Author: Catherine Winkworth; Valerius Herberger Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Farewell I gladly bid thee, False, evil world, farewell. Thy life is vain and sinful, With thee I would not dwell. I long to be in heaven, In that untroubled sphere Where they will be rewarded Who served their God while here. 2 By Thy good counsel lead me, O Son of God, my Stay; In each perplexing trial Help me, O Lord, I pray. Mine hour of sorrow shorten, Support my fainting heart, From ev'ry cross deliver, The crown of life impart. 3 When darkness round me gathers, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling Like stars in blackest night. O heart, this image cherish: The Christ on Calvary, How patiently He suffered And shed His blood for me! 4 Lord, hide my soul securely Deep in Thy wounded side; From every danger shield me And to Thy glory guide. He has been truly blessèd Who reaches heaven above; He has found perfect healing Who rests upon Thy love. 5 Lord, write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the Book of Life, And with all true believers Take me where joys are rife. There let me bloom and flourish, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love. Amen.

O Father, You Are Sovereign

Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Father, you are sovereign in all the worlds you made; your mighty word was spoken and light and life obeyed. Your voice commands the seasons and bounds the ocean’s shore, sets stars within their courses and stills the tempests’ roar. 2 O Father, you are sovereign in all affairs of man; no pow'rs of death or darkness can thwart Your perfect plan. All chance and change transcending, supreme in time and space, you hold your trusting children secure in your embrace. 3 O Father, you are sovereign the Lord of human pain, transmuting earthly sorrows to gold of heav'nly gain. All evil over-ruling, as none but Conqu'ror could, your love pursues its purpose — our souls’ eternal good. 4 O Father, you are sovereign! We see you dimly now, but soon before your triumph earth’s every knee shall bow. With this glad hope before us our faith springs up anew: our sovereign Lord and Savior, we trust and worship you!

Author: Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your heart, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, The Lord, the Christ, is born, Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; Oh lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 O hearken to their singing! This Child shall be your Friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies, He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. Amen.

Forgive Them, O My Father

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Forgive them, O my Father, They know not what they do. The Savior spoke in anguish, As sharp iron nails went through. No word of anger spoke He To them that shed His blood, But prayer and tenderest pity Large as the love of God. 2. For me was that compassion, For me that tender care; I need His wide forgiveness As much as any there. It was my pride and hardness That hung Him on the tree; Those cruel nails, O Savior, Were driven in by me. 3. And often I have slighted Thy gentle voice that said: Forgive me too, Lord Jesus, I knew not what I did. O depth of sweet compassion! O love divine and true! Save Thou the souls that slight Thee, And know not what they do. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1875, alt.
