Shine Thou Upon Us, Lord
We Give Thee but Thine Own
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 498 hymnals Topics: Teaching/Education Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
whate'er the gift may be;
all that we have is thine alone,
a trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, as thou blessest us,
to thee our firstfruits give.
3 The captive to release,
to God the lost to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace:
it is a Christ-like thing.
4 And we believe thy word,
though dim our faith may be;
whate'er we do for thine, O Lord,
we do it unto thee. Scripture: Genesis 28:22 Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 Used With Tune: RATISBON
Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Within the Father's House
Author: J. R. Woodford, 1820-85 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Youth and Education Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house
The Son hath found His home,
And to His Temple suddenly
The Lord of Life hath come.
2 The doctors of the Law
Gaze on the wondrous Child
And marvel at His gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
The mighty truth to know,
To Iift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful pond'ring hearts await
The full epiphany.
5 Lord, visit Thou our souls
And teach us by Thy grace
Each dim revealing of Thyself
With loving awe to trace,
6 Till from our darkened sight
The cloud shall pass away
And on the cleansed soul shall burst
The everlasting day,
7 Till we behold Thy face
And know as we are known
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Co-equal Three in One.

Tell Me The Story Of Jesus
Built on the Rock
Author: Nicolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Döving Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education First Line: Built on the rock the church does stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the rock the church does stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in every land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the most high, is not dwelling;
High above earth his temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet he whom heavens cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies his temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for his habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns,
Heirs of his wondrous salvation;
Were we but two his name to tell,
Yet he would deign with us to dwell,
With all his grace and His favor.
4 Now we may gather with our King,
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forth-telling;
Jesus his grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all his words,
His truth doth hollow the temple.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22 Used With Tune: KIRKEN (BUILT ON THE ROCK)

He Who Would Valiant Be
Author: John Bunyan; Percy Dearmer Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 He who would valiant be
'Gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy
Follow the Master.
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories
Do but themselves confound—
His strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might;
Though he with giants fight,
He will make good his right
To be a pilgrim.
3 Since, Lord, thou dost defend
Us with thy Spirit,
We know we at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, flee away!
I'll fear not what men say,
I'll labor night and day
To be a pilgrim.
Amen. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: ST. DUNSTAN'S
