Three Things I Promise (Ce que je promets)
Author: Brian Wren; David Fines Hymnal: More Voices #176 (2007) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Aging First Line: Three things I promise, Holy God (Ce que je promets, ô Dieu saint) Lyrics: ENGLISH:
1 Three things I promise, Holy God,
in age and youth, in life and death:
to bless your Name, and cling to Christ,
and listen for the Spirit's breath.
2 Your love unfolded time and space,
and life, and all that life became,
and so, with thankful heart and voice,
through good and ill, I bless your Name.
3 I follow, serve, and cling to Christ
amid our culture's tides and trends,
for here your Name is most revealed:
Majestic Love, and Best of Friends.
4 Enlivened as the Spirit moves
to cleanse, awaken, and renew,
I pray that justice, peace, and truth,
may seed and grow in all I do.
5 If I should live when vigour fades,
and family and friends are gone,
three acts of loving faith remain
when days are slow, and work is done.
6 Revive and guide me, Living God,
as day by day, until my death,
I bless your Name, and cling to Christ,
and listen for the Spirit's breath.
FRENCH:
1 Ce que je promets, ô Dieu saint,
c'est d'être á toi dès aujourd'hui,
chanter pour toi chaque matin,
d'être á l'écoute de l'Esprit.
2 Ton amour a créé le temps,
créé l'univers et la vie;
ainsi mon coeur reconnaissant,
Dieu, te rend grâce et te bénit.
3 Je veux servir, suivre Jésus
que ce soit loin ou bien ici;
son nom nous offire le salut.
Majesté, Amour, Tendre Ami.
4 Par ton Esprit-Saint, animé,
pour guérir et renouveler,
que paix, justice et vérité,
germent de tout ce que je fais.
5 Quand j'aurai atteint les vieux jours,
que seront partis mes amis,
ce que j'ai promis dans l'amour
sera comme un dernier merci.
6 Oui, gardemoi, ô Dieu vivant,
en chaque matin de ma vie;
que jusqu'au dernier, confiant,
je chante et j'écoute l'Esprit.

As Children, We May Learn to Love
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #15 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Aging Lyrics: 1 As children, we may learn to love,
to trust, and as we grow,
to test and try the world around,
enlarging what we know.
2 If songs and stories fill our hearts,
a vital seed may grow
to bear the fruit of faith and hope:
the love our lives can show.
3 When change and sorrow come our way
our faith is tried by fire,
but from a tiny seed can grow
the tallest redwood spire.
4 This faith, no longer like the old,
is stronger for the years.
Embracing life and death, it holds
our laughter and our tears.
5 We learn to spend and to be spent,
and living free from fear,
we bear the healing fruit of faith,
and show God's presence here. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1 Languages: English Tune Title: PINOLE VALLEY
