Faith of Our Fathers
Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 838 hymnals Topics: Father's Day First Line: Faith of our fathers! living still Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers! living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children's fate,
If they like them could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our fathers! we will strive
To win all nations unto thee,
And thro' the truth that comes from God,
Mankind shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
4 Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee too as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
Amen.

O God, beyond all praising, we worship you today
Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: God, Father Gracious and Merciful Lyrics: 1 O God beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at every gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end;
We lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honour and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
2 Then hear, O gracious Saviour,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favour
may serve you as our king;
and whether our tomorrows
be filled with good or ill,
we'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to bless you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise. Used With Tune: THAXTED

O God, Thy grace and blessing give
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: God the Father Is Love Lyrics: 1 O God, Thy grace and blessing give
To us who on Thy name attend,
That we this mortal life may live
Regardful of our journey's end.
2 Teach us to know that Jesus died,
And rose again, our souls to save;
Teach us to take Him as our guide,
Our help from childhood to the grave.
3 Then shall not death with terror come,
But welcome as a bidden guest,
The herald of a better home,
The messenger of peace and rest.
4 And when the awful signs appear
Of judgment and the throne above,
Our hearts still fixed, we shall not fear,
God is our trust, and God is love. Used With Tune: WHEN IN THE HOUR OF UTMOST NEED
O God, Thy grace and blessing give
O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 201 hymnals Topics: God the Father His Eternity and Power Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling place serene:
Before Thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, who dost not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: MIRIAM

Raise your triumphant Songs
Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Christ sent by the Father Lyrics: 1 Raise your triumphant Songs
To an immortal Tune,
Let the wide Earth resound the Deeds
Celestial Grace has done.
2 Sing how eternal Love
Its chief Beloved chose,
And bid him raise our wretched Race
From their Abyss of Woes.
3 His Hand no Thunder bears,
Nor Terror clothes his Brow,
No bolts to drive our guilty Souls
To fiercer Flames below.
4 'Twas Mercy fill'd the Throne,
And Wrath stood silent by,
When Christ was sent with Pardon down,
To Rebels doom'd to die.
5 Now Sinners, dry your Tears,
Let hopeless Sorrow cease;
Bow to the Sceptre of his Love,
And take the offer'd Peace.
6 Lord, we obey thy Call,
We lay an humble Claim
To the Salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy Name.
