Behold, the great creator makes

Author: Thomas Pestel (1585-1659) Hymnal: CH4 #308 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the great Creator makes himself a house of clay, in human flesh, our form he takes which he will bear alway. 2 Hark, how the wise eternal Word as a weak infant cries! In form of servant is the Lord, and God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder all the world amazed, it shook the starry frame; the hosts of heaven stood to gaze, and bless the Saviour's name. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; a choir of angels sings, and eastern sages with delight adore this King of kings. 5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone, to sing with choirs above and celebrate this Holy One, the God of peace and love.

Bright the cloud and bright the glory

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: CH4 #353 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory, brighter far than mere sun's rays, opening up a glimpse of heaven to disciples' awestruck gaze: power past their comprehension, splendour too profound for praise. All was changed, all was changed; and they would never be the same. 2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory wrought by human enterprise, opening wide with awful terror stark new worlds before our eyes: power grasped but far from mastered, knowledge keen but not yet wise. All has changed, all has changed; and we shall never be the same. 3 From the cloud and from the glory human need brought Jesus down: down to death, then from death rising to receive a victor's crown. Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion more than might, wealth, or renown. Help us change, help us change, that we may never be the same.

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know his voice who ruled them while he lived below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then you shall better know his love, his heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay from his own fullness all he takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love’s pure joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Hymnal: CH4 #466 (2005) Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea, a great High Priest, whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart: I know that while in heaven he stands no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look, and see him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with himself, I cannot die; my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Saviour and my God.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Hymnal: CH4 #688 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill how sweet the lily grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet the paths of peace have trod, whose secret heart with influence sweet is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill the lily must decay, the rose that blooms beneath the hill must shortly fade away; 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour of life's maturer age will shake the soul with sorrow's power and stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou whose infant feet were found within thy Father's shrine, whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, were all alike divine. 6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath we seek thy grace alone, through every stage of life, and death, to keep us still thine own.
