Author: Zakarias Nielsen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #296 (1927) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Topics: Spiritual Songs Divine Care and Guidance Lyrics: 1 I know, O God, I need Thy watchful care,
Thou callest me when from Thy path I wander;
Thou chidest me, Thy rod Thou dost not spare,
Thy mighty hand is reaching me from yonder.
2 I know Thou smitest not to do me harm,
Thou lovest me when sinful ways Thou breakest;
I know Thy love for me is rich and warm,
Yea, warmest when Thou me most strongly shakest.
3 And yet each time Thy hand upon me lies,
When I in sin have left Thy call unheeded,
My heart breaks out in loud and bitter cries,
I think Thou smitest more than it is needed.
4 How oft my pray'r: "O God, Thy will be done!"
Has unto Thee in confidence ascended;
But when Thy will against mine own has gone,
I knew it was my own that I intended.
5 I waver, then, but know that Thou art right,
Thy guiding hand Thy wilful child is training;
Thy yoke is easy, and Thy burden light,
I know I have no reason for complaining.
6 Teach me, O God, to will but what Thou wilt,
And check Thou me when oft mine own I'm seeking;
Chastize Thou me, but take away my guilt,
And give me grace to hear when Thou art speaking.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Hymnal: Zion still Sings #113 (2007) Meter: Irregular Topics: God's Care and Guidance Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing,
till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise,
high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us,
sing a song full of the hope
that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun
of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet,
come to the place
for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way
that with tears has been watered,
we have come, treading our path
thro' the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
thou who hast by thy might,
led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places,
our God, where we meet thee,
lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world,
we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land. Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #6 (2001) Topics: God Care and Guidance First Line: O worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above,
And gratefully sing His pow'r and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS

When He has tried and purged thee duly
And finds thee free from all deceit.

And makes thee own His loving care.
