Christians the Sons of God
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: John 1:12 First Line: Not all the nobles of the earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth,
Who boast the honors of their birth,
Such real dignity can claim,
As those who bear the christian name.
2 To them the privilege is giv'n
To be the sons and heirs of heav'n;
Sons of the God who reigns on high,
And heirs of joys beyond the sky.
3 [On them, a happy chosen race,
Their father pours his riches grace:
To them his counsels he imparts,
And stamps his image on their hearts.
4 Their infant-cries, their tender age,
His pity and his love engage:
He clasps them in his arms, and there
Secures them with parental care.]
5 His will he makes them early know,
And teaches their young feet to go;
Whispers instruction to their minds,
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
6 When, thro' temptation they rebel,
His chast'ning rode ne makes them feel
Then, with a father's tender heart,
He sooths the pain, and heals the smart.
7 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Their steps he guards with watchful eye,
Leads them from earth to heaven above,
And crowns them with eternal love.
8 If I've the honor, Lord, to be
One of this num'rous family,
On me the gracious gift bestow,
To call thee Abba, father! too.
9 So may my conduct ever prove
My filial piety and love!
Whilst all my brethren clearly trace
Their father's likeness in my face.

I bind unto myself today
Author: St. Patrick (372-466); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation;
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his death on cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spicèd tomb;
his riding up the heavenly way;
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c]
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One, and One in Three,
of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation:
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Being of God Holy and One; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; God In Creation; God in Trinity; God Protection of; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK

Who Is This, So Weak and Helpless
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: John 1:10 Lyrics: 1 Who is this so weak and helpless,
child of lowly Hebrew maid,
rudely in a stable sheltered,
coldly in a manger laid?
'Tis the Lord of all creation,
who this wondrous path has trod;
he is God from everlasting,
and to everlasting God.
2 Who is this, a Man of Sorrows,
walking sadly life's hard way,
homeless, weary, sighing, weeping
over sin and Satan's sway?
'Tis our God, our glorious Savior,
who above the starry sky
now for us a place preparing,
where no tear can dim the eye.
3 Who is this? Behold him shedding
drops of blood upon the ground!
Who is this, despised, rejected,
mocked, insulted, beaten, bound?
'Tis our God, who gifts and graces
on his church is pouring down;
who shall smite in holy vengeance
all his foes beneath his throne.
4 Who is this that hangs there dying
while the rude world scoffs and scorns,
numbered with the malefactors,
torn with nails, and crowned with thorns?
'Tis the God who lives forever
'mid the shining ones on high,
in the glorious golden city,
reigning everlastingly.

To give us grace our wrongs to bear,
To make ill fortune turn to fair.

Let Him to us be drink indeed;
And let us taste with joyfulness
The Holy Spirit's plenteousness.

All glory to the Spirit raise
In equal and unending praise.
