My Faith, It Is an Oaken Staff

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: My faith it is an oaken staff Lyrics: 1 My faith, it is an oaken staff, the traveler’s well-loved aid; My faith, it is a song of trust, sustains me undismayed. I’ll travel on and still be stirred by silent thought or social word; By all my perils undeterred, a pilgrim unafraid. 2 My guide is Jesus Christ whose steps, when travelers have trod, Whether beneath was flinty rock or yielding grassy sod, They carried on, their joy unspent; through pain and trial they onward went, Unstayed by pleasures, still they bent their zealous course to God. 3 My faith, it is an oaken staff, O let me on it lean. My faith provides the ground of hope, supports a purpose keen. Your Spirit, God, upon me send, that I may be what you intend. With patient courage, we'll contend as radiant saints serene.

They Did Not Build in Vain

Author: Alan Luff Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain; They built upon the rock that is the risen Christ, the one foundation laid, that stands each earthly shock. 2 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race; Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; 3 In every place our world is storm and tempest tossed, the flames of fear and hate are evil's flags unfurled; Yet still the Spirit's power in wind and fire of love pours gifts upon the church for service in this hour. 4 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith, where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; Where God in Trinity is bridge from death to life, from sin to holiness, time to eternity.
