Lord, Thy Word Abideth
Author: Henry Williams Baker Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thy Word abideth and our footsteps guideth;
who its truth believeth light and joy receiveth.
When our foes are near us, then thy Word doth cheer us;
word of consolation, message of salvation.
2 When the storms are o'er us, and dark clouds before us,
then its light directeth, and our way protecteth.
Who can tell the pleasure, who recount the treasure,
by thy Word imparted to the simple-hearted?
3 Word of mercy, giving succor to the living;
Word of life, supplying comfort to the dying!
O that we, discerning its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear thee, evermore be near thee.

Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his name! Topics: Epiphany (feast); Gathering of the Community; Offertory; Praise of God Used With Tune: ÜTTINGEN (WAS LEBET)

Why Should I Feel Discouraged? (His Eye Is on the Sparrow)
Author: Civilla Durfee Martin Meter: Irregular Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:1 First Line: Why should I feel discouraged? Refrain First Line: I sing because I'm happy Lyrics: 1 Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
and long for heaven and home,
when Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is he:
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
Refrain:
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
for his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me.
2 “Let not your heart be troubled,”
his tender word I hear,
and resting on his goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
though by the path he leadeth
but one step I may see:
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me. [Refrain]
3 Whenever I am tempted,
whenever clouds arise,
when song gives place to sighing,
when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to him,
from care he sets me free:
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me;
his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know he watches me. [Refrain]

Father of mercies in thy house
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies in thy house,
Smile on our homage, and our vows;
While with a grateful heart we share
These pledges of our Saviour's care.
2 The Saviour, when to heav'n he rose
In splendid triumph o'er his foes
Scatter'd his gifts on men below,
And wide his royal bounties flow.
3 Hence sprung th'Apostles' honour'd name,
Sacred beyond heroic fame;
In lowlier form to bless our eyes,
Pastors from hence, and Teachers rise.
4 From Christ their varied gifts derive,
And fed by Christ their graces live;
While guarded by his potent hand,
'Midst all the rage of hell they stand.
5 So shall the bright succession run
Through the last courses of the sun;
While unborn churches by their care
Shall rise and flourish large and fair.
6 Jesus our Lord their hearts shall know,
The spring, whence all these blessing flow;
Pastors and people shout his praise
Through the long round of endless days. Topics: Ordaining of Priests &c.

Stell, ach stell Dich bei uns ein!
Dass wir jetzund nicht vergebens

Dass Du wollest Wunder tun,
Und in ihnen willst erscheinen,
Ach, erfüll´s, erfüll´s auch nun!

Herr, wir sind auf Dich getauft,
Und Du hast zu Deinem Samen
Uns mit Deinem Blut erkauft.
O, so lass uns Dich erkennen,
Komm, erkläre selbst Dein Wort,
Dass wir Dich recht Meister nennen,
Und Dir dienen immerfort.

Welche sich nach Deinem Heil
Mit vereintem Seufzen sehnen,
O, so sei auch unser Teil!
Lehr uns singen, lehr uns beten,
Hauch uns an mit Deinem Geist,
Dass wir vor den Vater treten,
Wie es kindlich ist und heisst.

Stör die Flatterhaftigkeit,
Lass uns Licht und Kraft gewinnen,
Zu der Christen Wesenheit.
O Du Haupt der rechten Glieder!
Nimm auch uns zu solchen an;
Bring das Abgewich'ne wieder
Auf die frohe Himmelsbahn!
5 Gieb uns Augen, gieb uns Ohren,
Gieb uns Herzen, die Dir gleich,
Mach uns redlich neugeboren,
Herr, zu Deinem Himmelreich!
Ach ja! lehr uns Christen werden,
Christen, die ein Licht der Welt,
Christen, die ein Salz der Erden;
Ach ja, Herr, wie's Dir gefällt! Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; The Church Prayer for Life, Increase Used With Tune: GREENVILLE NEW

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
Author: Helen H. Lemmel Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:1 First Line: O soul, are you weary and troubled? Lyrics: 1 O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Chorus:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
2 Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion–
For more than conqu'rors we are! [Chorus]
3 His Word shall not fail you– He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell! [Chorus]
