While Yet The Morn Is Breaking
Author: J. Muehlmann Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Sunday School Hymns Divine Care and Providence Lyrics: 1 While yet the morn is breaking,
I thank my God once more,
Beneath whose care awaking,
I find the night is o'er:
I thank Him that He calls me
To life and health anew;
I know, whate'er befalls me,
His care will still be true.
2 Guardian of Israel, hear me,
Watch o'er me thro' the day;
In all I do be near me,
For others too I pray:
To Thee I would commend them,
Our church, our youth, our land;
Direct them and defend them,
When dangers are at hand.
3 Oh, gently grant Thy blessing,
That we may do Thy will,
No more Thy ways transgressing,
Our proper task fulfill:
With Peter's full affiance
Let down our nets again;
If Thou art our reliance,
Our toil will not be vain.
4 Thou art the Vine, oh, nourish
The branches graft in Thee,
And let them grow and flourish,
A fair and fruitful tree.
Thy Spirit put within us,
And let His gifts of grace
To all good actions win us,
That best may show His praise. Used With Tune: [While yet the morn is breaking]

Stand By Me
Author: Charles Albert Tindley Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: God Care and Guidance First Line: When the storms of life are raging Lyrics: 1 When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me;
When the storms of life are raging,
Stand by me;
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea,
Thou who rulest wind and water,
Stand by me.
2 In the midst of tribulations,
Stand by me;
In the midst of tribulations,
Stand by me;
When the hosts of hell assail,
And my strength begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a battle,
Stand by me.
3 In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me;
In the midst of faults and failures,
Stand by me;
When I do the best I can,
And my friends misunderstand,
Thou who knowest all about me,
Stand by me.
4 In the midst of persecution,
Stand by me;
In the midst of persecution,
Stand by me;
When my foes in war array
Undertake to stop my way,
Thou who saved Paul and Silas,
Stand by me.
5 When I’m growing old and feeble,
Stand by me;
When I’m growing old and feeble,
Stand by me;
When my life becomes a burden,
And I’m nearing chilly Jordan,
O Thou "Lily of the Valley,"
Stand by me. Used With Tune: STAND BY ME

Jesus, I my cross have taken
Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,346 hymnals Topics: Cares Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heaven are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me;
They have left my Saviour, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me--
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials sore may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come disaster, scorn, and pain!
In Thy service pain is pleasure;
With Thy favor loss is gain.
I have called Thee Abba, Father;
I have stayed my heart on Thee:
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.
4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find, in every station,
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: WORLD, FAREWELL! OF THEE I'M WEARY

Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Care Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother
each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us
and bring us to believe
we are ourselves accepted
and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
as in our daily life
we struggle to be human
and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
for all– not just for some,
to love them as we find them
and as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
so that we may be moved
in living situations
to do the truth in love;
to practice your acceptance
until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness
and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance,
for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing,
new hands for holding on;
renew us with your Spirit;
Lord, free us, make us one! Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: AURELIA

Brother to our souls becomes.

There your kingdom and reward.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Margaret Clarkson; Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,299 hymnals Topics: God Guidance and Care Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise His name - I'm fixed upon it -
Name of God's redeeming love.
2 Hitherto Thy love has blest me;
Thou hast bro't me to this place;
And I know Thy hand will bring me
Safely home by thy good grace.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Bought me with His precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it;
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 896 hymnals Topics: God's Care Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel! Scripture: Luke 2:4-8 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS Text Sources: The Church Porch, 1874
