1 Kings 3:5

• [1Ki 3:5] And Dost Thou Say

  And dost Thou say, “Ask what thou wilt”? Lord, I would seize the golden hour; I pray to be released from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan’s power. More of Thy presence, Lord, impart, More of Thine image let me bear; Erect Thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there. Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from Thy joy to draw my strength; To have Thy boundless love revealed In all its height, and breadth, and length. Grant these requests—I ask no more, But to Thy care the rest resign; Living or dying, rich or poor, All shall be well if Thou art mine.

1 Kings 4:29

• [1Ki 4:29] Dear God, Our Father

  Dear God, our Father, at Thy knees confessing Our sins and follies, close in Thine embrace, Children forgiven, happy in Thy blessing, Deepen our spirits to receive Thy grace. Not for more beauty would our eyes entreat Thee, Flooded with beauty, beauty everywhere; Only for keener vision that may greet Thee, In all Thy vestures of the earth and air. The stars and rainbows are Thy wondrous wearing, Sunlight and shadow moving on the hills; Holy the meadow where Thy feet are faring, Holy the brooklet that Thy laughter fills. Not for more love our craving hearts implore Thee, But for more power to love until they glow Like hearths of comfort, eager to restore Thee, Hidden in human wretchedness and woe. In souls most sullen Thou art softly dreaming Of saints and heroes wrought from Thy divine Pity and patience, still the lost redeeming, Deepen our spirits for love like Thine.

1 Kings 8:57

• [1Ki 8:57] God Be In My Head

  God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at mine end, and at my departing.

• [1Ki 8:57] Now God Be With Us

  Now God be with us, for the night is closing: The light and darkness are of His disposing, And ’neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Master, o’er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us. Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o’ertakes us, Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us, All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing, Thy praise pursuing. As Thy belovèd, soothe the sick and weeping, And bid the prisoner lose his griefs in sleeping; Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them, Do Thou befriend them. We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy kingdom given, Thy will be done on earth as ’tis in Heaven; Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever!
