Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee

Author: Robert Robinson; R. W. Dale Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:29 Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee, may a mortal sing thy name? Lord of earth as well as angels, thou art ev'ry creature’s theme; Lord of ev'ry land and nation, Ancient of Eternal Days, sounded through the wide creation be thy just and endless praise. 2 For the grandeur of your nature, grand beyond a seraph’s thought; for the wonders of creation, works with skill and kindness wrought; for thy providence that gtoverns through thine empire's wide domain, wings an angel, guides a sparrow: blessed by thy gentle reign. 4 But thy rich, thy free redemption, dark through brightness all along; thought is poor, and poor expression: who dare sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father’s glory, shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence; sing the Lord who came to die. 4 From the highest throne of glory to the cross of deepest woe, all to ransom guilty captives! Flow my praise, forever flow Go, return, immortal Savior; leave thy footstool, claim thy throne; thence return, and reign forever; be the kingdom all thine own! Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON

Author: W. Crosswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure, And let our treasures still be spent, Like his, upon the poor. 2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their gloomy loneliness, Would see the desolate. 3 For thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill; And that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Small are the offerings we can make; Yet thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward.

As we his people, Meet to offer praise and prayer, May we find in fuller measure What it is in Christ we share: Here, as in the world around us, All our varied skills and arts Wait the coming of his Spirit Into open minds and hearts. 2 Here are symbols to remind us Of our lifelong need of grace; Here are table, font and pulpit, Here the cross has central place: Here in honesty of preaching, Here in silence as in speech, Here in newness and renewal God the Spirit comes to each. 3 Here our children find a welcome In the Shepherd's flock and fold; Here, as bread and wine are taken, Christ sustains us as of old: Here the servants of the Servant Seek in worship to explore What it means in daily living To believe and to adore. 4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom, In an age of change and doubt, Keep us faithful to the gospel, Help us work your purpose out: Here, in this day's dedication, All we have to give, receive; We who cannot live without you, We adore you! We believe!

Hymn 36

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:16 First Line: O 'tis a lovely thing to see Lyrics: O 'tis a lovely thing to see A man of prudent heart, Whose thoughts, and lips, and life agree To act a useful part. When envy, strife, and wars begin In little angry souls, Mark how the sons of peace come in, And quench the kindling coals. Their minds are humble, mild, and meek, Nor let their fury rise; Nor passion moves their lips to speak, Nor pride exalts their eyes. Their frame is prudence mixed with love, Good works fulfil their day; They join the serpent with the dove, But cast the sting away. Such was the Savior of mankind, Such pleasures he pursued; His flesh and blood were all refined, His soul divinely good. Lord, can these plants of virtue grow In such a heart as mine? Thy grace my nature can renew, And make my soul like thine.
