All Ye Who Like The Birds Can Soar
Author: P. C. Paulsen; N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All ye who like the birds can soar,
Who earth and sea and sky explore,
Lift up your hearts in singing;
Give praise to God, for good is He
And by His grace would set you free
Who still to earth are clinging.
2 My soul, thou art of noble birth,
Thy thoughts rise upward from the earth
As if on eagle pinions.
Most lofty is thy upward flight
When thou ascendest, robed in light,
To heaven's fair dominions.
3 Thou canst not find on land or sea
A creature that is like to thee,
In need of grace from heaven;
God verily had thee in mind
When through His Son He saved mankind,
And thou to Him be given.
4 Awake, my soul, lift up thy voice;
Do thou in Christ the Lord rejoice
And laud Him as thy Savior,
Who from the Father's throne above
Bestows on thee His wondrous love,
His grace and ev'ry favor.
5 Go tell it to the birds that fly
And to the angels in the sky,
Whose song so happy soundeth,
That thou like them with joyful zest
Wilt praise thy God and call Him blest,
Whose grace to all aboundeth.

Oh, Could I Rest In Mary's Place
Author: Marie Wexels Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I rest in Mary's place
And look into my Savior's face
With child-like faith and gladness,
Could I at morning and at night
Embrace His words with deep delight,
They would dispel my sadness.
2 Then I should find the strength with joy
To labor in my Lord's employ
And walk in His blest Spirit,
His love within my heart would grow
And anthems from my lips would flow
To praise His grace and merit.
3 Oh, speak to me, my Friend and Lord,
And I will answer with the word
Thou hast in me implanted,
For I have naught that I can bring
To Thee, my mighty Lord and King,
Except what Thou hast granted.
4 Thy Word, O Lord, is fill'd with pow'r
And blessed is each silent hour
We at Thy feet are spending;
There ev'ry grief and fear is still'd
And hearts, with strength and courage fill'd,
Are heaven-ward ascending. Topics: Spiritual Songs God's Word Used With Tune: [Oh, could I rest in Mary's place]
Oh, Could I Rest In Mary's Place
Go Forth, My Heart, And Seek Delight
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go forth, my heart, and seek delight,
While summer reigns so fair and bright,
View God's abundance daily,
The bounty of these gardens see,
Behold how they for me and thee
Have decked themselves so gaily.
2 The trees with spreading leaves are bless'd,
The earth her barren soil has dress'd
In green so young and tender.
Narcissus and the tulip fair
Are cloth'd in raiment far more rare
Than Solomon in splendor.
3 Fast grows the wheat, like waving gold,
And gives delight to young and old;
They praise with glad thanksgiving
Him who through mercy measureless
Vouchsafed the soul of man to bless
With goods that grace his living.
4 Thy splendor, Lord, doth shine so bright
And fills us with such pure delight
While here on earth abiding;
What, then, may be in store for me
And all who heaven's glory see,
In golden halls residing?
5 Oh, choose me for Thy Paradise,
While yet I dwell beneath the skies,
But let me flourish ever.
With Thee alone will I abide,
Thine honor serve, and none beside,
Till soul and body sever.
