Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing thee. 2 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 3 I ask thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at thy side, Content to fill a little space, If thou be glorified. 4 In service which thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty. Amen.

All Hail, Thou Night, Than Day More Bright

Author: Marc Antoine Muretus; William J. Blew Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 All hail, thou night, than day more bright, Through whose mysterious shade, In wondrous birth, arose on earth, From bosom of pure maid, The Sun new-born, a Star of morn, Filling all the world with light! 2 He who alone, from Heaven’s high throne, Rules all, and doth restore To God’s embrace man’s fallen race, Lies on a cottage floor, Like Him that we, save poverty, Have naught to call our own. 3 While o’er their sheep close watch they keep, Those shepherds first receive The heav’nly call, that doth to all Great joy and gladness give— The call from Heav’n to watchmen giv’n That wake and never sleep.

Obey the Master

Author: Clifford A. Cole Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: By Galilee of long ago Lyrics: 1 By Galilee of long ago The Master walked on day, He called to men whose hearts were brave To follow in his way. They answered firm with loyal pledge, "Yes, Lord, we will obey." 2 Jesus still calls to us today, He asks for faithful hands That in his service will obey, And follow God's commands. Let strong souls answer as did they On Galilean sands. 3 I hear his call within my heart, I'm glad he's chosen me To walk with him and share his work As did those by the sea; I'll join with all who, loving him, Would kigndom builders be.

Our Hymn Of Thanks We Sing Today

Author: Solomon S. Allsop Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Our hymn of thanks we sing today; Our hearts and voices raise, To Him who, with a Father’s love, Has guided all our ways: The mercies of another year Demand our grateful praise. 2 Jesus, accept the thanks we bring, Unworthy though they be; Thou didst of old let children sing Hosannas unto Thee. We too present our offering, And join their harmony. 3 Throughout the year we have been blest With lessons from Thy word, From teachers dear, who never tire In working for their Lord, Our minds to train, our souls to win: O give them their reward. 4 May we still love the Sunday School; Still love Thy word and ways; And wise unto salvation grow, In these our youthful days; Then join the blessèd band above, Who ever sing Thy praise. 5 Lord, smile upon the friends who come To aid this work of love; Their offerings graciously accept; Thy blessing may they prove A hundred fold—and may we meet Teachers and friends above.
