Wonder of Wonders

Naming and blessing, bring dedication, humble in purpose over the years. 3 Wisdom of ages, new every morning, Mother and Father, Partner and Friend, freeing, forgiving, lift all our loving into your presence, joy without end.

Trust and Praise

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Parents and Children First Line: Hallelujah, praise Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. 2 Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on man depend; He shall die, to dust returning, And his purposes shall end. 3 Happy is the man that chooses Israel's God to be his aid; He is blest whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed. 4 'n and earth the Lord created, Seas and all that they contain; He delivers from oppression, Righteousness He will maintain. 5 Food He daily gives the hungry, Sets the mourning pris'ner free, Raises those bowed down with anguish, Makes the sightless eyes to see. 6 Well Jehovah loves the righteous, And the stranger He befriends, Helps the fatherless and widow, Judgment on the wicked sends. 7 Over all God reigns forever, Through all ages He is King; Unto Him, thy God, O Zion, Joyful hallelujahs sing. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: BROCKLESBURY

God only wise, almighty, good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: A Parent's Prayer Lyrics: 1 God only wise, almighty, good, Send forth thy truth and light, To point us out the narrow road, And guide our steps aright: 2 To steer our dang'rous course between The rocks on either hand; And fix us in the golden mean, And bring our charge to land. 3 Made apt by thy sufficient grace To teach as taught by thee, We come to train in all thy ways Our rising progeny. 4 Their selfish will in time subdue, And mortify their pride; And lend their youth a sacred clew To find the Crucify'd! 5 We would in ev'ry step look up, By thy example taught, T' alarm their fear, excite their hope, And rectify their thought. 6 We would persuade their heart t' obey, With mildest zeal proceed; And never take the harsher way, When love will do the deed. 7 For this we ask, in faith sincere, The wisdom from above, To touch their hearts with filial fear, And pure, ingenuous love: 8 To watch their will to sense inclin'd, With-hold the hurtful food; And gently bend their tender mind, And draw their souls to God.

How Can We Name a Love

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Parenting Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love that wakens heart and mind, indwelling all we know or think or do or seek or find? Within our daily world, in every human face, Love's echoes sound and God is found, hid in the commonplace. 2 If we awoke to life upheld by loving care that asked no great reward but firm, assured, was simply there, we can, with parents' names, describe, and thus adore, Love unconfined, our Father kind, our Mother strong and sure. 3 When people share a task, and strength and skills unite in projects old or new, to make or do with shared delight, our Friend and Partner's will is better understood, that all should share, create, and care, and know that life is good. 4 So in a hundred names, each day we all can meet a presence, sensed and shown at work, at home, or in the street. Yet names and titles all shine in a brighter sun: in Christ alone is full Love grown and life and hope begun. Scripture: Romans 5:1-5 Used With Tune: ICH HALTE TREULICH STILL
