O Christian Home
Author: Joshua F. Drake Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Christian home, you humble place Lyrics: 1. O Christian home, you humble place,
Where God’s own kingdom grows, by grace,
With Christ himself as head—
In you live bold and steadfast men
And wives who guard their hearts from sin
As both by Christ are led.
2. In you a man may love his bride
Enough to be her guard and guide,
And rule with tender heart.
And wives will gladly work in you
To aid the good their husbands do—
Delighted in their part.
3. For Christian homes have jobs for all.
If one’s undone, the house may fall,
Though be it help or head.
And there a child will know his place:
The seed of Abrah’m, marked for grace,
And loved, as our Lord said:
4. For such do fill the Land of God,
Where we’ll need no firm words, no rod
To put us in our place.
There husbands, wives, sons, daughters we
Like children safe at home will be,
For we are called by grace. Used With Tune: SCHULTZ
O Christian Home
I Sing the Birth
Author: B. Jonson, c. 1572-1637 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: I sing the birth was born tonight Lyrics: 1 I sing the birth was born tonight,
The Author both of life and light:
The angels so did sound it;
And like the ravished shepherds said,
Who saw the light and were afraid,
Yet searched, and true they found it.
2 The Son of God, th'eternal King,
That did us all salvation bring,
And freed the world from danger,
He whom the whole world could not take,
The Lord which heav'n and earth did make,
Was now laid in a manger.
3 The Father's wisdom willed it so,
The Son's obedience knew no "No,"
Both wills were in one stature;
And, as that wisdom hath decreed,
The Word was now made flesh indeed,
And took on Him our nature.
4 What comfort by Him do we win,
Who made Himself the price of sin,
To make us heirs of glory!
To see this Babe, all innocence,
A martyr born in our defense--
Can man forget this story? Topics: Nativity of our Lord

Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Author: Edward Osler Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way
And speak Thy holy Word.
With love divine their hearts inspire
And touch their lips with hallowed fire
And needful strength afford.
2. Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Savior’s blood,
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower—
To them a messenger of power;
To us, of life and peace.
3. So may they live to Thee alone,
Then hear the welcome word, Well done,
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master’s joy
And all eternity employ
In praise and bliss and love. Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR

I Do Not Come Because My Soul
Author: Frank B. St. John Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I do not come because my soul
Is free from sin and pure and whole
And worthy of Thy grace;
I do not speak to Thee because
I’ve ever justly kept Thy laws
And dare to meet Thy face.
2. I know that sin and guilt combine
To reign o’er every thought of mine
And turn from good to ill;
I know that, when I try to be
Upright and just and true to Thee,
I am a sinner still.
3. I know that often when I strive
To keep a spark of love alive
For Thee, the powers within
Leap up in unsubmissive might
And oft benumb my sense of right
And pull me back to sin.
4. I know that, though in doing good
I spend my life, I never could
Atone for all I’ve done;
But though my sins are black as night,
I dare to come before Thy sight
Because I trust Thy Son.
5. In Him alone my trust I place,
Come boldly to Thy throne of grace,
And there commune with Thee.
Salvation sure, O Lord, is mine,
And, all unworthy, I am Thine,
For Jesus died for me. Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR
I Do Not Come Because My Soul

God is thy shelter and thy rock:
Fear not for thy salvation.
Though fierce the foe and dark the night,
The Lord of hosts shall be thy might,

Call on the Name of God most high,
That he with might endue you.
And Christ, your everlasting Priest,
In all your conflicts shall assist,
From strength to strength renew you. Topics: The Church The People of God; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Used With Tune: KOMMT HER ZU MIR
