This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 315 hymnals Matching Instances: 166 Lyrics:
1 This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
Amen. Topics: Adoration; God the Father in Nature; God the Father Sovereignty Scripture: Job 38:7 Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

How Can We Name a Love
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love
that wakens heart and mind,
indwelling all we know
or think or do
or seek or find?
Within our daily world,
in every human face,
Love's echoes sound
and God is found,
hid in the commonplace.
2 If we awoke to life
built on a rock of care
that asked no great reward
but firm, assured,
was simply there,
we can, with parents' names,
describe, and thus adore,
Love unconfined,
a father kind,
a mother strong and sure.
3 When people share a task,
and strength and skills unite
in projects old or new,
to make or do
with shared delight,
our Friend and Partner's will
is better understood,
that all should share,
create, and care,
and know that life is good.
4 So in a hundred names,
each day we all can meet
a presence, sensed and shown
at work, at home,
or in the street.
Yet every name we see,
shines in a brighter sun:
In Christ alone
is Love full grown
and life and hope begun.

How Can We Name a Love
Not What These Hands Have Done
Author: H. Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done
Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole.
Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
Can bear my awe-full load.
2 Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within.
Thy love to me, O God,
Not mine, O Lord to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest
And set my spirit free.
3 Thy grace alone, O God,
To me can pardon speak;
Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God,
Can this sore bondage break.
I bless the Christ of God,
I rest on love divine,
By God's free gift of saving faith
I call this Savior mine.

Not What These Hands Have Done
"Fear Not!" the Angel Said
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: "Fear not!" the angel said, "God's joy is in the air! Lyrics: “Fear not!” the angel said, “God’s joy is in the air!
Now go to Bethlehem and see a newborn baby there.
A Savior, yet a child! So young, and yet the Lord!”
God’s grace astounds, God’s love surrounds this sinful, hurting world.
Fear not, you hungry child, you homeless refugee,
You battered woman, burdened down—God came to set you free.
For God’s own Son was poor; He cried and suffered, too.
God’s grace astounds; God’s love abounds for people just like you.
Fear not when questions come: “How can I know God’s way?”
“Do my possessions weigh me down?” “Can God change me today?”
For Jesus came to be true bread that satisfies;
And in his birth, God touched the earth; Christ saves, forgives, and guides.
Fear not, you church of Christ, distracted and distressed,
For long ago in troubled times, Christ came, and we were blest.
Our Prince of Peace is born—our light, our life, our song!
In him we see our unity; in him God makes us strong.

"Fear Not!" the Angel Said
Forever with the Lord
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 630 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Forever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be!
Life from His death is in that word
’Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home
2. My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith’s foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
3. Yet clouds will intervene,
And all my prospect flies;
Like Noah’s dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.
Anon the clouds depart,
The winds and waters cease,
While sweetly o’er my gladdened heart
Expands the bow of peace.
4. I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour,
The choral harmonies of Heaven
Earth’s Babel tongues o’erpower;
Then, then I feel that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
5. Forever with the Lord!
Forever in His will,
The promise of that faithful word,
Lord, here in me fulfill.
With You at my right hand,
Then I shall never fail;
Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand,
Through grace I will prevail.
6. So when my latest breath
Breaks through the veil of pain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
That resurrection word,
That shout of victory:
Once more, Forever with the Lord!
Amen, so let it be! Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA Text Sources: Poet's Portfolio, 1835
