We give Thee but Thine own
Author: W. Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #319 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
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.
May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the Fold!
To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angels' work below.
The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christ-like thing.
And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto thee.
Amen.

Jesus, gentlest Saviour
Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: The Hymnal #322 (1916) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Jesus, gentlest Savior,
God of might and power,
Thou thyself art dwelling
With us at this hour.
Nature cannot hold thee,
Heaven is all too strait
For thine endless glory
And thy royal state.
Out beyond the shining
Of the farthest star,
Thou art ever stretching
Infinitely far.
Yet the hearts of children
Hold what worlds cannot,
And the God of wonders
Loves the lowly spot.
Jesus, gentlest Savior,
Thou art with us now;
Fill us with thy goodness
Till our hearts o'erflow.
296
Multiply our graces;
Give us love and fear,
And, dear Lord, the chiefest,
Grace to persevere!
O how can we thank thee
For a gift like this,
Gift that truly maketh
Heaven's eternal bliss?
Amen.

The King of love my Shepherd is
Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Hymnal #326 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine for ever.
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
299
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever.
Amen.

The King of love my Shepherd is
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: The Hymnal #339 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood
Lord of lords, in human vesture --
In the Body and the Blood --
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph;
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord most high.
Amen.

A little child the Saviour came
Author: William Robertson Hymnal: The Hymnal #341 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
A little child the Savior came,
The Mighty God was still his Name;
And angels worshipped as he lay,
The seeming infant of a day.
He who a little child began
The life divine to show to man,
Proclaims from heaven the message free,
"Let little children come to me."
We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
Of cleansing water name them thine:
Their souls with saving grace endow,
Baptize them with thy Spirit now.
311
O give thy angels charge, good Lord,
Them safely in thy way to guard;
Thy blessing on their lives command,
And write their names upon thy hand.
O Thou who by an infant's tongue
Dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
May these, with all the heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

A little child the Saviour came
Saviour, Who Thy flock art feeding
Author: William A. Mühlenberg Hymnal: The Hymnal #343 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Savior, who thy flock art feeding,
With the shepherd's kindest care,
All the feeble gently leading,
While the lambs thy bosom share:
Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in thy gracious arm;
There we know, thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.
Never from thy pasture roving
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them all life's dangerous way.
Then, within thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place;
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of thy grace.
Amen.

Saviour, Who Thy flock art feeding
Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal #346 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armour on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through his eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
And in his mighty power:
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray:
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may overcome, through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.
315
To God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit, ever blest,
The One in Three, the Three in One
Be endless praise addressed.
Amen.

Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Hymnal #347 (1916) Meter: 8.5.7.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for us was born,
In the stable, cold and poor,
On glad Christmas morn.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus
Who was crucified
On Good Friday for our sins:
Loving us he died.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for sinners lay
In the tomb, and rose upon
Happy Easter Day.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
He, who is our Way,
Went up in a cloud to heaven
On Ascension Day.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who at Whitsuntide
Sent his Holy Spirit down
With us to abide.
Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
We will praise his love,
All our days on earth below,
And for aye above.
Amen.

Advent tells us Christ is near
Author: Katherine Hankey Hymnal: The Hymnal #348 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Advent tells us Christ is near;
Christmas tells us Christ is here!
In Epiphany we trace
All the glory of his grace.
Those three Sundays before Lent
Will prepare us to repent,
That in Lent we may begin
Earnestly to mourn for sin.
Holy Week and Easter, then,
Tell who died and rose again:
O that happy Easter Day!
"Christ is risen indeed," we say.
Yes, and Christ ascended, too,
To prepare a place for you;
So we give him special praise,
After those great forty days.
Then, he sent the Holy Ghost,
On the day of Pentecost,
With us ever to abide:
Well may we keep Whitsuntide!
Last of all, we humbly sing
Glory to our God and King,
Glory to the One in Three,
On the Feast of Trinity.
Amen.

I think when I read that sweet story of old
Author: Jemima Luke Hymnal: The Hymnal #350 (1916) Meter: 11.8.12.9 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arms had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen his kind look when he said,
"Let the little ones come unto me."
Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in his love;
And if I thus earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above,
In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children shall be with him there,
For "of such is the kingdom of heaven."
But thousands and thousands who wander and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I wish they could know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
