Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #742 (1873) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
The closing buds on Zion's hill,
When evening clouds draw thither;
So sweet, so heavenly 'tis to see
The members of one family
Live peacefully together!
2 The children, like the lily flowers
On which descend the sun and showers,
Their hues of beauty blending;
The parents, like the willow boughs
On which the lovely foliage grows,
Their friendly shade extending.
3 But leaves the greenest will decay,
And flowers the brightest fade away,
When autumn winds are sweeping;
And be the household e'er so fair,
The hand of death will soon be there,
And turn the scene to weeping.
4 Yet leaves again will clothe the trees,
And lilies wave beneath the breeze,
When spring comes smiling hither;
And friends, who parted at the tomb,
May yet renew their loveliest bloom,
And meet in heaven together.
Oh! sweet as vernal dews that fill
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: RitualSong #742 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Pastoral Care of the Sick Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
In the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Mark 6:30-34 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Children, hear the melting story
Author: Union Minstrel Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #743 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Children, hear the melting story
Of the Lamb that once was slain;
'Tis the Lord of life and glory:
Shall he plead with you in vain?
Oh, receive him,
And salvation now obtain.
2 Yield no more to sin and folly,
So displeasing in his sight;
Jesus loves the pure and holy;
They alone are his delight:
Seek his favor,
And your hearts to him unite.
3 All your sins to him confessing,
Who is ready to forgive;
Seek the Saviour's richest blessing,
On his precious name believe:
He is waiting,
Will you not his grace receive?
Children, hear the melting story
Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray
Author: Hyde Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #744 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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
O Lord, behold us at thy feet
Author: Mrs. T. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #745 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 O Lord, behold us at thy feet,
A small paternal band;
As suppliants 'round thy mercy-seat,
We come at thy command.
2 'Tis for our children we would plead,
The offspring thou hast given;
Where shall we go, in time of need,
But to the God of heaven?
3 We ask not for them wealth and fame,
Amid the worldly strife;
But in thy all-prevailing name
We ask eternal life.
4 We seek the Spirit's quick'ning grace,
To make them pure in heart,
That they may stand before thy face,
And see thee as thou art.
O Lord, behold us at thy feet

Let children that would fear the Lord
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #747 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Parental Care Lyrics: 1 Let children that would fear the Lord,
Hear what their teachers say;
With reverence meet their parents' word,
And with delight obey.
2 Judgments that fill the soul with awe
Are written by the Lord,
For him that breaks his father's law,
Or mocks his mother's word.
3 But those who worship God, and give
Their parents honor due,
The blessings of this life receive,
And life hereafter, too.
Let children that would fear the Lord
