Home is home, however lowly

Author: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #663 (1986) Person Name: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Lyrics: 1 Home is home, however lowly, Home is sweet when love is there, Home is home when hearts are holy, Earth has ne’er a spot so fair. Jesus makes our home a heaven, Sacred in the fireside warm; After battling through the long day, Home’s a shelter from the storm. 2 To a little home in Bethany Jesus loved to wend his way; Tender hearts were waiting for him In the evening of the day. Jesus there dispelled the sadness, There the humble meal he blessèd; There they worshipped him with gladness; There his sacred form would rest. 3 Let us make our home the threshold Of the city bright and fair, Each the other’s joy possessing, Each the other’s burden share. In the storm of deep affliction Let us seek the heavenly balm, In life’s tempest just remember Prayer will make the storm a calm. Topics: Means of grace Family worship - Home Languages: English

Tell it to the people you may meet, Tell it in the hall and in the street; Let this banner be unfurled: Christ for the whole wide world. 3 Tell it to the young and to the old, Tell them they may all be warriors bold, Tell them of the shepherd and the fold, Tell them of the heavenly harps of gold. Tell it with a clarion voice so clear, Let the story ring out far and near, Let this banner be unfurled: Christ for the whole wide world.

This is my Father's world

This is my Father’s world, I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father’s world, The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, Declare their maker’s praise. This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair; In the rustling grass, I hear him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father’s world; O let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father’s world; The battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and Heaven be one. Topics: God the Father Works Languages: English

Eternal God, our song we raise

Author: Catherine Baird (1896-1984) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #5 (1986) Person Name: Catherine Baird (1896-1984) Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, our song we raise In thankful, overflowing praise, For men of faith whose power was thine, Whose love no barrier could confine; They humbly offered Christ their bread, And lo, the multitudes were fed! 2 We thank thee for the fruitful years, The sacred gains of toil and tears, For mighty works through weakness wrought, For souls who led in deed and thought; They followed Jesus in the light And their loud anthems thrilled the night. 3 O may no longing of our own Obscure the path by Jesus shown! We would not thirst for earth’s reward And lose the blessing of our Lord: His cup of pain and grief and strife That yieldeth up the gift of life. 4 Our Father, we beseech thee now: Receive again our first pure vow To stand though fire and tempest rage, Nor fear the terrors of our age, To love thee with a constant mind And lose ourselves to save mankind. 5 Our great redeemer liveth still, His love sustains us in thy will; Because he conquered, we shall win, His cross before, his joy within; Our cheerful banners are unfurled, For Christ has overcome the world.
