Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Author: Mary Byrne, 1880-1931; Eleanor Hull, 1860-1935 Meter: 10.11.11.11 Appears in 166 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year B Lyrics: 1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.
2 Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord;
be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
3 Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;
be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.
4 Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.
5 High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright Sun,
O grant me its joys after victory is won;
great Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of all. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:24 Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Irish, 8th century

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts; Pauline Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,042 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year A First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Quand je me tourne vers la croix) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small:
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix
où Christ expire su le bois
mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil,
prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil.
2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur
hormis la crois de mon Sauveur?
Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs,
je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir.
3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté,
du front d'épines couronné,
douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés,
descendre pour nous racheter.
4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier
ce don serait pris es pitié.
Amour si grand, si pur, si doux
veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout!

Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year B Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
to praise thy name, give thanks and sing,
to show thy love by morning light,
and talk of all thy truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
no mortal cares disturb my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
like David's harp of solemn sound!
3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
and bless his works, and bless his word;
thy works of grace, how bright they shine,
how deep thy counsels, how divine!
4 And I shall share a glorious part,
when grace has well refined my heart,
and fresh supplies of joy are shed,
like holy oil, to cheer my head.
5 Then shall I see and hear and know
all I desired or wished below;
and every power find sweet employ
in that eternal world of joy. Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:23 Used With Tune: DEEP HARMONY
Sweet is the work, my God, my King

My God, I love thee; not because
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year B Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because who love thee not
are lost eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
yea, death itself — and all for me
who was thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell;
5 Not from the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward;
but as thyself hast lovèd me,
O ever-loving Lord.
6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
solely because thou art my God,
and my most loving King. Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Used With Tune: SOLOMON Text Sources: Latin, 17th century
My God, I love thee; not because
Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year C Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP
Come, O thou Traveller unknown

O God of Every Nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year C Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Give strength to those who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling sabre,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
your still small voice be heard:
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN
O God of Every Nation
