Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 490 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Your mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it close.
2 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Your guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Your feet.
3 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, and You our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
Beset by change but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
And keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
The victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
And never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
A caring church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
And clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
Can cure the fever in our blood,
And teach us how to share our bread
And feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
In full obedience to our Lord:
To care for all, without reserve,
And spread his liberating word. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

The Glory of These Forty Days

we celebrate with songs of praise,
for Christ, by whom all things were made,
himself has fasted and has prayed.

the loving God who gave the law.
And to Elijah, fasting, came
the steed and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
delivered from the lion’s might.
And John, the Savior’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.
4 Then grant, O God, that we may, too,
return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
and give us joy to see your face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Heritage Before 1500; John the Baptist; Lent Scripture: 2 Kings 2:11 Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Clarum decus jejunii, 11th c.; trans. Maurice F. Bell (England), The English Hymnal, 1906, alt.

O Love of God, How Strong and True
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true,
eternal and yet ever new,
uncomprehended and unbought,
beyond all knowledge and all thought.
2 O heavenly love, how precious still
in days of weariness and ill,
in nights of pain and helplessness,
to heal, to comfort, and to bless.
3 O wide-embracing, wondrous love!
we read you in the sky above;
we read you in the earth below,
in seas that swell and streams that flow.
4 We read you in the flowers, the trees,
the freshness of the fragrant breeze,
the song of birds upon the wing,
the joy of summer and of spring.
5 We read you best in him who came
to bear for us the cross of shame,
sent by the Father from on high,
our life to live, our death to die.
6 We read your power to bless and save
e'en in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection light
we read the fullness of your might.
7 O love of God, our shield and stay
through all the perils of our way;
eternal love, in you we rest,
forever safe, forever blest.

Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone.

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!
Behold the King of glory waits;
The King of kings is drawing near;
The Savior of the world is here.
The Lord is just, a helper tried;
Mercy is ever at his side;
His kingly crown is holiness;
His scepter, pity in distress.
O blest the land, the city blest,
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed!
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King of triumph comes!
Fling wide the portals of your heart!
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven's employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.
Redeemer, come! I open wide
My heart to thee: here, Lord abide!
Let me thy inner presence feel:
Thy grace and love in me reveal.
So come, my Sovereign! enter in!
Let new and nobler life begin!
Thy Holy Spirit, guide us on,
Until the glorious crown be won!
Amen.
