Sing to the Lord a joyful song
He Wants Not Friends That Hath Thy Love
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2289 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. He wants not friends that hath Thy love,
And may converse and walk with Thee;
And with Thy saints here and above,
With whom forever I must be.
2. In the communion of the saints
Is wisdom, safety and delight;
And, when my heart declines and faints,
It’s raised by their heat and light.
3. As for my friends, they are not lost;
The several vessels of Thy fleet,
Though parted now, by tempests tossed,
Shall safely in the haven meet.
4. Still we are centered all in Thee,
Members, though distant, of one head;
In the same family we be,
By the same faith and Spirit led.
5. Before Thy throne we daily meet
As joint petitioners to Thee;
In spirit we each other greet,
And shall again each other see.
6. The heav’nly hosts, world without end,
Shall be my company above;
And Thou, my best and surest Friend,
Who shall divide me from Thy love? Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (Gibbons)
He Wants Not Friends That Hath Thy Love
Jesu, My Savior, Brother, Friend
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3372 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Jesu, my Savior, Brother, Friend,
On whom I cast my every care,
On whom for all things I depend,
Inspire, and then accept, my prayer.
2. If I have tasted of Thy grace,
The grace that sure salvation brings,
If with me now Thy Spirit stays,
And hovering hides me in His wings.
3. Still let Him with my weakness stay,
Nor for a moment’s space depart,
Evil and danger turn away,
And keep till He renews my heart.
4. When to the right or left I stray,
His voice behind me may I hear,
Return, and walk in Christ Thy way,
Fly back to Christ, for sin is near.
5. His sacred unction from above
Be still my Comforter and Guide;
Till all the hardness He remove,
And in my loving heart reside.
6. Jesus, I fain would walk in Thee,
From nature’s every path retreat;
Thou art my way, my leader be,
And set upon the rock my feet.
7. Uphold me, Savior, or I fall,
O reach me out Thy gracious hand
Only on Thee for help I call,
Only by faith in Thee I stand. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (Gibbons)

Now that the daylight fills the sky
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #45 (1973) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high,
That he, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm today;
2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife,
From anger's din would hide our life,
From all ill sights would turn our eyes,
And close our ears to vanities:
3 Would keep our inmost conscience pure,
Our souls from folly would secure,
Would bid us check the pride of sense
With due and holy abstinence.
4 So we, when this new day is gone
And night in turn is drawing on,
With conscience by the world unstained,
Shall praise his Name for victory gained. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (ANGELS' SONG)

24 My God, O take me not away

thy years throughout all ages last.

the earth’s foundation firm and fast:
thy mighty hands the heavens have made.
26 They perish shall, as garments do,
but thou shalt evermore endure;
as vestures, thou shalt change them so;
and they shall all be changed sure:
27 but from all changes thou art free;
thy endless years do last for aye.
28 Thy servants, and their seed who be,
established shall before thee stay. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34 (ANGELS' SONG)

Forth in Thy Name
Lord, thou has search'd me, and hast known
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P139c (2004) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast search’d me, and hast known
my rising up and laying down;
and from afar thy searching eye
beholds my thoughts that secret lie.
2 Thou know’st my path and lying down,
and all my ways to thee are known;
for in my tongue no word can be,
but, lo! O Lord, ‘tis known to thee.
3 Behind, before me, thou dost stand,
and lay on me thy mighty hand.
Such knowledge is for me too strange,
‘tis high beyond my utmost range.
4 O, whither shall my footsteps fly,
beyond thy Spirit’s searching eye?
To what retreat shall I repair,
and find not thy dread presence there?
5 If I to heaven shall ascend,
thy presence there will me attend;
if in the grave I make my bed,
lo! there I find thy presence dread.
6 If on the morning wings I flee,
and dwell in utmost parts of sea,
ev'n there thy hand shall guide my way,
and thy right hand shall be my stay.
7 Or if I say, to shun thine eye,
in shades of darkness I will lie,
around me then the very night
will shine as shines the noonday light.
8 From thee the shades can nought disguise;
the night is day before thine eyes;
the darkness is to thee as bright
as are the beams of noonday light.
9 My very reins belong to thee;
thou in the womb didst cover me;
and I to thee will praise proclaim,
for fearful, wondrous is my frame.
10 Thy works are wonderful, I know;
and when, in depths of earth below,
this complicated frame was made,
'twas all before thine eyes displayed.
11 My substance, yet unformed by thee,
thy searching eye did clearly see:
my days were written, every one,
within thy books, ere yet begun.
12 Thy thoughts, O God, to me are dear;
how vast their numbers do appear!
More than the sand my reckonings make;
I'm still with thee when I awake.
13 Thou wilt the wicked slay, O God;
depart from me, ye men of blood,
who speak to thee for ends profane,
thy foes who take thy name in vain.
14 Do not I hate thy haters, Lord?
and thy assailants hold abhorred?
A perfect hatred them I show,
and count each one to me a foe.
15 Search me, O God, my heart discern,
try me, my very thoughts to learn;
see if in evil paths I stray,
and guide me in the eternal way.

