How Lovely, Lord, How Lovely
Author: Arlo D. Duba, 1929- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 17 Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so your temple calls us
within its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
The ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow.
Scripture: Psalm 42:1-4 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

Song of Zechariah
Author: Michael Perry Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 13 First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel Lyrics: RESPONSE
Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free.
R
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who has come to set the chosen people free.
God has raised up for us
a mighty Savior from the house of David.
Through the holy prophets, God promised of old
to save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all who hate us;
to show mercy to our forebears,
and to remember the holy covenant.
This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham,
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship without fear,
holy and righteous in God's sight,
all the days of our life. R
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give God's people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace. R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Used With Tune: [MERLE'S TUNE] Text Sources: Luke 1:68-79 (ICET, rev. ELLC, alt.)

When Jesus Came to Jordan (Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo)
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000; Alberto Merubia, 1919-2013 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
To be baptized by John,
He did not come for pardon,
But as the sinless One.
He came to share repentance
With all who mourn their sins,
To speak the vital sentence
With which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
Our utmost woe and loss,
For us and our salvation
To die upon the cross.
So when the Dove descended
On him, the Son of Man,
The hidden years had ended,
The age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us
To keep the vows we make;
This very day invade us,
And ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
The gift we covet most:
To share the resurrection
That leads to Pentecost.

1 Cuando al Jordán fue Cristo
y Juan le bautizó,
no fue perdón pidiendo,
pues él jamás pecó.
Con los arrepentidos
se identificó;
les trajo buenas nuevas,
y el reino se inició.
2 Él vino a ser tentado,
que es nestra condición;
sobre una cruz clavado
nos trajo salvación.
Y cuando la Paloma
del cielo descendió,
ocultos años cesan,
la gracia comenzó.
3 Ayúdanos los votos
que hacemos a cumplir.
Los yogos que tenemos,
oh ven tú a destruir.
¡Desciende y danos vida,
que nuestro anhelo es,
tras la Resurrección
disfrutar Pentecostés!

The World Is Full of Stories
Author: Alan Gaunt, 1935- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The world is full of stories,
of stories that have passed
to us along the ages;
great stories that still last,
to tell of human feelings
drawn deep from heart and mind,
more true than fact: their meaning
the surest we can find.
2 The world is full of stories,
new stories people tell,
and young and old come under
the storyteller's spell
which stirs imagination
and opens wide our eyes
to duty and conviction,
to wonder and surprise.
3 The world is full of stories
that capture and enthral;
but joyful faith discovers
that one transcends them all:
God's love as told in Jesus,
who shared our life on earth,
and human recreation
beginning at his birth.
4 It tells us of the anguish
God's love was bound to bear,
to conquer death and evil
and fathom our despair.
As we repeat the story,
hope comes to life and thrives,
to make the love of Jesus
the story of our lives. Scripture: Acts 24:10-21 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

Her Baby, Newly Breathing
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Her baby, newly breathing,
with wailing needful cry,
by Mary kissed and cradled,
is lulled in lullaby.
Long months of hope and waiting,
the thrill and fear of birth,
are crowned with exultation,
and God is on the earth.
2 The eyes that gaze at Mary
have yet to name or trace
the world of shape and color,
or recognize a face;
yet Holiness Eternal
is perfectly expressed
in hands that clutch unthinking,
and lips that tug the breast.
3 The milk of life is flowing
as Mary guides and feeds
her wordless Word, embodied
in infant joys and needs.
Enormous, formless strivings,
and yearnings deep and wide,
be-cradled in communion,
are fed and satisfied.
4 How mother-like the Wisdom
that carried and gave birth
to all things, seen and unseen,
and nurtured infant earth:
unstinting, unprotected,
prepared for nail and thorn,
constricted into maleness,
and of a woman born. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Birth; Birth; Christian Year: Christmas; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Birth Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

We Wait the Peaceful Kingdom
Author: Kathleen R. Moore Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We wait the peaceful kingdom,
when wolf and lamb shall lie
in gentleness and friendship
without a fear or sigh,
when lion shall be grazing,
when snake shall never strike;
a little child shall lead us
both strong and weak alike.
2 Where is the peaceful kingdom?
When will this new day start?
We long for peace and comfort
to reign within each heart.
Yet not in our lives only,
nor simply in our home:
we pray that all creation
will one day find shalom.
3 When wars of desolation
and hate come to an end,
when nation meets with nation
and calls the other "friend,"
still peace in all its fullness
will only have begun:
shalom for all creation
begins with justice done.
4 That little child shall lead us
to walk the chosen way,
to share the peaceful kingdom,
to greet God's newborn day.
The child born in a stable
is sent to break our chains,
to bring through word and table
the day when justice reigns. Topics: Animals; The Life of the Nations; A New Heaven and a New Earth; Personal Peace; World Peace; Reconciliation Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-4 Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE
