Dall Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Bearing the Savior’s story Lyrics: 1 Bearing the Savior’s story O’er many leagues of flood, ’Neath Afric’s sky of glory, In midnight prayer I stood, While other constellations The Southern Cross outshone, And said, "Go teach all nations The cross, that wins the crown." 2 "Take, Lord! oh, my defender!" The grateful herald prayed, "My uttermost surrender Of heart and hand and head!" "The cross of suffering, wear it," Came whispered o’er the sea: "Fear not, for thou canst bear it: Christ bore it once for thee."

O Father, We Would Thank Thee

Author: Ada R. Greenaway Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Father, we would thank Thee For all Thy love has given, Our present joy of sonship, Our future joy in Heaven; The life which sin had blighted So wondrously restored By our mysterious union With Jesus Christ our Lord. 2. Rich gifts of life and gladness— A new and heav’nly birth, Baptismal waters flowing To cleanse the sons of earth; The strength in which to follow The steps that Jesus trod; And love beyond all knowledge Which calls us sons of God. 3. O mercy all abundant Bestowed on us today! O hope of future glory Which fadeth not away! By God’s great love begotten To living hope and sure, May we at Christ’s appearing Be pure as He is pure. 4. For all Thy gifts, O Father, Our hymns of praise arise— The love which calls us children, The hope which purifies; The grace by which we offer A service glad and free; The earnest of perfection, Of fuller life with Thee.

Through Jesus' Blood and Merit

Author: Simon Dach Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: Thro' Jesus' blood and merit Lyrics: 1 Thro' Jesus' blood and merit I am at peace with God; What, then, can daunt my spirit, However dark my road? My courage shall not fail me, For God is on my side; Tho' hell itself assail me, Its rage I may deride. 2 There's naught that can sever Me from the great love of God, No want, no pain whatever, No famine, peril, flood. Tho' thousand foes surround me, For slaughter mark Thy sheep, They never shall confound me, The vict'ry I shall reap. 3 Yea, neither life's temptation Nor death's so trying hour, Nor angels of high station, Nor any other pow'r, Nor things that now are present, Nor things that are to come, Nor height, however pleasant, Nor depths of deepest gloom, 4 Nor any creature ever Shall from the love of God This wretched sinner sever; For in my Savior's blood This love its fountain taketh; He hears my faithful prayer And nevermore forsaketh His own dear child and heir. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 Used With Tune: ICH DANK' DIR, LIEBER HERRE Text Sources: Tr. composite

The Wonder Working Master

Author: John of Damascus, 675-749; William C. Dix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wonder working Master Once deigned His race to save, When dry land for His people He made the Red Sea wave; Now born for us, all willing, Of maiden pure and sweet, The path to heavenly mansions He opens to our feet. 2 The bush unburned most truly Portrays the holy womb, Whence sprung the Word incarnate To loose the ancient doom, And all the bitter sorrows Of Eva’s curse to stay, The Word, who hither wended Our sin to do away. 3 To Him, with God the Father In substance truly One, One with mankind, from all men Be laud for ever done: God to our human nature, To our mortality In form conjoined, we worship, And Him we glorify. 4 Thee, Word of God eternal, Who wert before the sun, The star showed to the Magi, A poor and suffering One: Thee, swaddled in a manger, They saw with glad accord, And hailed Thee with rejoicing, True man, and yet the Lord.
