by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,

back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.

Almighty Father of all things that be
Author: Ernest Edward Dugmore (1843-1925) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:20 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father of all things that be,
our life, our work we consecrate to thee,
whose heavens declare thy glory from above,
whose earth below is witness to thy love.

is yet thine own by right of its new birth,
since that great cross upreared on Calvary
redeemed it from its fault and shame to thee.

the purple valleys flecked with silver rills,
the ocean glistening 'neath the golden rays:
they all are thine, and voiceless speak thy praise.
4 Thou dost the strength to worker's arms impart;
from thee the skilled musician's reasoned art,
the grace of poet's pen or painter's hand
to teach the loveliness of sea and land.
5 Then grant us, Lord, in all things thee to own,
to dwell within the shadow of thy throne,
to speak and work, to think and live, and move,
reflecting thine own nature, which is love:
6 That so, by Christ redeemed from sin and shame,
and hallowed by thy Spirit's cleansing flame,
ourselves, our work, and all our powers may be
a sacrifice acceptable to thee. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Dedication; Arts and Creativity; Beauty; Offering of self; Work and Leisure Used With Tune: CHILTON FOLIAT

se entrega en los brazos de un sueño traidor;
Mas para los siervos del buen Salvador,
velar esperando es su anhelo mejor.
