I Bind unto Myself Today

Author: Patrick of Ireland (389?-461?); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: Irregular Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 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 spiced 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 starlit 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. 5 Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. 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. Topics: Call and Vocation; Covenant; Ordination; Trinity Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 13.13.13.13 Appears in 1,679 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 First Line: From Greenland's icy mountains, from India's coral strand Lyrics: 1 From Greenland’s icy mountains, from India’s coral strand; Where Afric’s sunny fountains roll down their golden sand: From many an ancient river, from many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver their land from error’s chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes blow soft o’er Ceylon’s isle; Though every prospect pleases, and only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness the gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted with wisdom from on high, Shall we to those benighted the lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth’s remotest nation has learned Messiah’s Name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, and you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, it spreads from pole to pole: Till for His ransomed people the Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, in bliss returns again.
