Almighty Father, Heaven and Earth

Author: Edward A. Dayman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 First Line: Almighty Father, heav'n and earth Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, heav'n and earth With lavish wealth before Thee bow; Those treasures owe to Thee their birth, Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou. 2 The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea, The gold, the silver, sparkling gem, The waving corn, the bending tree, Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them. 3 To Thee, as early morning's dew, Our praises, alms, and prayers shall rise As rose, when joyous earth was new, Faith's patriarchal sacrifice. 4 We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest The costliest offerings on Thy shrine; But when we give, and give our best, We give Thee only what is Thine. 5 O Father, whence all blessings come; O Son, Dispenser of God's store; O Spirit, bear our offerings home: Lord, make them Thine forevermore. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Stewardship Used With Tune: O HEILIGE DREFALTIGKEIT

Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus

Author: Sigmund von Birken, 1626-1681; J. Adam Rimbach, 1871-1941 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:13 Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus, follow his example pure, flee the world which would deceive us and to sin our souls allure. Ever in his footsteps treading, body here, yet soul above, full of faith and hope and love, let us do the Father's bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me; Savior, lead; I follow thee. 2 Let us suffer here with Jesus, to his image e'er conform; heaven's glory soon will please us, sunshine follow on the storm. Though we sow in tears of sorrow, we shall reap in heav'nly joy, and the fears that now annoy shall be laughter on the morrow. Christ, I suffer here with thee; there, O share thy joy with me. 3 Let us also die with Jesus; his death from the second death, from our soul's destruction, frees us, quickens us with life's glad breath. Let us mortify, while living, flesh and blood and die to sin, and the grave that shuts us in shall but prove the gate to heaven. Jesus, here I die to thee, there to live eternally. 4 Let us gladly live with Jesus; since he's risen from the dead, death and grave must soon release us. Jesus, thou art now our head. We are truly thine own members, where thou livest, there live we; take and own us constantly, faithful Friend, as thy dear brethren. Jesus, here I live to thee, also there eternally.
