Hymns Found in Grace Livingston Hill Books

Gospel Song Books



Grace Livingston Hill included a number of what must have been her favorite hymns within her storylines. Many of them were written over a century ago and are no longer heard in the churches of today.

Locating those hymns is not always easy, especially when she only uses a line or two to further the plot. When we find a hymn, we offer them here for you to "see" and "hear" what Grace did when adding many of them to her characters' lives. This is a work in progress.

There's A Work For Each of Us

Found in An Old Missionary Meeting (from Katherine's Yesterday)

Words by A.A.A., 1878 • Music by James Granahan

Our master has taken His journey
To a country that’s far away,
And has left us the care of the vineyard,
To work for Him day by day.

Refrain

There’s a work for me and a work for you,
Something for each of us now to do,
Yes, a work for me and a work for you,
Something for each of us now to do.

In this "little while," doth it matter,
As we work, and we watch, and we wait;
If we’re filling the place He assigns us,
Be its service small or great.

Refrain

There’s only one thing should concern us,
To find just the task that is ours;
And then, having found it, to do it
With all of our God-giv’n pow’rs.

Refrain

Our master is coming most surely,
To reckon with every one;
Shall we then count our toil or our sorrow,
If His sentence be, "Well done"?

Refrain
