Lord, lead the way the Saviour went

Author: Rev. Wm. Croswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure; And let love's treasures still be spent, Like His, upon the poor. 2 Like Him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate. 3 For Thou hast placed us side by side, In this wide world of ill, And, that Thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Mean are all offerings we can make. But Thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward. Amen. Used With Tune: [Lord, lead the way the Saviour went]

O Thou Who madest land and sea

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving and Charities Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless." Amen. Used With Tune: MELITA

Holy offerings, rich and rare

Author: Rev. J. S. B. Monsell Meter: Irregular Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Almsgiving Lyrics: 1 Holy offerings, rich and rare, Offerings of praise and prayer, Purer life and purpose high, Clasped hands, uplifted eye, Lowly acts of adoration To the God of our salvation; On His altar laid, we leave them: Christ, present them! God, receive them! 2 Homage of each humble heart, Ere we from Thy house depart; Worship fervent, deep and high, Adoration, ecstasy; All that childlike love can render Of devotion true and tender; On thine altar laid, we leave them: Christ, present them! God, receive them! 3 To the Father, and the Son, And the Spirit, Three in One, Though our mortal weakness raise Offerings of imperfect praise, Yet with hearts bowed down most lowly, Crying, Holy! Holy! Holy! On thine altar laid, we leave them: Christ, present them! God, receive them! Amen. Used With Tune: [Holy offerings, rich and rare]
