Angel voices ever singing
Author: Francis Pott (1832-1909) Meter: 8.5.8.5.8.4.3 Appears in 378 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27-30 Lyrics: 1 Angel voices ever singing
round your throne of light,
angel harps for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless you
and confess you
Lord of might.
2 Lord, we know your heart rejoices
in each work devine,
you did ears and hands and voices
for your praise design;
craftsman's art and music's measure
for your pleasure
all combine.
3 In your house our gifts we offer
from your love so free;
and for your acceptance proffer
all unworthily,
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest
psalmody.
4 Honour, glory, might, and merit
yours shall ever be,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Earth and heaven join in praising,
voices raising
joyfully. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Dedication; Angels; Arts and Creativity; Offering of gifts Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

In the bleak midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone:
snow had fallen,
snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter,
long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him,
nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him whom cherubim
worship night and day,
a breastful of milk
and a mangerful of hay:
enough for him
whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel
which adore.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air,
but only his mother,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the Beloved
with a kiss.
5 What can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb,
if I were a wise man
I would do my part,
yet what I can I give him,
give my heart.

Only-Begotten Word of God Eternal
Author: M. J. Blacker Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:30 Lyrics: 1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal,
Lord of Creation, merciful and mighty,
hear now thy servants when their joyful voices
rise to thy presence.
2 Here in our sickness healing grace aboundeth;
light in our blindness, in our toil refreshment:
sin is forgiven, hope o'er fear prevaileth,
joy over sorrow.
3 Hallowed this dwelling where the Lord abideth;
this is none other than the gate of heaven;
strangers and pilgrims seeking homes eternal,
pass through its portals.
4 Lord, we beseech thee, as we throng thy temple,
by thy past blessings, by thy present bounty,
smile on thy children, and with tender mercy
hear our petitions.
5 God in three persons, Father everlasting,
Son co-eternal, ever-blessèd Spirit,
thine be the glory, praise, and adoration,
now and for ever.

to thy throne of grace: [Refrain]

God of our planet, forestall and forgive!

health in God's garden,
hope in God's children,
regeneration that peace will complete.

O for a heart to praise my God
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,159 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:61 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free;
a heart that's sprinkled with the blood
so freely shed for me:
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great Redeemer's throne;
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone:
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from him that dwells within:
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
and full of love divine;
perfect and right and pure and good —
a copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
come quickly from above;
write thy new name upon my heart,
thy new best name of Love. Topics: Lent I Year C; Lent III Year B; Proper 8 Year A; Proper 17 Year C Used With Tune: STOCKTON
