Father, I know that all my life

Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #1 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me, And the changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing Thee. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And to wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. So I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. And if some things I do not ask, In my cup of blessing be, I would have my spirit filled the more With grateful love to Thee — More careful — not to serve Thee much, But to please Thee perfectly. There are briers besetting every path, That call for patient care; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee Is happy anywhere. In a service which Thy will appoints, There are no bonds for me; For my inmost heart is taught “the truth” That makes Thy children “free;” And a life of self–renouncing love, Is a life of liberty.

Sweet is the solace of Thy love

Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #4 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Sweet is the solace of Thy love, My Heavenly Friend, to me, While through the hidden way of faith I journey home with Thee, Learning by quiet thankfulness As a dear child to be. Though from the shadow of Thy peace My feet would often stray, Thy mercy follows all my steps, And will not turn away; Yea, thou wilt comfort me at last, As none beneath Thee may. Oft in a dark and lonely place, I hush my hastened breath, To hear the comfortable words Thy loving Spirit saith; And feel my safety in Thy hand From every kind of death. O there is nothing in the world To weigh against Thy will; Even the dark times I dread the most Thy covenant filfil; And when the pleasant morning dawns I find Thee with me still. Then in the secret of my soul, Though hosts my peace invade, Though through a waste and weary land My lonely way he made, Thou, even Thou, wilt comfort me — I need not be afraid. Still in the solitary place I would awhile abide, Till with the solace of Thy love My heart is satisfied; And all my hopes of happiness Stay calmly at Thy side. Scripture: Isaiah 2:12 Languages: English

O God, Defender of the Poor

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #4A (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor, have mercy when I pray: you listened to my prayer before-- LORD, hear my prayer today! you listened to my prayer before-- LORD, hear my prayer today! 2 How long will people choose vain things, love empty words and wrong? They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne; let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed; unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed. 5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine; for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace; for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace.

The LORD's My Shepherd

Hymnal: With Heart and Voice #9 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: The LORD's my shepherd; I'll not want Lyrics: 1 The LORD's my shepherd; I'll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green; he leadeth me the quiet waters by; he leadeth me, he leadeth me the quiet waters by. 2 My soul he doth restore again, and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e'en for his own name's sake; within the paths of righteousness, e'en for his own name's sake. 3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, yet will I fear no ill; for thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still; for thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 4 My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows; my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me, and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be; and in God's house forevermore my dwelling place shall be.
