This Is My Father's World

Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901 Appears in 320 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world, And to my listening ears All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world; I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas-- His hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father's world; The birds their carols raise; The morning light, the lily white, Declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world; He shines in all that's fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass; He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is my Father's world; Oh, let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world; Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns, let the earth be glad! Topics: God's World Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

Author: Francis S. Key Appears in 445 hymnals First Line: Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light Lyrics: Oh say! can you see, by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Topics: Love For Country Used With Tune: STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

The Wise May Bring Their Learning

Author: Unknown Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning, The rich may bring their wealth, And some may bring their greatness, And some bring strength and health; We too, would bring our treasures To offer to the King; We have no wealth or learning – What shall we children bring? 2 We'll bring Him hearts that love Him, We'll bring Him thankful praise, And young souls meekly striving To walk in holy ways: And these shall be our treasures We offer to the King, And these are gifts that even The poorest child may bring. 3 We'll bring the many duties We have to do each day; We'll try our best to please Him At home, at school or play; And better are these treasures To offer to our King, Than richest gifts without them; Yet these a child may bring.

There Is a Green Hill Far Away

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 698 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Outside a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to Heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood And try His works to do. Topics: Jesus on Earth Used With Tune: HORSLEY

Elliott, 1836-97 Appears in 418 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy Kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me, But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity.

Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus; There is room in my heart for Thee! 3 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest me. Used With Tune: MARGARET

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,005 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 3 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
