Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John G. Whittier; John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: HOoS1937 #331 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our fev'rish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives Thy service find, In deeper rev'rence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word Rise up and follow Thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love! 4 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak thro' the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. Amen.

Children of the Heavenly King

Author: John Cennick Hymnal: HOoS1937 #332 (1937) First Line: Children of the heav'nly King Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways! 2 Ye are traveling home to God In the way our fathers trod; They are happy now, and ye Soon their happiness shall see. 3 O ye banished seed, be glad; Christ our Advocate is made; Us to save, our flesh assumes, Brother to our souls becomes. 4 Sing, ye little flock and blest; You on Jesus' throne shall rest; There your seat is now prepared, There your kingdom and reward. 5 Lord, obediently we go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our Leader be, And we still will follow Thee. Amen.

O Worship the King, All-glorious Above

Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: HOoS1937 #333 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, and sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old; Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast like a mantle the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble its lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise. Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me

Author: Edward Hopper Hymnal: HOoS1937 #340 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal; Chart and compass came from Thee: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou say'st to them, "Be still." Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee." Amen.
