Hymn Context Compare
Telling the sto­ry God’s love is for all.
The strait gate un­to life —the nar­row way.
Seeks rest up­on its mo­ther’s knee,
For the child­ren to do,
Grace suf­fi­cient gives His own.
Though I may give all I pos­sess,
Though I may give all I pos­sess,
Give sin­ners re­sur­rect­ion,
Nurtured by sun and rain.
For mean­ing in lives where hope is weak.
What are you do­ing for Je­sus?
He knows the bit­ter, wea­ry way,
Jesus, ten­der Sav­ior, with Thine arm up­hold:
Oh, bro­ther, don’t hard­en thy heart.
Oh, bro­ther, don’t hard­en thy heart.
He speaks, and the sha­dows va­nish,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are press­ing hard;
The sons of the In­cas, the sons of old Spain—
start
Something the world can­not take away?

striv­ing

Body and soul by your wiles to de­stroy:
Upheld by strength di­vine Thy grace sup­plies;
Dear Lord, I come to Thee:
Like the One who once mur­mured
Long en­dur­ance wins the crown:
But not be giv­en by love with­in,
But not be giv­en by love with­in,
In sick­ness give us heal­ing,
Something to do for the Mas­ter’s sake,
To help spread Your Word through­out the land;
By lit­tle acts of kind­ness,
The souls that weep, the souls that pray,
When the sha­dows length­en, bring­ing sweet re­pose,
Dost thou hear His sweet voice soft and low?
Dost thou hear His sweet voice soft and low?
My joy is His ra­di­ant pre­sence,
Endless life will soon be your re­ward.
May an­gels of right­eous­ness sound forth the call,
More pa­tience in suf­fer­ing, more sor­row for sin.
Who from all sin is de­sir­ing re­lease?
