Fed Upon the Finest of the Wheat

Hungry, Lord, for Thy Word of truth,
Sitting at my Savior’s feet;

Feed me on the finest of the wheat.

Work for the Master I will do,
Trusting in His strength so great;
Living in His pastures new,
Feed me on the finest of the wheat.

Then to the harvest let us go,
Bugles sounding no retreat;
Workers for Jesus, He wants you
Fed upon the finest of the wheat.

Bread of life it is now to me,
Honey, milk and meat;
In Thy love I will ever be
Fed upon the finest of the wheat.

And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Galatians 6:9​

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. Hebrews 12:2-3​

oly:


Be Not Weary

Yes! He knows the way is dreary, knows the weakness of our frame,
Knows that hand and heart are weary; He, ‘in all points,’ felt the same.
He is near to help and bless, be not weary, onward press.

Look to Him who once was willing all His glory to resign,
That, for thee the law fulfilling, all His merit might be thine.
Strive to follow day by day where His footsteps mark the way.

Look to Him, the Lord of Glory, tasting death to win thy life;
Gazing on ‘that wondrous story,’ canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know that the Lord hath loved thee so?

Look to Him who ever liveth, interceding for His own:
Seek, yea, claim the grace He giveth freely from His priestly throne.
Will He not thy strength renew with His Spirit’s quickening dew?

Look to Him, and faith shall brighten, hope shall soar, and love shall burn;
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; rise! He calleth thee, return!
Be not weary on thy way Jesus is thy strength and stay.

LORD, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am.
Psalm 39:4

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12

​

oly:


Teach Me the Measure of My Days

Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame;
I would survey life’s narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
A span is all that we can boast,
An inch or two of time;
Man is but vanity and dust
In all his flower and prime.

See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o’er the plain;
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
Some walk in honor’s gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore;
They toil for heirs, they know not who,
And straight are seen no more.

What should I wish or wait for, then,
From creatures earth and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all.

The Two Sufficients

Evil shall pass with the day that brought it,
As the sea is stayed by the barrier land;

Outlasts the darkness, outruns the morn,
Out watches the stars in their nightly vigil;
And the foe that returns with the day reborn,
As he left it unwearied, shall find it unworn.

O Jesus Savior, Friend Unseen

The faint, the weak on Thee may lean,
Help me, throughout life’s varying scene,
By faith to cling to Thee.
Blessed with this fellowship divine,
Take what Thou wilt, I’ll ne’er repine;
E’en as the branches to the vine,
My soul would cling to Thee.

Far from home, fatigued, oppressed,
My soul has found that place of rest
An exile still, yet not unblest,
While still and will 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,
All, Savior, I cling to Thee!

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25

​

oly:


Do Not Worry

Do not worry for your life, what you’ll eat or drink or wear;
Is not life much more important than these things that cause you care?
See the birds — they sow and reap not, nor in barns do store away.
Yet your heav’nly Father feeds them; have you not more worth than they?

And why worry about clothing? see the lilies’ glad array;
Solomon in all his splendor never dressed as fine as they.
This is how God clothes the grasses, though their life is but a day.
Will He not much more meet your needs? Let your faith not fade away.

So I tell you, do not worry, asking what you’ll eat or drink.
Nor be anxious about clothing — These are things that all men seek.
And your Father knows you need them; worry won’t command His power.
Which of you by constant fretting adds to life a single hour?

Seek first, then, your Father’s kingdom and His righteousness on high.
All these things will then be given; God will not neglect your cry.
So fret not about tomorrow; God directs the future, too.
Though each day will bring troubles, trust in Him — He’ll see you through.

While from earth the darkness passes
Silently away…

In thy chamber still
For the coming day and duties
Ask to know His will,

Then He’ll lead the way before you,
Mountains laying low;
Making desert places blossom,
Sweet’ning Marah’s flow,

Would you know this life of triumph,
Victory all the way?
Then put God in the beginning
Of each coming day.

Hold to God’s unchanging hand.

Lord, I am glad Thou know’st my inmost being,
Glad Thou dost search the secrets of my heart;
I would not hide one folly from Thy seeing,
Nor shun Thy healing touch to save the smart.

Like warp and woof the good and ill are blended,
Nor do I see the pattern that I weave;
Yet in Thy love the whole is comprehended,
And in Thy hand my future lot I leave.

Let not my shame and sorrow weigh me down,
Lest in despair I fail to see its beauty,
And weeping vainly, miss the victor’s crown.

What shall I render to Thy name or how Thy praises speak?

I owe so much, so little can return unto Thy name,
Confusion seizes on my soul, and I am filled with shame.

O Thou that hearest prayers, Lord, to Thee shall come all flesh
Thou hast me heard and answered, my complaints have had access.
What did I ask for but Thou gav’st, what could I more desire?
But thankfulness even all my days I humbly this require.

Thy mercies, Lord, have been so great in number numberless,
Impossible for to recount or any way express.
O help Thy us that seek Thy face to return unto Thee praise
And walk before Thee as they ought, in strict and upright ways.

Thankfulness

For the many pleasures we have had today,
Family and fellowship with friends made us happy, quite —
So a hearty, “Thank you!” tells of our delight.
Before the day is over, let us each recall
How our heav’nly Father plans our pleasures all,
Planting seeds of kindness in each older heart;
So, dear Lord, we thank Thee: Bless us, as we part.

The spring’s great miracle of birth,
With sound of songs and wings;

In orchard, croft and field;

Of those who helped them yield;

And most, the gifts of hope and love,
Of wisdom, truth and right,
The gifts that shine like stars above
To chart the world by night.

With ready, generous hand,
Rich fruitage from the lives we live
To bless our home and land.

Father of mercies, in Thy Word what endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored for these celestial lines.
Here may the wretched sons of want exhaustless riches find;
Riches above what earth can grant, and lasting as the mind.

Here the fair tree of knowledge grows and yields a free repast;
And richer fruits than nature shows invite the longing taste.
Amidst these gloomy wilds below, when dark and sad we stray,
Here beams of Heaven relieve our woe, and guide to endless day.

Here springs of consolation rise to cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies, and sweet refreshment find.
Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice spreads heavenly peace around
And life and everlasting joys attend the blissful sound.

Oh, may these hallowed pages be our joy by day and night,
And still new beauties may we see, and still increasing light.
Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, O grant our fervent prayer,
Teach us to love Thy sacred Word, and view the Savior there.

Speaking a word to the weary,
Helping the weak ones along,
Shedding bright sunshine around them,
Cheering their hearts with a song.

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;

Harvest is passing away.
