     1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

     7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.(KJV)

1. Lord of the living harvest 
That whitens o’er the plain, 
Where angels soon shall gather 
Their sheaves of golden grain, 
Accept these hands to labor, 
These hearts to trust and love, 
And deign with them to hasten 
Thy kingdom from above. 

2. As lab’rers in Thy vineyard, 
Lord, send them out to be 
Content to bear the burden 
Of weary days for Thee. 
To ask no other wages 
When Thou shalt call them home 
Then to have shared the travail 
Which makes Thy kingdom come. 

3. Be with them, God the Father; 
Be with them, God the Son; 
And God the Holy Spirit, 
Most blessed Three in One. 
Make them Thy faithful servants 
Thee rightly to adore 
And fill them with Thy fulness 
Both now and evermore. 


Hymn: WS 780 :
Dear Lord, to Your True Servants Give

Hymnary.org

1. Dear Lord, to Your true servants give  
The grace to You alone to live.  
Set free from sin to serve You, Lord,  
They go to share Your living Word,  
The gospel message to proclaim  
That all may know Your saving name. 

2. They gladly go at Your command  
To spread your Word o’er sea and land.  
Be with them, Lord, and make them strong  
To heal sin’s ills, to right the wrong.  
Your rule is over wind and wave,  
And mighty is Your arm to save. 

3. When all their labor seems in vain,  
Revive their sinking hopes again;  
And when success crowns what they do,  
Oh,keep them humble, Lord, and true  
Until before Your judgment seat  
They lay their trophies at Your feet.
