Matthew 2:23

• [Mat 2:23] Have Ye Been To Nazareth?

  Have ye been to Nazareth, Lowly, yet so fair? Yes, we sought His humble town, Found our Master there! Did He dwell in palace fair, Holding kingly sway? Nay, we found a Carpenter, Toiling day by day! Refrain In life’s Nazareth we seek, Christ, the Master meek, In our toil from day to day, Find our Lord for aye! Did ye find at Nazareth, Christ the Son of God? Yea, He was the Son of Man, Earthly paths He trod. Did ye find a blessing there Ever to abide? Yea, by Him the toilsome tasks E’er are glorified. Refrain Is there light from Nazareth, Daily life to crown? Yes, the glory streams afar, Distant years adown. Will the Lord of Nazareth, Friend and Comrade be? All unseen He dwells with us, As in Galilee! Refrain

Matthew 7:25

• [Mat 7:25] Building Day By Day

  We are building in sorrow, and building in joy, A temple the world cannot see; But we know it will stand if we found it on a rock, Thro’ the ages of eternity. Refrain We are building day by day As the moments glide away, Our temple which the world may not see; Every victory won by grace Will be sure to find its place, In our building for eternity. Every deed forms a part in this building of ours, That is done in the name of the Lord; For the love that we show and the kindness we bestow, He has promised us a bright reward. Refrain Then be watchful and wise, let the temple we rear Be one that no tempest can shock For the Master has said, and He taught us in His Word, We must build upon the solid rock. Refrain

• [Mat 7:25] My Hope Is Built

  My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name. Refrain On Christ the solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand; All other ground is sinking sand. When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. Refrain His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. Refrain When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. Refrain

Matthew 9:20

• [Mat 9:20] She Only Touched The Hem Of His Garment

  She only touched the hem of His garment As to His side she stole, Amid the crowd that gathered around Him, And straightway she was whole. Refrain Oh, touch the hem of His garment! And thou, too, shalt be free! His saving power this very hour Shall give new life to thee! She came in fear and trembling before Him, She knew her Lord had come; She felt that from Him virtue had healed her, The mighty deed was done. Refrain He turned with “Daughter, be of good comfort, Thy faith hath made thee whole!” And peace that passeth all understanding With gladness filled her soul. Refrain

Matthew 9:36

• [Mat 9:36] Jesus, My Savior, Look On Me

  Jesus, my Savior, look on me, For I am weary and oppressed; I come to cast myself on Thee: Thou art my Rest. Look down on me, for I am weak; I feel the toilsome journey’s length; Thine aid omnipotent I seek: Thou art my Strength. I am bewildered on my way, Dark and tempestuous is the night; O send Thou forth some cheering ray: Thou art my Light. I hear the storms around me rise; But when I dread th’impending shock, My spirit to the Refuge flies: Thou art my Rock. When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to Thee; my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding place imparts: Thou art my Peace. Standing alone on Jordan’s brink, In that tremendous latest strife, Thou will not suffer me to sink: Thou art my Life. Thou wilt my every want supply, E’en to the end, whate’er befall; Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All.

Matthew 21:28

• [Mat 21:28] Go Work In My Vineyard

  “Go work in My vineyard,” there’s plenty to do; The harvest is great and the lab’rers are few; There’s weeding and fencing, and clearing of roots, And plowing, and sowing, and gath’ring of fruits. There are foxes to take, there are wolves to destroy, All ages and ranks I can fully employ; I’ve sheep to be tended, and lambs to be fed; The lost must be gathered, the weary ones led. Refrain Go work, go work, go work in My vineyard; there’s plenty to do; Go work, go work, the harvest is great, and the lab’rers are few. “Go work in My vineyard”; I claim thee as Mine; With blood did I buy thee and all that is thine— Thy time and thy talents, thy loftiest powers, Thy warmest affections, thy sunniest hours. I willingly yielded My kingdom for thee, The song of archangels— to hang on the tree, In pain and temptation, in anguish and shame, I paid thy full ransom; My purchase I claim Refrain “Go work in My vineyard”; oh, work while ’tis day! The bright hours of sunshine are hastening away, And night’s gloomy shadows are gathering fast; The time for our labor will ever be past. Begin in the morning and toil all the day; Thy strength I’ll supply, and thy wages I’ll pay; And blessèd, thrice blessèd, the diligent few, Who finish the labor I’ve giv’n them to do. Refrain

  Far away, beyond the sea, Where the fields are bright and fair, There’s a call, a plaintive plea; I must hasten to be there. Refrain Let me go, I cannot stay, ’Tis the Master calling me; Let me go, I must obey; Native land, farewell to thee. Hark! I hear the Master say, “Up, ye reapers! why so slow?” To the vineyard far away, Earthly kindred, let me go. Refrain Just beyond the rolling tide The uplifted hand I see; Lo! the gates are open wide, And the lost are calling me. Refrain Father, mother, sister dear, I must bid you all adieu; Hark! the call is sounding clear, There’s a work for me to do. Refrain Bear me on, thou restless sea, Let the winds the canvas swell; Afric’s shore I long to see, [substitute name of country to suit] Native land, farewell, farewell. Refrain

• [Mat 21:28] O God, Who Workest Hitherto

  O God, who workest hitherto, Working in all we see, Fain we would be, and bear, and do, As best it pleaseth Thee. The toil of brain, or heart, or hand, Is man’s appointed lot; He who Thy call can understand Will work, and murmur not. Where’er Thou sendest we will go, Nor any question ask, And what Thou biddest we will do, Whatever be the task. Our skill of hand and strength of limb Are not our own, but Thine; We link them to the work of Him Who made all life divine. Our Brother-Friend, Thy holy Son, Shared all our lot and strife; And nobly will our work be done If molded by His life.

