Stand Up and Bless the Lord
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #41 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Year Written: 182 Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord,
you people of His choice,
stand up and bless the Lord your God
with heart and soul and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
above all blessing high,
who would not fear His holy name,
give thanks and glorify?
3 God is our strength and song,
and his salvation ours;
then be his love in Christ proclaimed
with all our ransomed powers.
4 Stand up and bless the Lord,
the Lord your God adore;
stand up and bless his glorious name,
both now and evermore.

Shepherd of Tender Youth
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle
Author: Caswall; Venantius Fortunatus Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #98 (1894) Meter: 8.7 Year Written: 575 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle,
Tell His triumph far and wide;
Tell aloud the wondrous story
Of His Body crucified;
How upon the cross a victim,
Vanquishing in death, He died.
2 Eating of the tree forbidden,
Man had sunk in Satan's snare,
When our pitying Creator
Did this second tree prepare,
Destined many ages later,
That first evil to repair.
3 So, when now at length the fullness
Of the time foretold drew nigh,
God the Son, the world's Creator,
Let His Father's throne on high,
From the Virgin's womb appearing
Clothed in our humanity.
4 Thus did Christ to perfect manhood
In our mortal flesh attain;
Then of His free choice He goeth
To a death of bitter pain;
He, the Lamb upon the altar
Of the cross, for us was slain.
5 Lo, with gall His thirst He quenches,
See the thorns upon His brow;
Nails His tender flesh are rending;
See, His side is piercèd now;
Whence, to cleanse the whole creation,
Streams of blood and water flow.
6 Christ, to Thee with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be;
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory.
Amen.

Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright
Author: St. Joseph the Hymnographer; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #289 (1916) Year Written: 850 Lyrics:
Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
Filled with celestial splendor and light,
These that, where night never followeth day,
Raise the "Thrice Holy" song ever and aye:
These are thy ministers, these dost thou own,
God of Sabaoth, the nearest thy throne;
These are thy messengers, these dost thou send,
Help of the helpless ones! man to defend.
These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers,
Thrones, principalities, virtues, and powers,
Where, with the living ones, mystical Four,
Cherubim, seraphim bow and adore.
Still let them succor us; still let them fight,
Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right;
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We with the angels may bow and adore.
Amen.

And now the world is wrapt in night.
Christ, light us with Thy heavenly ray,
Nor let our feet in darkness stray.

Hast kept all grief and harm away;
That angels tarried round about
Our coming in and going out.

Let not the charge on us be laid;
That through Thy free forgiveness blest,
In peaceful slumber we may rest.

All evil from our couch to chase;

In safety, gracious Father, keep.

Since Christ has gone to heav'n His home
Author: Wegelin Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #64 (1863) Year Written: 1636 Lyrics:
Since Christ has gone to heav'n His home,
I too that home one day must share;
And in this hope I overcome
All doubt, all anguish, and despair;
For where the Head is, well we know,
The members he hath left below
In time He surely gathers there.
Since Christ hath reached His glorious throne,
And mighty gifts henceforth are His,
My heart can rest in heaven alone,
On earth my Lord I daily miss;
I long to be with Him on high,
And heart and thoughts would hourly fly
Where now my only treasure is.
From Thy ascension let such grace,
Dear Lord, be ever found in me,
That steadfast faith may guide my ways
With step unfault'ring up to Thee,
And at Thy voice I may depart
With joy to dwell where Thou, Lord, art:
O Saviour, grant this prayer to me!

Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber
Author: Rist Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #167 (1863) Year Written: 1642 Lyrics:
Sink not yet, my soul, to slumber,
Wake, my heart, go forth and tell
All the mercies without number
That this bygone day befell;
Tell how God hath kept afar
All things that against me war,
Hath upheld me and defended,
And His grace my soul befriended.
Father, merciful and holy,
Thee to-night I praise and bless,
Who to labour true and lowly
Grantest ever meet success;
Many a sin and many a woe,
Many a fierce and subtle foe,
Hast Thou check'd that once alarm'd me,
So that nought to-day has harm'd me,
Now the light, that nature gladdens,
And the pomp of day is gone,
And my heart is tired and saddens;
As the gloomy night comes on;
Ah then, with Thy changeless light
Warm and cheer my heart to-night,
As the shadows round me gather
Keep me close to Thee, my Father.
Have I e'er from Thee departed,
Now I seek Thy face again,
And Thy Son, the loving-hearted,
Made our peace through bitter pain.
Yes, far greater than our sin,
Though it still be strong within,
Is the Love that fails us never,
Mercy that endures for ever.
Brightness of the eternal city!
Light of every faithful soul!
Safe beneath Thy sheltering pity,
Let the tempests past me roll:
Now it darkens far and near,
Still, my God, still be Thou here;
Thou canst comfort, and Thou only,
When the night is long and lonely.
E'en the twilight now hath vanish'd,
Send Thy blessing on my sleep,
Every sin and terror banish'd,
Let my rest be calm and deep.
Soul and body, mind and health,
Wife and children, house and wealth,
Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger,
Keep Thou safe from harm and danger.
O Thou mighty God, now hearken
To the prayer Thy child hath made;
Jesus, while the night-hours darken
Be Thou still my hope, my aid;
Holy Ghost, on Thee I call,
Friend and Comforter of all,
Hear my earnest prayer, oh hear me!
Lord, Thou hearest, Thou art near me.

dwell within my heart forever."

though the souls it feeds are countless;

Christ's own blood to us is given.
Oh, most glorious consolation,
pledge and seal of my salvation.

truest friend and dearest treasure,
peace beyond all understanding,
joy into all life expanding:

love incarnate, I adore you;
worthily let me receive you,
and, so favored, never leave you. Topics: Bread of Life; Cheerfulness; Christ Friend; Union with Christ Scripture: Revelation 19:7-9 Languages: English Tune Title: SCHMÜCKE DICH

Sweetest Fount of holy gladness
Author: Gerhardt Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #73 (1863) Year Written: 1653 Lyrics:
Sweetest Fount of holy gladness,
Fairest light was ever shed,
Who alike in joy and sadness
Leavest none unvisited;
Spirit of the Highest God,
Lord, from whom is life bestow'd,
Who upholdest ev'rything,
Hear me, hear me, while I sing.
Thou art shed like gentlest showers
From the Father and the Son,
Bringing to us quicken'd powers,
Purest blessing from their throne;
Suffer then, O noble Guest,
That rich gift by Thee possest,
That Thou givest at Thy will,
All my being now to fill.
Thou art ever true and holy,
Sin and falsehood Thou dost hate;
But Thou comest where the lowly
And the pure Thy presence wait;
Wash me then, O well of grace,
Every stain and spot efface,
Let me flee what Thou dost flee,
Grant me what Thou lov'st to see.
Well content am I if only
Thou wilt deign to dwell with me;
With Thee I am never lonely,
Never comfortless with Thee;
Thine for ever make me now,
And to Thee, my Lord, I vow
Here and yonder to employ
Every power for Thee with joy,
When I cry for help, oh hear me
When I sink, oh haste to save;
When I die, be inly near me,
Be my hope e'en in the grave;
Bring me when I rise again
To the land that knows no pain,
Where Thy followers from Thy stream
Drink for ever joys supreme!

It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.

Of Jesus and His Blood,
For 'tis through Him that I have found
The true eternal Good.

O'er all my mind He reigns,
All care and sadness He dispels,
And soothes away all pains.
4 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How he who seeks in God his rest
Shall ever find Him near;
5 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
6 My heart for gladness springs,
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
7 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
Amen.

