O Thou Who madest land and sea

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless." Amen. Topics: Orphans; Almsgiving and Charities; Orphans; Processionals Missions Used With Tune: MELITA

O Lord, to Us Thy Mercy Show

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly’s path to stray. 2. His saving help is surely near To those His holy name that fear; Thus glory dwells in all our land. Now heavenly truth unites with grace, And righteousness and peace embrace; In full accord they ever stand. 3. Truth springing forth the earth shall crown, And righteousness from Heaven look down, And God on us His goodness shed; Our land shall then with plenty flow, Before Him righteousness shall go, And cause us in His steps to tread.
