642 – We Praise Thee With Our Minds

1
We praise Thee with our minds,
O Lord
Kept sharp think Thy thought;
Come,
Holy Ghost with grace outpoured,
To teach what Christ hath taught.

In all our learning may we seek
That wisdom from above
Which comes to all: the brave,
the meek
Who ask in faith and love.

2
We praise Thee thro’ our bodies,
Lord,
Kept strong to do Thy will;

Thy Spirit’s temples, which afford
A means to praise Thee still.
We give ourselves, a sacrifice,
To live as unto Thee;
For Thou alone hast paid the price
To bring salvation free.

3
We praise Thee in our hearts,
O king,
Kept pure to know Thy ways;
And raise to Thee a hymn to sing

Eternally Thy praise.
Altho adoring hearts will bow

As age on ages roll;
We praise Thee in our beings now,
Mind, body, heart, and soul.

643 – Father, Who on Us Do Shower

1
Father, who on us do shower
Gifts of plenty form Your dower,
To Your people give the power
All Your gifts to use aright.

2
Give pure happiness in leisure
Temperance in every pleasure,
Wholesome use of earthly treasure
Bodies clean and spirits bright.

3
Lift from this and every nation
All that brings us degradation;
Quell the forces of temptation;
Put Your enemies to flight.

4
Father, You who sought and found us,
Son of God, whose love has bound us,
Holy Spirit, in us, round us,
Hear us, Godhead infinite.

644 – O God, Whose Will Is Life and Good

1
O God, whose will is life and good
For all of mortal breath:
Unite in bonds of servanthood
All those who strive with death.

2
Make strong their hands and hearts and wills
To drive disease afar,
To strive against the body’s ills
And wage Your healing war.

3
By healing of the sick and blind,
Christ’s mercy they proclaim,
Make known the great physician’s mind,
Affirm the Savior’s name.

4
Before them set Your gracious will,
That they, with heart and soul,
To You may consecrate their skill
And make the sufferer whole.
