Father, let me dedicate
Author: Lawrence Tuttiett Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Appears in 80 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics:
Father, let me dedicate
All this year to thee,
In whatever worldly state
Thou wilt have me be:
Not from sorrow, pain, or care
Freedom dare I claim,
This alone shall be my prayer,
Glorify thy Name.
408
Can a child presume to choose
Where or how to live?
Can a Father's love refuse
All the best to give?
More thou givest every day
Than the best can claim,
Nor withholdest aught that may
Glorify thy Name.
If in mercy thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine;
Let my glad heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim,
And, whate'er the future brings,
Glorify thy Name.
If thou callest to the cross,
And its shadow come,
Turning all my gain to loss,
Shrouding heart and home;
Let me think how thy dear Son
To his glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on,
Glorify thy Name.
Amen.

Onward Speed Thy Conquering Flight
Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Appears in 53 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Onward speed thy conquering flight;
Angel, onward speed;
Cast abroad thy radiant light,
Bid the shades recede;
Tread the idols in the dust,
Heathen fanes destroy,
Spread the Gospel’s holy trust,
Spread the Gospel’s joy.
2 Onward speed thy conquering flight;
Angel, onward haste;
Quickly on each mountain’s height
Be thy standard placed;
Let thy blissful tidings float
Far o’er vale and hill,
Till the sweetly echoing note
Every bosom thrill.
3 Onward speed thy conquering flight;
Angel, onward fly;
Long has been the reign of night;
Bring the morning nigh:
’Tis to thee the heathen lift
Their imploring wail;
Bear them Heaven’s holy gift,
Ere their courage fail.
4 Onward speed thy conquering flight;
Angel, onward speed;
Morning bursts upon our sight—
’Tis the time decreed:
Jesus now His kingdom takes,
Thrones and empires fall,
And the joyous song awakes,
"God is all in all."
