My Faith, It Is an Oaken Staff
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #418 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Topics: Faith and Aspiration First Line: My faith it is an oaken staff Lyrics: 1 My faith, it is an oaken staff,
the traveler’s well-loved aid;
My faith, it is a song of trust,
sustains me undismayed.
I’ll travel on and still be stirred
by silent thought or social word;
By all my perils undeterred,
a pilgrim unafraid.
2 My guide is Jesus Christ whose steps,
when travelers have trod,
Whether beneath was flinty rock
or yielding grassy sod,
They carried on, their joy unspent;
through pain and trial they onward went,
Unstayed by pleasures, still they bent
their zealous course to God.
3 My faith, it is an oaken staff,
O let me on it lean.
My faith provides the ground of hope,
supports a purpose keen.
Your Spirit, God, upon me send,
that I may be what you intend.
With patient courage, we'll contend
as radiant saints serene.

We Live by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #256 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 We live by faith and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
From Christ who spoke as none e'er spoke,
who still we know is near.
2 We may not touch Christ's hands and side,
nor follow where Christ trod;
but in confessing we rejoice:
our Savior and our God!
3 Help then, O Christ, our unbelief;
and may our faith abound
To call on you when you are near
and seek where you are found:
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.

Incarnate God, Immortal Love
Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #414 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Incarnate God, immortal Love,
whom we, that have not seen your face,
by faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
2 You will not leave us in the dust;
you gave us life, we know not why.
We trust we were not made to die,
for you have made us, you are just.
3 In you meet human and divine,
the highest, holiest union known.
We falsely call our powers our own
until our wills with yours combine.
4 Our little systems have their day;
they have their day and cease to be;
They are but fleeting certainty,
and you, O Christ, are more than they.
5 We have but faith; we cannot know,
for knowledge is of things proved true;
And yet we trust it comes from you,
a sign of promise; let it grow.
6 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
but more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
may make one music as before. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #593 (1995) Meter: Irregular Topics: Faith and Aspiration Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the harsh past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
God who has brought us thus far on the way;
God, who by your might, led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met you,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, forget you;
Shadowed beneath your hand, may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land. Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

by Bethel's stone, I'll know you hear my prayer,

nearer to you.

whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live;

And the mysterious One:
where reason fails with all her powers,
there faith prevails, and love adores.
