James 2:8-26

• [Jam 2:16] Part In Peace: Is Day Before Us?

  Part in peace: is day before us? Praise His Name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o’er us? Bless His care Who guards the night. Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving, Rendering, as we homeward tread, Gracious service to the living, Tranquil memory to the dead. Part in peace: such are the praises God our Maker loveth best; Such the worship that upraises Human hearts to heavenly rest.

• [Jam 2:20] Christian, Rise And Act Thy Creed

  Christian, rise and act thy creed; Let thy prayer be in thy deed; Seek the right, perform the true, Raise thy works and life anew. Hearts around thee sink with care; Thou canst help their load to bear; Thou canst bring inspiring light, Arm their faltering wills to fight. Let thine aims be hope and joy, And thy worship God’s employ; Give Him thanks in humble zeal, Learning all His will to feel. Come, then law divine, and reign; Freest faith assailed in vain, Perfect love bereft of fear, Born in heaven and radiant here.

• [Jam 2:26] Dismiss Me Not Thy Service, Lord

  Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord, But train me for Thy will; For even I, in fields so broad, Some duties may fulfill; And I will ask for no reward, Except to serve Thee still. How many serve, how many more May to the service come; To tend the vines, the grapes to store, Thou dost appoint for some; Thou hast Thy young men at the war, Thy little ones at home. All works are good, and each is best As most it pleases Thee; Each worker pleases, when the rest He serves in charity; And neither man nor work unblest Wilt Thou permit to be. Our Master all the work hath done He asks of us today; Sharing his service, every one Share too His Sonship may: Lord, I would serve and be a son; Dismiss me not, I pray.
