All Things Bless Thee
Author: James A. Mitchell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: All things bless Thee, God most holy Lyrics: 1 All things bless Thee, God most holy,
To Thy feet their worship bring;
Thou art worthy of all praises,
Ever blessèd glorious King.
Earth, and air, and ocean’s fullness,
All Thy power and love declare;
And in this exultant chorus,
May not little children share?
2 Childhood’s treasures are Thy giving,
Sunny days and laughing hours,
Daisied meadows in the springtime,
Roses in the summer bowers—
Food and raiment, home and shelter,
Sleep for wearied eye and limb,
Dawning day, and happy waking
To the birds’ sweet morning hymn.
3 And when old and young had wandered
Into faults and follies wild,
Surely Thou didst think of children,
Sending forth Thy Son a child.
Lord, forgive our many errors,
And restore us when we fall,
Thy loved Child is our Redeemer—
By His mercy save us all.
4 Help us now to be as He was,
Pure and gentle, good and kind,
Give us of His peaceful spirit,
And His "meek and lowly" mind.
Teach our hearts to feel Thy mercy,
Turn our eyes to look to Thee;
May we trust in Thee our Father,
And Thy loving children be.
5 And when youth’s brief morn is over,
Still be Thou our constant guide;
Through the hot day’s dusty travel,
Set of sun, and eventide.
And when death’s dark night has fallen,
Lead us through the "awful door";
Satisfy us with Thy presence,
Be our joy forevermore. Used With Tune: IONA Text Sources: The School Hymnal by W. R. Stevenson (London: E. Marlborough & Company, 1880)
All Things Bless Thee
Saviour, sprinkle many nations
Author: A. C. Coxe Appears in 161 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations:
Fruitful let Thy sorrows be;
By Thy pains and consolation,
Draw the Gentiles unto Thee.
Of Thy Cross the wondrous story,
Be it to the nation told;
Let them see Thee in Thy glory
And Thy mercy manifold.
3 Far and wide, though all unknowing,
Pants for Thee each mortal breast,
Human tears for Thee are flowing,
Human hearts in Thee would rest.
4 Thirsting as for dews of even,
As the new-mown grass for rain,
Thee they seek as God of heaven,
Thee as Man for sinners slain.
5 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting!
Stretched the hand and strained the sight,
For Thy Spirit, new creating
Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light.
6 Give the word, and of the preacher
Speed the foot and touch the tongue,
Till on earth by every creature
Glory to the Lamb be sung! Topics: The Church Missions Used With Tune: IONA

Heavenly Father, Send Thy Blessing
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 135 hymnals First Line: Heav'nly Father, send Thy blessing Lyrics: 1. Heav’nly Father, send Thy blessing
On Thy children gathered here,
May they all, Thy name confessing,
Be to Thee forever dear;
May they be, like Joseph, loving,
Dutiful, and chaste, and pure;
And their faith, like David, proving,
Steadfast unto death endure.
2. Holy Savior, who in meekness
Didst vouchsafe a child to be,
Guide their steps, and help their weakness,
Bless and make them like to Thee;
Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary,
In Thine arms and at Thy breast;
Through life’s desert, dry and dreary,
Bring them to Thy heav’nly rest.
3. Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them,
Holy Spirit, from above,
Guide them, lead them, go before them,
Give them peace, and joy, and love;
Thy true temples, Holy Spirit,
May they with Thy glory shine,
And immortal bliss inherit,
And forevermore be Thine. Used With Tune: IONA Text Sources: The Holy Year, third edition, 1863
Heavenly Father, Send Thy Blessing
King of saints, to Whom the number
Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King of saints, to Whom the number
Of Thy starry host is known,
Many a name, by man forgotten,
Lives for ever round Thy throne:
Lights, which earth-born mists have darkened,
There are shining full and clear,
Princes in the court of heaven,
Nameless, unremembered here.
2 In the roll of Thine apostles
One there stands, Bartholomew,
He for whom to-day we offer,
Year by year, our praises due:
How he toiled for Thee and suffered
None on earth can now record;
All his saintly life is hidden
In the knowledge of his Lord;
3 None can tell us: all is written
In the Lamb's great book of life,
All the faith, and prayer, and patience
All the toiling, and the strife:
There are told Thy hidden treasures:
Number us, O Lord, with them,
When Thou makest up the jewels
Of Thy living diadem.
Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Bartholomew; Associations of Guilds Used With Tune: IONA
