O Son of man, our Hero strong and tender

Author: Frank Fletcher Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, our Hero strong and tender, Whose servants are the brave in all the earth, Our living sacrifice to Thee we render, Who sharest all our sorrows, all our mirth. 2 O feet so strong to climb the path of duty, O lips divine that taught the words of truth, Kind eyes that marked the lilies in their beauty, And heart that kindled at the zeal of youth; 3 Lover of children, boyhood's inspiration, Of all mankind the Servant and the King; O Lord of joy and hope and consolation, To Thee our fears and joys and hopes we bring. 4 Not in our failures only and our sadness We seek Thy presence, Comforter and Friend; O rich man's Guest, be with us in our gladness, O poor man's Mate, our lowliest tasks attend. Amen.

When the great sun sinks to his rest

Author: Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the great sun sinks to his rest, His golden glories thrilling me, And voiceless longings stir my breast, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 2 And when the stars— the daylight fled— In serried, shining ranks I see, Filling the splendid vault o’erhead, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 3 Or if in solemn forest shades The calm of nature steals o’er me, And silence all my soul pervades, Then teach me, Lord, to worship Thee. 4 Not in the sacred shrines alone, Which chime their summons unto me, Would I look upward to Thy throne, But everywhere would worship Thee.

Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning?

Author: Archbishop Johann Olaf Wallin (1779-1839) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth My heart still pleadeth. 2 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams I'm near Him. But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 3 O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the source be whence it comes— the Giver? Beauty forever. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth, My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth; Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving! 5 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. Amen.

O gracious Father of mankind

Author: Rev. Henry H. Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O gracious Father of mankind, Our spirits’ unseen Friend, High heaven’s Lord, our hearts’ dear Guest, To Thee our prayers ascend. Thou dost not wait till human speech Thy gifts divine implore; Our dreams, our aims, our work, our lives Are prayers Thou lovest more. 2 Thou hearest these, the good and ill, Deep buried in each breast; The secret thought, the hidden plan, Wrought out or unexpressed. O cleanse our prayers from human dross, Attune our lives to Thee, Until we labor for those gifts We ask on bended knee. 3 Thou seekest us in love and truth More than our minds seek Thee; Through open gates Thy power flows in Like flood tides from the sea. No more we seek Thee from afar, Nor ask Thee for a sign, Content to pray in life and love And toil, till all are Thine. Amen.
