Babcock Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: Courage and Loyalty; Loyalty and Courage 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: 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: O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world: The battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and heaven be one. Amen. Used With Tune: TERRA PATRIS

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail his ways! Fears and doubts too long have bound us– free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Heal your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage lest we miss your kingdom’s goal, lest we miss your kingdom’s goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the gift of your salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving you whom we adore, serving you whom we adore. Scripture: Esther 4:14 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Ye that are brave, now serve him against unnumbered foes; let courage rise with danger, and all God's foes oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone; the arm of flesh will fail you– ye dare not trust your own; put on the gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer; where duty calls, or danger, be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the strife will not be long; this day the noise of battle, the next, the victor's song: to those who conquer evil a crown of life shall be; they with the King of glory shall reign eternally.
