O Lord, You Gave Your Servant John
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #431 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, You gave Your servant John
A vision of the world to come:
A radiant city filled with light,
Where You with us will make Your home;
Where neither grief nor pain shall dwell,
Since former things have passed away,
And where they need no sun nor moon;
Your glory lights eternal day.
2 Our cities, Lord, wear shrouds of pain;
Beneath our gleaming towers of wealth
The homeless crouch in rain and snow,
The poor cry out for strength and health.
Youth's hope is dimmed by ignorance;
Unwilling workers idled stand;
Indifference walks unheeding by
As hunger stretches out its hand.
3 Come, Lord, make real John's vision fair;
Come, dwell with us, make all things new;
We try in vain to save our world
Unless our help shall come from You.
Come, strengthen us to live in love;
Bid hatred, greed, injustice cease.
Your glory all the light we need,
Let all our cities shine forth peace. Scripture: Revelation 21 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

I Bind Unto Myself Today
Hymnal: The Christian Life Hymnal #6 (2006) Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by pow'r of faith, Christ's incarnation;
His baptism in the Jordan River;
His death on cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spiced tomb;
His riding up the heav'nly way;
His coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the pow'r of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken, to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward;
the Word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three,
Of whom all nature hath created,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Tune Title: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE
