THANK GOD AND TAKE COURAGE

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Monday July 28
===============================

Thank God, and take courage,
Though rough is thy way,
Thy Master will give thee
Fresh strength for each day;
Though foes are around thee,
And danger alarms,
They cannot unfasten
The clasp of his arms.

Thank God, and take courage.
With Christ on our side;
We still will march onward.
With Jesus to guide.

Thank God and take courage,
There's much work to do,
But Jesus has promised
Our strength to renew;
Thank God, and take courage,
Each step of the way
Is cheered by his presence,
Our helper and stay.

DECREES OF GOD

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Sunday July 27
===============================

Sovereign ruler of the skies!
Ever gracious ever wise!
All our times are in thy hands
Ordered by thy wise commands.

His decrees who form’d the earth,
Fixt my first and second birth;
Parents, native-place, and time,
All appointed were by him.

Thou didst form me by thy power;
Thou wilt guide me, hour by hour;
All my times shall ever be
Ordered by thy wise decree:

THREATENING RAIN

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Saturday July 26
===============================

Enter not into judgement, Lord,
With us a guilty race;
Thy needful succour now afford,
And help us in distress.


Let not the waterspouts descend,
Nor burst upon our plains;
But in thy mercy condescend
To stay the sweeping rains.


Command the clouded sun to shine,
And shed a constant ray;
Directed by a hand divine,
Our night shall turn to day.

ZACCHEUS

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Friday July 25
===============================

Zaccheus climbed the tree,
And thought himself unknown;
But how surprised was he
When Jesus called him down!
The Lord beheld him, though concealed,
And by a word his pow'r revealed.


Wonder and joy at once
Were painted in his face;
Does he my name pronounce?
And does he know my case?
Will Jesus deign with me to dine?
Lord, I, with all I have, am thine!

I SURRENDER ALL

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Wednesday July 23
===============================
 

Savior, ’tis a full surrender,
All I leave to follow Thee;
Thou my Leader and Defender
From this hour shalt ever be.

I surrender all!
I surrender all!
All I have I bring to Jesus,
I surrender all.


As I come in deep contrition,
At this consecrated hour,
Hear, O Christ, my heart’s petition,
Let me feel the Spirit’s pow’r!

No withholding—full confession;
Pleasures, riches, all must flee;
Holy Spirit, take possession!
I no more, but Thou in me.

HE NAMES THE STARS

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Thursday July 24
===============================

Can you count the stars that brightly
Twinkle in the midnight sky?
Can you count the clouds, so lightly
O’er the meadows floating by?
God, the Lord, doth mark their number,
With His eyes that never slumber;
He hath made them every one,
He hath made them every one.


Can you count
the wings now flashing
In the sunshine’s golden light?
Can you count the fishes splashing
In the cooling waters bright?
God, the Lord, a name hath given,
To all creatures under Heaven;
He hath named them every one,
He hath named them every one.

FORGIVEN

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Tuesday July 22
===============================

I spread my sins before the Lord,
And all my secret faults confess;
Thy gospel speaks a pardoning word,
Thy Holy Spirit seals the grace.

How safe beneath thy wings I lie,
When days grow dark, and storms appear!
And when I walk, thy watchful eye
Shall guide me safe from every snare.
