O holy city, seen of John
Father, I Know That All My Life
Author: Anna Waring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1476 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me,
And the changes that are sure to come
I do not fear to see;
But I ask Thee for a present mind
Intent on pleasing Thee.
2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,
Through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And to wipe the weeping eyes;
And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.
3. I would not have the restless will
That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do
Or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.
4. Wherever in the world I am,
In whatsoe’er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts
To keep and cultivate;
And a work of lowly love to do
For the Lord on whom I wait.
5. So I ask Thee for daily strength,
To none that ask denied,
And a mind to blend with outward life
While keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space,
If Thou be glorified.
6. And if some things I do not ask
In my cup of blessing be,
I would have my spirit filled the more
With grateful love to Thee,
More careful, not to serve Thee much,
But to please Thee perfectly.
7. There are briers besetting every path
That call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot,
And an earnest need for prayer;
But a lowly heart that leans on Thee
Is happy anywhere.
8. In a service which Thy will appoints
There are no bonds for me;
For my inmost heart is taught the truth
That makes Thy children free.
And a life of self renouncing love
Is a life of liberty. Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM
Father, I Know That All My Life
O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter R. Bowie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4979 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose foursquare walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again.
2. Hark, how from men whose lives are held
More cheap than merchandise,
From women struggling sore for bread,
From little children’s cries,
There swells the sobbing human plaint
That bids thy walls arise.
3. O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry Christ hath died in vain!
4. Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose crown is servanthood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5. Already in the mind of God
That city riseth fair:
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare;
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there. Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM
O Holy City, Seen of John
All Hail, Thou Night, Than Day More Bright
Author: Marc Antoine Muretus; William J. Blew Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10698 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 All hail, thou night, than day more bright,
Through whose mysterious shade,
In wondrous birth, arose on earth,
From bosom of pure maid,
The Sun new-born, a Star of morn,
Filling all the world with light!
2 He who alone, from Heaven’s high throne,
Rules all, and doth restore
To God’s embrace man’s fallen race,
Lies on a cottage floor,
Like Him that we, save poverty,
Have naught to call our own.
3 While o’er their sheep close watch they keep,
Those shepherds first receive
The heav’nly call, that doth to all
Great joy and gladness give—
The call from Heav’n to watchmen giv’n
That wake and never sleep.

Father, I Know That All My Life
Obey the Master
Author: Clifford A. Cole Hymnal: Children's Hymnal #114 (1957) First Line: By Galilee of long ago Lyrics: 1 By Galilee of long ago
The Master walked on day,
He called to men whose hearts were brave
To follow in his way.
They answered firm with loyal pledge,
"Yes, Lord, we will obey."
2 Jesus still calls to us today,
He asks for faithful hands
That in his service will obey,
And follow God's commands.
Let strong souls answer as did they
On Galilean sands.
3 I hear his call within my heart,
I'm glad he's chosen me
To walk with him and share his work
As did those by the sea;
I'll join with all who, loving him,
Would kigndom builders be.

Our Hymn Of Thanks We Sing Today
Author: Solomon S. Allsop Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9106 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our hymn of thanks we sing today;
Our hearts and voices raise,
To Him who, with a Father’s love,
Has guided all our ways:
The mercies of another year
Demand our grateful praise.
2 Jesus, accept the thanks we bring,
Unworthy though they be;
Thou didst of old let children sing
Hosannas unto Thee.
We too present our offering,
And join their harmony.
3 Throughout the year we have been blest
With lessons from Thy word,
From teachers dear, who never tire
In working for their Lord,
Our minds to train, our souls to win:
O give them their reward.
4 May we still love the Sunday School;
Still love Thy word and ways;
And wise unto salvation grow,
In these our youthful days;
Then join the blessèd band above,
Who ever sing Thy praise.
5 Lord, smile upon the friends who come
To aid this work of love;
Their offerings graciously accept;
Thy blessing may they prove
A hundred fold—and may we meet
Teachers and friends above. Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELHAM
