I bind unto myself today
Author: St. Patrick (372-466); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:1-6 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation;
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his death on cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spicèd tomb;
his riding up the heavenly way;
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c]
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Being of God Holy and One; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; God In Creation; God in Trinity; God Protection of; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK

Before the Ending of the Day
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray!
Thy grace and peace to us allow
And be our guard and keeper now.

From evil dreams defend our sight;
Drive far away our wicked foe
That stain of sin we may not know.

Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son,
Who with the Holy Ghost and Thee
Both lives and reigns eternally.

Around the Throne of God a Band
Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:11 Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band
Of glorious angels ever stand;
Bright things they see, sweet harps they hold,
And on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around Him, ready still
To sing His praise and do His will;
And some, when He commands them, go
To guard His servants here below.
3 Lord, give Thy angels ev'ry day
Command to guide us on our way,
And bid them ev'ry evening keep
Their watch around us while we sleep.
4 So shall no wicked thing draw near
To do us harm or cause us fear;
And we shall dwell, when life is past,
With angels round Thy throne at last.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

A little child the Saviour came
Author: William Robertson (1820-1864) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:11-12 Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came,
the mighty God was still his name,
and angels worshipped as he lay
the seeming infant of a day.
2 He who, a little child, began
to show the world God's loving plan,
proclaims from heaven the message free,
'Let little children come to me.'
3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
of sprinkled water name them thine:
their souls with saving grace endow;
baptize them with thy Spirit now.
4 O give thine angels charge, good Lord,
them safely in thy way to guard;
thy blessing on their lives command,
and write their names upon thy hand.
5 O thou, who by an infant's tongue
dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
may these, with all the heavenly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Baptism; Angels; Children Used With Tune: COMMANDMENTS
