Almighty Father, kind and true
Within the Church's Sacred Fold
Author: Katherine D. Cornish Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Within the Church’s sacred fold Lyrics: Substitute she/her for he/him if appropriate.
1. Within the Church’s sacred fold,
By holy sacrament enrolled,
Another lamb we lay:
An heir before of sin and shame,
Now in the holy triune name
His guilt is washed away.
2. O loving Father, Thee we pray
Look on this babe newborn today,
Thine own adopted child;
An angel guard do Thou bestow
To lead him in Thy paths below,
And guide him through the wild.
3. O God the Son, Thou heavenly vine,
Protect this tender branch of Thine
Through all that may betide;
Forever nourished may he be
With sap divine that flows from Thee,
In Thee for aye abide.
4. Blest Spirit, whose indwelling grace
Has given this little one a place
Among the heirs of life;
O breathe Thy sevenfold gifts within,
And keep Thy temple pure from sin
In midst of worldly strife.
5. So, holy Trinity, by Thee
Divinely trained this babe may be
In faith and hope and love;
So may he gain, earth’s waves o’erpast,
His bright inheritance at last
With all Thy saints above. Used With Tune: KENILWORTH Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1875

By Faith I Look
Author: C. E. Peglar Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: By faith I look where Christ has gone Lyrics: 1. By faith I look where Christ has gone,
And see upon His Father’s throne
A Man, with glory crowned;
His brow is marred, and on His side,
Whence flowed the cleansing crimson tide,
The marks of love are found.
2. Here is the record of the past—
Fruit of my sins that bound Him fast
To that degrading tree;
In every wound I read my guilt,
And thank Him that His blood was spilt
To set my conscience free.
3. I look again, and now I see
That blessèd Man engaged for me,
His hands uplifted high;
Before the throne of God He pleads,
God’s great High Priest, He intercedes,
And so preserves me nigh.
4. What love! He washed my sins away,
Thus boldness in the Judgment Day
For me there doth remain.
What grace! now occupied with me,
He wills I should His glory see,
When He returns again! Used With Tune: PIETY
By Faith I Look

Almighty God, I Humbly Ask
Author: J. H. Kuhlmann Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, I humbly ask
That I may know my daily task,
To do Thy holy will.
Be Thou, throughout the journey's length,
O Lord, my never-failing strength,
In days of good or ill.
2 Help me, that I may never shirk,
But always look upon my work
As coming, Lord, from Thee;
And may, in doing well my part,
This holy thought inspire my heart:
Thou, Father, sendest me!
3 Then equal to the noblest strife
Shall be the lot of lowly life,
Which ne'er from duty swerves;
And he, who self has sacrificed,
Is walking in the steps of Christ,
Whose love forever serves. Topics: The Christian Life Service Used With Tune: CHORLEY
Almighty God, I Humbly Ask
To Thee my soul enraptured sings
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
To Thee my soul enraptured sings,
O Thou, Immortal King of kings
Enthroned where glory shines;
The garland of the praises sweet,
That I would offer at Thy feet,
My grateful heart entwines.
II
More rare Thy beauty than the best
By highest heaven or earth possessed;
More radiant than the sun,
The glory shining from Thy face
That fills with light the holy place,
O Thou Immortal One!
III
Greater Thy might than lord of war,—
Thy vast dominions stretch afar
Beyond a kingly sway;
Thy hand upholds the earth and sea,
And heaven, and all that therein be,
Thy wise decrees obey.
IV
But not by rule of power alone
Are subjects loyal to Thy throne,
Thy love their fealty wins,—
A love that, by its winning grace
Allured our fallen, guilty race
From their rebellious sins.
V
Lord, by Thy cross that won my soul,
From bondage to benign control,
My every power possess;
That, daily, I my cross may bear,
And find, to serve Thee everywhere,
Is praising Thee the best.
VI
To Thee my soul enraptured sings,
O Thou Immortal King of kings,
But I would join the song,
Of myriad souls in realms of light,
Who praise their King by day and night,
Through all the ages long.
Hymns from the Morningland, 1911
To Thee my soul enraptured sings
