Be present, blessed Father, To give away this bride
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #748 (1873) Person Name: Anon. Lyrics: 1 Be present, blessed Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side.
2 Be present, Son of Mary!
To join their loving hands,
As thou didst join two natures
In thine eternal bands.

As thou for Christ the Bridegroom
The heavenly Spouse dost seal. Topics: The Christian Family The Wedding; Invocation

The hallowed path they trace.

With Christ's own Bride they rise. Topics: The Christian Family The Wedding; Benedictory

With poverty and woe,
My widowed feet are doomed to stray
'Mid thorny paths below.
2 Be thou, O Lord, my Father still,
My confidence and guide:
I know that perfect is thy will,
Whate'er that will decide.
3 I know the soul that trusts in thee
Thou never wilt forsake;
And though a bruised reed I be,
That reed thou wilt not break.
4 Then keep me, Lord, where'er I go,
Support me on my way,
Though, worn with poverty and woe,
My widowed footsteps stray.
5 To give my weakness strength, O God,
Thy staff shall yet avail;
And though thou chasten with thy rod,
That staff shall never fail. Topics: The Christian Family Widowhood and Orphanage; The Widow's Prayer

A place for calm repose?
Thou, Father of the fatherless,
Pity the orphan's woes!

What Friend to trust but thee?
My father's dead, my mother's dead;
My God, remember me!
3 Thy gracious promise now fulfill,
And bid my trouble cease;
In thee the fatherless shall find
Pure mercy, grace, and peace.

Loud, still louder swell the strain--
Peace on earth, good-will to men!

A home of peace, a resting-place
For earth's oppressed, down-trodden race.

Wisdom to guide and power to do;
Around him place, in posts of trust,
Men who are honest, firm, and just.

Be filled with men whom duty calls,--
Unselfish, patriotic, pure,
To right and country ever sure.

The rights of all, both high and low;
So shall our land from flood to flood,
Be that blest land whose King is God. Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism; Prayer for the Country
God grant a blessing on this land!
Children of a free-born race
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #794 (1873) Person Name: Anon. Lyrics: 1 Children of a free-born race,
Happy in your dwelling-place,
As your blessings ye retrace,
Think from whence they flow:
Think of that Creative Hand,
Author of the sea and land,
By whose power the nations stand
In their weal or woe.
2 Here are freedom, health, and peace;
Here oppression's surges cease;
Streams of knowledge here increase,
Deepening far and wide:
Science here her tribute pours,
Industry collects her stores,
Wealth flows in from foreign shores
Like a swelling tide.
3 Here, religion undefiled,
With an influence pure and mild,
Reaches to the humblest child,
E'en from door to door:
Let us then our offerings bring,
Thanks unto the heavenly King;
From the heart his praises sing
Now and evermore. Topics: The Christian Nation Patriotism; A Favored Land
Children of a free-born race
Nature hath seasons of repose
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #804 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Anon. Lyrics: 1 Nature hath seasons of repose;
Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky;
And many a bright-faced stream that flows
Onward for ever noiselessly.
2 The stormy winds are hushed to rest,
And hang self-poised upon their wings;
And, nursed on mother nature's breast,
Sweet flowers lie like sleeping things.
3 The ocean, that in mountains ran,
Spreads boundlessly without a wave;
And is it only said of man,
His peace is in the gloomy grave?
4 Oh, for the coming of the end,
The last long Sabbath-day of time,
When peace from heaven shall descend
Like heaven's own light, on every clime.
5 When men in ships far off at sea
Shall hear the happy nations raise
The song of peace and liberty,
The chant of overflowing praise.
6 Mankind shall be one brotherhood;
One human soul shall fill the earth;
And God shall say, The world is good,
As in the day I gave it birth. Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood; The World's Unity
Nature hath seasons of repose
Come to the ark, come to the ark
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #840 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Anon. Lyrics: 1 Come to the ark, come to the ark;
To Jesus come away:
The pestilence walks forth by night,
The arrows fly by day.
2 Come to the ark: the waters rise,
The seas their billows rear;
While darkness gathers o'er the skies,
Behold a refuge near!
3 Come to the ark, all, all that weep
Beneath the sense of sin:
Without, deep calleth unto deep,
But all is peace within.
4 Come to the ark, ere yet the flood
Your lingering steps oppose;
Come, for the door which open stood
Is now about to close. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises; The Ark of Safety
Come to the ark, come to the ark
