4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be, God is with all that serve the right, The holy, true, and free. 958 C. M. Make channels for the streams of love. Make channels for the streams of love, Where they may broadly run; And love has overflowing streams, To fill them every one. 2 But if at any time we cease Such channels to provide, The very founts of love for us Will soon be parched and dried. 3 For we must share, if we would keep, That blessing from above; Ceasing to give, we cease to have: Such is the law of love. 959 C. H. M. Blessed are ye that sow, etc. Isaiah 32:20. O be not faithless! with the morn Cast thou abroad thy grain! At noontide faint not thou forlorn, At evening sow again! Blessed are they, whate’er betide, Who thus all waters sow beside. 2 Thou knowest not which seed shall grow, Or which may die, or live; In faith, and hope, and patience, sow! The increase God shall give According to his gracious will— As best his purpose may fulfill. 3 O, could our inward eye but view, Our hearts but feel aright, What faith, and love, and hope can do, By their celestial might, We should not say, till these be dead, The power that marvels wrought is fled. 960 C. M. John 12:3. She loved her Saviour, and to him Her costliest present brought; To crown his head, or grace his name, No gift too rare she thought. 2 So let the Saviour be adored, And not the poor despised, Give to the hungry from your hoard, But all, give all to Christ. 3 Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind, Give to the weary rest; For sorrow’s children comfort find, And help for all distressed; 4 But give to Christ alone thy heart, Thy faith, thy love supreme; Then for his sake thine alms impart, And so give all to him. 961 C. M. 1 Peter 2:21-23. What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Around thy steps below; What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe! 2 For, ever on thy burdened heart A weight of sorrow hung; Yet no ungentle, murmuring word Escaped thy silent tongue. 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love. 4 O give us hearts to love like thee! Like thee, O Lord, to grieve Far more for others’ sins than all The wrongs that we receive. 5 One with thyself, may every eye, In us, thy brethren, see The gentleness and grace that spring From union, Lord! with thee.
