Gud, i mina unga dagar

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Gud, i mina unga dagar Lär mig alltid tjäna dig, Att jag gör, hvad dig behagar, städse går på lifvets stig! Lär mig bygga all min ro På din nåd och Kristi tro, Så att, hvad mig än må hända, Intet kan mig från dig vända! 2 O, hur kan jag nånsin löna Moders kärlek, faders vård, All den huldhet, jag fått röna I min lugna barndoms gård! Men dock mycket mera än, Fader uti himmelen, Mig du älskat, mig du hägnat Och med dina gåfvor fägnat. 3 Därför jag, o Gud, dig beder: Lär mig först att älska dig! Gif och nåd, att jag bereder Fröjd åt dem, som vårdat mig, At föräldrar, lära re! Värdes ock mig krafter ge Att i handling tack hembära At min barndoms kyrka kära! 4 Fåglaran med glädje sjunga I den klara, mogonväkt; Liljorna på marken gunga, Lifvade af vårens fläkt. Låt ock mig till ditt behag Ägna dig min lefnadsdag! Skänk den sanna lefnadsfröjden, Helga den med ljus från höjden! 5 Som det gröna träd i skogen Växer friskt i sommarregn, Låt mig växa, ren och trogen, I ditt hulda fadershägn! Vänd allt orent bort från mig, Låt mig hafva rot i dig Och mig hålla vid det ena, Dig att älska, frukta, tjäna! Used With Tune: FREU DICH SEHR, O MEINE SEELE

It bids us seek early the pearl of great price, Ere th'heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice. 3 The Bible! the Bible! we hail it with joy; Its truths and its glories our tongues shall employ; We'll sing of its triumphs, we'll tell of its worth, And send its glad tidings afar o'er the earth.

Author: Hugh Stowell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,300 hymnals First Line: From ev'ry stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From ev'ry stormy wind that blows, From ev'ry swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads: A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend: Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed: Or how the host of hell defeat, Had suff'ring saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there, on eagle wing we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more, And heav'n comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat!

Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine thro' endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heav'n depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His Name. 4 Soon shall He come with pow'r to bless All who do here His Name confess; And then may this my glory be, That He is not ashamed of me.

Se, hur fågeln gladt sig svingar

Author: Joel Blomqvist Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Se, hur fågeln gladt sig svingar Upp mot himlen, klar och blå! Hör hans sång, hur skönt den klingar1 Lust det är att höra på. Han af morgonsolen väckes Till att lofva Gud med fröjd, Och när aftonsolen släckes, Hvilar han så trygg och nöjd. 2 Skulle jag då icke sjunga Herrens lof på barnavis? Skulle ej min lösta tunga Stämma upp min Jesu pris? Visst må jag, af honom funnen, Frälst uti min ungdoms dar, För den nåd, åt mig är vunnen, Prisa Gud med lofsång klar. 3 Därför jag min sång uppstämmer, Gladt som fågeln på sin kvist, Nu farväl med all min jämmer! Syndabördan har jag mist. Uti Lammets blod ren tvagen, När min själ har frid med Gud, Och som fågeln hela dagen Vill jag höja lofvets ljud. Used With Tune: RIPLEY
