O that the Lord Would Guide My Ways

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #441 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways To keep His statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace To know and do His will! 2 Order my footsteps by Thy Word And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear. 3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray, A stricter watch to keep; And should I e'er forget Thy way, Restore Thy wand'ring sheep. 4 Make me to walk in Thy commands, A most delightful road; Nor let my head or heart or hands Offend against my God.

King of Glory, King of Peace

Author: G. Herbert, 1593-1633 Hymnal: ELH1996 #442 (1996) Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace, I will love Thee; And that love may never cease, I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me. 2 Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee; And the cream of all my heart, I will bring Thee. Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me; And alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me. 3 Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise Thee; In my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort To enroll Thee; E'en eternity's too short To extol Thee. Topics: Trinity 9 Languages: English Tune Title: GENERAL SEMINARY

Take my lips and let them be Filled with messages from Thee. 4 Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect and use Ev'ry pow'r as Thou shalt choose. 5 Take my will and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne. 6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all, for Thee.

We Give Thee But Thine Own

Author: W. W. How, 1823-97 Hymnal: ELH1996 #445 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give! 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be: Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.

What Is the World to Me

Author: G. M. Pferfferkorn, 1645-1732; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: ELH1996 #446 (1996) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 What is the world to me With all its vaunted pleasure When Thou, and Thou alone, Lord Jesus, art my Treasure! Thou only, dearest Lord, My soul's Delight shalt be; Thou art my Peace, my Rest. What is the world to me! 2 The world is like a cloud And like a vapor fleeting, A shadow that declines, Swift to its end retreating. My Jesus doth abide, Though all things fade and flee; My everlasting Rock. What is the world to me! 3 The world seeks to be praised And honored by the mighty, Yet never once reflects That they are frail and flighty. But what I truly prize Above all things is He, My Jesus, He alone. What is the world to me! 4 The world seeks after wealth And all that Mammon offers, Yet never is content Though gold should fill it coffers. I have a higher good, Content with it I'll be: My Jesus is my Wealth. What is the world to me! 5 The world is sorely grieved Whenever it is slighted Or when its hollow fame And honor have been blighted. Christ, Thy reproach I bear Long as it pleaseth Thee; I'm honored by my Lord. What is the world to me! 6 The world with wanton pride Exalts its sinful pleasures And for them foolishly Gives up the heav'nly treasures. Let others love the world With all its vanity; I love the Lord, my God. What is the world to me! 7 The world abideth not; Lo, like a flash 'twill vanish; With all its gorgeous pomp Pale death it cannot banish; Its riches pass away, And all its joys must flee; But Jesus doth abide. What is the world to me! 8 What is the world to me! My Jesus is my Treasure, My Life, my Health, my Wealth, My Friend, my Love, my Pleasure, My Joy, my Crown, my All, My Bliss eternally. Once more, then, I declare: What is the world to me! Topics: Trinity 9 Languages: English Tune Title: WAS FRAG ICH NACH DER WELT

Almighty Father, Heaven and Earth

Author: E. A. Dayrnan, 1807-90 Hymnal: ELH1996 #447 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Almighty Father, heav'n and earth Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, heav'n and earth With lavish wealth before Thee bow; Those treasures owe to Thee their birth, Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou. 2 The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea, The gold, the silver, sparkling gem, The waving corn, the bending tree, Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them. 3 To Thee, as early morning's dew, Our praises, alms, and prayers shall rise As rose, when joyous earth was new, Faith's patriarchal sacrifice. 4 We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest The costliest off'rings on Thy shrine; But when we give, and give our best, We give Thee only what is Thine. 5 O Father, whence all blessings come; O Son, Dispenser of God's store; O Spirit, bear our off'rings home: Lord, make them Thine forevermore.

I Will Sing My Maker's Praises

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: ELH1996 #448 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises And in Him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of His tender love to me. Nothing else than love could move Him With such sweet and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love Him. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 2 Yea, so dear did He esteem me That His Son He loved so well He hath given to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Thou Spring of boundless blessing, How could e'er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find Though my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor of that is He unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my pow'rs can do no more, Doth my God His strength outpour; In my need He doth not fail me. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 4 When I sleep, He still is near me, O'er me rests His guardian eye; And new gifts and blessings cheer me When the morning streaks the sky. Were it not for God's protection, Had His countenance not been Here my Guide, I had not seen E'er the end of my affliction. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 5 As a father never turneth Wholly from a wayward child, For the prodigal still yearneth, Longing to be reconciled, So my many sins and errors Find a tender, pard'ning God, Chast'ning frailty with His rod, Not in vengeance, with His terrors. All things else have but their day, God's great love abides for aye. 6 Since, then, neither change nor coldness In my Father's love can be, Lo! I lift my hands with boldness, As Thy child I come to Thee. Grant me grace, O God, I pray Thee, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust Thee and obey Thee And, when this brief life is o'er, Praise and love Thee evermore.

Thy Love, O Gracious God and Lord

Author: T. H. Kingo, 1634-1703; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: ELH1996 #449 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Thy love, O gracious God and Lord, All other loves excelling, Attunes my heart to sweet accord, And passes pow'r of telling; For when Thy wondrous love I see, My heart yields glad submission; I love Thee for Thy love to me In my poor, lost condition. 2 Yea, Thou hast loved our fallen race, And rather than condemn us, Cast out and banish from Thy face Thine only Son didst send us; Who died upon the cross, that we Should all be saved for ever; Hence Jesus also died for me, My soul, forget it never. 3 Thy love, O God, embraces all, And Jesus' merits cover The guilt of all, both great and small, The world of sinners over. Thy Spirit doth Thy light afford To all who will receive it, And from Thy knowledge bars Thy Word No soul who will believe it. 4 But what hath moved Thee, gracious Lord? Why is Thine heart still yearning Since the great world rejects Thy Word, Thy love and mercy spurning? For men go on in sin each day, In carnal-minded blindness, And O how few Thy call obey And heed Thy lovingkindness! 5 In us no beauty Thou couldst see, And no intrinsic merit; We all were poor--but misery And sin we did inherit. We wandered each a different path, And in our lost condition, By nature children of His wrath, Whom sin doomed to perdition. 6 Our virtues and our own good deeds With God cannot avail us; With these the enemy misleads, Such righteousness shall fail us; Our will and strength and soul are dead In evil inclination; Christ Jesus has the ransom paid, And gained for us salvation. 7 O gracious God, Thy loving heart Was full of sweet compassion; And felt our woe and desp'rate smart, And planned our restoration; Thy grace and justice found a way To save us from death's horror; And everlasting judgment stay, And give us joy for sorrow. 8 On Christ, the rock, I'm anchored fast, By faith in Him remaining; I'll weather ev'ry stormy blast, My peace of soul retaining; On Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, My ever firm foundation, Until the harbor bar is crossed, And I see God's salvation. 9 O Jesus, at my dying breath Hold Thou my hand securely, And may I in a living faith Hold fast to Thee most surely; That my last prayer to Thee may rise, My soul to Thee commending, And I shall find in Paradise The joys of life unending.
