I Bow My Forehead to the Dust

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #414 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No off'ring of my own I have, Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2 I dimly guess, from blessings known, Of greater out of sight; And, with the chastened Psalmist, own His judgments too are right. And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruised reed He will not break, But strengthen and sustain. 3 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 4 I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee. Amen.

Eternal God, Whose Power Upholds

Author: Henry Hallam Tweedy, 1868-1953 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1327 Lyrics: 1. Eternal God, whose power upholds Both flower and flaming star, To whom there is no here nor there, No time, no near nor far, No alien race, no foreign shore, No child unsought, unknown, O send us forth, Thy prophets true, To make all lands Thine own! 2. O God of love, whose Spirit wakes In every human breast, Whom love, and love alone can know, In whom all hearts find rest, Help us to spread Thy gracious reign Till greed and hate shall cease, And kindness dwell in human hearts, And all the earth find peace! 3. O God of truth, whom science seeks And reverent souls adore, Who lightest every earnest mind Of every clime and shore, Dispel the gloom of error’s night, Of ignorance and fear, Until true wisdom from above Shall make life’s pathway clear! 4. O God of beauty, oft revealed In dreams of human art, In speech that flows to melody, In holiness of heart, Teach us to ban all ugliness That blinds our eyes to Thee, Till all shall know the loveliness Of lives made fair and free. 5. O God of righteousness and grace, Seen in the Christ, Thy Son, Whose life and death reveal Thy face, By whom Thy will was done. Inspire Thy heralds of good news To live Thy life divine, Till Christ has formed in all mankind And every land is Thine! Languages: English Tune Title: AMESBURY

Good Is the Lord, the Heav'nly King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1967 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Good is the Lord, the heav’nly King, Who makes the earth His care; Visits the pastures every spring, And bids the grass appear. The clouds, like rivers, raised on high Pour out at Thy command Their watery blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. 2. The softened ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring; The valleys rich provision yield, And the poor laborers sing. The little hills, on every side, Rejoice at falling showers; The meadows, dressed in all their pride, Perfume the air with flowers. 3. The barren clods, refreshed with rain, Promise a joyful crop; The parching grounds look green again, And raise the reaper’s hope. The various months Thy goodness crowns; How bounteous Thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o’er the downs, And shepherds shout Thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: AMESBURY

My Savior, on the Word of Truth

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4345 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. My Savior, on the word of truth In earnest hope I live; I ask for all the precious things Thy boundless love can give. I look for many a lesser light About my path to shine; But chiefly long to walk with Thee, And only trust in Thine. 2. In holy expectation held, Thy strength my heart shall stay, For Thy right hand will never let My trust be cast away. Yea, Thou hast kept me near Thy feet, In many a deadly strife, By the stronghold of hope in Thee, The hope of endless life. 3. Thou knowest that I am not blest As Thou wouldst have me be, Till all the peace and joy of faith Possess my soul in Thee And still I seek ’mid many fears, With yearnings unexpressed, The comforts of Thy strengthening love, Thy soothing, settling rest. 4. It is not as Thou wilt with me, Till, humbled in the dust; I know no place in all my heart Wherein to put my trust. Until I find, O Lord, in Thee, The Lowly and the Meek, That fullness which Thy own redeemed Go nowhere else to seek. 5. Then, O my Savior, on my soul, Cast down, but not dismayed, Still be Thy chastening, healing hand In tender, mercy laid. And while I wait for all Thy joys, My yearning heart to fill, Teach me to walk and work with Thee, And at Thy feet sit still. Languages: English Tune Title: AMESBURY

O Master Workman of the Race

Author: Jay T. Stocking Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5168 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O master workman of the race, Thou Man of Galilee, Who with the eyes of early youth eternal things did see, We thank Thee for Thy boyhood faith that shone Thy whole life through; Did ye not know it is My work, My Father’s work to do? 2. O carpenter of Nazareth, builder of life divine, Who shapest man to God’s own law, Thyself the fair design, Build us a tower of Christlike height, that we the land may view, And see, like Thee, our noblest work, our Father’s work to do. 3. O Thou who dost the vision send and givest each his task, And with the task sufficient strength, show us Thy will, we ask; Give us a conscience bold and good, give us a purpose true, That it may be our highest joy our Father’s work to do.

Veil, Lord, Mine Eyes till She Be Past

Author: George Wither, 1588-1667 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7080 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Veil, Lord, mine eyes till she be past, When folly tempts my sight; Keep Thou my palate and my taste From gluttonous delight. Stop Thou mine ear from sirens’ songs, My tongue from lies restrain; Withhold my hands from doing wrongs, My feet from courses vain. 2. Teach, likewise, every other sense To act an honest part, But chiefly settle innocence And pureness in my heart; So naught without me or within, Shall work an ill effect, By tempting me to act a sin, Or virtues to neglect.

When Pharaoh Dared to Vex the Saints

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7380 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. When Pharaoh dared to vex the saints, And thus provoked their God, Moses was sent at their complaints, Armed with his dreadful rod. He called for darkness; darkness came Like an o’erwhelming flood; He turned each lake and every stream To lakes and streams of blood. 2. He gave the sign, and noisome flies Through the whole country spread; And frogs in croaking armies rise About the monarch’s bed. Through fields, and towns, and palaces, The tenfold vengeance flew; Locusts in swarms devoured their trees, And hail their cattle slew. 3. Then by an angel’s midnight stroke The flower of Egypt died; The strength of every house was broke, Their glory and their pride. Now let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th’Almighty’s care. Languages: English Tune Title: AMESBURY
