Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Lyrics: 1 Praise the Savior, ye who know him!

Gladly let us render to him
All we are and have.
2 Jesus is the name that charms us,
he for conflict fits and arms us;
nothing moves and nothing harms us
while we trust in him.

he is faithful, changing never;
neither force nor guile can sever
those he loves from him.
4 Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
to thyself and still believing,
till the hour of our receiving
promised joys with thee.
5 Then we shall be where we would be,
then we shall be what we should be;
things that are not now, nor could be,
soon shall be our own.

true fountain ever-flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing:
give me a healthy frame,
and may I have within
a conscience free from blame,
a soul unstained by sin.
2 Give me the strength to do
with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling -
to do it when I ought,
with all my strength; and bless
whatever I have wrought,
for you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when, within my place
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
oh keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems dark and cheerless;
help me, as you have taught,
to love both great and small,
and, by your Spirit's might
to live at peace with all. Topics: God Faithfulness of; Supplication For Sanctification Used With Tune: DARMSTADT (WAS FRAG' ICH NACH DER WELT)

your flock, from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page;
your people owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record:
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great King's feast;
and this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
3 Through many a day of darkness,
through many a scene of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their Gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, life restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
4 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
by mortals and by angels
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Church Ministry; Church unity and ecumenism; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Used With Tune: THORNBURY
