I Worship You, O LORD

Author: James E. Seddon; Calvin Seerveld Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 I worship you, O LORD, for you have raised me up; I cried to you for help, and you restored my life. You brought me back from death and saved me from the grave. 2 Sing praises to the LORD, all those who know his name; for while his wrath is brief, his favor knows no end. Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy. 3 I said, "I am so strong, I never shall be moved"; but you, LORD, shook my life-- my heart was in distress. I cried out for your help and pleaded for your grace: 4 "What good am I when dead, while lying in the grave? Can dust recount your love, the grave proclaim your praise? O hear me, gracious LORD, in mercy be my aid!" 5 My mourning you have turned to dancing and to joy; my sadness you dispelled as gladness filled my soul. And so I'll sing your praise, my God, through all my days. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: BISHOP TUCKER

The best of friends I have in heaven

Author: J. H. Horstmann Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Children's Day; Christ Children's Friend; Christ Our Friend; The Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 The best of friends I have in heaven, The loyal friends on earth are few; Where hearts to things of earth are given, Friends cannot be sincere and true; But firmly I can e’er depend On Jesus as my dearest friend. 2 The world bestows its greatest favors On those who can and will repay; Whenever fortune’s friendship wavers, Its favors too will pass away; With Jesus such is not the end, He always is the dearest friend. 3 He is the friend above all others, Whose heart and soul is wholly mine; Whose love is stronger than a brother’s, And stands beyond the end of time; Then praise with me unto the end My Saviour as the dearest friend.
