Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Burdens Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways!
Reclothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: REST

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All creatures great and small,
And all things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all.

Each little bird that sings,

He made their tiny wings.

All creatures great and small,
And all things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all.

The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden:
He made them, every one.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
And all things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all.
4 He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
And all things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1806-1890 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Burdens Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right One on our side,
The One of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill,
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever. Scripture: Psalm 18:2 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG

2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
For flame shall not hurt thee- I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!" Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: "K" in Rippon's A Selection of Hymns", 1787

Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of thy sheltering fold,
Ever thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to thee.

With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded,
With thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss till now, was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine!
2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
’Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 The joy can ne'er be spoken,
Above all joys beside,
When in Thy body broken
I thus with safety hide.
My Lord of life, desiring
Thy glory now to see,
Beside the cross expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to Thee.
4 What language shall I borrow,
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
Oh, make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.

The crimson, cleansing tide;

Never to leave me alone. [Refrain] Scripture: John 14:18 Used With Tune: NEVER ALONE