  Out where the reapers are toiling Out where they earnestly call, Let us away in the morning, There is a work for us all; Lifting the vines that are drooping, Trying their bloom to renew, Bathing their leaves in a fountain Purer and sweeter than dew. Refrain Out where the reapers are toiling, Out where they earnestly call, Let us away, away in the morning, There is a work for us all. Out where the gleaners are toiling, Patiently, cheerfully still, If we are willing to labor, Here is a place we can fill; Speaking a word to the weary, Helping the weak ones along, Shedding bright sunshine around them, Cheering their hearts with a song. Refrain Out where the sheaves they are binding, Sheaves for the garner above, Go in the Name of the Master, Go in the spirit of love; Hark! He is tenderly saying, “Work in My vineyard today”; Haste, for the summer is waning, Harvest is passing away. Refrain

• [Mat 28:11] Come Unto Me

  Hear the blessèd Savior calling the oppressed, “O ye heavy laden, come to Me and rest. Come, no longer tarry, I your load will bear, Bring Me every burden, bring Me every care.” Refrain Come unto Me, I will give you rest; Take My yoke upon you, hear Me and be blessed. I am meek and lowly, come and trust My might. Come, My yoke is easy, and My burden’s light. Are you disappointed, wandering here and there, Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care? Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest. Refrain Stumbling on the mountains dark with sin and shame, Stumbling toward the pit of hell’s consuming flame. By the powers of sin deluded and oppressed, Hear the tender Shepherd, “Come to Me and rest.” Refrain Have you by temptation often conquered been, Has a sense of weakness brought distress within? Christ will sanctify you, if you’ll claim His best. In the Holy Spirit, He will give you rest. Refrain

• [Mat 28:11] Come Unto Me, When Shadows Darkly Gather

  Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed; Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned, Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling; Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling; Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed; Come unto Me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.

  “Come unto Me, ye weary, and I will give you rest.” O blessèd voice of Jesus, which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, of pardon, grace and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, of love which cannot cease. “Come unto Me, dear children, and I will give you light.” O loving voice of Jesus, which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts are filled with sadness, and we had lost our way; But He hath brought us gladness and songs at break of day. “Come unto Me, ye fainting, and I will give you life.” O cheering voice of Jesus, which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager, the fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty and stronger than the strong. “And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out.” O welcome voice of Jesus, which drives away our doubt, Which calls us, very sinners, unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, to come, dear Lord, to Thee.

From Heav’n He came, of Heav’n He spoke, To Heaven He led His followers’ way; Dark clouds of gloomy night He broke, Unveiling an immortal day. “Come, wanderers, to My Father’s home; Come, all ye weary ones, and rest.” Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey Thee, love Thee, and be blest.

• [Mat 28:11] Wanderer, The

  I had wandered off from Heaven, On the mountains cold and gray, When I heard my Savior calling, To His lost sheep far away; How I listened as the tear drops Coursed adown like falling rain, While His tender words of promise, Made my spirit glad again. Refrain “Come, oh, come to Me,” said Jesus, Come and I will give you rest, I will take away the burden From the heavy laden breast. No matter who the wand’rer, Nor how far he’s gone astray, Behold, whosoever cometh, I will comfort him today. I was working in the temple With the Savior by my side, Where the multitude assembled, In its misery and pride; Glancing upward from my labor I just caught His distant smile, “You have placed your work between us, Come and talk with Me awhile.” Refrain Many early friends had left me, While the vacant room and chair, Were reminders of the prices I had paid down to be there; I was brooding o’er my losses When the Savior spoke to me, “You have let your sorrows settle, Like a cloud ’tween Me and thee.” Refrain Then I saw at once that Jesus Could be better far than all; He could lighten up the pathway, Could surround me like a wall; He could take the place of loved ones, Wipe the falling tears away, Turn my sorrows into laughter, Change the night-tide into day. Refrain So I heard the Savior calling, “Come thou weary one away,” And my answer quickly followed, “Lord, I’m coming home today”; Now His loving arms are round me, And my head is on His breast, While I catch His faintest whisper, And my spirit is at rest.

• [Mat 28:11] With Tearful Eyes I Look Around

  With tearful eyes I look around; Life seems a dark and stormy sea; Yet, midst the gloom, I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper,“Come to Me.” It tells me of a place of rest; It tells me where my soul may flee: O to the weary, faint, oppressed, How sweet the bidding, “Come to Me.” When the poor heart with anguish learns That earthly props resigned must be, And from each broken cistern turns, It hears the accents, “Come to Me.” When against sin I strive in vain, And cannot from its yoke get free, Sinking beneath the heavy chain, The words arrest me, “Come to Me.” When nature shudders, loath to part From all I love, enjoy, and see; When a faint chill steals o’er my heart, A sweet voice utters, “Come to Me.” “Come, for all else must fall and die; Earth is no resting-place for thee; Heavenward direct thy weeping eye, I am thy Portion; come to Me.” O voice of mercy! voice of love! In conflict, grief, and agony, Support me, cheer me from above, And gently whisper, “Come to Me.”
