Pattern of Forgiveness
Author: John H. Gurney Appears in 243 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 First Line: Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee,
And pray to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brother's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as thine.
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, thy will be done!"
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow thee to heaven! Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Example of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Life on the Earth; Conformity; Cross of Christ Bearing Used With Tune: HELENA

Beneficence
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 190 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 First Line: Jesus, our Lord, how rich thy grace! Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum!
How pay the mighty debt!
2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost thou exalted shine;
What can our poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are thine!
3 But thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of thy grace;
And wilt confess their humble names,
Before thy Father's face.
4 In them thou mayst be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress,
Our Saviour's voice is heard.

who through all changes faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul! your best, your heav’nly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul! for God will undertake
to guide the future surely as the past.
Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know
the voice that calmed their fury long ago.
3 Be still, my soul! the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever in God's peace;
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
love’s joys restored, our strivings all shall cease.
Be still my soul! when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: Patience; Comfort; Discipleship; Funeral / Memorial Service; God Faithfulness of; God Power of; Joy; Patience; Protection; Suffering Used With Tune: FINLANDIA Text Sources: Stille, mein Wille

Look from the Sphere of Endless Day
Author: William Cullen Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:5-8 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might;
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted, in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from Thee.
3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A wandering flock, and bring them all
To the Good Shepherd's peaceful fold.
4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.
Amen. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
