Hymns at Home

Saviour, Again To Thy Dear Name We Raise

Saviour, Again To Thy Dear Name We Raise
With One Accord Our Parting Hymn Of Praise;
We Stand To Bless Thee Ere Our Worship Cease,
Then, Lowly Kneeling, Wait Thy Word Of Peace.

Grant Us Thy Peace Upon Our Homeward Way;
With Thee Begun, With Thee Shall End The Day;
Guard Thou The Lips From Sin, The Hearts From Shame,
That In This House Have Called Upon Thy Name.

Grant Us Thy Peace, Lord, Through The Coming Night,
Turn Thou For Us Its Darkness Into Light;
From Harm And Danger Keep Thy Children Free,
For Dark And Light Are Both Alike To Thee.

Grant Us Thy Peace Throughout Our Earthly Life,
Our Balm In Sorrow, And Our Stay Ln Strife;
Then, When Thy Voice Shall Bid Our Conflict Cease,
Call Us, O Lord, To Thine Eternal Peace.

Words: John Ellerton.    Music: Edward J. Hopkins

Unstooping by Walter de la Mare

 Unstooping

Low on his fours the Lion
  Treads with the surly Bear;
But Men straight upward from the dust
  Walk with their heads in air;
The free sweet winds of heaven,
  The sunlight from on high
Beat on their clear bright cheeks and brows
  As they go striding by;
The doors of all their houses
  They arch so they may go
Uplifted o'er the four-foot beasts,
  Unstooping, to and fro.

Hearing the Voice of God?

 

 

The watches of the night  by Kristyn Getty

I look towards the wintering trees

To hush my fretful soul

As they rise to face the icy sky

And hold fast beneath the snow

Their rings grow wide, their roots go deep

That they might hold their height

And stand like valiant soldiers

Through the watches of the night

No human shoulder ever bears

The weight of all the world

But hearts can sink beneath the ache

Of trouble's sudden surge

Yet far beyond full knowing

There's a strong unsleeping light

That reaches round to hold me

Through the watches of the night

I have cried upon the steps that seem

Too steep for me to climb

And I've prayed against a burden

I did not want to be mine

But here I am and this is where

You're calling me to fight

And You I will remember

Through the watches of the night

You I will remember

Through the watches of the night

France's Revolution is Evil; America's Independence is Just. Why?

France's Revolution is Evil; America's Independence is Just. Why?

 "If France's Revolutionary War was evil as so many Christians agree that it was, how can we justify America's War of Independence?" Hint: Acts 17:26 when compared to the same truth regarding what a family is.

Book of Common Place

• And first she called up all the doctors who give little children so much physic - they were most of them old ones, for the young ones have learned better - all but a few army surgeons, who still fancy that a baby's inside is much like a Scotch grenadier's. Chapter 5; Water Babies, by Charles Kingsley.
• The story of the game has been traced right back to a pamphlet of 1624, well within living memory of the event; but Drake's alleged remark is a later addition: 'Plenty of time to finish the game and beat the Spaniards after......' One can only say it was just the sort of thing he would have said, if people were getting over-excited. After all, he was expecting the armada..... Whatever anyone else might do, he was not the man to let them imagine he was surprised.... Besides, it was not just a gesture of gallant nonchalance. There really was plenty of time. Chapter 9; The Voyage of the Armada, by David Howarth.
• Our name is Equality 7-2521.... We are twenty one years old. We are six feet tall, and this is a burden, for there are not many men who are six feet tall. Ever have the Teachers and the Leaders pointed to us and frowned and said: "There is evil in your bones, Equality 7-2521, for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers." Chapter 1; Anthem, by Ayn Rand.
• "But have you ever noticed one encouraging thing about me, Marilla? I never make the same mistake twice." Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy M. Montgomery.
• "Sia!" Said Cary: "But if he be admitted, it must be done according to the solemn forms and ceremonies in such cases provided. Take him into the next room, Amyas, and prepare him for his initiation." "What's that?" Asked Amyas, puzzled by the word. But judging from the corner of Will's eye that initiation was Latin for a practical joke, he led forth his victim behind the arras again, and waited five minutes while the room was being darkened, till Frank's voice called to him to bring in the neophyte. Chapter 8, How the Noble Brotherhood of the Rose was Founded. Westward Ho! By Charles Kingsley.
• Ferdinand Columbus recorded how he and his brother Diego, pages to the Queen, were mortified by these wretches hooting at them and shouting, "There go the sons of the Admiral of the Mosquitos, of him who discovered lands of vanity and delusion, the ruin and the grave of Castilian gentlemen!" Chapter 17; Christopher Columbus, Mariner, by Samuel Eliot Morison.

Betwixt and Between - Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson

 “And so you’re a Jacobite?” said I, as I set meat before him.

“Ay,” said he, beginning to eat. “And you, by your long face, should be a Whig?” *

     * Whig or Whigamore was the cant name for those who were
     loyal to King George.

“Betwixt and between,” said I, not to annoy him; for indeed I was as good a Whig as Mr. Campbell could make me.

“And that’s naething,” said he. “But I’m saying, Mr. Betwixt-and-Between,” he added, “this bottle of yours is dry; and it’s hard if I’m to pay sixty guineas and be grudged a dram upon the back of it.”
