My People, Give Ear, Attend to My Word

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #157 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Parents Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For He has commanded that what He has done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 3 Let children thus learn from history’s light To hope in our God and walk in His sight, The God of their fathers to fear and obey, And ne’er like their fathers to turn from His way. 4 The story be told, to warn and restrain, Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain, Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, Who kept not God’s covenant nor walked in His fear. 5 God’s wonderful works to them He had shown, His marvelous deeds their fathers had known; He made for their pathway the waters divide, His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, And forth from the rock caused water to burst; Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said, Can He who gave water supply us with bread? 7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot To hope in their God, and trusted Him not; Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky And rained down the manna in richest supply. 8 With bread from on high their need He supplied, And more did He do when thankless they sighed; The strong winds commanding from south and from east, He sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose, Till God in His wrath o’erwhelmed them with woes; He slew of their strongest and smote their young men, But still unbelieving they sinned even then. 10 Because of their sin He smote with His rod, And then they returned and sought for their God; Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High, Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie. 11 Not right with their God in heart and in will, They faithlessly broke His covenant still; But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay, Forgave them and oft turned His anger away. 12 His pity was great, though often they sinned, For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind; Yet though His compassion and grace they beheld, They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled. 13 They limited God, the Most Holy One, And hindered the work His grace had begun; The hand that was mighty to save they forgot, The day of redemption remembering not. 14 Ungrateful and blind, no longer they thought Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought, Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red, And plagues in God’s anger were heaped on their head. 15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain, In Egypt’s abodes the first-born were slain, And how all God’s people were led forth like sheep, The flock He delighted in safety to keep.

My People, Give Ear, Attend to My Word

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #158 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Parents Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe, He caused them with ease and safety to go; His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought To dwell in the mountain the Lord’s hand had bought. 3 He gave them the land, a heritage fair; The nations that dwelt in wickedness there He drove out before them with great overthrow, And gave to His people the tents of the foe. 4 Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord, Unfaithful they turned to idols abhorred, And God in His anger withdrew from them then, No longer delighting to dwell among men. 5 He gave them to death in battle, although His glory and strength were scorned by the foe; Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed, Their priests slain in battle, none wept for the dead. 6 Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight; Again to His people His favor He showed, And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode. 7 His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep, From tending his flock, the people to keep; So David, their shepherd, with wisdom and might Protected and fed them and led them aright.

No Matter If You Live Now Far or Near

Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #181 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Parents Lyrics: 1 No matter if you live now far or near, no matter what your weakness or your strength, there is not one alive we count outside. May deeper joy for all now come at length, may deeper joy for all now come at length. 2 Let none among us lie or self-deceive; nor cultivate a hatred all or part, may never one of us live by our rage nor wish another injury of heart, nor wish another injury of heart. 3 Just as the goodly mother will protect her children, e’en at risk of her own life, so may we nurture an old mindfulness, a boundless heart beyond all fear and strife, a boundless heart beyond all fear and strife.

Now I Recall My Childhood

Author: Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #191 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Parents First Line: Now I recall my childhood when the sun Lyrics: 1 Now I recall my childhood when the sun burst to my bedside with the day’s surprise; faith in the marvelous bloomed anew each dawn, flowers bursting fresh within my heart each day. 2 Then looking on the world with simple joy, on insects, birds, and beasts, and common weeds, the grass and clouds had fullest wealth of awe; my mother’s voice gave meaning to the stars. 3 Now when I turn to think of coming death, I find life’s song in star-songs of the night, in rise of curtains and new morning light, in life reborn in fresh surprise of love.
