Genesis 4:1-26

• [Gen 4:8] When Adam Fell

  When Adam fell, he quickly lost God’s image, which he once possessed: See all our nature since could boast In Cain, his first-born son, expressed! The sacrifice the Lord ordained In type of the Redeemer’s blood, Self-righteous reasoning Cain disdained, And thought his own first-fruits as good. Yet rage and envy filled his mind, When, with a fallen, downcast look, He saw his brother favor find, Who God’s appointed method took. By Cain’s own hand, good Abel died, Because the Lord approved his faith; And, when his blood for vengeance cried, He vainly thought to hide his death. Such was the wicked murderer Cain, And such by nature still are we, Until by grace we’re born again, Malicious, blind and proud, as he. Like him the way of grace we slight, And in our own devices trust; Call evil good, and darkness light, And hate and persecute the just. The saints, in every age and place, Have found this history fulfilled; The numbers all our thoughts surpass Of Abels, whom the Cains have killed! Thus Jesus fell—but O! His blood Far better things than Abel’s cries: Obtains His murderers peace with God, And gains them mansions in the skies.

Mark 13:34

• [Mar 13:34] Oh, What Are You Going To Do?

  Oh, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? You have thought of some useful labor, But what is the end in view? You are fresh from the home of your boyhood, And just in the bloom of youth! Have you tasted the sparkling water, That flows from the fount of truth? Is your heart in the Savior’s keeping? Remember, He died for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Will you honor His cause and kingdom, Wherever your path may be? And stand as a bright example, That others your light may see? Are you willing to live for Jesus? And ready the cross to bear? Are you willing to meet reproaches? The frowns of the world to share? Your lot may perhaps be humble, But God has a work for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? The morning of youth is past; The vigor and strength of manhood, My brother, are yours at last. You are rising in worldly prospects, And prospered in earthly things: A duty to those less favored The smile of your fortune brings. Go prove that your heart is grateful— The Lord has a work for you! Then what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? Your sun at its noon is high! It shines in meridian splendor, And rides through a cloudless sky. You are holding a high position Of honor, of trust, and fame; Are you willing to give the glory And praise to your Savior’s Name? The regions that sit in darkness Are stretching their hands to you; Then, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do? Oh, what are you going to do, brother? The twilight approaches now; Already your locks are silvered, And winter is on your brow. Your talents, your time, your riches, To Jesus, your Master, give; Then ask if the world around you Is better because you live. You are nearing the brink of Jordan, But still there is work for you; Then, what are you going to do, brother? Say, what are you going to do?

• [Joh 12:26] Christ Will Gather In His Own

  Christ will gather in His own To the place where He is gone, Where their heart and treasure lie, Where our life is hid on high. Day by day the voice saith, “Come, Enter thine eternal home”; Asking not if we can spare This dear soul it summons there. Had He asked us, well we know We should cry, “O spare this blow!” Yes, with streaming tears should pray, “Lord, we love him, let him stay.” [substitute her if appropriate] But the Lord doth naught amiss, And, since He hath ordered this, We have naught to do but still Rest in silence on His will. Many a heart no longer here, Ah! was all too inly dear, Yet, O Love, ’tis Thou dost call, Thou wilt be our All in all.

  He who would valiant be ’gainst all disaster, Let him in constancy follow the Master. There’s no discouragement shall make him once relent His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim. Who so beset him round with dismal stories Do but themselves confound—his strength the more is. No foes shall stay his might; though he with giants fight, He will make good his right to be a pilgrim. Since, Lord, Thou dost defend us with Thy Spirit, We know we at the end, shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away! I’ll fear not what men say, I’ll labor night and day to be a pilgrim. Who would true valour see, Let him come hither; One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. Whoso beset him round With dismal stories Do but themselves confound; His strength the more is. No lion can him fright, He’ll with a giant fight, He will have a right To be a pilgrim. Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit, He knows he at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away, He’ll fear not what men say, He’ll labor night and day To be a pilgrim.

• [Joh 12:26] How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

  How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Not from the blessèd footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn, Are these the consecrated road? ’Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. Lord, should my path through suffering lie Forbid it I should e’er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night. To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest, not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory.

  How blessèd, from the bonds of sin And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim, Thy servant, Lord, to be; The hardest toil to undertake With joy at Thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at Thy hand. With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before Thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow calm and still; For love can easily divine The One Belovèd’s will. Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord; Thus ever Thine alone, My soul and body given to Thee, The purchase Thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping by Thy side; And by my life or by my death Let Christ be magnified. How happily the working days In this dear service fly, How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws nigh, When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company; And ever where the Master is Shall His blest servants be.

  I saw one weary, sad, and torn, With eager steps press on the way, Who long the hallowed cross had borne, Still looking for the promised day; While many a line of grief and care, Upon his brow, was furrowed there; I asked what buoyed his spirits up, “O this!” said he—“the blessèd hope.” And one I saw, with sword and shield, Who boldly braved the world’s cold frown, And fought, unyielding, on the field, To win an everlasting crown. Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes, No murmur from his heart arose; I asked what buoyed his spirits up, “O this!” said he—“the blessèd hope.” And there was one who left behind The cherished friends of early years, And honor, pleasure, wealth resigned, To tread the path bedewed with tears. Through trials deep and conflicts sore, Yet still a smile of joy he wore; I asked what buoyed his spirits up, “O this!” said he—“the blessèd hope.” While pilgrims here we journey on In this dark vale of sin and gloom, Through tribulation, hate, and scorn, Or through the portals of the tomb, Till our returning King shall come To take His exile captives home, O! what can buoy the spirits up? ’Tis this alone—the blessèd hope.
