S. B. Monsell (1811-1875) Music – from Rheinhardt (1754) O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, kneel and adore him: the Lord is his Name! Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for thee, comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, guiding thy steps as may best for thee be. Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine; truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to lay on his shrine. These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the Name that is dear; mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! bow down before him, his glory proclaim; with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, kneel and adore him: the Lord is his Name! *** CP 411 Dear Lord and Father of Mankind Words – John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Music – Repton arranged from the Oratorio Judith by C. H. H. Parry (1848-1918) 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways; re-clothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives thy service find, in deeper reverence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard beside the Syrian sea the gracious calling of the Lord, let us, like them, without a word rise up and follow thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee, O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! 4 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. 5 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! *** CP 458 Have faith in God, my heart Words: Bryn Rees (1911-1983) Music: Doncaster, Melody by Samuel Wesley (1766 – 1837) Have faith in God, my heart, trust and be unafraid; God will fulfil in every part each promise he has made. Have faith in God, my mind, though oft thy lights burn low; God’s mercy holds a wiser plan than thou canst fully know, Have faith in God, my soul, his cross for ever stands; and neither life nor death can pluck his children from his hands. Lord Jesus, make me whole; grant me no resting place, until I rest, heart, mind, and soul, the captive of thy grace. *** CP 413 Eternal Father, strong to save Music: Melita, JB Dykes (1823-1876) Words: William Whiting (1825-1878) Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who biddst the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. O Christ, whose voice the waters heard and hushed their raging at thy word, who walkedst on the foaming deep, and calm amidst the storm didst sleep: O, hear us when we cry to Thee, for those in peril on the sea! O Holy Spirit, who didst brood upon the waters dark and rude, and bid their angry tumult cease, and give, for wild confusion, peace: O, hear us when we cry to Thee, for those in peril on the sea! 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: Thus evermore shall rise to thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. ------- Christian Copyright Licence 6125 Music Reproduction Licence 6125 Streaming Licence 133696 PRS for Music Church Licence 10206711
