Faith and Truth and Life Bestowing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 Lyrics: 1 Faith and truth and life bestowing,
open now the Scriptures, Lord,
seed to life eternal sowing,
scattered on the wind abroad.
Let not hearts, your Word receiving,
like a barren field be found,
choked with thorns and unbelieving,
shallow earth or stony ground.
2 May the Spirit's pow'r unceasing
bring to life the hidden grain,
daily in our hearts increasing,
bearing fruit that shall remain.
So in Scripture, song, and story,
Savior, may your voice be heard.
Till our eyes behold your glory
give us ears to hear your Word. Topics: Word of God Used With Tune: BLAENHAFREN

Author: Joseph August Seiss Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Appears in 570 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 Lyrics: 1 Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O thou of God to earth come down,
thee will I cherish,
thee will I honor,
thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
2 Fair are the meadows,
fairer still the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring.
Jesus is fairer;
Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine,
fairer still the moonlight,
and all the twinkling, starry host.
Jesus shines brighter;
Jesus shines purer,
than all the angels heaven can boast.

praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine! Topics: Adoration; Creation; Jesus Christ Ascension and Reign; Love for God; Praise; Sovereignty of God Used With Tune: CRUSADERS’ HYMN Text Sources: Münster Gesangbuch, 1677; Sts. 1-3, trans. Church Chorals and Choir Studies, 1850, alt.
