Father, Long Before Creation
Author: Francis P. Jones Hymnal: The Hymnbook #107 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Topics: God the Father His Love and Fatherhood Lyrics: 1 Father, long before creation
Thou hadst chosen us in love;
And that love, so deep, so moving,
Draws us close to Christ above.
Still it keeps us, Still it keeps us,
Firmly fixed in Christ alone.
2 Though the world may change its fashion,
Yet our· God is e'er the same;
His compassion and His covenant
Through all ages will remain.
God's own children, God's own children,
Must forever praise His name.
3 God's compassion is my story,
Is my boasting all the day;
Mercy free and never failing
Moves my will, directs my way.
God so loved us, God so loved us,
That His only Son He gave.
4 Loving Father, now before Thee
We will ever praise Thy love;
And our song will sound unceasing
Till we reach our home above,
Giving glory, Giving glory,
To our God and to the Lamb.
Amen. Scripture: John 3:16 Tune Title: MILLER CHAPEL

Father of mercies! God of love!
Author: Higinbotham Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #118 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Our Father Lyrics: 1 FATHER, of mercies! God of love!
My Father and my God!

And spread thy praise abroad.

Thy thoughts of love appear;
Thy mercies gild each transient scene,
And crown each passing year.
3 In all thy mercies, may my soul
A Father's bounty see;
Nor let the gifts thy grace bestows
Estrange my heart from thee.
4 Teach me, in times of deep distress,
To own thy hand, O God!
And in submissive silence learn
The lessons of thy rod.
5 Through every period of my life,
Each bright, each clouded scene,
Give me a meek and humble mind,
Still equal and serene.
6 Then may I close my eyes in death,
Redeemed from anxious fear;
For death itself, my God, is life,
If thou art with me there. Scripture: Psalm 66:8-9

Oh, bend my will to thine!
3 Whate'er thy will ordains,
Oh, give me strength to bear;
Still let me know a father reigns,
And trust a father's care.
4 Thy ways are little known
To my weak, erring sight;
Yet shall my soul, believing, own
That all thy ways are right.
5 My Father! blissful name!
Above expression dear!
If thou accept my humble claim,
I bid adieu to fear.
My Father! cheering name! Oh, may I call Thee mine?

What to flee and what to do.

Very narrow is the way.

Make me more and more Thine own! Tune Title: [All Thy works, O Heavenly Father]

All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us;
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary,
Faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love, all other love transcending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided,
Pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
Amen.

Forgive our foolish ways!

Beside the Syrian Sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word,
Rise up and follow Thee.
3 Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
4 Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm!

So that naught today has harmed me.

And the pomp of day is gone,
And my heart is tired and saddens,
As the gloomy night comes on;

Warm and cheer my heart tonight;
As the shadows round me gather,
Keep me close to Thee, my Father.

Send Thy blessing on my sleep,
Every sin and terror banished,
Let my rest be calm and deep.

All my loved ones, house and wealth,
Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger,
Keep Thou safe from harm and danger.

To the prayer Thy child hath made;
Jesus, while the night hours darken,
Be Thou still my hope, my aid;
Holy Ghost, on Thee I call,
Friend and Comforter of all,
Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me!
Yea, Thou hearest, Thou art near me.

Till thou thy Spirit give.

My soul without it dies.
