her Child. Bless Him Who said, of such as you His Father’s kingdom is: and still, His yoke to bear, His work to do, Study His life to learn His will.

• [Luk 2:49] O Master Workman Of The Race

  O Master Workman of the race, Thou Man of Galilee, Who with the eyes of early youth eternal things did see, We thank Thee for Thy boyhood faith that shone Thy whole life through; “Did ye not know it is My work, My Father’s work to do?” O Carpenter of Nazareth, Builder of life divine, Who shapest man to God’s own law, Thyself the fair design, Build us a tower of Christlike height, that we the land may view, And see, like Thee, our noblest work, our Father’s work to do. O Thou Who dost the vision send and givest each his task, And with the task sufficient strength, show us Thy will, we ask; Give us a conscience bold and good, give us a purpose true, That it may be our highest joy our Father’s work to do.

Luke 9:23

• [Luk 9:23] Believe Not Those Who Say

  Believe not those who say The upward path is smooth, Lest thou should stumble in the way, And faint before the truth. It is the only road Unto the realms of joy; But he who seeks that blest abode Must all his powers employ. To labor and to love, To pardon and endure, To lift thy heart to God above, And keep thy conscience pure. Be this thy constant aim, Thy hope, thy chief delight, What matter who should whisper blame Or who should scorn or slight. What matters—if God approve, And if within thy breast, Thou feel the comfort of His love, The earnest of His rest?

  Master, we Thy footsteps follow, We Thy Word obey, Hear us, Thy dear Name confessing, While we pray. Now into Thy death baptizèd, We ourselves would be Dead to all the sin that made Thy Calvary. Rising with Thee, make us like Thee, In Thy love and care, In Thy zeal, and in Thy labor, And Thy prayer. Let the love that knows no failing Cast out all our fears, Let Thy pure and faithful Spirit Fill our years. Till we hear the trumpets sounding On the other side, And forever, in Thy Heaven We abide.

• [Luk 9:23] No Cross For Me?

  No cross for me, O blessèd Lord and Savior? No cross for me, when Thou Thine own didst bear, At midnight hour within the garden kneeling, While pitying stars beheld Thy anguish there. Refrain There is a cross, and gladly I accept it; There is a warfare with a host of sin; But Thou has op’d the gate of life eternal, And Thou wilt let Thine own dear children in. No cross for me, when Thou the King of glory, The Well-Beloved, the Father’s only Son, Didst with Thy blood atone for all transgressions? For Thou hast tasted death for ev’ry one. Refrain No cross for me? shall I on Pisgah’s mountain Content abide, from care and trial free? Ah, no, but thro’ the wilderness of sorrow, Tho’ pierced with thorns, my feet shall follow Thee! Refrain “Take up the cross if thou art My disciple!” Deep in my soul I hear Thy words of love: “Take up the cross, and when the war is over, Home, rest, and crown, with endless joy above!” Refrain

• [Luk 15:6] ’twas A Glad Day When Jesus Found Me

  I was lost in sin when Jesus found me, But He rescued me, all glory to His Name! And the cords of worldly pleasure bound me, Till He saved me from sin and shame. Refrain ’Twas a glad day when Jesus found me, When His strong arms were thrown around me; When my sins He buried in the deepest sea, And my soul He filled with joy and victory. ’Twas a glad day, O hallelujah! ’Twas a glad day He claimed His own. I will shout a glad hosanna in glory When I see Him upon His throne. O the bells of heaven now are ringing, For I hear their tones within my ransomed soul; And my heart is filled with joyful singing Since the Savior has made me whole. Refrain O the joy when we shall meet in glory, In the mansions of my Father’s home above; And through endless ages tell the story Of the Savior’s redeeming love. Refrain
