I Feel the Winds of God Today
Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today;
Today my sail I lift,
Though heavy, oft with drenching spray,
And torn with many a rift;
If hope but light the water’s crest,
And Christ my bark will use,
I’ll seek the seas at His behest,
And brave another cruise.
2 It is the wind of God that dries
My vain, regretful tears,
Until with braver thoughts shall rise
The purer, brighter years;
If cast on shores of selfish ease
Or pleasure I should be,
Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze,
And I’ll put back to sea.
3 If ever I forget Thy love
And how that love was shown,
Lift high the blood red flag above;
It bears Thy name alone.
Great Pilot of my onward way,
Thou wilt not let me drift;
I feel the winds of Go
Amen. Topics: Dedication of Life; Invitation to Consecration; Pilgrimage, Christian; Youth Hymns Scripture: Luke 5:4 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Rise Up and Shine! Your Light Has Come
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise up and shine! Your light has come;
God's glory breaks like dawn.
For though the earth be cloaked in night
and gloom shrouds ev'ryone,
yet over you the Lord will rise,
with glory gleaming clear,
till nations turn to seek your light
and humbled kings draw near.
2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night;
no more keep watch or guard.
You will be called God's holy hill,
the city of the Lord.
No sound of strife will plague your land,
nor harm besiege your ways;
"Salvation" will you name your walls,
and all your portals "Praise."
3 No more will you implore the sun
to shed by day its light,
nor will you need the changeful moon
to glisten through the night.
Your glory then will be your God,
whose light will never cease.
Rise up and shine! Your light has come
to give you joy and peace. Used With Tune: DUCHY
Rise Up and Shine! Your Light Has Come
Behold a Sower! from Afar
Author: Washington Gladden, 1836-1918 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a Sower! from afar
He goeth forth with might;
The rolling years His furrows are,
His seed, the growing light;
For all the just His Word is sown,
It springeth up alway;
The tender blade is hope’s young dawn,
The harvest, love’s new day.
2 O Lord of life, to Thee we lift
Our hearts in praise for those,
Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom’s widening ray,
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.
3 Shine forth, O Light, that we may see,
With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made;
Shine forth, and touch the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.
4 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page
From killing bondage free:
Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love’s large liberty.
O Light of light! within us dwell,
Through us Thy radiance pour,
That word and life Thy truths may tell,
And praise Thee evermore.
AMEN.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,400 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.

I Want a Principle Within
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 224 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
of pride or wrong desire,
To catch the wandering of my will,
and quench the kindling fire.
2. From Thee that I no more may stray,
no more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray,
the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
and keep it still awake.
3. Almighty God of truth and love,
to me Thy power impart;
The mountain from my soul remove,
the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
my reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again,
which makes the wounded whole. Used With Tune: GERALD Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

And in God's bosom rest? [Refrain] Topics: Everlasting Life; Jesus Christ His Ascension and Reign; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power Scripture: Joshua 1:2 Used With Tune: STORMY BANKS
