To trust their God and serve Him still,
And do, in all, His holy will.
3 O blest the parents who give heed
Unto their children's foremost need,
And weary not of care or cost:
To them and heaven shall none be lost.

In peace and joy the parents dwell,
And in their children's lot is shown
How richly God can bless His own.

A solemn cov'nant make and say:
Though all the world forsake Thy Word,
I and my house will serve the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: WHEN IN THE HOUR OF UTMOST NEED

Thus did pious Abraham pray
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #657 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Parents and Children; Parents' Prayer for their Children. O that Ishmael might live before thee Lyrics: 1 Thus did pious Abraham pray
For his beloved son:
Let parents in the present day
His language make their own.
2 Tho' they with God in cov'nant be,
And have their heav'n in view;
They are unhappy till they see
Their children happy too.
3 They warn, indulge, correct, beseech,
While tears in torrents flow;
And 'tis beyond the pow'r of speech
To tell the griefs they know.
4 See the fond father clasp his child;
Hark! how his bowels move:
"Shalt thou, my offspring, be exil'd
From God my Father's love?
5 Shall cruel spirits drag thee down
To darkness and despair;
Beneath th'Almighty's angry frown,
To dwell for ever there?
6 Kind heaven, the dreadful scene forbid!
Look down, dear Lord, and bless;
I'll wrestle hard, as Jacob did--
May I obtain success?" Scripture: Genesis 17:18
Thus did pious Abraham pray

In one eternal Home. Scripture: Romans 11:16-17 Languages: English

The best of friends is He,
And follow ev’ry day and hour
His footsteps faithfully.

No other friend would do for you
What Jesus Christ has done.

For wisdom from above;
And to His lowly parents was
Obedient in true love.

For Him to touch and bless,

“O suffer ev’ry little child
To come and be with Me;
Forbid them not, for verily,
Theirs shall my kingdom be!”

Divine Retribution for Evil
Hymnal: The Psalter #300 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parents and Children First Line: O God, Whom I delight to praise Lyrics: 1 O God, Whom I delight to praise,
To Thee my cry for help I raise;
Be Thou my friend and advocate
When foes assail with bitter hate.
2 Against me sland'rous words are flung
From many a false and lying tongue;
Without a cause men hurl at me
The shafts of deadly enmity.
3 My good with evil they repay,
My love turns not their hate away;
The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine,
To pray, and only pray, is mine.
4 Since love appeals to him in vain,
The slave of sin let him remain;
Against him let his foe be turned,
His sin be judge, his prayer be spurned.
5 Let sudden death upon him break,
His office let another take,
His children and his widowed wife
Pursue the homeless beggar's life.
6 Let creditors consume his toil
And strangers make his wealth their spoil;
Let none in pity heed his claim,
Cut off his race, blot out his name.
7 His parents' sins be not forgot
Till Thou from earth his memory blot,
Since he remembered not to show
Compassion to the sons of woe.
8 He cursing loved and blessing loathed;
Unblest, with cursing he is clothed;
For thus the justice of the Lord
My adversaries will reward.
9 O God, the Lord, for Thy Name's sake
Let me of Thy good grace partake;
My need is great, and great Thou art
To heal my wounded, stricken heart.
10 With failing strength I fast and pine,
Like shadows swift my days decline,
And when my foes my weakness see
They shake the head in scorn at me.
11 O Lord my God, Thy help I crave,
In Thy great loving-kindness save;
Before my foes Thy mercy show;
That Thou dost help me make them know.
12 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless?
Then joy shall banish my distress,
And shame shall overwhelm the foes
Who would Thy servant's way oppose.
13 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise,
The multitude shall hear my praise,
For by the needy God will stand
To save them from oppression's hand. Scripture: Psalm 109 Languages: English Tune Title: MEROE

Shepherd of tender youth

Shepherd of tender youth
One human pair, and only one
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #13 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Parents and family of mankind Lyrics:
One human pair, and only one,
Were form'd in youthful prime,
All else that e'er beheld the sun,
Were children in their time.
14
For each a mother's pangs were borne,
And many a father's eye
Wept o'er his infant born to mourn,
His infant born to die.
With millions life was but a spark,
Extinct as soon as fired;
Others, just glancing from the dark,
Wept, smiled, look'd round, retired.
Millions and millions more have pass'd
Life's various pilgrimage,
While Death at all his arrows cast,
And slew of every age.
Of these what multitudes untold
Have never known their God,
But blind, and ignorant, and bold,
In paths of ruin trod.
What guiltier multitudes have known,
Yet scorn'd Him or denied,
Lived to themselves and sin alone;
And as they lived they died.
We may not wander like the first;
Then, lest we share the lot
Of those more awfully accurst,
Who knew, but loved, Him not,--
May we hold fast the faithful word,
Our future time redeem,
Live, while we live, unto the Lord,
Die, when we die, to Him.

Hymnal: The Psalter #121 (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Parents and Children First Line: O God, we have heard and our fathers have told Lyrics: 1 O God, we have heard and our fathers have told
What wonders Thou didst in the great days of old;
The nations were crushed and expelled by Thy hand,
Cast out that Thy people might dwell in their land.
2 They gained not the land by the edge of the sword,
Their own arm to them could no safety afford,
But Thy right hand saved, and the light of Thy face,
Because of Thy favor and wonderful grace.
3 Command, and Thy word shall deliverance bring,
O God, to Thy chosen, for Thou art our King;
Thro' Thee we will surely defeat all our foes,
Thro' Thy name will triumph o'er those that oppose.
4 No trust will I place in my strength to defend,
Nor yet on my sword as a safeguard depend;
In Thee, Who hast saved us and put them to shame,
We boast all the day, ever praising Thy Name.

Great honor shall be shown;
The rich shall bring their gifts to thee
Thy glory they shall own.

All glorious thou shalt dwell,
With garments fair, in-wrought with gold,
The Church He loveth well.
5 And they that honor thee
Shall in thy train attend;
And to the palace of the King
Shall joyfully ascend.
6 O King of royal race,
Thy sons of heavenly birth
Thou wilt endow with kingly gifts
As princes in the earth.
7 Thy name shall be proclaimed
Through all succeeding days,
And all the nations of the earth
Shall give Thee endless praise. Scripture: Psalm 45 Languages: English Tune Title: GERAR

nor be with sorrow filled?

With loving and adoring tho't,
We contemplate Thy grace, O God,
And all Thy deeds with mercy fraught.

Where'er Thy glorious fame extends,
There also is Thy praise proclaimed,
Far as the earth's remotest ends.
3 Thy hand is full of righteousness;
Let Zion's gladness then be great,
And let her daughters sing for joy
And all Thy judgments celebrate.
4 Encompass Zion, count her tow'rs,
And mark her strong defenses well;
Consider all her palaces,
And to your sons her glory tell.
5 This mighty God forever lives
Our God and Saviour to abide,
And till our pilgrim days shall end
Will ever be our faithful guide. Scripture: Psalm 48 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JOHN'S HIGHLANDS
