I Know Not If or Dark or Bright

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.4.8.4 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I know not if or dark or bright Shall be my lot; If that wherein my hopes delight Be best or not. 2. It may be mine to drag for years Toil’s heavy chain, Or day and night my meat be tears On bed of pain. 3. Dear faces may surround my health With smiles and glee, Or I may dwell alone, and mirth Be strange to me. 4. My bark is wafted to the strand By breath divine, And on its helm there rests a hand Other than mine. 5. One who was known in storms to sail I have on board; Above the roaring of the gale I hear my Lord. 6. Safe to the land! safe to the land! The end is this, And then with Him go hand in hand, Far into bliss. Used With Tune: MIDDLETOWN Text Sources: MacMillan's Magazine, 1863

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

Author: Sybel Farish Partridge, 1856-1917 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #4 (2004) Meter: 8.4.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray. Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. 2 Let me both diligently work and duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed just for today. 3 Let me no wrong or idle word unthinking say; but set a seal upon my lips just for today. 4 And if today my tide of life should ebb away, give me the grace of peace divine, dear Lord, today. 5 So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, just for today.

Small Church Music

Meter: 8.4.8.4 Editors: Jir Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
