Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray
Author: Hyde Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray
Beyond thy blest enclosure's bound;
And, lured by worldly joys away,
Among the thoughtless crowd be found;
2 Remember, still, that they are thine,
And that thy sacred name they bear;
The precious seal of love divine,
The sign of cov'nant grace they wear.
3 In all their wand'rings, hopes, and fears,
Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be;
Remember all the prayers and tears
Which made them consecrate to thee.
4 And when these lips no more can pray,
These eyes can weep for them no more,
Still turn their feet from folly's way;
The wand'rers to thy fold restore. Scripture: Ezra 8:2
Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray
Awake, our souls, away, our fears
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 405 hymnals Topics: King is the care of Heaven Lyrics:
Awake, our souls; away, our fears,
Let every trembling thought begone;
Awake, and run the heav'nly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
That feeds the strength of every saint.
Thee, mighty God! whose matchless power
Is ever new and ever young,
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heav'nly road.
Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31
Awake, our souls, away, our fears
Now to the Lord, that makes us know
Appears in 159 hymnals Topics: Christ His Care for the Church, seeking and finding Lyrics: 1 Now to the Lord, that makes us know
The Wonders of his dying Love,
Be humble Honours paid below,
And Strains of nobler Praise above.
2 'Twas he that cleans'd our foulest Sins,
And wash'd us in his richest Blood;
'Tis he that makes us Priests and Kings,
And brings us, Rebels, near to God.
3 To Jesus, our Atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our Superior King,
Be everlasting Pow'r confess'd,
And ev'ry Tongue his Glory sing.
4 Behold, on flying Clouds he comes,
And ev'ry Eye shall see him move;
Though with our Sins we pierc'd Him once;
Then he displays his pard'ning Love.
5 The unbelieving World shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the Day,
Come, Lord; nor let thy Promise fail,
Nor let thy Chariots long delay.
Scripture: Revelation 1:5-7
Now to the Lord, that makes us know
With Joy we meditate the Grace
Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Christ His Care of the young and feelbe Lyrics: 1 With Joy we meditate the Grace
Of our High-Priest above,
His Heart is made of Tenderness,
His Bowels melt with Love.
2 Touch'd with a Sympathy within,
He knows our feeble Frame;
He knows what sore Temptations mean,
For he hath felt the same.
3 But spotless, innocent and pure,
The great Redeemer stood,
While Satan's fiery Darts he bore,
And did resist to Blood.
4 He in the Days of feeble Flesh
Pour'd out his Cries and Tears,
And in his Measure feels afresh
What ev'ry Member bears.
5 He'll never quench the smoaking Flax,
But raise it to a Flame;
The bruised Reed he never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest Name.
6 Then let our humble Faith address
His Mercy and his Pow'r;
We shall obtain deliv'ring Grace
In the distressing Hour.
Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16
With Joy we meditate the Grace

your greatness is beyond our thought;
all generations shall tell forth
the mighty wonders you have wrought.
2 How rich in grace are you, O Lord,
full of compassion, merciful,

your creatures know your constant care.
To all your works your love extends;
all souls your tender mercies share.

your saints your mighty acts will show,
till all the peoples of the earth
your kingdom, power, glory know.

your high dominion will endure. Scripture: Psalm 145 Used With Tune: JERUSALEM Text Sources: The New Metrical Version of the Psalms, 1909, alt.

Not Only Acts of Evil Will
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: God's Care Lyrics: 1 Not only acts of evil will,
But bland routine and good intent,
Can hurt and harass, starve and kill
The outcast and the innocent.
In such a world, and in God's name,
We seek a gospel to proclaim.
2 Our normal, ordinary ways
Of doing business, getting more,
Entrap the poorest in a maze
Of hunger, debt, disease, and war.
In Christ we would make good our claim,
And find a gospel to proclaim.
3 The heart that's given to the Lord
Will pray and work to understand
The ills that sabotage the good
In trade and credit, wealth and land,
And will not turn aside its aim,
A smaller gospel to proclaim.
4 The beauty, bondage, joy and fear
of every billionth being born
are always in God’s eye and ear,
as near as breath, as sharp as thorn,
and we are born again to share
that fierce, impassioned, healing care.
5 And so, in Christ, we drink our fill
of daring, deep, determined love,
and practice to unite the skill
of wily snake and peaceful dove,
as, loving earth in Jesus’ name,
we live the gospel we proclaim. Used With Tune: VATER UNSER
