A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing

Author: Elizabeth Rundle Charles; The Venerable Bede (ca. 672-735); Benjamin Webb Hymnal: WSH1972 #273 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing, New hymns throughout the world shall ring; By a new way none ever trod Christ takes his place—the throne of God! 2 You are a present joy, O Lord; You will be ever our reward;, And great the light in you we see To guide us to eternity. 3 O risen Christ, ascended Lord, All praise to you let earth accord, Who are, while endless ages run, With Father and with Spirit, One.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Frederic H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: WSH1972 #274 (1972) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper he amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Does seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own choosing. You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he, The Lord of Hosts his name, From age to age the same, And he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God has willed His truth to triumph through us; The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, is standing; The Spirit and the gifts are ours— We answer his commanding. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth is ruling still— His kingdom is forever! Amen.

Abide with Me: Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: WSH1972 #278 (1972) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like yourself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 3 I fear no foe, with you at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen.

By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, Your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation; Your death of anguish and your bitter passion, For my salvation. 4 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, Think on your pity and your love unswerving, Not my deserving.

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: WSH1972 #281 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The hand that shaped the rose has wrought The crystal of the snow, Has sent the hoary frost of heaven, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold. Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day does utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of your name. Amen.

All Glory, Laud, and Honor

Author: John Mason Neale; Theodulph of Orleans Hymnal: WSH1972 #284 (1972) Lyrics: 1 All glory, laud, and honor To thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring! The people of the Hebrews With palms before thee went; Our praise and prayer and anthems Before thee we present. 2 Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David's royal son, Who in the Lord's name comest, The King and blessed One; To thee, before thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise; To thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. 3 Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King, All glory, laud, and honor To thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring! Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Christian Year Palm Sunday Tune Title: ST.
