Faith of Our Mothers
Author: A. B. Patten, 1864-1952 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Intercession First Line: Faith of our mothers, living yet Lyrics: 1 Faith of our mothers, living yet
In cradle song and bedtime prayer,
In nurs'ry love and fireside love,
Thy presence still pervades the air:
Faith of our mothers, living faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
2 Faith of our mothers, lavish faith,
The fount of childhood's trust and grace,
O may thy consecration prove
The well-spring of a nobler race:
Faith of our mothers, lavish faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
For youthful longing– youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without:
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
4 Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,
In truth beyond our manmade creeds,
Still serve the home and save the church,
And breathe thy spirit through our deeds:
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,
We will be true to thee till death. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Ye soldiers of the cross!
Lift high His royal banner-
It must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
His army shall He lead,
Till ev'ry foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day.
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you-
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle-
The next, the victor's song.

A crown of life shall be:
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally. Scripture: Ephesians 6:13 Used With Tune: WEBB

Softly now the light of day
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 891 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Intercession Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.

Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.

él llevó nuestro dolor;
Él nos manda que llevemos
todo a Dios en oración.
¿Vive el hombre desprovisto
de paz, gozo y santo amor?
Esto es porque no llevamos
todo a Dios en oración.
2 ¿Andes débil y cargado
de cuidados y temor?
A Jesús, refugio eterno,
dile todo en oración.
¿Te desprecian tus amigos?
cuéntaselo en oración;
En sus brazos gozo tierno,
paz tendrá tu corazón.
3 Jesucristo es nuestro Amigo:
de esto prueba nos mostró,
Pues a redimirnos vino;
por nosotros se humanó.
El castigo de su pueblo
en su muerte él sufrió;
Cristo es un Amigo eterno;
sólo en él confío yo.
