SS&S 764: Are you sitting idle? Still there's work to do
1. Are you sitting idle? Still there's work to do;
In the Master's vineyard there's a place for you:
Be a faithful servant, ever ready stand;
Where the Master calls you---- lend a helping hand!
Lend a hand, lend a hand, lend a helping hand;
Weary ones are falling, lend a helping hand!
Lend a hand, lend a hand, lend a helping hand!
Jesus still is calling, lend a helping hand!
2. Is your voice now silent? There are
songs to sing;
Come and swell the chorus, make His praises ring!
Till the strains are wafted over sea and land,
Reaching up to heaven-----lend a helping hand!
3. Do your prayers no longer reach the
throne of grace, [steps retrace?
Asking that some wanderer might his
Earnest prayer may keep him-----from
the sinking sand,
Yours to-day may save him-----lend a helping hand

(SS&S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns
Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
