[2Co 4:1] Since Through God’s Mercy
Since through God’s mercy this ministry’s ours,
Bringing men righteousness through God’s great power,
We don’t lose heart but renounce shameful ways;
We don’t deceive but the truth plainly say.
To unbelievers our message is veiled;
They are made blind by the god of this world.
But God who said, “Let the dark turn to light,”
Shined in our hearts with His glory so bright.We are hard pressed on all sides but not crushed;
We are perplexed, but we never give up;
We’re persecuted but not left by God;
We are struck down, but we’re never destroyed.
We have this treasure in jars made of clay,
That God’s great power and not ours be displayed.
Within our bodies Christ’s death do we show,
That Jesus’ life in us now may be known.We know we’ll be raised with Jesus one day;
Therefore, our trials do not cause dismay.
Though on the outside we’re wasting away,
Inwardly we are renewed day by day.
Our present troubles will soon pass away;
Eternal glory they’ll bring us some day.
We fix our eyes not on what we can see;
Only the unseen will eternal be.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Ere daily toils begin,
Then open wide the door of prayer,
And let the light stream in.

How rich Thy bounty, King of kings!

How splendidly they shine!Gold is but dross, and gems but toys,
Should gold and gems compare;
How mean, when sent against those joys
Thy poorest servants share!Yet all these treasures of Thy grace
Are lodged in urns of clay;
And the weak sons of mortal race
The immortal gifts convey.Feebly they lisp Thy glories forth,
Yet grace the victory gives;
Quickly they molder back to earth,
Yet still Thy Gospel lives.Such wonders power divine effects;
Such trophies God can raise;
His hand, from crumbling dust, erects
His monuments of praise.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Take what Thou wilt, I’ll ne’er repine;

My soul would cling to Thee.Far from her home, fatigued, oppressed,
Here she has found her place of rest
An exile still, yet not unblest,
While she can cling to Thee.What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove,
With patient, uncomplaining love
Still would I cling to Thee.Though faith and hope may long be tried,
I ask not, need not aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to Thee!Blessed is my lot, whate’er befall;
What can disturb me, who appall,
While as my Strength, my Rock, my All,

Hath spared His people hitherto;
Not willing that the soul should die,
Though great its past iniquity.Then let us all with earnest care,

And works of mercy and of love,
Entreat for pardon from above;That He may all our sins efface,
Adorn us with the gifts of grace,

Our food, our drink, our sleep;
From idle word and jest refrain
And steadfastly begin again
A stricter watch to keep.Now Heav’n-taught love will haste to rise
And seek the cheerless bed,
Where cold and wan the sufferer lies,
And Christ Himself to heedful eyes
Is hungering for bread.’Tis now that zealous charity
Her goods more largely spends,
Lays up her treasure in the sky,
And freely yields, ere death draw nigh,
To God the wealth He lends.Then consecrate us, Lord, anew,
And fire our hearts with love;

Within, without, be pure and true,
Rekindled from above.Now fuller praise and glory be

Come and bring to His work service good and true,
Still the same reply—“sometime!”Refrain

Bright rays from the Golden Clime?
But the sinner long hardened, has turned away,
With the fatal word—“sometime!”Refrain
O soul, take heed, ere the shadows fall,
And the day of grace be past,
For how shall a trembling sinner stand

Thy footsteps on the way we trace;
O keep us, aid us by Thy grace;
We follow Thee.Whom have we in the heaven above,
Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love?
Still in Thy light we onward move;
We follow Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal
