Findlater Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 138 hymnals First Line: O happy the home, where Thou art loved the dearest Lyrics: 1 O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend and Savior of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honored place. 2 O happy home, where each one serves thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto thee. 3 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full and free, O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee. 4 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended, All meet thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thine everlasting home of peace and love!

Father, in Thy Mysterious Presence Kneeling

Author: Samuel Johnson Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling, Fain would our souls feel all Thy kindling love; For we are weak, and need some deep revealing Of trust and strength and ca’ess from above. 2. Lord, we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow, And Thou hast made each step an onward one; And we will ever trust each unknown morrow; Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done. 3. Now, Father, now in Thy dear presence kneeling, Our spirits yearn to feel Thy kindling love; Now make us strong; we need Thy deep revealing Of trust and strength and ca’ess from above.

We Would See Jesus; Lo! His Star

Author: J. Edgar Park Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 69 hymnals First Line: We would see Jesus, lo! His star is shining Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; lo! His star is shining Above the stable while the angels sing; There in a manger on the hay reclining; Haste, let us lay our gifts before the King. 2 We would see Jesus, Mary's son most holy, Light of the village life from day to day; Shining revealed through every task most lowly, The Christ of God, the Life, the Truth, the Way. 3 We would see Jesus, on the mountain teaching, With all the list'ning people gathered round; While birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching The blessedness which simple trust has found. 4 We would see Jesus, in His work of healing, At eventide before the sun was set; Divine and human, in His deep revealing Of God and man in loving service met. 5 We would see Jesus; in the early morning, Still as of old He calleth, "Follow me"; Let us arise, all meaner service scorning; Lord, we are Thine, we give ourselves to Thee. Amen. Topics: Christ Life on earth; Dedication of Life; Invitation to Consecration Scripture: John 12:21 Used With Tune: HENLEY

Dear God, Our Father

Author: Katharine L. Bates, 1859-1929 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Dear God, our Father, at Thy knees confessing Lyrics: 1. Dear God, our Father, at Thy knees confessing Our sins and follies, close in Thine embrace, Children forgiven, happy in Thy blessing, Deepen our spirits to receive Thy grace. 2. Not for more beauty would our eyes entreat Thee, Flooded with beauty, beauty everywhere; Only for keener vision that may greet Thee, In all Thy vestures of the earth and air. 3. The stars and rainbows are Thy wondrous wearing, Sunlight and shadow moving on the hills; Holy the meadow where Thy feet are faring, Holy the brooklet that Thy laughter fills. 4. Not for more love our craving hearts implore Thee, But for more power to love until they glow Like hearths of comfort, eager to restore Thee, Hidden in human wretchedness and woe. 5. In souls most sullen Thou art softly dreaming Of saints and heroes wrought from Thy divine Pity and patience, still the lost redeeming, Deepen our spirits for love like Thine. Used With Tune: HENLEY
