Hymns

#62 – Beautiful Savior (Children’s Songbook)

1. Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer the moonlight
And all the stars in heav’n above;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
And brings to all the world his love.

2. Fair are the meadows,
Fairer the woodlands,
Robed in the flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer.

3. Beautiful Savior!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I honor, praise, and give glory,

Words: Anon., 12th century
Music: Silesian folk song, arr. by Darwin
Wolford, b. 1936. Arr. © 1989 IRI

 

#97 – Lead Kindly Light

1. Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom;
Lead thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead thou me on!
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene—one step enough for me.

2. I was not ever thus, nor pray’d that thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,
Lead thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years.

3. So long thy pow’r hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone.
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Text: John Henry Newman, 1801–1890
Music: John B. Dykes, 1823–1876

 

#1022 – Faith in Every Footstep

1. A marvelous work has begun to come forth
Among all the children of men.
O ye that embark in the service of God,
Give heart, mind, and strength unto Him;
For prophets have spoken and angels have
come
To lift the world from sin,
That Christ may reign over all the earth

2. Those marvelous Saints who embraced this
great work
And shared it in lands far and near—
Who gave all their heart, mind, and strength to
the Lord
With wisdom and vision so clear—
Now stand as examples of virtue and faith,
Of souls prepared to hear,

3. If we now desire to assist in this work
And thrust in our sickle with might,
If we will embark in the service of God
To harvest in fields that are white,
Our souls may receive the salvation of God—
The fulness of His light—
Then we may stand, free of sin and blame,
God’s glory in our sight.

Chorus
With faith in ev’ry footstep,
We follow Christ, the Lord;
And filled with hope through His pure love,
We sing with one accord.
