Father, hear the prayer we offer
Author: Love M. Willis (1824-1908) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #360c (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Election of God's People Abraham Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer —
not for ease that prayer shall be,
but for strength that we may ever
live our lives courageously.
2 Not for ever in green pastures
do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not for ever by still waters
would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wanderings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be there at our side. Languages: English Tune Title: SUSSEX
Father, hear the prayer we offer
Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #364 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Anniversaries; The Church The Covenant People; Church Children of; God Works of Lyrics: 1 Let children hear the mighty deeds
which God performed of old;
which in our younger years we saw,
and which our fathers told.
2 He bids us make his glories know,
his works of pow'r and grace;
and we'll convey his wonders down
through ev'ry rising race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
and they again to theirs;
that generations yet unborn
may teach them to their heirs.
4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
their hope securely stands,
that they may ne'er forget his works,
but practice his commands.
Scripture: Psalm 78:1-7 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds
Once to every man and nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnal #373 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Work; The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service; Loyalty and Courage; Social Progress; Young People's Day Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 't is truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
Amen. Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL

The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed,
When justice shall be throned in might,
And every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad:
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.
