Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of Life and King of Glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee, For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee. 2 Since the day the blessèd Mother Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly We must seek Thine aid the more. 3 Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say, Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 4 When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us, then, a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice, Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 5 May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Used With Tune: ORIEL

To the Name That Is Salvation

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To the name that is salvation, Praise and homage let us pay; Life of every generation, Law that all the stars obey; Love and light by whose creation All that is stands fast today. 2. Fairest name beyond all speaking, Fullest end of all desire, Close, yet far beyond all seeking, Goodness, beauty, truth, entire; Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking, Radiance never vexed with ire. 3. ’Tis the name of mercy, speeding, Just and unjust with His ray; Power that rules by patient leading, Not by force, the easier way; So that man, in freedom heeding, May the law of love obey. 4. Name of awe and name of pleasure, Glow divine of grace untold; Sum of values, whose full treasure Striving art can ne’er unfold; Sea of virtue passing measure, Life that doth all life uphold. 5. Hail, O Father, all creating, Now, as when the world began; Master mind, amazed we hail Thee, As the light-year depths we scan; Spirit of transcendent union, True and just Thy ways to man!

Lord of Life, Prophetic Spirit

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord of Life, prophetic Spirit, In sweet measure evermore To the holy children dealing Each his gift from Thy rich store; Bless Thy family, adoring As in Israel’s schools of yore. 2. Holy Jesus, Eye most loving, On each young disciple bent; Voice that, seeming earthly, summoned Samuel to the awful tent; Hand that cast Elijah’s mantle; Thine be all Thy grace hath lent. 3. As to Thine own seventy scholars Thou of old Thine arm didst reach, Under Thy majestic shadow Guiding them to do and teach, Till their hour of solemn unction; So be with us all and each. 4. God and Father of all spirits, Whose dread call young Joshua knew, Forty days in darkness waiting With Thy servant good and true, Thence to wage Thy war descending, Own us, Lord, Thy champions, too. 5. One Thy light, the temple filling, Holy, holy, holy Three; Meanest men and brightest angels Wait alike the word from Thee; Highest musings, lowliest worship, Must their preparation be. 6. Now Thou speakest—hear we trembling— From the glory comes a voice. Who accepts th’Almighty’s mission? Who will make Christ’s work his choice? Who for Us proclaim to sinners, Turn, believe, endure, rejoice? 7. Here are we, Redeemer, send us! But because Thy work is fire, And our lips, unclean and earthly, Breathe no breath of high desire; Send Thy seraph from the altar Veiled, but in his bright attire. 8. Cause him, Lord, to fly full swiftly With the mystic coal in hand, Sin consuming, soul transforming, (Faith and love will understand); Touch our lips, Thou awful Mercy With Thine own keen healing brand. 9. Thou didst come that fire to kindle; Fain would we Thy torches prove, Far and wide Thy beacons lighting With th’undying spark of love: Only feed our flame, we pray Thee, With Thy breathings from above. 10. Now to God, the soul’s Creator, To His Word and wisdom sure, To His all enlightening Spirit, Patron of the frail and poor, Three in One, be praise and glory, Here and while the heav’ns endure.
