To Thy Word I now give heed;

Jesus, may Thy Word of Life
Fill my soul with love's strong fervor
That I cling to Thee forever.

And to hearken to Thy voice!

Struck with terror by Thy Word;
But to him who for sin grieveth
Comfort sweet and hope it giveth.
3 Lord, Thy words are waters living
Where I quench my thirsty need;
Lord, Thy words are bread life-giving,
On Thy words my Soul doth feed.
Lord, Thy words shall be my light
Thro' death's vale and dreary night;
Yea, they are my sword prevailing
And my cup of joy unfailing.
4 Precious Jesus, I beseech Thee,
May Thy words take root in me;
May this gift from heav'n enrich me
So that I bear fruit for Thee!
Take them never from my heart
Till I see Thee as Thou art,
When in heav'nly bliss and glory
I shall greet Thee and adore Thee.

Sun, moon and stars, by day and night
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:8 Lyrics:
Sun, moon and stars, by day and night,
At God's commandment, give us light,
And when we wake, and while we sleep,
Their watch, like guardian angels, keep.
The bright blue sky above our head,
The soft green earth on which we tread,
The ocean rolling round the land,
Were made by God's almighty hand.
Sweet flowers that hill and dale adorn,
Fair fruit-trees, fields of grass and corn,
The clouds that rise, the showers that fall,
The winds that blow--God sends them all.
The beasts that graze with downward eye,
The birds that perch, and sing, and fly,
The fishes swimming in the sea,
God's creatures are as well as we.
But us He form'd for better things;--
As servants of the King of kings,
With lifted hands, and open face,
And thankful hearts, to seek his grace.
364
Thus God loved man, and more than thus,--
He sent his Son to die for us,
And now invites us, when we die,
To come and live with Him on high.
But we must live to Him below,
For none but such to heaven will go;--
Lord Jesus, hear our humble prayer,
And lead the little children there.

*Her calling now we recognize
with prayer and loving hands.
A servant leader, truthful friend,
we gladly will receive,
to stir and comfort, shake and mend,
be glad with us, and grieve.
3 Great Spirit, give *her word and breath
in Christ to live and speak,
and shield against the powers of death
the outcast and the weak,
*her flag of faith, above defeats,
in heaven's breeze unfurled,
as all her deepest gladness meets
the hunger of the world.

as a servant to his lord.
Let me show respect and honor
to your holy, precious Word,
that each day, my whole life through,
I may serve and follow you.
Let your Word e'er be my pleasure
and my heart's most precious treasure.
2 Oh, what blessing to be near you
and to listen to your voice;
let me ever love and fear you,
let your Word still be my choice!
Many hardened sinners, Lord,
flee in terror at your Word;
but to all who feel sin's burden
you give peace and words of pardon.
3 Lord, your words are waters living
where I quench my thirsty needs.
Lord, your words are bread life-giving;
on your words my spirit feeds.
Lord, your words will be my light
thro' death's cold and dreary night;
yes, they are my sword prevailing
and my cup of joy unfailing.
4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;
let your words in me take root.
May your Spirit e'er be near me
that I bear abundant fruit.
May I daily sing your praise,
from my heart glad anthems raise,
till my highest praise is given
in the endless joy of heaven. Topics: Word of God Used With Tune: WERDE MUNTER Text Sources: Tr. sts. 1, 4 Christian Worship, 1993
