O happy is the man who hears
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #635a (1917) Topics: Riches Of Grace Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction's warning voice;
And who celestial Wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
A length of happy days;
Riches, with splendid honours joined,
Are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
In pleasure's paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: KILMARNOCK

Be Thou My Vision

naught be all else to me, save that thou art -
thou my best thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
2 Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my great Father, I thy true son;
thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
3 Be thou my battle shield, sword for my fight;
be thou my dignity, thou my delight,
thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tow'r;
raise thou me heav'n-ward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.
4 Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
thou mine inheritance, now and always:
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
5 High King of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'n's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all. Scripture: Philippians 3:7 Languages: English Tune Title: SLANE

Hear This, All Ye People, Hear
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #96 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Vanity Of Riches Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all ye people, hear,
Earth's inhabitants give ear;
All of high and low degree,
Rich and poor, give heed to me.
2 Truth with all my heart I seek,
And my mouth shall wisdom speak;
Hearken while in lyric strain
I make hidden wisdom plain.
3 Why should I to fear give way
When I see the evil day,
When with wickedness my foes
Shall surround me and oppose?
4 They that trust in treasured gold,
Though they boast of wealth untold,
None can bid his brother live,
None to God a ransom give.
5 If from death one would be free
And corruption never see,
Costly is life's ransom price,
Far beyond all sacrifice. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: FISK

Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart
Author: M. M. Schaling, 1532-1608; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #406 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8.8.4.8.8 Topics: Heavenly Riches Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thee I love with all my heart;
I pray Thee, ne'er from me depart;
With tender mercy cheer me.
Earth has no pleasure I would share,
Yea, heav'n itself were void and bare
If Thou, Lord, were not near me.
And should my heart for sorrow break,
My trust in Thee no one could shake.
Thou art the Portion I have sought;
Thy precious blood my soul has bought.
Lord Jesus Christ,
My God and Lord, my God and Lord,
Forsake me not! I trust Thy Word.
2 Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy rich bounty gave
My body, soul, and all I have
In this poor life of labor.
Lord, grant that I in ev'ry place
May glorify Thy lavish grace
And serve and help my neighbor.
Let no false doctrine me beguile;
And Satan not my soul defile.
Give strength and patience unto me
To bear my cross and follow Thee.
Lord Jesus Christ,
My God and Lord, my God and Lord,
In death Thy comfort still afford.
3 Lord, let at last Thine angels come,
To Abram's bosom bear me home,
That I may die unfearing;
And in its narrow chamber keep
My body safe in peaceful sleep
Until Thy reappearing.
And then from death awaken me
That these mine eyes with joy may see,
O Son of God, Thy glorious face,
My Savior and my Fount of grace,
Lord Jesus Christ,
My prayer attend, my prayer attend,
And I will praise Thee without end.
Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLICH LIEB HAB ICH DICH, O HERR
Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart
Thee Will I Love, My Strength, My Tower
Author: J. Scheffler, 1624-77; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #409 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.6 Topics: Heavenly Riches Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower;
Thee will I love, my Hope, my Joy.
Thee will I love with all my power,
With ardor time shall ne'er destroy.
Thee will I love, O Light Divine,
So long as life is mine.
2 Thee will I love, my Life, my Savior,
Who art my best and truest Friend.
Thee will I love and praise forever,
For never shall Thy kindness end.
Thee will I love with all my heart--
Thou my Redeemer art!
3 I thank Thee, Jesus, Sun from heaven,
Whose radiance hath brought light to me.
I thank Thee, who hast richly given
All that could make me glad and free.
I thank Thee that my soul is healed
By what Thy lips revealed.
4 O keep me watchful, then, and humble;
And suffer me no more to stray.
Uphold me when my feet would stumble,
Nor let me loiter by the way.
Fill all my nature with Thy light,
O Radiance strong and bright!
5 Oh, teach me, Lord, to love Thee truly
With soul and body, head and heart,
And grant me grace that I may duly
Practice fore'er love's sacred art.
Grant that my ev'ry thought may be
Directed e'er to Thee.
6 Thee will I love, my Crown of gladness,
Thee will I love, my God and Lord,
Amid the darkest depths of sadness,
Not for the hope of high reward,
For Thine own sake, O Light Divine,
So long as life is mine.

Let Your Heart Be Broken

Let Your Heart Be Broken
The wise may bring their learning
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #657 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Riches Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their greatness,
And some bring strength and health;
We, too, would bring our treasures
To offer to the King;
We have no wealth or learning:
What shall we children bring?
2 We'll bring him hearts to love him;
We'll bring him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To walk in holy ways:
And these shall be the treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even
The poorest child may bring.
3 We'll bring the little duties
We have to do each day;
We'll try our best to please him,
At home, at school, at play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to the King
Than richest gifts without them;
Yet these a child may bring.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLON
The wise may bring their learning
