As thro' life we glide;
Faithfully in our behavior
May we follow Thee, dear Savior,
Lead us by Thy hand
Thro' to fatherland.
2 When the world is cold,
Let us to Thee hold;
When the cup of sorrow draining,
May we do so uncomplaining;
For thro' trials we
Find our way to Thee.
3 When affliction's smart
Anguishes the heart--
Though our life be woe and weakness,
Help us bear our cross in meekness;
May we keep in mind,
God's a Father kind.
4 Order Thou our ways,
Lord! Through all our days;
Though our path be dark and cheerless,
Jesus with us, we'll be fearless;
Open, when life's o'er,
Lord! to us Thy door! Used With Tune: JESUS BE OUR GUIDE (Seelenbräutigam)

Break Thou the Bread of Life
Author: Mary A. Lathbury Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Appears in 723 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Teacher; Comforter; Whitsunday; liturgical Songs of Illumination; liturgical Communion Songs Lyrics: 1 Break now the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
as once you broke the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page I seek you, Lord;
my spirit waits for you, O living Word.
2 Bless your own word of truth, dear Lord, to me,
as when you blessed the bread by Galilee.
Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
and I shall find my peace, my All in all!
3 You are the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
your holy word the truth that rescues me.
Give me to eat and live with you above;
teach me to love your truth, for you are love.
4 O send your Spirit now, dear Lord, to me,
that he may touch my eyes and make me see.
Show me the truth made plain within your Word,
for in your book revealed I see you, Lord.
Psalter Hymnal, 1987

We Three Kings of Orient Are
Author: John H. Hopkins Meter: 8.8.4.4.6 with refrain Appears in 311 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Refrain First Line: O star of wonder, star of night Lyrics: 1 We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.
2 Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
over us all to reign. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I;
incense owns a Deity nigh;
prayer and praising, voices raising,
worshiping God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now behold him arise;
King and God and sacrifice:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]
United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Strong to follow in Thy grace;
Learning how to love from Thee;
Loving Him who first loved me.

In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,

Singing, till Thy face I see,
Of His love who first loved me.

Shepherd of tender youth
O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith; Third Sunday after Epiphany; Second Sunday in Lent; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by ev'ry foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God.
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile,
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
