Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Baptism; Church; Dedication of Children Lyrics: 1 Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee. 2 Grant us then pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 3 When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new pow'rs of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 4 May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That, when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown. Scripture: Ephesians 6:4 Used With Tune: SICILIAN MARINERS

Neither life nor death can ever From the Lord His children sever, For His love and deep compassion Comfort them in tribulation. 4.

God and His Church

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Dedication of Church First Line: Gracious Lord, remember David Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.
