The God of Abraham Praise

Author: Daniel ben Judah; Newton Mann; Max Landsberg Meter: 6.6.8.4 Appears in 455 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; The ancient of eternal days, The God of Love! The Lord, the great I Am, By earth and heaven confessed, We bow before Your holy name, Forever blest. 2 Your spirit still flows free, High surging where it will; In prophet's word You spoke of old And You speak still. Established is Your law, And changeless it shall stand, Deep writ upon the human heart, On sea, or land. 3 You have eternal life Implanted in the soul; Your love shall be our strength and stay, While ages roll. We praise You, living God! We praise Your holy name; The first, the last, beyond all thought, And still the same!

Teach me Thy gracious will

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Teach me Thy gracious will, O Jesus, Lord, I pray, And make me ready to respond From day to day. 76 Thou hadst no will but one, The will Thy God imposed; Teach me, O Lord, to rest my soul Where Thine reposed. Then life with all its ills Will be no task to bear, For what is best Thy hand will give, And soothe my care. I am not wise nor good, I must not risk to choose; I grasp the thing my heart desires; The best, I lose. So let Thy will be mine, That I may quietly rest; For, what Thy love and wisdom plan, Must aye be best.

Nay, not a thousandth part. Well, then, I have but one thing more: Take Thou my heart. Used With Tune: FAREWELL
