Genesis 1:2

• [Gen 1:2] Father, Whose Creating Hand

  Father, whose creating hand Made the ocean and the land; All Thy creatures are Thy care, Thou art present everywhere. Hear us, we beseech Thee. Christ, who didst of old appear On the waters, drawing near; Thou art able still to save, Calmly ruling wind and wave. Hear us, we beseech Thee. Holy Ghost, whose presence shed Life where all was dark and dead, By Thy breath we move and live, Thou dost light and order give. Hear us, we beseech Thee. God, to Whom our life we owe, God, whose blood for man did flow, God, who dost within us dwell, Keep us Thine, and all is well. Hear us, we beseech Thee. When the deep in slumber lies Under bright and peaceful skies, When the winds in fury rave, Lifting high the rushing wave, Hear us, we beseech Thee. All our honest labor bless, Give each lawful aim success; In our time of need draw nigh, Saying, “Fear not, it is I.” Hear us, we beseech Thee. Guard the loves ones left behind, Give them peace in heart and mind; Keep us all in union sweet, At our Father’s mercy seat. Hear us, we beseech Thee.

• [Gen 1:2] Hear Us, Thou That Broodest

  Hear us, Thou that broodest o’er the watery deep, Waking all creation from its primal sleep; Holy Spirit, breathing breath of life divine, Breathe into our spirits, blending them with Thine. Refrain Light and life immortal, hear us as we raise, Hearts, as well as voices, mingling prayer with praise. When the sun ariseth in a cloudless sky, May we feel Thy presence, Holy Spirit, nigh; Shed Thy radiance o’er us, keep it cloudless still, Through the day before us, perfecting Thy will. Refrain When the fight is fiercest, in the noontide heat, Bear us, Holy Spirit, to our Savior’s feet; There to find a refuge, till our work is done, There to fight the battle, till the battle’s won. Refrain If the day be falling sadly as it goes, Slowly in its sadness sinking to its close, May Thy love in mercy kindling, ere it die, Cast a ray of glory o’er our evening sky. Refrain Morning, noon, and evening, whensoe’er it be, Grant us, gracious Spirit, quickening life in Thee; Life that gives us, living, life of heavenly love, Life that brings us, dying, life from Heaven above.

• [Gen 1:2] O Lord, Be Us When We Sail

  O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. We need not fear, though all around ’Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon’s roar, Be Thou the Mainguard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. To Thee the Father, Thee the Son, Whom earth and sky adore, And Spirit moving on the deep, Be praise forevermore.

Genesis 1:11-12

• [Gen 1:12] Beautiful Bright Sunshine, The

  The beautiful bright sunshine, That smiles on all below, The waving trees, the cool, soft breeze, The rippling streams that flow, The shadows on the hillsides, The many tinted flowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! The beautiful affections That gather round our way, The joys that rise from household ties, And deepen day by day; The tender love that guards us Whenever danger lowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! But brighter is the shining, And tender is the love, And purer still the joys which fill The unseen home above— The home where all His children Shall sing with fuller power, “O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours!”

Genesis 1:14

• [Gen 1:14] Another Year Is Dawning

  Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be In working or in waiting, another year with Thee. Another year of progress, another year of praise, Another year of proving Thy presence all the days. Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace, Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face; Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast; Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest. Another year of service, of witness for Thy love, Another year of training for holier work above. Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be On earth, or else in Heaven, another year for Thee.

• [Gen 1:14] New Wonders Of Thy Mighty Hand

  New wonders of Thy mighty hand, Lord, we today admire, Writ on the firmament above In glittering orbs of fire. The sun is ruler of the day, The silver moon of night, The starry hosts adorn the sky In ordered ranks of light. But e’en that glorious sun must set, And knows his going down, That silver moon must wax and wane, The stars their courses own. Still in an ever changing round The daylight comes and goes; But Thou art evermore the same, No change Thy mercy knows. Why waver then our troubled hearts? Thine is a Father’s care; And they, eternal life who seek, Eternal life shall share. All praise, all glory be ascribed To God the One in Three, Who bids us cast our care on Him, To Him for comfort flee.

Genesis 31:13

• [Gen 31:13] O God Of Bethel, By Whose Hand

  O God of Bethel, by Whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led. Our vows, our prayers, we now present Before Thy throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race. Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. O spread Thy covering wings around Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father’s loved abode Our souls arrive in peace. Such blessings from Thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore; And Thou shalt be our chosen God, And portion evermore.
