Gift of God to age and youth;
Wondrous in thy sacred story,

Wondrous in thy sacred story,
Bright, bright with truth.
2 Book of love! in accents tender,
Speaking unto such as we;
May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to thee,
May it lead us, Lord, to render
All, all to thee.
3 Book of hope! the spirit, sighing,
Consolation finds in thee,
As it hears the Savior crying—
"Come, come to me,"
As it hears the Savior crying—
"Come, come to me."
4 Book of life! when we, reposing,
Bid farewell to friends we love,
Give us for the life then closing,
Life, life above,
Give us for the life then closing,
Life, life above. Used With Tune: [Book of grace, and book of glory]

Break Thou the Bread of Life
Author: Mary Ann Lathbury Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Appears in 723 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:15-16 Lyrics: 1 Break thou the bread of life,
dear Lord, to me,
as thou didst break the loaves
beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page
I seek thee, Lord.
My spirit pants for thee,
O living Word!
2 Bless thou the truth, dear Lord,
now unto me,
as thou didst bless the bread
by Galilee.
Then shall all bondage cease,
all fetters fall.
And I shall find my peace,
my all in all.

Break Thou the Bread of Life
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
Author: Katharina von Schlegel, b. 1697; Jane Laurie Borthwick, 1813-1897 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:13 Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has 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
his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
