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 24:5

• [Luk 24:5] Easter, Joyous Easter

  Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time! Bells ring out their message, joy in every chime; Sweetly through their music, faint an echo swells, Voices seem to mingle with the bells. (Glad Easter bells.) Refrain Seek ye not the living here among the dead; Christ the Lord is risen, risen as He said; Blessèd reassurance, gone the weary night, Christ is risen! Easter breaks in floods of light! Voices in a garden, near a rock-hewn tomb, Gracious heav’nly voices, cheering earth’s dark gloom; Voices from the glory, sent from thence to tell, Jesus lives again! Immanuel! (Immanuel!) Refrain Other voices echo, through the Easter chime One above all others, speaks with pow’r sublime; Tender words of comfort, peace and love profound, O’er the world today His words resound. (His words resound.) Refrain

• [Luk 24:5] Hallelujah! Jesus Lives!

  Hallelujah! Jesus lives! He is now the Living One; From the gloomy halls of death Christ, the conqueror, has gone, Bright forerunner to the skies Of His people, yet to rise. Jesus lives! Why do you weep? Why that sad and mournful sigh? He who died our Brother here Lives our Brother still on high. Lives forever to bestow Blessings on His church below. Jesus lives! And thus, my soul, Life eternal waits for you; Joined to Him, your living head, Where He is, you shall be, too; With the Lord, at His right hand, As a victor you shall stand. Jesus lives! Let all rejoice. Praise Him, ransomed of the earth. Praise Him in a nobler song, Cherubim of heavenly birth. Praise the victor King, whose sway Sin and death and hell obey. Jesus lives! To Him my heart Draws with ever new delight. Earthly vanities, depart, Hinder not my heavenward flight. Let this spirit ever rise To its Magnet in the skies. Hallelujah! Angels, sing! Join with us in hymns of praise. Let your chorus swell the strain Which our feebler voices raise; Glory to our God above And on earth His peace and love!

• [Luk 24:5] Ye Fainting Souls, Lift Up Your Eyes

  Ye fainting souls, lift up your eyes To where the morning lights the skies! The awful shadows flee away Before the swift advancing day. The Lord is ris’n; He could not die; He lives for you eternally; And by His victory o’er the grave His people He will surely save! No longer mourn your seeming loss; No longer weep before the cross, Nor search the darkness of the tomb; While overheard the morn has come! Now what shall harm your joyful souls While your Redeemer all controls? No night shall hide again His face; No grave shall be His resting place.
