BELOVED LET US LOVE

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Thursday July 31
===============================

Belovèd, let us love:
love is of God;
In God alone
hath love its true abode.

Belovèd, let us love:
for they who love,
They only, are His sons,
born from above.

Belovèd, let us love:
for love is rest,
And he who loveth not
abides unblest.

THE SECRET PLACE

HYMN FOR TODAY - Wednesday July 30
===============================
There is a safe and secret place,
Beneath the wings divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!


The least and feeblest there may bide,
Uninjured and unawed;
While thousands fall on every side,
He rests secure in God.


He feeds in pastures, large and fair,
Of love and truth divine,
O child of God, O glory’s heir,
How rich a lot is thine!

COME BOLDLY

HYMN FOR TODAY - Tuesday July 29

===============================

Come, ye who from 

your hearts believe

That Jesus answers prayer,

Come boldly to a throne of grace

And claim His promise there,

That, if His love in us abide

And we in Him are one,

Whatever in His Name we ask

It surely will be done.

Come lovingly and trustingly,

Take Jesus at His Word,

For He has said, “the prayer of faith

Was never yet unheard.”

If in the “fountain filled with blood”

Our sins are washed away

Come boldly to a throne of grace,

Rejoicing that we may

Come boldly to a throne of grace,

And bless the Lord our King—

Who fills our

grateful hearts with praise,

And tunes our tongues to sing.

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!
