Thee will I love, my strength, my tower
Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; J. Scheffler, 1624-1677 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #82 (1917) Topics: Race, the Christian Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my strength, my tower;
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown;
Thee will I love, with all my power,
In all Thy works, and Thee alone;
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
Fills my whole soul with chaste desire.
2 I thank Thee, uncreated Sun,
That Thy bright beams on me have shined;
I thank Thee, who hast overthrown
My foes, and healed my wounded mind;
I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice
Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.
3 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God;
Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown,
Or smile, Thy sceptre, or Thy rod;
What though my flesh and heart decay,
Thee shall I love in endless day! Languages: English Tune Title: PATER OMNIUM
Thee will I love, my strength, my tower
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #655 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; The Heavenly Race Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be done;
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint.
3 The mighty god, whose matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young,
And firm endures while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a full supply;
While such as trust their native strength,
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amid the heavenly road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release;
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
