Make Thou of me Thy loving child,
Thy blessed name revering!

Constraining love and holy fire,
That it for Thee be burning!
Oh, clear mine eyes to see Thy light
That shineth with a glory bright,
For which my soul is yearning.

That moves Thy children to rejoice
And gives them joy for sadness.

Despite the world and sorrow deep,
And taste Thy lasting gladness. Topics: Confirmation Used With Tune: [O Jesus dear! O Savior mild]

To Thee, O Jesus, Thanks Are Due
Author: V. Hjort Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Jesus, thanks are due:
A mother dear, a father true,
Thou unto me hast given.
I learned from them the Word of life
That saves the soul from sin and strife
And shows the way to heaven.
2 Let loving kindness be their meed
And let Thy hand supply their need
And fill their hearts with gladness.
Be Thou their comfort, strength, and stay
When their declining years dismay
And bring them pain and sadness.
3 In Thy pavilion hide them, Lord,
And unto them Thy grace accord,
With joy and peace surround them,
Until from me Thou callest them
Up to the new Jerusalem,
With glorious life to crown them. Topics: Sunday School Hymns Prayer Used With Tune: [To Thee, O Jesus, thanks are due]

Fiesta de la primavera
When no eye its pity gave us
Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When no eye its pity gave us,
When there was no arm to save us,
Christ His love and power displayed;
By His stripes He wrought our healing,
By His death, our life revealing,
He for us the ransom paid.
2 Jesus, may Thy love constrain us,
That from sin we may refrain us,
In Thy griefs may deeply grieve;
Thee our best affections giving,
To Thy glory ever living,
May we in Thy glory live. Topics: TheChurch Year The Passion; Christ Love of Used With Tune: ON THE CROSS THE DYING SAVIOUR

Go Forth, My Heart, And Seek Delight
Author: Marg. Muensterberg; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go forth, my heart, and seek delight,
While summer reigns so fair and bright,
View God's abundance daily;
The beauty of these gardens see,
Behold how they for me and thee
Have decked themselves so gaily.
2 The trees with spreading leaves are blessed,
The earth her dusty rind has dressed
In green so young and tender.
Narcissus and the tulip fair
Are clothed in raiment far more rare
Than Solomon in splendor.
3 The lark soars upward to the skies,
And from her cote the pigeon flies,
Her way to woodlands winging.
The silver-throated nightingale
Fills mountain, meadow, hill and dale
With her delightful singing.
4 Fast grows the wheat, like waving gold,
And gives delight to young and old;
All nature with thanksgiving
Lauds Him whose mercy measureless
Vouchsafed the soul of man to bless
With goods that grace his living.
5 Thy splendor, Lord, doth brightly shine
And fills my heart with joy divine
While here on earth abiding;
What, then, may be in store for me
And all who heaven's glory see,
In golden halls residing?
5 O choose me for Thy paradise,
Let soul and body till I rise
Still flourish, tiring never.
With Thee alone will I abide,
Thine honor serve, and none beside,
Both here and there forever. Topics: Meditation Used With Tune: ALTENBURG
Go Forth, My Heart, And Seek Delight
Summer Song
Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Go forth, my heart, and seek delight In this summer time so bright Lyrics:
Go forth, my heart, and seek delight
In this summer time so bright,
The bounties God displayeth,
The garden’s splendour go and see,
Behold how God for me and thee
Them gorgeously arrayeth.
The trees with leaves are cover’d o’er,
The earth with carpet spreads her floor
Of green, all fresh and tender,
The tulip and narcissus wear
Attire of finer texture fair
Than Solomon in splendour.
The lark aspiring soars on high,
Flies from her cleft the dove so shy,
And seeks the woodland shadow;
The nightingale with song so rare
Delights and fills the ev’ning air
O’er mountain, vale, and meadow.
Leads forth her little brood the hen,
The stork builds near the haunts of men,
And feed their young the swallows;
The stag so swift, the roe so light
Of foot, come bounding from the height
Into the grassy hollows.
The brooklets murmur in the sand,
And fringe the edge on either hand
With myrtle rich in shadow;
The shepherds and the sheep rejoice,
In joy and mirth you hear their voice
Sound from the neighb’ring meadow.
The bee through all the live-long hours,
Unwearied roams among the flow’rs,
Its precious stores to gather;
The strong juice of the vine each hour
Is ever gaining strength and pow’r
This glorious summer weather.
While springeth fast the precious grain,
The young and old exult again,
Praise Him with all their powers,
Whose benefits unceasing are,
With gifts so manifold and rare
Who human nature dowers.
I cannot rest, I never dare,
In my Creator’s gracious care
My inmost soul rejoices,
To God most High, when all things raise
A song of universal praise,
My voice shall join their voices.
Methinks it is so pleasant here,
All things so beautiful appear
In this our poor world even;
What will it be when earth we leave,
And at its golden gates receive
Glad welcome into Heaven?
What purest light, what ecstasy,
Will in the Saviour’s garden be!
How will it sound when ’fore Thee,
All with united heart and voice,
Ten thousand seraphins rejoice
And rev’rently adore Thee.
Ah! blessèd God, oh! were I there
Before Thy throne, and did I bear
My branch of palm victorious,
As angels do, my voice I’d raise
Thine ever blessèd name to praise,
In songs of triumph glorious.
But though I still am dwelling here,
And still the body’s burden bear,
Can I be silent?—Never!
My heart, no matter where I be,
Or here or there, shall bend to Thee,
In adoration ever.
Help! Lord, my soul with blessings crown,
With blessings that from Heav’n flow down,
That I may blossom ever!
And may the summer of Thy grace
Cause fruits of faith to grow apace,
Fruits that shall wither never.
And may Thy Spirit dwell in me,
May I a good branch ever be
Ingrafted in the Saviour!
In Thine own garden may I be
To Thy name’s praise a goodly tree,
Implanted by Thy favour!
Grant me Thy paradise to share,
And more fruit may I ever bear
While I am going thither.
Thine honour, Lord, to me is dear,
Thee and Thee only shall I here
And yonder serve for ever.
