I know not where the road will lead

Author: Evelyn Atwater Cummins, 1891-1971 Hymnal: EH1982 #647 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I know not where the road will lead I follow day by day, or where it ends: I only know I walk the King's highway. I know not if the way is long, and no one else can say; but rough or smooth, up hill or down, I walk the King's highway. 2 And some I love have reached the end, but some with me may stay, their faith and hope still guiding me: I walk the King's highway. The way is truth, the way is love, for light and strength I pray, and through the years of life, to God I walk the King's highway. 3 The countless hosts lead on before, I must not fear nor stray; with them, the pilgrims of the faith, I walk the King's highway. Through light and dark the road leads on till dawns the endless day, when I shall know why in this life I walk the King's highway. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: LARAMIE

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

Author: Anon. Hymnal: EH1982 #689 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me; it was not I that found, O Savior true; no, I was found of thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea; 'twas not so much that I on thee took hold, as thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love, but oh, the whole of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee; for thou wert long beforehand with my soul, always thou lovedst me.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: EH1982 #692 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; and in your weariness lay down your head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, and he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give the living water; thirsty one, stoop down and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; look unto me, your morn shall rise, and all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my Star, my Sun; and in that light of life I'll walk till pilgrim days are done. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE

I believe in one God, Father Almighty

Hymnal: EH1982 #S103 (1985) Lyrics: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

"I come," the great Redeemer cries

Hymnal: EH1982 #116 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. "I come," the great Redeemer cries, "To do thy will, O Lord!" At Jordan's stream, behold! He seals the sure prophetic word. 2. "Thus it becomes to fulfill all righteousness," he said. Then, faithful to the Lord's commands, through Jordan's flood was led. 3. Hark, a glad voice! The Father speaks from heaven's exalted height: "This is my Son, my well-beloved in whom I take delight." 4. The Savior Jesus, well-beloved! His Name we will profess, like him desirous to fulfill God's will in righteousness. 5. No more we'll count ourselves our own but his in bonds of love. Oh, may such bonds for ever draw our souls to things above! Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT

I sing a song of the saints of God

Author: Lesbia Scott, b. 1898 Hymnal: EH1982 #293 (1985) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1. I sing a song of the saints of God, patient and brave and true, who toiled and fought and lived and died for the Lord they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen, and one was a shepherdess on the green: they were all of them saints of God—and I mean, God helping, to be one too. 2. They loved their Lord so dear, so dear, and his love made them strong; and they followed the right, for Jesus' sake, the whole of their good lives long. And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast: and there's not any reason, no, not the least, why I shouldn't be one too. 3. They lived not only in ages past, there are hundreds of thousands still, the world is bright with the joyous saints who love to do Jesus' will. You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea, in church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea, for the saints of God are just folk like me, and I mean to be one too.

I come with joy to meet my Lord

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: EH1982 #304 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. I come with joy to meet my Lord, forgiven, loved, and free, in awe and wonder to recall his life laid down for me. 2. I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. 3. As Christ breaks bread and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4. And thus with joy we meet our Lord. His presence, always near, is in such friendship better known: we see and praise him here. 5. Together met, together bound, we'll go our different ways and as his people in the world we'll live and speak his praise. Topics: Holy Eucharist Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST

I bind unto myself today

Author: Patrick, 372-466; Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: EH1982 #370 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three. 2 I bind this day to me for ever, by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation; his baptism in the Jordan river; his death on cross for my salvation; his bursting from the spiced tomb; his riding up the heavenly way; his coming at the day of doom: I bind unto myself today. 3 I bind unto myself the power of the great love of cherubim; the sweet "Well done" in judgment hour; the service of the seraphim; confessors' faith, apostles' word, the patriarchs' prayers, the prophets' scrolls; all good deeds done unto the Lord, and purity of virgin souls. 4 I bind unto myself today the virtues of the starlit heaven the glorious sun's life-giving ray, the whiteness of the moon at even, the flashing of the lightning free, the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks, the stable earth, the deep salt sea, around the old eternal rocks. 5 I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken, to my need; the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard. 6 Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 7 I bind unto myself the Name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word: praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. Topics: The Holy Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ST.

I sing the almighty power of God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: EH1982 #398 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I sing the almighty power of God, that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord, that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye, if I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky! 3 There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes thy glories known; and clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from thy throne; while all that borrows life from thee is ever in thy care, and everywhere that I could be, thou, God, art present there.
