Father in heaven, Who lovest all
Author: Rudyard Kipling Hymnal: The Hymnal #367 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Father in heaven, who lovest all,
O help thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefilèd heritage.
Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That, in our time, thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
334
Teach us to look in all our ends
On thee for Judge and not our friends;
That we, with thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favour of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under thee, we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the sun.
Amen.
(Land of our birth, our faith, our pride,
For whose dear sake our fathers died;
O Motherland, we pledge to thee
Head, heart, and hand through the years to be.)

Father in heaven, Who lovest all
Jesus, from Thy throne on high
Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Hymnal #368 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Jesus, from thy throne on high,
Far above the bright blue sky,
Look on us with loving eye:
Little children need not fear,
When they know that thou art near:
Thou dost love us, Savior dear:
Little hearts may love thee well,
Little lips thy love may tell,
Little hymns thy praises swell:
335
Little lives may be divine,
Little deeds of love may shine,
Little ones be wholly thine:
Jesus, once an infant small,
Cradled in the oxen's stall,
Though the God and Lord of all:
Once a child so good and fair,
Feeling want, and toil, and care,
All that we may have to bear:
Jesus, thou dost love us still,
And it is thy holy will
That we should be safe from ill:
Be thou with us every day,
In our work and in our play,
When we learn and when we pray:
When we lie asleep at night,
Ever may thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning light:
Make us brave without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that thou art always near:
May we prize our Christian name,
May we guard it free from blame,
Fearing all that causes shame:
336
May we grow from day to day,
Glad to learn each holy way,
Ever ready to obey:
May we ever try to be
From all sinful tempers free,
Pure and gentle, Lord, like thee:
May our thoughts be undefiled,
May our words be true and mild,
Make us each a holy child:
Jesus, Son of God most high,
Who didst in a manger lie,
Who upon the cross didst die:
Jesus, from thy heavenly throne,
Watching o'er each little one,
Till our life on earth is done:
Jesus, whom we hope to see
Calling us in heaven to be
Happy evermore with thee:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Amen.

Jesus, from Thy throne on high
Far from my heavenly home
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #408 (1916) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Far from my heavenly home,
Far from my Father's breast,
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come,
And speed me to my rest.
My spirit homeward turns,
And fain would thither flee;
My heart, O Sion, droops and yearns,
When I remember thee.
To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road;
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saints' abode?
God of my life, be near:
On thee my hopes I cast:
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last!
Amen.

Now thank we all our God
Author: Martin Rinkart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal #422 (1916) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Now thank we all our God,
With heart, and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who from our mother's arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us!
With ever-joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in his grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
In this world and the next.
Amen.

Now thank we all our God
All good gifts around us
Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane M. Campbell Hymnal: The Hymnal #423 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Topics: Sunday Schools General Use First Line: We plow the fields, and scatter Lyrics:
We plow the fields, and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love.
385
He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey him,
By him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread.
We thank thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food:
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
Amen.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,

This our hymn of grateful praise
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
387
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Amen.

My country, 'tis of thee
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal #427 (1916) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
389
Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King.
Amen.

God bless our native land;
Firm may she ever stand
Through storm and night:
When the wild tempests rave.

Do thou our country save
By thy great might.

To God, above the skies;
On him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To thee aloud we cry,
God save the state!
Amen.

O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
Remember, Lord, thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told;
Remember not our sin's dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on thy faithful word?
None ever called on thee in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain!
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Jesus, still lead on
Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnal #449a (1916) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics:
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our Fatherland.
409
If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe
To our home we go.
When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief;
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won:
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our Fatherland.
Amen.
