Children of the Heavenly Father
Author: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg; Ernst W. Olson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Providence Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e'er was given.
2 God his own doth tend and nourish;
in his holy courts they flourish;
from all evil things he spares them;
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne'er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy. Used With Tune: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA

Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me! [Refrain]

When by Thy grace the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God thru Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 23:3 Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME

Ere mountains reared their forms sublime
Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Ere mountains reared their forms sublime,
Or heaven and earth in order stood,
Before the birth of ancient time,
From everlasting thou art God.
2 A thousand ages, in their flight,
With thee are as a fleeting day;
Past, present, future, to thy sight
At once their various scenes display.
3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream,
A passing thought, that soon is o'er,
That fades with morning's earliest beam,
And fills the musing mind no more.
4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give,
Each passing moment so to spend
That we at length with thee may live,
Where life and bliss shall never end. Used With Tune: ROTHWELL
Ere mountains reared their forms sublime

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 550 hymnals Topics: Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;
No other help I know.
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
Oh! whither shall I go?
2 What did Thine only Son endure,
Before I drew my breath!
What pain, what labor to secure
My soul from endless death!
3 Surely Thou canst not let me die;
Oh, speak and I shall live;
And here I will unwearied lie,
Till Thou Thy Spirit give.
4 Author of faith! to Thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes;
Oh, let me now receive that gift!
My soul without it dies.

There is a book that all may read
Author: John Keble Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 There is a book that all may read,
Which heavenly truth imparts;
And all the lore its scholars need,
And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.
2 The works of God above, below,
Within us, and around,
Are pages in that book, to show
How God himself is found.
3 The glorious sky, embracing all,
Is like the Maker's love,
Wherewith encompassed, great and small,
In peace and order move.
4 The dew of heaven is like thy grace,
It steals in silence down;
But where it falls, the favored place
By richest fruits is known.
5 Thou who has given me eyes to see,
And love for what is fair,
Give me a heart to find out thee,
And read thee everywhere. Used With Tune: WOODLAND
There is a book that all may read
Holy as thou, O Lord, is none
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 Holy as thou, O Lord, is none;
Thy holiness is all thine own;
A drop of that unbounded sea
Is ours, a drop derived from thee.
2 And when thy purity we share,
Thy brightest glory we declare;
And, humbled into nothing, own,
Holy and pure is God alone.
3 Sole, self-existing God and Lord,
By all thy heavenly hosts adored,
Let all on earth bow down to thee,
And own thy peerless majesty.
4 Thy power unequaled we confess,
Established on the rock of peace;
The rock that never shall remove,
The rock of pure, almighty love. Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE
Holy as thou, O Lord, is none
