O may Thy Word
Author: V. E. Marsh Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #149 (1891) Topics: Holy Word of God First Line: O may Thy word, my God Lyrics: 1 O may Thy word, my God,
A light before me shine,
To guide my feet upon thy way
To that blest house of Thine.
O may Thy word, my God,
My guide and counsel be,
When trials and temptations come,
To turn my thoughts to Thee.
2 O may Thy word, my God,
My comfort be, and cheer,
When friends are false, or death shall take
From me the loved and dear.
O may Thy word, my God,
Like lighthouse on the sea,
Show where the cruel breakers,
And make a path to Thee.
3 O may Thy word, my God,
Beam like the gentle moon
Upon my eyes that waiting look,
While shadows round me loom.
O may Thy word, my God,
So full of truth and love,
Teach every heart to worship Thee,
And look in trust above. Languages: English Tune Title: [O may Thy word, my God]

life that in all now abides. [Refrain]

God Who Spoke in the Beginning
Author: Fred H. Kaan Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #277 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Word of God; Word of God Lyrics: 1 God who spoke in the beginning,
forming rock and shaping spar,
set all life and growth in motion,
earthly world and distant star;
he who calls the earth to order
is the ground of what we are.
2 God who spoke through people, nations,
through events long past and gone,
showing still today his purpose,
speaks supremely through his Son;
he who calls the earth to order
gives his word, and it is done.
3 God whose speech becomes incarnate
Christ is servant, Christ is Lord!
calls us to a life of service,
heart and will to action stirred;
he who uses our obedience
has the first and final word.

I may serve and follow you.
Let your Word e'er be my pleasure
And my heart's most precious treasure.

And to listen to your voice!

Let your Word still be my choice.

Flee in terror at your Word,
But to all who feel sin's burden
You give peace and words of pardon.

Where I quench my thirsty needs.
Lord, your words are bread life-giving;
On your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, your words will be my light
Through death's cold and dreary night;
Yes, they are my sword prevailing
And my cup of joy unfailing.
4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;
Let your words in me take root.
May your Spirit e'er be near me
That I bear abundant fruit.
May I daily sing your praise,
From my heart glad anthems raise,
Till my highest praise is given
In the endless joy of heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER

Put your whole confidence in me;

But call on me in troubled days;
Give me your thanks, prayers, and praise."

But hold it sacred, precious, true,
And hear that truth preached to you."

Be dutiful and loving, too,
And help them when their pow'rs are few;
So shall it go well with you."

Your anger dare not dominate.
Be kind and patient; help, defend,
And treat your foe as your friend."

But keep your body free from sin
With self-control, discipline."

But open wide a gen'rous hand
And help the poor in the land."

Your neighbor and destroy his name,
But view him in the kindest way;
Speak truth in all that you say."

Nor covet money, goods, or spouse.
Pray God he would your neighbor bless
As you yourself wish success."

And help you rightly to perceive
How unto God you should live.

They merit only endless pain.
Forgive us, Lord! To Christ we fly,
Our mediator on high.

By inspiration of the Lord,
And, though assailed on ev'ry hand,
Jehovah's Word shall ever stand.

By pagan pride rejected, spurned,
The Word still stands, the Christian's trust,
While haughty empires lie in dust.

Of future days and deeds foretold
Is all fulfilled while ages roll,
As traced on the prophetic scroll.

The teachings of the Word endure.
Blest all who trust this steadfast Word;
Their anchor holds in Christ, the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: WO GOTT ZUM HAUS
