Baited, the Question Rose
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #62 (2008) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Baited, the question rose
from somewhere in the crowd:
"Teacher, you truly know God's way;
is paying tax allowed?"
Jesus perceived their trap:
"Why do you test me so?
Bring here the coin the tax requires,
and see what it will show."
2 "Whose image does it bear,
whose name and titles tell?"
"Caesar's, of course," they smugly said
and thought they answered well.
"Give Caesar what is his;
God, what is God's alone."
Strong words, convincing and profound,
like truth already known.
3 May we discern, O God,
your daily gifts of grace;
show us your image freshly coined
in every heart and face.
Help us fit tribute yield
through prayers and hymns we raise,
but most of all by deeds of love
to give you thanks and praise. Topics: Dedication/Commitment; Thanksgiving and Gratitude Scripture: Matthew 22:15-22 Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
Baited, the Question Rose
Wide open are Thy hands
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux (?), d. 1153; Charles Porterfield Krauth Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #65 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Wide open are Thy hands,
Paying with more than gold
The awful debt of guilty men,
Forever and of old.
Ah, let me grasp those hands,
That we may never part,
And let the power of their blood
Sustain my fainting heart.
2 Wide open are Thine arms,
A fallen world to embrace;
To take to love and endless rest
Our whole forsaken race.
Lord, I am sad and poor,
But boundless is Thy grace;
Give me the soul-transforming joy
For which I seek Thy face.
3 Draw all my mind and heart
Up to Thy throne on high,
And let Thy sacred Cross exalt
My spirit to the sky.
To these, Thy mighty hands,
My spirit I resign;
Living, I live alone to Thee,
Dying, alone am Thine.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SALVE JESU
Wide open are Thy hands
The time is drawing near
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #68 (1911) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics:
I
The time is drawing near,
It cannot tarry long,
When they who face the conflict here,
Shall join the glorious throng,
Where gladness fills each heart,
And honour crowns each brow;—
For tireless service fit me, Lord,
By willing service now.
II
Let no depressing thought
My brooding mind depress;
But let me hear, in winning tones,
What they who serve possess,
Where gladness fills each heart, etc.
III
Let sunshine flood the soul,
When threatening night descends,
That I may see the light serene
No sunset ever ends.
Where gladness fills each heart, etc.
IV
Let strength my spirit nerve,
That, with each labour done,
I may, like those who serve above,
See some new task begun;
Where gladness fills each heart, etc.
V
The time is drawing near,—
Till that bright morning break,
May I, with those who see Thy face,
Thy will, my pleasure make:
Where gladness fills each heart, etc.

This is my Father's world
This is my Father's world
Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: The Hymnal #70 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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:
The battle is not done;
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and heaven be one.
Amen. Topics: God the Father God in Nature; Courage and Loyalty; Creation, The; God Nature, His Glory in; God Presence, His Abiding; Joy; Loyalty and Courage; Nature Services; Trust and Confidence Tune Title: TERRA PATRIS
