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.

• [Luk 2:49] Our Father’s Business

  Let us be about our Father’s business, Ev’ry day, as we go On our way here below: Never let it suffer thro’ remissness, But seek to make it thrive and grow. Refrain Then respond to the call, He has use for us all, And His work is a labor of love; And the days soon will come In the great Harvest Home, For our rest and rejoicing above. Do you ask what is the work He sends us? ’Tis whate’er we can do, ’Tis to bear and be true, And to use the talents that He lends us, That others may accept Him too. Refrain When in Heaven and the toil is ended, Oh, what bliss it will be In that place then to see Those dear souls whom we on earth befriended, And led to Him Who made them free. Refrain

Luke 14:23

• [Luk 14:23] Calm Them In

  “Call them in”—the poor, the wretched, Sin-stained wand’rers from the fold; Peace and pardon freely offer; Can you weigh their worth with gold? “Call them in”—the weak, the weary, Laden with the doom of sin; Bid them come and rest in Jesus; He is waiting—“Call them in.” “Call them in”—the Jew, the Gentile; Bid the stranger to the feast; “Call them in”—the rich, the noble, From the highest to the least: Forth the Father runs to meet them, He hath all their sorrows seen; Robe, and ring, and royal sandals, Wait the lost ones—“Call them in.” “Call them in”—the mere professors, Slumbering, sleeping, on death’s brink; Naught of life are they possessors, Yet of safety vainly think; Bring them in—the careless scoffers, Pleasure seekers of the earth: Tell of God’s most precious offers, And of Jesus’ priceless worth. “Call them in”—the broken-hearted, Cowering ’neath the brand of shame; Speak Love’s message low and tender, ’Twas for sinners Jesus came: See, the shadows lengthen round us, Soon the day-dawn will begin; Can you leave them lost and lonely? Christ is coming—“Call them in.”

• [Luk 14:23] Go And Work!

  Christians, wake, no longer sleep; Shall we rest while others weep? Shall we sit with folded hands When the Lord Himself commands? Refrain Go and work! this hour begin; Go and seek the lost to win; From the dark abodes of sin, To the feast, oh, bring them in! Do we love the Savior’s Name? Can our faith His promise claim? Have we pledged to Him our all? Shall we not obey His call? Refrain Do we trust Him as we ought? Do we live as He has taught? Are we His, and His alone? Let our faith by works be shown. Refrain There’s a cross that we must bear If the crown we hope to wear: Onward, then, with vigor new; Time is short, the days are few. Refrain
