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!

With You at my right hand, Then I shall never fail; Uphold me, Lord, and I shall stand, Thro' grace I will prevail. 3.

Not What My Hands Have Done

Author: Horatuis Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals First Line: Not what my hands have done Lyrics: 1. Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; Not what my 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 awful load. 2. Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; Your pow'r alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but Yours, no other blood will do; No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely thro'. 3. I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfalt'ring lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because He lives. Scripture: Jeremiah 10:23 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Hark, How the Watchmen Cry

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hark, how the watchmen cry, Attend the trumpet’s sound! Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh, The powers of hell surround: Who bow to Christ’s command, Your arms and hearts prepare! The day of battle is at hand! Go forth to glorious war! 2. See on the mountain-top The standard of your God! In Jesus’ name I lift it up, All stained with hallowed blood. His standard-bearer, I To all the nations call, Let all to Jesus’ cross draw nigh! He bore the cross for all. 3. Go up with Christ your head, Your captain’s footsteps see; Follow your captain, and be led To certain victory. All power to Him is giv’n, He ever reigns the same; Salvation, happiness, and Heav’n Are all in Jesus’ name. 4. Only have faith in God; In faith your foes assail, Not wrestling against flesh and blood, But all the powers of hell; From thrones of glory driv’n, By flaming vengeance hurled, They throng the air, and darken Heav’n, And rule the lower world.

Make Me a Captive, Lord (Cautívame, Señor)

Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906; Federico J. Pagura, 1923-2016 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword And I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find; It has no spring of action sure, It varies with the wind. It cannot freely move Till thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My pow'r is faint and low Till I have learned to serve; It lacks the needed fire to glow, It lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world Until itself be driv'n; Its flag can only be unfurled When thou shalt breathe from heav'n. 4 My will is not my own Till thou hast made it thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne, It must its crown resign. It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife When on thy bosom it has leant, And found in thee its life. --- 1 Cautívame, Señor, y libre en ti seré; anhelo ser un vencedor, rindiéndome a tus pies. No puedo ya confiar tan sólo en mi poder, en ti yo quiero descansar y fuerte habré de ser. 2 Mi débil corazón vacila sin cesar, y es como nave sin timón en turbulento mar. Concédele, Señor, perfecta libertad; envuélvele en tu santo amor y libre así será. 3 Sin fuerzas para amar, y así mejor vivir; tú sólo puedes inspirar el gozo de servir. Quisiera desplegar mis alas, oh Señor, mas solo lo podré lograr al soplo de tu amor. 4 Cautívame, Señor, que en ti mi voluntad tendrá un bautismo de vigor, firmeza y santidad. Podrá la tentación mi vida sacudir; no habrá más cierta protección que la que encuentre en ti.

Jesus, the Conqueror, Reigns

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the Conqueror, reigns, In glorious strength arrayed, His kingdom over all maintains, And bids the earth be glad. Ye sons of men, rejoice In Jesus’ mighty love, Lift up your heart, lift up your voice To Him who rules above. 2. Extol His kingly power, Kiss the exalted Son, Who died, and lives, to die no more, High on His Father’s throne; Our Advocate with God, He undertakes our cause, And spreads through all the earth abroad The victory of His cross. 3. That bloody banner see, And in your Captain’s sight, Fight the good fight of faith with me, My fellow soldiers, fight! In mighty phalanx joined, To battle all proceed; Armed with the unconquerable mind Which was in Christ your Head. 4. Urge on your rapid course, Ye blood besprinkled bands; The heavenly kingdom suffers force, ’Tis seized by violent hands; See there the starry crown That glitters through the skies! Satan, the world, and sin, tread down, And take the glorious prize. 5. Through much distress and pain, Through many a conflict here, Through blood, ye must the entrance gain; Yet, O disdain to fear! Courage! your Captain cries, Who all your toil foreknew Toil ye shall have; yet all despise, I have o’ercome for you. 6. The world cannot withstand Its ancient conqueror, The world must sink beneath The hand which arms us for the war; This is the victory! Before our faith they fall; Jesus hath died for you and me; Believe, and conquer all! Used With Tune: DIADEMATA Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

I Lift My Heart to Thee (Sternhold)

Author: Thomas Sternhold, 1500-1549 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: I lift my heart to Thee Lyrics: 1. I lift my heart to Thee, My God and Guide most just; Now suffer me to take no shame, For in Thee I do trust. Direct me in Thy truth, And teach me, I Thee pray; Thou art my God and Savior, On Thee I wait alway. 2. Thy mercies manifold, I pray Thee, Lord, remember, I eke Thy pity plentiful, For they have been fore’er. Remember not the faults And frailty of my youth; Remember not how ignorant I have been of Thy truth. 3. Nor after my deserts Let me Thy mercy find, But of Thine own benignity Lord have me in Thy mind. His mercy is full sweet, His truth a perfect guide, Therefore the Lord will sinners teach And such as go aside. 4. The humble He will teach His precepts for to keep: He will direct in all His ways The lowly and the meek. For all the ways of God Are truth and mercy both To them that keep His testament The witness of His truth. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Ah! Whither Should I Go?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 193 hymnals First Line: Ah! whither should I go Lyrics: 1. Ah! whither should I go, Burdened and sick and faint? To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint? My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay. 2. What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart? Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away. 3. I now believe in Thee, Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done! 4. In me is all the bar, Which Thou wouldst fain remove; Remove it, and I shall declare That God is only love. The following verses are commonly omitted: 5. Some cursèd thing unknown Must surely lurk within, Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin. 6. Jesu, the hindrance show, Which I have feared to see; Yet let me now consent to know What keeps me out of Thee. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER Text Sources: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, 1741