Since Jesus is my Friend
Shall I not sing praise to Thee
Author: Gerhardt Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #10 (1863) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Year Written: 1659 Lyrics:
Shall I not sing praise to Thee,
Shall I not give thanks, O Lord?
Since for us in all I see
How Thou keepest watch and ward;
How the truest, tend'rest love
Ever fills Thy heart, my God,
Helping, cheering, on their road
All who in Thy service move.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
As the eagle o'er her nest
Spreads her sheltering wings abroad,
So from all that would molest
Doth Thine arm defend me, Lord;
From my youth up e'en till now
Of the being Thou did'st give,
And the earthly life I live,
Faithful Guardian still wert Thou.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
When I sleep my Guardian wakes,
And revives my wearied mind;
Every morning on me breaks
With some mark of love most kind;
Had my God not stood my Friend,
Had His countenance not been
Here my guide, I had not seen
Many a trial reach its end.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
As a father ne'er withdraws
From a child his all of love,
Though it often break his laws,
Though it careless, wilful, prove:
Even so my loving Lord
Doth my faults with pity see;
With His rod He chastens me,
Not avenging with His sword.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
When His strokes upon me light,
Bitterly I feel their smart,
Yet are they, if seen aright,
Tokens that my Father's heart
Yearns to bring me back again
Through these crosses to His fold,
From the world that fain would hold
Soul and body in its chain.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
All my life I still have found,
And I will forget it never,
Every sorrow hath its bound,
And no cross endures for ever.
After all the winter's snows
Comes sweet summer back again;
Patient souls ne'er wait in vain,
Joy is given for all their woes.
All things else have but their day,
God's love only lasts for aye.
Since then neither change nor end
In Thy love can e'er have place,
Father! I beseech Thee send
Unto me Thy loving grace.
Help Thy feeble child, and give
Strength to serve Thee day and night,
Loving Thee with all my might,
While on earth I yet must live;
So shall I, when Time is o'er,
Praise and love Thee evermore.

the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation;
with healing balm my soul he fills,
and ev'ry faithless murmur stillls:
To God all praise and glory!
2 What God's almighty power hath made
his gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
his watchful eye ne'er sleepeth.
Within the kingdom of his might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but through all grief distressing,
an ever present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing;
as with a mother's tender hand
he leds his own, his chosen bnd:
To God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my gladsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
both soul and body take your part:
To God all praise and glory!
5 O ye who name Christ's holy name,
give God all praise and glory;
all ye who know his pow'r proclaim
around the wondrous story!
Cast each false idol from his throne,
the Lord is God, and he alone:
To God all praise and glory!

O God, in mercy hear us.
Our Savior saw our helplessness
and came with peace to cheer us.
For this we thank and praise the Lord,
who is by one and all adored:

give God the praise and glory.
Let all who know his power proclaim

The Rock of Ages stands;
Though Him thou canst not see, nor trace
The working of His hands.
2 He gives the conquest to the weak,
Supports the fainting heart;
And courage in the evil hour
His heavenly aids impart.
3 Mere human power shall fast decay,
And youthful vigor cease;
But they who wait upon the Lord
In strength shall still increase.
4 They with unwearied feet shall tread
The path of life Divine;
With growing ardor onward move,
With growing brightness shine.
5 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar,
Their wings are faith and love;
Till, past the cloudy regions here,
They rise to heaven above.
Amen.
Supreme in wisdom as in power

and gird the gospel armor on;
march to the gates of endless joy,
where your great Captain Savior's gone.
2 Hell and your sins resist your course;
but hell and sin are vanquished foes:
your Jesus nailed them to the cross,
and sang the triumph when he rose.
3 Then let my soul march boldly on,
press forward to the heav'nly gate;
there peace and joy eternal reign,
and glitt'ring robes for conqu'rors wait.
4 There shall I wear a starry crown,
and triumph in almighty grace;
while all the armies of the skies
join in my glorious Leader's praise.

No mortal cares shall seize my breast;

Like David's harp of solemn sound.
My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless his works, and bless his word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep thy counsels, how divine!
Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy.

Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #245 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Year Written: 1739 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
in this, our evil day;
to all thy tempted foll'wers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never ceasing prayer.
3 Thy Spirit's interceding grace
give us in faith to claim,
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of ev'ry heart:
"I will not let thee go!
5 "I will not let thee go unless
thou tell thy name to me,
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee."

behold thine open face
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: BEDENS BROOK
