And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Matching Instances: 35 Lyrics: And now, O Father, mindful of the love That bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree, And having with us him that pleads above, We here present, we here spread forth to thee, That only offering perfect in thine eyes, The one true, pure, immortal sacrifice. Look, Father, look on his anointed face, And only look on us as found in him; Look not on our misusings of thy grace Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim; For lo! between our sins and their reward, We set the Passion of thy Son our Lord. 304 And then for those, our dearest and our best, By this prevailing presence we appeal; O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast! O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal! From tainting mischief keep them white and clear, And crown thy gifts with strength to persevere. And so we come; O draw us to thy feet, Most patient Savior, who canst love us still! And by this Food, so awful and so sweet, Deliver us from every touch of ill: In thine own service make us glad and free, And grant us nevermore to part with thee. Amen.

O Holy Father, who in tender love

Author: Bp. E. H. Bickersteth, 1825-1906 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Father, who in tender love Didst give Thine only Son for us to die, The while He pleads at Thy right hand above, We in One Spirit now with faith draw nigh, And, as we eat this Bread and drink this Wine, Plead His once offered Sacrifice Divine. 2 We are not worthy to be called Thy sons, Nor gather up the fragments of Thy feast; Yet look on us, Thy sorrowing contrite ones, On us in Him our Advocate and Priest, Whose robe is fringed with mercy's golden bells, Whose breastplate fathomless compassion tells. 3 O hear us, For Thou always hearest Him; Behold us sprinkled with His precious blood; And from between the shadowing cherubim Shine forth, and grant us in this heavenly food Foretastes of coming glory, and meanwhile A Father's blessing and a Father's smile. 4 Nor only, Father, in Thy presence here Low at Thy footstool for ourselves we pray, But for the loved ones to our hearts most near At home or toiling in far lands away; O guard them, guide them, comfort and befriend, And keep them Thine unfaltering to the end. 5 And, Father, ere we leave Thy mercy-throne, Bound by these sacred pledges, yet most free, We give our hearts, and not our hearts alone, But all we are and all we have to thee; Glad free-will offerings all our pilgrim days, Hereafter an eternity of praise.

Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed

Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed, for all who suffer for the gospel's sake, that Christ may show us how to serve them best in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake. But how much more than us they have to give, who by their dying show us how to live! 2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait, as Jesus waited in the olive grove, the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate, the world's contempt for reconciling love. Shall all they won for us, at such a cost, be by our negligence or weakness lost? 3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare what sort we are, who call ourselves his own, we may be counted worthy then to wear, with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown: the crown that in his saints he wears again the crown of thorns that signifies his reign.

Our God and Father mindful of the love

Author: William Bright Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Our God and Father mindful of the love That bought us, once for all, on Calvary’s tree, We join our wills with His, who reigns above, And, for His kingdom, here present to Thee That only offering welcome in Thine eyes, Ourselves,—perforce a willing sacrifice. 2 Look, Father, look on His anointed face, And look on us as dedicate to Him; Look not on our misusings of Thy grace, Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim; For lo, between our sins and their reward We set Thy love revealed in Christ, our Lord. 3 And then for those, our dearest and our best, By these, Thy heartening tokens, we appeal; O fold them closer to Thy mercy’s breast, O do Thin utmost for their souls’ true weal; From tainting mischief keep them white and clear, And crown Thy gifts with grace to persevere. 4 And not for them alone, O Lord, we plead, But for the world Thou gav’st Thyself to win; Prepare us by this feast to meet its need, To succor weakness and to conquer sin; In this Thy service make us glad and free, And grant us never more to part with Thee.

Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake To guide the future as he has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be for ever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Amen.
