†oPening hyMn #322 When Morning Gilds The Skies
When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries, May Jesus Christ be praised! Alike at work and prayer To Jesus I repair, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, May Jesus Christ be praised! Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day When from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praised! The powers of darkness fear When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Ye nations of mankind In this your oneness find, May Jesus Christ be praised! Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound, May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th’eternal song Through all the ages long, May Jesus Christ be praised!
antheM The Staff Of Faith
My faith, it is an oaken staff, The trav’lers well loved aid; My faith, it is a weapon on stout, The soldier’s trusty blade.
I’ll travel on, and still be stirred by prayerful thought, or Holy Word; By all my peril undeterred, A soldier pilgrim staid.
I have a guide, and in His steps when travelers have trod, If there beneath was flinty rock or yielding grassy sod,
They cared not, but with force unspent, unmoved by pain then onward went, Unstayed by pleasures, still they bent their zealous course to God.
My faith, it is an oaken staff, O let me on it lean! My faith, it is a trusty sword, May falsehood find it keen!
Thy spirit Lord, to me impart, O make me what Thou ever art, O patient and courageous heart, As all true saints have been.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled!
My Faith, it is an oaken staff, The twell loved aid.
†Closing hyMn #32 How Firm A Foundation
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed, For I am thy God. And will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.”
“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.”
“The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!”
