I Am a Child of God
Author: Mary Jackson Cathey Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me Lyrics: I am a child of God, the One who made and keeps me.
By God's free gift of love, God's child I always will be.
Forever I belong, I know that this is true;
and with my mind and heart, I trust and love God, too.
God's image is in us, the people of creation.
No matter where we live, we share a close relation.
God's covenant is sure, eternal word for all
who follow in God's way and answer to God's call.
God never turns from us, not even in our sinning.
God loves and waits for us to claim a new beginning.
By opening our hearts, we then prepare the way
for God's love to come in and guide us every day.
I thank God for that love and all the world around me,
the seen and unseen things, and promised things that will be.
Through worship, trust, and prayer, may I reflect God's will.
Let love be seen in me as I God's word fulfill.
I Am a Child of God
Thou Lord of Life and Death
Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of life and death,
Blest Son of God the Father,
Jesus, in humble faith
Before Thy throne we gather;
Thy Spirit bids us come
In fervant prayer to Thee,
O bless Thy Christendom
Now and eternally.
2 Thou speakest but a word,
And lo! the dead awaken.
Why should we sorrow, Lord,
When those we love are taken
From this drear vale of tears
To realms of bliss above?
Hush Thou our griefs and fears,
Thou Fount of boundless love.
3 When judgment trumpets wake
All who in death are sleeping,
To Salem's mansions take
The saved in Thy love's keeping.
When at Thy blest "Arise!"
We greet Thee, risen King,
The realms beyond the skies
With endless praise shall ring.

O Lord, We Welcome Thee
Author: Caspar Ziegler Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we welcome Thee,
Our hearts for joy are leaping.
Thou, Jesus, dearest Child,
Thy precious promise keeping,
Art come from heav'n to earth
To be our Brother dear;
Thou, gracious Son of God,
Wilt banish all our fear.

His majesty concealing,
Dwells with our fallen race
To give us balm and healing.

Descends from realms above,
Becomes a winsome Child,
Reveals His Father's love.

It echoes far are sounding,
It pierces hearts of stone
And tells of love abounding.
O Jesus, dearest Child,
On Thee will we rely,
And, calling on Thy name,
We die not when we die.
4 To Thee alone we cling,
For Thee all else forsaking;
On Thee alone we build
Tho' heav'n and earth be quaking.
To Thee alone we live,
In Thee alone we die;
O Jesus, dearest Lord,
With Thee we reign on high.

For all your loving-kindness,
That you have patiently
Borne with me in my blindness!
When dead in many sins
And trespasses I lay,
I kindled, holy God,
Your anger ev'ry day.
2 It is your work alone
That I am now converted;
O'er Satan's work in me
You have your pow'r asserted.
Your mercy and your grace
That rise afresh each morn
Have turned my stony heart
Into a heart new-born.
3 Lord, you have raised me up
To joy and exultation
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.
My sins are washed away;
For this I thank you, Lord.
Now with my heart and soul
All evil I abhor.
4 Grant that your Spirit's help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven.
Grant that he give me strength
In my infirmity;
May he renew my heart
To serve you willingly.
5 O Father, God of love,
Now hear my supplication;
O Savior, Son of God,
Accept my adoration;
O Holy Spirit, be
My ever faithful guide
That I may serve you here
And there with you abide. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT (II)
How Can I Thank You, Lord
I Know in Whom I Trust
Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust
When guilt of sin oppresses,
When anguish and remorse
My burdened soul distresses;
I come before Thy throne,
O God, in Jesus' Name;
Thy mercy, love, and truth
Forever are the same.
2 I know in Whom I trust
When, troubled and dejected,
I lack the strength to go
The way of God selected'
To Jesus then I pray
With a repentant mind,
And strength of holiness
I through His Spirit find.
3 I know in Whom I trust
When worldly pomp and splendor
Would lure my heart away,
For He is my Defender.
I hear His warning voice,
I feel His loving hand;
Temptations and deceits
With Him I thus withstand.
4 I know in Whom I trust
When peace and joy forsake me,
When fain my heart would break,
And sorrows overtake me.
The suffering of my Lord,
His anguish, pain, and woe
Remind me of the way
We after Him must go.
5 I know in Whom I trust
When evening shadows lengthen,
When death stands at the door,--
For Christ is there to strengthen.
He died upon the cross
To conquer death and hell;
A Conqueror He rose,
And all with us is well.
6 I know in Whom I trust;
I praise Him and adore Him;
By works I show my faith;
My heart I lay before Him;
Not only crying, "Lord!"
I take Him as my Guide,
And thus in life and death
In Him alone abide.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Names and Office of Christ Conqueror; Names and Office of Christ Defender; Names and Office of Christ Guide Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Used With Tune: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU
