Proverbs 3:6-7

• [Pro 3:6] Lead Us, O Father

  Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace: Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth: Unhelped by Thee, in error’s name we grope, While passion stains, and folly dims our youth, And age comes on, uncheered by faith or hope. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right: Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night; Only with Thee we journey safely on. Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee.

• [Pro 3:6] Leader Of Faithful Souls

  Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay While held in life’s uneven sway. We’ve no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints’ abode, Whose founder is the living God. Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing. Raised by the breath of love divine, We urge our way with strength renewed, The Church of the first-born to join, We travel to the mount of God; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Captain in the skies.

Proverbs 8:22

• [Pro 8:22] Ere God Had Built The Mountains

  Ere God had built the mountains, Or raised the fruitful hills; Before He filled the fountains That feed the running rills; In me from everlasting, The wonderful I Am, Found pleasures never wasting, And Wisdom is my name. When, like a tent to dwell in, He spread the skies abroad, And swathed about the swelling Of Ocean’s mighty flood; He wrought by weight and measure, And I was with Him then: Myself the Father’s pleasure, And mine, the sons of men. Thus Wisdom’s words discover Thy glory and Thy grace, Thou everlasting Lover Of our unworthy race! Thy gracious eye surveyed us Ere stars were seen above; In wisdom Thou hast made us, And died for us in love. And couldst Thou be delighted With creatures such as we, Who, when we saw Thee, slighted, And nailed Thee to a tree? Unfathomable wonder, And mystery divine! The voice that speaks in thunder, Says, “Sinner, I am thine!”

• [Pro 8:22] Shall Wisdom Cry Aloud?

  Shall Wisdom cry aloud, And not her speech be heard? The voice of God’s eternal Word, Deserves it no regard? “I was His chief delight, His everlasting Son, Before the first of all His works, Creation, was begun. “Before the flying clouds, Before the solid land, Before the fields, before the floods, I dwelt at His right hand. “When He adorned the skies, And built them, I was there, To order where the sun should rise, And marshal every star. “When He poured out the sea, And spread the flowing deep, I gave the flood a firm decree In its own bounds to keep. “Upon the empty air The earth was balanced well: With joy I saw the mansion where The sons of men should dwell. “My busy thoughts at first On their salvation ran, Ere sin was born, or Adam’s dust Was fashioned to a man. “Then come, receive My grace, Ye children, and be wise; Happy the man that keeps My ways; The man that shuns them dies.”

Proverbs 13:9

• [Pro 13:9] Hail, Holy Light! The World Rejoices

  Hail, holy Light! The world rejoices As morning breaks and shadows fly; All nature blends her myriad voices To greet the dayspring from on high, To greet the dayspring from on high. Break forth, in glory far excelling, O Light eternal, Love divine! Let Thy bright beams, all shades dispelling, Around us and within us shine, Around us and within us shine. The heav’nly hosts fall down before Thee, And “Holy!” cry, nor ever rest; The saints on earth, with them, adore Thee, Creator, Savior, Spirit blest, Creator, Savior, Spirit blest. O God, if we could duly praise Thee, Could we but voice the love we see, As sweet as song as angels raise Thee, Our Sabbath morning hymn should be, Our Sabbath morning hymn should be. Accept, O Father, we entreat Thee, The worship which Thy children bring; O, grant us grace in Heav’n to greet Thee, And with all saints Thy love to sing, And with all saints Thy love to sing.

Proverbs 14:26-27

• [Pro 14:26] Beneath The Cross Of Jesus

  Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet, O trysting place where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet! As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was given, So seems my Savior’s cross to me, a ladder up to heaven. There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave. Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess; The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Proverbs 16:2-5

• [Pro 16:3] Life In The Loom

  Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, What are you weaving? labor and sorrow? Look to your loom again, faster and faster Fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master. There’s life in the loom! Room for it, room! There’s life in the loom! Room for it, room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, Lighten the labor and sweeten the sorrow; Now while the shuttles fly faster and faster, Up and be doing the work with the Master. He stands at the loom! Room for Him, room! He stands at the loom! Room for Him, room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, Look at your fabric of labor and sorrow; Seamy and dark with despair and disaster, Turn it and lo, the design of the Master. The Lord’s at the loom! Room for Him, room! The Lord’s at the loom! Room for Him, room!

• [Pro 16:4] Holy Father, God Almighty

  Holy Father, God almighty, Holy Jesus, God adored, Holy Spirit, God of comfort, Holy, holy, holy Lord! All our praises rise before You, God who made all that exists. As You did with ancient offerings, Send Your Spirit on our gifts. You gave us Your body, Jesus, On the night You were betrayed— Bread of heaven, earthly feasting— Sacrifice for sins now paid. And You gave Your blood to nourish Body, spirit and the soul— Cup of blessing that did heal us— Liquid that did make us whole. We recall Your incarnation! We recall Your earthly life! We recall Your crucifixion Full of agony and strife! We recall Your resurrection From the grave though sealed with stone! This Your victory over death, Lord, Gives us promise for our own. And recalling Your ascension, We entreat You and implore That You soon return and take us To be with You evermore! Send Your Spirit to be with us As we pilgrim through this life. Keep your church and all our loved ones From all evil and all strife. With the saints and with the angels We are longing, Lord, to be, Where with praise and adoration, Our Redeemer we shall see. Through and with and in Christ Jesus, In the Spirit’s unity, Be all honor to the Father Now and through eternity!

Proverbs 22:19

• [Pro 22:19] Mother’s Goodbye, The

  Sit down by the side of your mother, my boy, You have only a moment, I know; But you’ll stay till I give you my parting advice, ’Tis all that I have to bestow. You leave us to seek for employment, my boy, By the world you have yet to be tried; But in all the temptations and struggles you meet, May your heart in the Savior confide. Refrain Hold fast to the right, Hold fast to the right, Wherever your footsteps may roam; O forsake not the way of salvation, my boy, That you learned from your mother at home. You’ll find in your satchel a Bible, my boy, ’Tis the book of all others the best; It will teach you to live, it will help you to die, And lead to the gates of the blest. I gave you to God, in your cradle, my boy, I have taught you the best that I knew; And as long as His mercy permits me to live, I shall never cease praying for you. Refrain Your father is coming to bid you goodbye, O how lonely and sad we shall be; But when far from the scenes of your childhood and youth, You’ll think of your father and me. I want you to feel every word I have said, For it came from the depths of my love; And, my boy, if we never behold you on earth, Will you promise to meet us above? Refrain

Proverbs 31:30

• [Pro 31:30] The Praises Of That Saint We Sing

  The praises of that saint we sing, To whom all lands their tribute bring, Who with indomitable heart, Bore throughout life true woman’s heart. Restraining every froward sense By gentle bonds of abstinence, With prayer her hungry souls she fed, And thus to heavenly joys hath sped. King Christ, from Whom all virtue springs, Who only doest wondrous things, As now to Thee she kneels in prayer, In mercy our petitions hear. All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee; Whom with the Spirit we adore Forever and forevermore.
