Far Round the World

Author: Basil J. Mathews Hymnal: H4BG1935 #8 (1936) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Far round the world thy children sing their song Lyrics: 1 Far round the world thy children sing their song; From east and west their voices sweetly blend, Praising the Lord, in whom young lives are strong, Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend. 2 Where thy wide ocean, wave on rolling wave, Beats thro' the ages, on each island shore, They praise their Lord, whose hand alone can save, Whose sea of love surrounds them evermore. 3 Thy sun-kissed children on earth's spreading plain, Where Asia's rivers water all the land, Sing, as they watch thy fields of glowing grain, Praise to the Lord who feeds them with his hand. 4 Still there are lands where none have seen thy face, Children whose hearts have never shared thy joy; Yet thou wouldst pour on these thy radiant grace, Give thy glad strength to every girl and boy. 5 All round the world let children sing thy song: From east and west their voices sweetly blend, Praising the Lord in whom young lives are strong, Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend. Amen. Topics: Universal Praise Tune Title: RUTGERS

Seek Not Afar for Beauty

Author: Minot J. Savage Hymnal: H4BG1935 #167 (1936) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Seek not afar for beauty: lo, it glows Lyrics: 1 Seek not afar for beauty: lo, it glows In dew-wet grasses all bout thy feet; In birds, in sunshine, childish faces sweet, In stars and mountain summits topped with snows. 2 Go not abroad for happiness: for see, It is a flower blooming at thy door. Bring love and justice home, and then no more Thou'lt wonder in what dwelling joy may be. 3 Dream not of noble service elsewhere wrought; The simple duty that awaits thy hand Is God's voice offering a divine command, Life's common deeds build all that saints have thought. 4 In wonder-workings, or some bush aflame, Men look for God and fancy him concealed; But in earth's common things he stands revealed, While grass and flowers and stars spell out his name.

The Ships Glide in at the Harbor's Mouth

Author: Margaret E. Sangster Hymnal: H4BG1935 #18 (1936) Meter: 10.7.10.7 Lyrics: 1 The ships glide in at the harbor’s mouth, And the ships sail out to sea, And the wind that sweeps from the sunny south Is sweet as sweet can be. There’s a world of toil and a world of pain, And a world of trouble and care, But O in a world where our Father reigns, There is gladness everywhere. 2 The harvest waves in the breezy morn, And the men go forth to reap; The fullness comes to the tasseled corn, Whether we wake or sleep. And far on the hills by feet untrod There are blossoms that scent the air, But O in this world of our Father, God, There is beauty everywhere. Topics: God In the World Tune Title: DEO GRATIAS
