Prelude
Berceuse (Cradle Song) by Louis Vierne

Hymn 502
Helen C. Benson, alt., words
S. Allen, music
I place them in Your hands, dear God,
I trust them to Your care,
The One who marks the sparrow’s fall
And numbers every hair.
You cherish and You guard them all
From snares of every kind.
No false responsibility
Disturbs my peace of mind.
Your love, far greater than my own,
Provides for them all good.
This have I learned—to humbly trust
Your father-motherhood.

Hymn 523
Maria Louise Baum, alt., words
Suzanne Montgomery, music
Like as a mother, God comforts all Her children;
Comfort is calm, that bids all tumult cease;
Comfort is hope and courage for endeavor,
Comfort is love, whose home abides in peace.
Love is true solace in giving joy for sorrow,—
O, in that light, all earthly loss is gain;
Joy must endure, Love’s giving is forever;
Life is of God, whose radiance cannot wane.
O holy presence, that stills all our demanding,
O love of God, that needs but to be known!
Heaven is at hand, when Your pure touch persuades us,
Comfort of God, that seeks and finds Her own.

Hymn 58
Elizabeth C. Adams, words
Arr. from L. van Beethoven, music
Father, we Thy loving children
Lift our hearts in joy today,
Knowing well that Thou wilt keep us
Ever in Thy blessed way.
Thou art Love and Thou art wisdom,
Thou art Life and Thou art All;
In Thy Spirit living, moving,
We shall neither faint nor fall.
Come we daily then, dear Father,
Open hearts and willing hands,
Eager ears, expectant, joyful,
Ready for Thy right commands.
We would hear no other voices,
We would heed no other call;
Thou alone art good and gracious,
Thou our Mind and Thou our All.
In Thy house securely dwelling,
Where Thy children live to bless,
Seeing only Thy creation,
We can share Thy happiness,
Share Thy joy and spend it freely.
Loyal hearts can feel no fear;
We Thy children know Thee, Father,
Love and Life forever near.
