I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Patrick; Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 8 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 forever,
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,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
God’s ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God’s 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 has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Christ the wisdom of God
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 8:12-31 First Line: Shall wisdom cry aloud Lyrics: 1 Shall wisdom cry aloud,
And not her speech be heard?
The voice of God's eternal word,
Deserves it no regard?
2 "I was his chief delight,
"His everlasting Son,
"Before the first of all his works,
"Creation was begun.
3 "Before the flying clouds,
"Before the solid land,
"Before the fields, before the floods
"I dwelt at his right-hand.
4 "When he adorn'd the skies,
"And built them, I was there
"To order when the sun should rise,
"And marshal ev'ry star.
5 "When he pour'd out the sea,
"And spread the flowing deep;
"I gave the flood a firm decree
"In its own bounds to keep.
6 "Upon the empty air
"The earth was balanc'd well:
"With joy I saw the mansion where
"The sons of men should dwell.
7 "My busy thoughts at first
"On their salvation ran,
"Ere sin was born, or Adam's dust
"Was fashion'd to a man.
8."Then come, receive my grace,
"Ye children, and be wise:
"Happy the man that keeps my ways,
"The man that shuns them dies."

All my hope on God is founded
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 8:1-21 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded;
he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
2 Pride of man and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light, and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.
4 Daily doth th' Almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow;
his desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
at his hand;
joy doth wait on his command.
5 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call
one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall. Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 4 Year A; Proper 26 Year A Used With Tune: MICHAEL Text Sources: German

To us the voice of Wisdom cries
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Proverbs 8 Lyrics:
To us the voice of Wisdom cries,
Hearken, ye children, and be wise;
Better than gold the fruit I bear,
Rubies to me may not compare,
Happy the man who daily waits
To hear me, watching at my gates;
Wretched is he who scorns my voice,
Death and destruction are his choice.
To them that love me I am kind;
And those who seek me early find;
My Son, give me thine heart,--and learn
Wisdom from folly to discern.
28
The Lord possess'd me, ere of old,
His hand the firmament unroll'd;
Before He bade the mountains stand,
Or pour'd the ocean round the land.
Rejoicing then before his throne,
From everlasting I was known;
Rejoicing still, as in His sight,
With men on earth is my delight.
Mark, the beginning of my law,
--Fear ye the Lord with sacred awe;
Mark the fulfilment of the whole,
Love ye the Lord with all your soul.
We hear, we learn; may we obey;
Jesus, the life, the truth, the way,
Wisdom and righteousness, we see,
Grace and salvation all in Thee.
