I Bind unto Myself Today

Author: C. F. Alexander Appears in 68 hymnals Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today The strong name of the Trinity, By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three. 2 I bind this day to me forever, By power of faith, Christ’s incarnation; His baptism in the Jordan river; His death on cross for my salvation; His bursting from the spiced tomb; His riding up the heav'nly way; His coming at the day of doom: I bind unto myself today. 3 I bind unto myself the power Of the great love of cherubim; The sweet "Well done" in judgment hour; The service of the seraphim; Confessors' faith, apostles' word, The patriachs' prayers, the prophets' scrolls; All good deeds done unto the Lord, And purity of virgin souls. 4 I bind unto myself today The virtues of the starlit heav'n, The glorious sun’s life-giving ray, The whiteness of the moon at ev'n, The flashing of the lightning free, The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks, The stable earth, the deep salt sea, Around the old eternal rocks. 5 I bind unto myself today The power of God to hold and lead, His s eye to watch, his might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need; The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide his shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heav'nly host to be my guards. 6 Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 7 I bind unto myself the Name, The strong Name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word; Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord!

This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas His hand the wonders wrought. 2 This is my Father's world, The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. 3 This is our Father's world, O let us not forget That though the wrong is great and strong, God is our Father yet. He trusts us with His world, To keep it clean and fair, All earth and trees, all skies and seas, All creatures everywhere. Topics: The Goodness and Providence of God Used With Tune: MERCER STREET

God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Author: Catherine Cameron Appears in 45 hymnals Person Name: Catherine Cameron First Line: God, who stretched the spangled heavens Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, Infinite in time and place, Flung the suns in burning radiance Through the silent fields of space, We Thy children, in Thy likeness, Share inventive powers with Thee: Great Creator, still creating, Teach us what we yet may be. 2 Proudly rise our modern cities, Stately buildings, row on row; Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, Stare on canyoned streets below, Where the lonely drift unnoticed In the city's ebb and flow, Lost to purpose and to meaning, Scarcely caring where they go. 3 We have conquered worlds undreamed of Since the childhood of our race; Known the ecstasy of winging Through untraveled realms of space; Probed the secrets of the atom, Yielding unimagined power, Facing us with life's destruction Or our most triumphant hour. 4 As Thy new horizons beckon, Father, give us strength to be Children of creative purpose, Thinking Thy thoughts after Thee, Till our dreams are rich with meaning, Each endeavor, Thy design: Great Creator, lead us onward, Till our work is one with Thine.

Where thou art not, man hath naught, Nothing good in deed or thought, Nothing free from taint of ill. 4 Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour Thy dew; Wash the stains of guilt away: Bend the stubborn heart and will; Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go astray. 5 On the faithful, who adore And confess thee, evermore In thy sev'nfold gift descend; Give them virtue's sure reward; Give them Thy salvation, Lord; Give them joys that never end.
