Canada, Eh!

It’s that time of the year again, the time we take to celebrate the birth of our nation. We turn our thoughts to all things Canadian; the noble Mounties on horseback dressed in their red serge splendour, the mighty moose, the fluffy beaver, the majestic Canadian goose, and of course, everyone’s favourite (and one of

Sing to the Lord of Harvest

Sing to the Lord of harvest, Sing songs of love and praise; With joyful hearts and voices Your hallelujahs raise; By Him the rolling seasons In fruitful order move; Sing to the Lord of harvest A song of grateful love. By Him the clouds drop fatness, The deserts bloom and spring, The hills leap up

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child; Pity my simplicity; Suffer me to come to Thee. Fain I would to Thee be brought – Gracious Lord, forbid it not; In the Kingdom of Thy grace Give a little child a place. Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb, In Thy gracious hands I am; Make

Follow Thou Me

By the peaceful shores of Galilee, Mending their nets by the silvery sea, The fishermen toiled at their tasks each day, Till the Master walketh along that way. CHORUS: Follow thou Me, He calls again, And I will make you fishers of men; As in the days by Galilee, Jesus is calling you and me.

Within a lodge of broken bark the tender Babe was found;A ragged robe of

I have a Home that is fairer than day, And my dear Saviour has shown me the way; Oft when I’m sad and temptations arise, I look to my Home far away. My Home is in Heaven; there is no parting there. All will be happy, glorious, bright and fair; There’ll be no sorrow, there

Eternal God, Unchanging

Eternal God, unchanging Through all the changing years, Whose hands all things created, Who holds the countless stars; Enthroned in heavenly glory, Yet not a God afar, Thou deignest to have dwelling Here where Thy people are. Forbid that man’s achievements Should cause our faith to wane, Or seek in human wisdom Our spirit to

Thanksgiving Thoughts

When I was growing up in one of my favourite times of year was when we had the Harvest Festival at church. We didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving there in the same way it’s done in Canada and the U.S. In Belfast there was no designated holiday, but all the churches celebrated Harvest Festival! Oh, how I
