Fold to your heart your sister and your brother
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-92 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Scripture: James 3:13-18 Lyrics: 1 Fold to your heart your sister and your brother:
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly and to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 For he whom Jesus loved has truly spoken:
the holier worship which he deigns to bless
restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
and feeds the widow and the fatherless.
3 Follow with reverent steps the great example
of him whose holy work was doing good:
so shall the wide earth seem our father's temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall: the stormy clangour
of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

The wisdom Thou alone canst give;

How sure is joy for all who turn
To Thee an undivided heart.

To lift our burdened hearts above,
And count the very cross a gain,
And bless our Father's hidden love.

All earthly scenes shall pass away,
In Thee to find the open gate
To deathless home and endless day.

O God, My Faithful God
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: James 3:13-18 Lyrics: 1 O God, my faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
without whom nothing is,
all perfect gifts bestowing,
grant me a faithful life,
and give me, Lord, within,
commitment free from strife,
a soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant me strength to do
with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling;
and do it when I ought,
with zeal and joyfulness;
and bless the work I've wrought,
for you must give success.
3 Keep me from saying words
that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when, within my place,
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace,
lest I offend the weak.
4 When dangers gather round,
still keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems bleak and cheerless,
to overcome my foes
with words and actions kind;
O God, your will disclose,
your counsel let me find.

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds
Author: Henry H. Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: James 3:17 First Line: Eternal God, whose pow'r upholds Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flow'r and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown,
O send us forth as prophets true,
To make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And rev'rent souls adore,
Who lightest every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore,
Dispel the gloom of error’s night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life’s pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart,
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our hearts to Thee,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free.
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Thy Son,
Whose life and death reveal Thy face,
By whom Thy will was done,
Inspire Thy heralds of good news
To live Thy life divine,
Till Christ has formed in all mankind
And every land is Thine!
Amen. Topics: Arts and Artists; God the Father Majesty and Power Used With Tune: PILGRIM
