All things are thine: no gift have we
Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine: no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee;
And hence with grateful heart to-day,
Thine own before Thy feet we lay
2 Thy will was in the builder's thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran.
3 In weakness and in want we call
On Thee for whom the heavens are small;
Thy glory is Thy children's good,
Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood.
4 O Father! deign these walls to bless
Fill with Thy love their emptiness,
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to Thee!
Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
All things are thine: no gift have we
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord,
Stranger nor foe art thou;
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother, now.
2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee;
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.
3 Come with us; we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in Him, as those have stood
Whose faith the victory won. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
Come in, thou blessed of the Lord
O happy is the man who hears
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction's warning voice;
And who celestial Wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
A length of happy days;
Riches, with splendid honours joined,
Are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
In pleasure's paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Used With Tune: KILMARNOCK
O happy is the man who hears
Eternal Father! strong to save
Author: W. Whiting, 1825-1878 Appears in 425 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! strong to save,
Whose arm doth bind the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
2 O Saviour! whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
3 O Sacred Spirit! who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
Who bad'st its angry tumults cease,
And gavest light, and life, and peace:
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
4 O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. Used With Tune: MELITA
Eternal Father! strong to save
Eternal Source of every joy
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 372 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy,
Well may Thy praise our lips employ,
While in Thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.
2 The flowery spring, at Thy command,
Embalms the air, and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigour shine,
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
3 Thy hand in autumn richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, softened by Thy care,
No more a face of horror wear.
4 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days,
Demand successive songs of praise;
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade.
5 Here in Thy house shall incense rise
As circling Sabbaths bless our eyes;
Still will we make Thy mercies known
Around Thy board, and round our own.
6 O may our more harmonious tongue
In worlds unknown pursue the song;
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolve no more. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
Eternal Source of every joy
We bid thee welcome in the name
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 135 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant: so He came;
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd: guard and keep
This fold from hell and earth and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a watchman: take thy stand
Upon thy tower amidst the sky;
And when the sword comes on the land,
Call us to fight, or warn to fly.
4 Come as an angel, hence to guide
A band of pilgrims on their way;
That, safely walking at thy side,
We fail not, faint not, turn, nor stray.
5 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare:
Life o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
Used With Tune: MOZART
We bid thee welcome in the name
All good gifts around us
Author: Miss J. M. Campbell, 1817-1878; Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815 Appears in 453 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions First Line: We plough the fields and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plough 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.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
For all His love.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WIR PFLUGEN
All good gifts around us
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: S. Baring-Gould, 1834- Appears in 317 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the Promised Land.
Clear before us through the darkness
Gleams and burns the guiding Light;
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires:
3 On the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun:
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward with the Cross our aid;
Bear its shame, and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade.
Soon shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom. Used With Tune: ST. OSWALD Text Sources: After the Danish of B. S. Ingemann
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing
Author: J. Fawcett, 1739-1817 Appears in 1,293 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;
O refresh us,
Travelling through this wilderness!
2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For Thy gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May Thy presence
With us evermore be found.
3 So, whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ever
Reign with Christ in endless day. Used With Tune: DISMISSAL
Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing
Strong Son of God, immortal Love
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Seasons and Occasions Lyrics: 1 Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
2 Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
3 We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from Thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
4 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before. Used With Tune: RIVAULX
Strong Son of God, immortal Love
