Sing to the Lord the children's hymn
Author: Robert Stephen Hawker, 1804 - 75 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord the children’s hymn,
His gentle love declare,
Who bends amid the seraphim
To hear the children’s prayer.
2 He at a mother’s breast was fed,
Though God’s own Son was he;
He learnt the first small words he said
At a meek mother’s knee. A-men.
3 He held us to his mighty breast,
The children of the earth;
He lifted up his hands and blessed
The babes of human birth.
4 Lo! from the stars his face will turn
On us with glances mild;
The angels of His presence yearn
To bless the little child.
5 Keep us, O Jesus Lord, for thee,
That so by thy dear grace
We, children of the font, may see
Our heavenly Father’s face.
Amen. Topics: Holy Baptism; Church Life and Work Home and Family Used With Tune: ST. HUGH
Sing to the Lord the children's hymn
How marvellous God's greatness
Author: Charles Venn Pilcher; Valdimar Briem, 1848-1930 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How marvellous God's greatness,
How glorious his might
To this the wor'd bears witness
In wonders day and night.
In form of flower and snowflake,
In morn's resplendent birth,
In afterglow at even,
In sky and sea and earth.
2 Each tiny floweret whispers
The great Life-giver's Name;
The mighty mountain masses
His majesty proclaim;
The hollow vales are hymning
God's shelter for his own;
The snow-capped peaks are pointing
To God's almighty throne.
3 The ocean's vast abysses
In one grand psalm record
The deep mysterious counsels
And mercies of the Lord;
The icy waves of winter
Are thundering on the strand;
E'en grief's chill stream is guided
By God's all-gracious hand.
4 The starry hosts are singing
Through all the light-strewn sky
Of God's majestic temple
And palace-courts on high;
When in these outer chambers,
Such glory gilds the night,
What the transcendent brightness
Of God's eternal light! Topics: Rogationtide; The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Used With Tune: BLOMSTERTID

The sheep of his pasture we evermore shall be;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
3 O enter his gates with thanksgiving and praise;
Glory be to God!
To honor his Name gladsome voices we will raise;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!
4 For good is the Lord, and his mercy is sure;
Glory be to God!
To all generations his truth shall e'er endure;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

Come, O come, thou quickening Spirit
To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837 - 98 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
In hymns of adoration,
To thee bring sacrifice of praise
With shouts of exultation.
Bright robes of gold the fields adorn,
The hills with joy are ringing,
The valleys stand so thick with corn
That even they are singing.
2 And now, on this our festal day,
Thy bounteous hand confessing,
Upon thine altar, Lord, we lay
The first-fruits of thy blessing.
By thee the souls of men are fed
With gifts of grace supernal;
Thou, who dost give us daily bread,
Give us the bread eternal.
3 We bear the burden of the day,
And often toil seems dreary;
But labor ends with sunset ray,
And rest is for the weary.
May we, the angel-reaping o'er,
Stand at the last accepted,
Christ's golden sheaves, for evermore
To garners bright elected.
4 O blessèd is that land of God
Where saints abide for ever,
Where golden fields spread fair and broad,
Where flows the crystal river.
The strains of all its holy throng
With ours today are blending;
Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song
Which never hath an ending.
