This Is My Father's World
Author: Mary Babcock Crawford, 1909-; Maltbie Babcock, 1858-1901 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
O let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong,
God is the ruler yet.
He trusts us with his world,
to keep it clean and fair--
all earth and trees, all skies and seas,
all creatures everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
he shines in all that's fair;
in the rustling grass I hear him pass,
he speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad! Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

How did my heart rejoice to hear
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 300 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.
2 I love her gates--I love the road;
The church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown,
The holy tribes repair:
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints,
And while his awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants blest!
6 My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains;
Here my best friends, my kindred dwell,
Here God, my Saviour, reigns. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; Delight in the Sabbath and Temple of God

Prayer, for all Missionaries
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:8 First Line: Great God, the nations of the earth Lyrics: 1 Great God, the nations of the earth
Are by creation thine;
And in thy works by all beheld,
Thy radiant glories shine.
2 But, Lord, thy greater love has sent
Thy gospel to mankind,
Unveiling what rich stores of grace
Are treasur'd in thy mind.
3 Lord, when shall these glad tidings spread
The spacious earth around,
'Till ev'ry tribe and ev'ry soul
Shall hear the joyful sound:
4 O when shall Afric's sable sons
Enjoy the heav'nly word,
And vassals long enslav'd become
The freemen of the Lord?
5 When shall th' untutor'd heathen tribes,
A dark bewilder'd race,
Sit down at our Immanuel's feet,
And learn and feel his grace?
6 Haste, sov'reign mercy, and transform
Their cruelty to love;
Soften the tiger to a lamb,
The vulture to a dove!
7 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt
To spread the gospel’s rays,
And build on sin’s demolish'd throne,
The temples of thy praise! Topics: Solemn Prayers, offered up for Jew, Gentile, and the Fulness of the Lost in Adam Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.

Let saints below in concert sing
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:8 Lyrics: 1 Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King
In earth and heaven are one.
2 One family--we dwell with him--
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death:
3 One army of the living God,
To his command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.
5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the ransomed blessed bands
Upon th' eternal shore.
6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide;
And, when the word is given,
Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Our Family of God

and with words of love draw near.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out,
as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near.
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From the east to utmost west,
where human feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God,
"Give ear to me, you continents,
you isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea."
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious Gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world.
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed.
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
