There's a Friend for little children

Author: Albert Midlane Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us, And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy Of that dear Name he bears. There's a rest for little children Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Savior, And to the Father cry; A rest from every turmoil, From sin and sorrow free, Where every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; For every one is happy Nor could be happier there. There's a song for little children Above the bright blue sky, A song that will not weary, Though sung continually; A song which even angels Can never, never sing; They know not Christ as Savior, But worship him as King. 330 There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; All, all above is treasured, And found in Christ alone: Lord, grant thy little children To know thee as their own. Amen. Topics: Catechism; Sunday Schools Closing Hymns; Sunday Schools General Use Used With Tune: IN MEMORIAM (STAINER)

We Plow the Fields and Scatter

Author: Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815; Jane M Cambell, 1817-1878 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 463 hymnals 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. 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. 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. AMEN. Topics: Kingdomtide; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST ANSELM

The world is very evil

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: The world is very evil; The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil; The Judge is at the gate: The Judge who comes in mercy, The Judge who comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead: To the home of fadeless splendour, Of flowers that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children, Who here as exiles mourn; 'Mid power that knows no limit, And wisdom free from bound, Where rests a peace untroubled, Peace holy and profound, O happy, holy portion, Refection for the blest, True vision of true beauty, Sweet cure for all distrest! Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, Till hope be lost in sight. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. I could not do without thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on thee. I could not do without thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. I could not do without thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E'en when my eyes are holden, I know that thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with thee! I could not do without thee; No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it, O blessed Lord, but thine. I could not do without thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; 219 But thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I." Amen. Topics: Sundays after Trinity The Divine Mercy; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: MAGDALENA

My Sins, My Sins

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: My sins, my sins, my Savior! Lyrics: 1. My sins, my sins, my Savior! They take such hold on me, I am not able to look up Save only, Christ, to Thee; In Thee is all forgiveness, In Thee abundant grace, My shadow and my sunshine The brightness of Thy face. 2. My sins, my sins, my Savior! Their guilt I never knew Till, with Thee, in the desert I near Thy passion drew; Till, with Thee, in the garden I heard Thy pleading prayer, And saw the sweat-drops bloody That told Thy sorrow there. 3. Therefore my songs, my Savior, E'en in this time of woe, Shall tell of all Thy goodness To suff'ring man below; Thy goodness and Thy favor, Whose presence from above Rejoice those hearts, my Savior, That live in Thee and love.
