Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William W. Reid, Sr., 1890-1983, alt. Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:8 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness,
for dull content with warmth and sheltered care,
for songs of praise for worldly wealthiness,
while of your richer gifts we're unaware:
2 Teach us to thank you, Lord, for love and grace,
for life and vision, for a purpose clear,
for Christ, your Son, and for each human face
that shows your message ever new and near.
3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise,
for words that speak at variance with deeds;
forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways,
unmindful of a broken brother's needs:
4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine,
that gives as Christ gave, never counting cost,
that knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine,"
assured that only what's withheld is lost.
5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast,
for joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul,
for walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast
and blur our vision of the Kingdom goal:
6 Open our eyes to see your love's intent,
to know with minds and hearts its depth and height;
let thankful days in loving labor spent
reflect the truly Christlike life and light.

Whose arm is our strength and shield;
March on, march on with bold and fearless tread;
We’ll conquer by His grace, but we’ll never yield. [Refrain]

Give rest, O Christ
Author: W. J. Birkbeck, 1869-1916 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:15-16 Lyrics: Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting.
Thou only art immortal,
the Creator and Maker of man;
and we are mortal, formed of the earth,
and unto earth shall we return;
for so thou didst ordain
when thou createdst me, saying:
'Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
All we go down to the dust,
and, weeping o'er the grave we make our song:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: CONTAKION OF THE DEAD Text Sources: Russian
