I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander; St. Patrick Meter: Irregular Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: God The Triune God; Bible; Commitment; Consecration; Conversion; Covenant; Discipleship and Service; Faith; God Name; Guidance; Heaven(s)/Paradise; Jesus Christ Baptism; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Presence; Love for God/Christ; Nature; Trinity; Trust; Venture Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his cross of death for my salvation,
his bursting from the spicèd tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord! Used With Tune: ST PATRICK

Their soundless music sings.

The heavens burn and blaze,
The rising sun renews the race
That measures all our days,
And writes in fire across the skies
God's majesty and praise.
3 So shine the Lord's commandments
To make the simple wise,
More sweet than honey to the taste,
More rich than any prize,
A law of love within our hearts,
A light before our eyes.
4 So order too this life of mine,
Direct it all my days,
The meditations of my heart
Be innocence and praise,
My Rock, and my redeeming Lord,
In all my words and ways. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: ALDINE

who doth still my trust renew:
I through change and chance am guided,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
God alone
calls my heart eternally home.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown, betray our trust;
what with care and toil is built up,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 Daily doth the almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow.
God's desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
hand in hand;
joy doth wait on God's command.
4 God's great goodness eye endureth,
deepest wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attending,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
from God's store
new-born worlds rise and adore. Used With Tune: MICHAEL

Sweet hope and consolation,
Our shield from foes, our balm for woes,
Our great and sure salvation.

And worldly scorn assail us,
While you are near, we shall not fear;
Your strength shall never fail us.
Your rod and staff will keep us safe
And guide our steps forever;
Nor shades of death nor hell beneath,
Our lives from you will sever.
3 In all the strife of mortal life
Our feet will stand securely;
Temptation's hour shall lose its pow'r,
For you will guard us surely.
Our God, renew with heav'nly dew
Our body, soul, and spirit,
Until we stand at your right hand
Through Jesus' saving merit. Used With Tune: WAS MEIN GOTT WILL Text Sources: Harmonia cantionum, Leipzig, 1597, sts. 2-3

for all the earth shall know the Lord. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM
