I bow my forehead to the dust

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Appears in 76 hymnals Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O sing a new song to the Lord, Sing all the earth to God; In daily praises bless His name And tell His grace abroad. Among the nations far and wide His glory celebrate; To all the peoples of the earth His wondrous works relate. 2. The Lord is great above all gods, Let glad hosannas rise; The heathen gods are idols vain; Jehovah made the skies. Great honor is before His face, And majesty divine; Within His holy dwelling-place Both strength and beauty shine. 3. Let all the peoples of the earth Give glory to the Lord, Give Him the glory due His name And strength to Him accord; With offerings come ye to His courts, In holy beauty bow, Let all the earth with reverence come And serve Jehovah now. 4. To all the nations of the earth The blessèd tidings bring; Tell all the world Jehovah reigns, The universal King. The world shall therefore stand unmoved, Established by His might; And just is He to judge the wrong And vindicate the right. 5. Let Heaven and earth and sounding sea To Him glad tribute bring; Let field and wood and all therein Before Jehovah sing; For, lo, He comes to judge the earth, And all the world shall see His everlasting faithfulness, His truth and equity.

Lord, Who at Cana's Wedding Feast

Author: Adelaide Thrupp; Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast Didst as a guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here; For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2 The holiest vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife; Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides, No evil shall destroy, Through care-worn days each care divides, And doubles every joy. 3 On those who at Thine altar kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more: O grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above. Amen. Topics: Family Life Marriage Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

'Twixt Gleams of Joy and Clouds of Doubt

Author: John C. Shairp Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twixt gleams of joy and clouds of doubt our feelings come and go; Our daily state is tossed about in ceaseless ebb and flow. No mood of feeling, form of thought, is constant for a day; But Thou, O Lord, Thou changest not, the same Thou art alway. 2. Out of the weak, unquiet drift that comes but to depart, To that pure heaven my spirit lift where Thou unchanging art. Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp, let Thine almighty arm In its embrace my weakness clasp, and I shall fear no harm. 3. Thy purpose of eternal good let me but surely know, On this I’ll lean—let changing mood and feeling come or go Glad when Thy sunshine fills my soul, nor sad when clouds overcast, Since Thou within Thy sure control of love dost hold me fast.

The Son of Man Goes Forth Today

Author: Henry H. Barstow Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Son of Man goes forth today With slow and toilsome pace, By hedge and curb, in mine and wood, The shepherdless to trace; Through gleaming square and alley dim, High hall and basement low, Where goes the Son of Man today Let those who serve Him go. 2. The Son of Man goes forth today, His eyes suffused with pain, Where children’s toil and virtue’s worth Are marketed for gain. On them, in wrath ’gainst ruthless greed He lays the millstone’s woe: Where goes the Son of Man today Let those who serve Him go. 3. The Son of Man goes forth today, Up Calvary’s rocky slope; His ancient wounds gush forth afresh, Mankind’s eternal hope. O Church of God, behold the Man! Your Lord and pattern know! Where goes the Son of Man today Let those who serve Him go. Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD (Hiles) Text Sources: The Presbyterian Tribune, circa 1936

Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man Beyond archangels go, The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know? His attributes divinely soar Above the creature’s sight, And prostrate seraphim adore The glorious Infinite. 2 Jehovah’s everlasting days, They cannot numbered be; Incomprehensible the space Of Thine immensity; Thy wisdom’s depths by reason’s line In vain we strive to sound, Or stretch our laboring thought to assign Omnipotence a bound. 3 The brightness of Thy glories leave Description far below; Nor man, nor angel’s heart conceives How deep Thy mercies flow; Thy love is most unsearchable, And dazzles all above; They gaze, but cannot count or tell The treasures of Thy love!
