Hymn 154
Frances A. Fox, words
Lyman Brackett, music
In Thee, O Spirit true and tender,
I find my life as God’s own child;
Within Thy light of glorious splendor
I lose the earth-clouds drear and wild.
Within Thy love is safe abiding
From every thought that giveth fear;
Within Thy truth a perfect chiding,
Should I forget that Thou art near.
In Thee I have no pain or sorrow,
No anxious thought, no load of care.
Thou art the same today, tomorrow;
Thy love and truth are everywhere.
Readings

Hymn 183
Horatius Bonar, adapted, words
Mason and Webb’s Cantica Laudis, 1850, music
Make haste, O man, to do
Whatever must be done;
Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,
When all to Truth must come.
The useful and the great,
The thing that never dies,
The silent toil that is not lost,—
Set these before thine eyes.
Up, face the task and work;
Fling ease and self away;
This is no time for thee to sleep;
Up, watch, and work, and pray.
Notices

Hymn 595
Susan Mack, alt., words
Susan Booth Mack Snipes; arr. Sue Loomis and Robert Rockabrand, music
When my heart is lost in sorrow,
and light seems far and dim,
There’s a tender prayer I can always pray:
Simply praising Him.
REFRAIN 1
Praise the creator. Let all within me sing!
For that’s what I am made to do, and
comfort it will bring.
When weariness engulfs me,
discouragement sinks in,
There’s a hopeful prayer I can always pray:
Simply praising Him.
REFRAIN 2
Praise the creator. Let all within me sing!
For that’s what I am made to do, and
courage it will bring.
When my days feel much too busy
to find where prayer fits in,
There’s a timeless prayer I can always pray:
Simply praising Him.
REFRAIN 3
Praise the creator. Let all within me sing!
For that’s what I am made to do, and
stillness it will bring.
When earth seems satisfying,
my joys filled to the brim,
There’s still a prayer I need to pray:
Simply praising Him.
REFRAIN 4
Praise the creator. Let all within me sing!
For that’s what I am made to do,
and goodness it will bring.
For that’s what we are made to do,
let all the earth now sing!
