The Wise May Bring Their Learning
Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning,
the rich may bring their wealth,
and some may bring their greatness,
and some their strength and health.
2 We too would bring our treasures
to offer to the King.
We have no wealth or learning--
what treasures shall we bring?
3 We'll bring hearts filled with loving,
we'll bring our thankful praise,
while always humbly trying
to follow in God's ways. Topics: Meeting with God's People Dedication and Offering Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN Text Sources: Adapted from The Book of Praise for Children, 1881
The Wise May Bring Their Learning
The voice that breathed o'er Eden
Author: John Keble Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics:
The voice that breathed o'er Eden,
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.
Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid,
The holy Three are with us,
The threefold grace is said.
Be present, aweful Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side:
Be present, Son of Mary,
To join their loving hands,
As thou didst bind two natures
In thine eternal bands!
Be present, holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As thou, for Christ the Bridegroom,
The heavenly Spouse dost seal!
O spread thy pure wing o'er them,
Let no ill power find place,
When onward to thine altar
Their hallowed path they trace,
To cast their crowns before thee
In perfect sacrifice,
Till to the home of gladness
With Christ's own Bride they rise.
Amen.

God Is My Strong Salvation
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is my strong salvation;
what foe have I to fear?
In darkness and temptation
my light, my help, is near.
2 Though hosts encamp around me,
firm to the fight I stand;
what terror can confound me,
with God at my right hand?
3 Place on the Lord reliance,
my soul, with courage wait;
his truth be thine affiance,
when faint and desolate.
4 His might thy heart shall strengthen,
his love thy joy increase;
mercy thy days shall lengthen;
the Lord will give thee peace.

And Thine to us so great?

And doubts here here annoy:
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.

On that celestial shore.

And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap eternal joy. Topics: Heaven; Sickness, Death, and Burial Used With Tune: NORMANTON

That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.
