Author: Patrick; Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 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 death on cross for my salvation, his bursting from the spiced 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 starlit 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, God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay, God’s ear to hearken to my need, the wisdom of my God to teach, God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward, the word of God to give me speech, God’s heavenly host to be my guard. 5 Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 6 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!

Hymn of Promise

Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:3 First Line: In the bulb there is a flower Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 2 There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; there's a dawn in every darkness bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 3 In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity; in our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Almighty Father of all things that be

Author: Ernest Edward Dugmore (1843-1925) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:1 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father of all things that be, our life, our work we consecrate to thee, whose heavens declare thy glory from above, whose earth below is witness to thy love. 2 For well we know this weary, fallen earth is yet thine own by right of its new birth, since that great cross upreared on Calvary redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee. 3 Thine still the changeful beauty of the hills, the purple valleys flecked with silver rills, the ocean glistening 'neath the golden rays: they all are thine, and voiceless speak thy praise. 4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart; from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art, the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand to teach the loveliness of sea and land. 5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own, to dwell within the shadow of thy throne, to speak and work, to think and live, and move, reflecting thine own nature, which is love: 6 That so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame, and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame, ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be a sacrifice acceptable to thee.

How Blest the Man

Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: How blest the man that doth not stray Lyrics: 1 How blest the man that doth not stray Where wicked counsel tempts his feet; Who stands not in the sinner’s way, And sits not in the scorner’s seat, But in God’s law he takes delight, And meditates both day and night. 2 He shall be like the tree that springs Where streams of water gently glide; Which plenteous fruit in season brings, And ever green its leaves abide; Thus shall prosperity attend The good man’s work till life shall end. 3 Not so ungodly men, for they Like chaff before the wind are driven; Hence they’ll not stand in judgment day, Nor mingle with the saints in heav’n; The Lord approves the good man’s path, But sinner’s ways shall end in wrath.
