This is My Father's World

Author: Maltbie D. Babcock Hymnal: CH1995 #59 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D 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: I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas his hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father's world: the birds their carols raise; the morning light, the flowers bright, declare their Maker's praise. Our God has made this world and shines in all that's fair; in the rustling grass I hear God pass, who speaks to me everywhere. 3 Our God has made this world: oh, let us ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. God trusts us with this world, to keep it clean and fair. All earth and trees, the skies and seas, God's creatures everywhere.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: CH1995 #73 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good! There is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we would rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of the Lord.

The Care the Eagle Gives Her Young

Author: R. Deane Postlethwaite Hymnal: CH1995 #76 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The care the eagle gives her young, safe in her lofty nest, is like the tender love of God for us made manifest. 2 As when the time to venture comes, she stirs them out to flight, so we are pressed to boldly try, to strive for daring height. 3 And if we flutter helplessly, as fledgling eagles fall, beneath us lift God's mighty wings to bear us, one and all.

'Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: CH1995 #194 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ’Tis midnight, and on Olive’s brow the star is dimmed that lately shone; ’tis midnight, in the garden now the suffering Savior prays alone. 2 ’Tis midnight, and from all removed, the Savior wrestles lone with fears; e’en that disciple whom he loved heeds not the Savior’s grief and tears. 3 ’Tis midnight, and for others’ guilt the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood; yet he that has in anguish knelt is not forsaken by his God. 4 ’Tis midnight, and from heavenly plains is borne the song that angels know; unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe.
