O Savior, who in love didst take

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Savior, who in love didst take A human body, for our sake; To share with us the griefs of life, Its watchings, weariness, and strife: All that belong to man but sin, Thou didst this day Thyself begin. 2 Savior of infants, Thou didst rest, Helpless, upon Thy mother's breast; Savior of children, Thu didst play, And grow beside her, day by day. All human life to soothe and save, Up from the cradle to the grave. 3 Savior, as low as Thou didst bend From heaven to be the sinners' friend, So high our nature lift with Thine, Till human things become divine. And Thy eternal love once more God's image to the soul restore. 4 And when we cling too close to earth, Forgetful of our heavenly birth, And for the love of its poor dross, Despise Thy crown or shun Thy cross. O let this festal day reprove Such wrong to Thine incarnate love.

God of our fathers, known of old

Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865 - 1936 Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine; Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget! 2 The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget! A-men. 3 Far called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire: Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget! 4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not thee in awe, Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the law-- Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget--lest we forget! 5 For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard, All valiant dust that builds on dust, And, guarding, calls not thee to guard, For frantic boast and foolish word-- Thy mercy on thy people, Lord! Amen. Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Used With Tune: ST. MATTHIAS

My God, I know that I must die

Author: B. Schmolck Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour, How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower. Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death has many ways to come, In dark mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love. Then comes it right and well to me When, where, and how my death shall be.