To see our brothers' good our own,
To joy and suffer not alone—

That useful labor yet may build
Its homes with love and laughter filled!
God, give your wayward children peace!

3 Preserve me from my calling's snare,
and hide my simple heart above,
above the thorns of choking care,
the gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee may I set at my right hand,
whose eyes my inmost substance see,
and labour on at thy command,
and offer all my works to thee.
5 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
and every moment watch and pray,
and still to things eternal look,
and hasten to thy glorious day;
6 For thee delightfully employ
whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given,
and run my course with even joy,
and closely walk with thee to heaven. Topics: Morning; Commitment; Discipleship; Future hope; Self-offering; Sending Out; The Third Sunday before Lent Year A; Vocation; Work Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34

Forth in Your name, O Lord, I go
The Word whom earth and sea and sky
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866; Anne K. LeCroy Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #766 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Word whom earth and sea and sky
adore and laud and magnify,
whose might they show, whose praise they tell,
in Mary's body deigned to dwell.
2 To Mary the archangel came
and God's new message did proclaim,
'Hail, Mary, you shall bear a son
who shall be called the Holy One.'
3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought,
blest in the work the Spirit wrought,
most blest to bring to human birth
the long-desired of all the earth.
4 Lord Jesus, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Annunciation Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34

Go Labor On
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #775 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Go, labor on; spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go labor on; spend and be spent--
Your joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go labor on; 'tis not for naught;
Your earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed you, love you, praise you not?
The Master praises--what are men?
3 Go labor on, while it is day,
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed your work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
4 Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in your toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight cry, "Behold, I come!"

Go Labor On
God Of Eternal Majesty
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11112 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of eternal majesty,
High as Thou art, from Heaven look down,
Holy, and just, we cry to Thee,
Behold us from Thy glorious throne!
2 Where is Thy strength to conquer sin?
Thy zeal to save a fallen race?
Thy bowels sounding from within?
Thy mercies, and Thy pardoning grace?
3 Thy pity, and paternal care,
The tender yearnings of Thy heart,
Are they restrained? Is fury there?
Ah no! Thou still our Father art.
4 Doubtless Thou art our Father still,
Though Abraham his seed disowns
Debased by sin, though Israel
Renounces his degenerate sons.
5 Our Lord, and our Redeemer now
Thou art, and will be still the same,
Our everlasting Father Thou;
Jehovah is Thy glorious name.
6 Why then, O Lord, if ours Thou art,
Why hast Thou suffered us to rove?
Withdrawn Thy Spirit from our heart,
And left us to our want of love?
7 Why hast Thou hid Thy lovely face,
And caused us from Thy paths to err?
Abandoned by restraining grace
Our hearts were hardened from Thy fear.
8 Yet, Lord, for Thee again we mourn,
Now let our prayers Thine aid engage,
Now for Thy servant’s sake return,
And cheer Thy drooping heritage.
9 The land we fondly deemed our own
(Alas, how short a time enjoyed!)
Our adversaries have o’erthrown,
And trampled on the house of God.
10 Yet we are Thine, though dispossessed,
And outcasts from the promised land,
They never have Thy sway confessed,
Or yielded to Thy just command.
11 We, we are called by Thy great name,
Accept our plea, Thine ear incline,
Thine, Lord, we are, renew Thy claim,
Receive, and seal us ever Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34
