We give Thee but Thine own

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: We give thee but thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from thee. May we thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as thou blessest us, To thee our first-fruits give. O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the Fold! To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. And we believe thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee. Amen. Used With Tune: CAMBRIDGE

The King of love my Shepherd is

Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 685 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his, And he is mine for ever. Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul he leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love he sought me, And on his shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me. In death's dark vale I fear no ill With thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me. Thou spread'st a table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth; And O what transport of delight From thy pure chalice floweth! 299 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never: Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise Within thy house for ever. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT ME

Let all mortal flesh keep silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 180 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly-minded, For with blessing in his hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand. King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth he stood Lord of lords, in human vesture -- In the Body and the Blood -- He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food. Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of Light descendeth From the realms of endless day, That the powers of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away. At his feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the Presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia, Lord most high. Amen.

Soldiers of Christ, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 914 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Soldiers of Christ, arise, And put your armour on; Strong in the strength which God supplies, Through his eternal Son. Strong in the Lord of Hosts, And in his mighty power: Who in the strength of Jesus trusts Is more than conqueror. Stand then in his great might, With all his strength endued, And take, to arm you for the fight, The panoply of God. From strength to strength go on, Wrestle, and fight, and pray: Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day. That, having all things done, And all your conflicts past, Ye may overcome, through Christ alone, And stand complete at last. 315 To God, the Father, Son, And Spirit, ever blest, The One in Three, the Three in One Be endless praise addressed. Amen. Used With Tune: SILVER STREET

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 417 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Christmastide Lyrics: Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby, In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 317 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. For he is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us he grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew, And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness. And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars his children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

Author: William Whiting Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics: Eternal Father! strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea! 378 O Christ! whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at thy word, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea! Most Holy Spirit! who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea! O Trinity of love and power! Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Amen.

All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above; Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all his love. 385 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. We thank thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seedtime and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food: No gifts have we to offer For all thy love imparts, But that which thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.

We come unto our fathers' God

Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools National Days Lyrics: We come unto our fathers' God: Their Rock is our salvation; The eternal arms, their dear abode, We make our habitation; We bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought, We seek thee as thy saints have sought In every generation. The fire divine their steps that led Still goeth bright before us, The heavenly shield, around them spread, Is still high holden o'er us; The grace those sinners that subdued, The strength those weaklings that renewed, Doth vanquish, doth restore us. 386 Their joy unto their Lord we bring, Their song to us descendeth; The Spirit who in them did sing To us his music lendeth: His song in them, in us, is one; We raise it high, we send it on-- The song that never endeth. Ye saints to come, take up the strain, The same sweet theme endeavour; Unbroken be the golden chain! Keep on the song for ever! Safe in the same dear dwelling-place, Rich with the same eternal grace, Bless the same boundless Giver. Amen. Used With Tune: TO GOD ON HIGH
