May Thy Church Our Shelter Be
Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. May Thy Church our shelter be,
Ark in mercy built by Thee,
Refuge from the storms of life,
From the wearing toil and strife,
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Threatening shipwreck to the soul,
Grant us faith and holy fear,
By Thy will our course to steer.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Show Thy cheering, guiding light;
Waft us homeward, Lord, we pray,
Nearer Heaven, day by day.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.
4. Bid the storms of passion cease,
Bid the power of love increase,
Bid each tossing doubt be still,
Bid us trust and do Thy will.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Till the haven fair we view,
Grant us on that peaceful shore
Home and friends forevermore.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

May we praise and worship Thee,
Glad because we are at rest,
In Thy presence with the blest.
Hear us, we beseech Thee. Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Every girl and every boy,

Fleecy flocks were scattered round,
When a brightness filled the sky,
And a song was heard on high
On the Christmas morning.

Peace on earth, to men good-will;
Hark! the angels sing it still
On the Christmas morning.

Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wondering angels see
On the Christmas morning.

Peace and love, and all good-will;
This fair Babe of Bethlehem

Father, Whose Creating Hand

Made the ocean and the land;
All Thy creatures are Thy care,

On the waters, drawing near;
Thou art able still to save,
Calmly ruling wind and wave.

Life where all was dark and dead,
By Thy breath we move and live,
Thou dost light and order give.

God, whose blood for man did flow,
God, who dost within us dwell,
Keep us Thine, and all is well.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Under bright and peaceful skies,
When the winds in fury rave,
Lifting high the rushing wave,
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Give each lawful aim success;
In our time of need draw nigh,
Saying, Fear not, it is I.
Hear us, we beseech Thee.

Give them peace in heart and mind;
Keep us all in union sweet,
At our Father’s mercy seat.
Hear us, we beseech Thee. Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889
