O Thou Who madest land and sea

Author: G. Thring Hymnal: HPEC1917 #276 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless."

Thou Who with dying lips

Author: E. Wiglesworth Hymnal: HPEC1917 #277a (1898) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 Thou Who with dying lips Thy mother didst commend Unto the tender care Of Thy belovèd friend; Thou Who by Lazarus' grave In human grief didst groan, Turn, Lord, Thine eyes on those Left in the world alone. 2 Thou Who didst call Thy twelve Their home and friends to leave, And in Thy kingdom all, Yea, more than all, receive, To those bereft of all, Thy pitying love extend, And let them find in Thee Father, and home and friend. 3 Thou Who didst say of old, "Thine orphans led to Me; Unto the fatherless, I will a Father be," Thy promises are sure; Help us to trust Thee still; To those who need Thee sore, That faithful word fulfill. 4 Thou Who in Thy still rest Our dear ones safe dost keep; Thou Who shalt bring them back One day from their long sleep, Oh, keep us by Thy grace, That we at last may be, When that bright morning dawns, At home with them and Thee.

O Lord, our strength in weakness

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: HPEC1917 #278a (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness, We pray to Thee for grace; For power to fight the battle, For speed to run the race; When Thy baptismal waters Were poured upon our brow, We then were made Thy children, And pledged our earliest vow; 2 We then were sealed and hallowed By Thy life-giving word; Were made the Spirit's temple, And members of the Lord; With His own blood He bought us, And made the purchase sure; His are we: may He keep us Sober, and chaste, and pure. 3 Conformed to His own likeness May we so live and die, That in the grave our bodies In holy peace may lie; And at the resurrection Forth from those graves may spring, Like to the glorious body Of Christ, our Lord and King. 4 The pure in heart are blessèd, For they shall see the Lord Forever and forever By seraphim adored; And they shall drink the pleasures, Such as no tongue can tell, From the clear crystal river, And life's eternal well.

When, doom'd to death, the Apostle lay

Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: HPEC1917 #279a (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay At night in Herod's dungeon cell, A light shone round him like the day, And from his limbs the fetters fell. 2 A messenger from God was there, To break his chain and bid him rise; And lo! the saint, as free as air, Walked forth beneath the open skies. 3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind The victim of that deadly thirst Which drowns the soul, and from the mind Blots the bright image stamped at first. 4 O God of love and mercy, deign To look on those with pitying eye Who struggle with that fatal chain, And send them succor from on high! 5 Send down, in its resistless might, Thy gracious Spirit, we implore, And lead the captive forth to light, A rescued soul, a slave no more!

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons

Author: D. Wortman Hymnal: HPEC1917 #280a (1898) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons: Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger than the last! 2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attend To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son: Theirs, not a jewelled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace: Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stand at last with joy before Thy face. 6 O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn: A weary world awaits Thy reign sublime! Amen. Topics: Divinity Schools Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

Author: B. Barton Hymnal: HPEC1917 #281a (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heavenly grace, Brook by the traveller's way; 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed; True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay: 4 Word of the everlasting God, Will of His glorious Son; Without thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts, Must to its heavenly teaching turn With simple, childlike hearts.
