As with his love he befriends you.

A little child the Saviour came
Author: William Robertson (1820-1864) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Baptism Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came,
the mighty God was still his name,
and angels worshipped as he lay
the seeming infant of a day.
2 He who, a little child, began
to show the world God's loving plan,
proclaims from heaven the message free,
'Let little children come to me.'
3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
of sprinkled water name them thine:
their souls with saving grace endow;
baptize them with thy Spirit now.
4 O give thine angels charge, good Lord,
them safely in thy way to guard;
thy blessing on their lives command,
and write their names upon thy hand.
5 O thou, who by an infant's tongue
dost hear thy perfect glory sung,
may these, with all the heavenly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Scripture: Isaiah 49:15-16 Used With Tune: COMMANDMENTS

And gracious to the meek;
He saved me when I cried to Him,
Tho' I was poor and weak.
4 Return unto thy rest, my soul,
No longer troubled be;
The Lord sustains thee, and has dealt
Most graciously with thee.
5 Before my Saviour I will live,
From death He saved my soul,
My eyes from tears, my feet from falls,
And He has made me whole.

That human help deceived,
But ever faithful was the Lord
In Whom my soul believed. Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: AZMON

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,236 hymnals Topics: Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest Entrance Song Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2 Beneath the shadow of your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all our years away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray

that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Used With Tune: SONG 1
O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
