Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee
From Calvary a cry was heard
Author: Cunningham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 15:12 Lyrics: 1 From Calvary a cry was heard,
A bitter and heart-rending cry;
My Saviour! every mournful word
Bespeaks thy soul's deep agony.
2 A horror of great darkness fell
On thee, thou spotless, holy One!
And all the swarming hosts of hell
Conspired to tempt God's only Son.
3 The scourge, the thorns, the deep disgrace,--
These thou couldst bear, nor once repine,
But when Jehovah veiled his face,
Unutterable pangs were thine.
4 Let the dumb world its silence break;
Let pealing anthems rend the sky:
Awake, my sluggish soul, awake!
He died that we might never die. Topics: Christs Sufferings and Death; The Hidings of the Father's Face

A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing
Author: Venerable Bede; B. Webb; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing;
New songs thro'out the world shall ring:
Christ by a road before untrod,
ascendeth to the throne of God.
The holy apostolic band
upon the Mount of Olives stand,
and with the virgin mother see
their Lord's resplendent majesty.
2 To them the angels, drawing nigh;
"Why stand and gaze upon the sky?
This is the Saviour," thus they say;
"this is his noble triumph day.
Again shall ye behold him so
as ye today have seen him go:
in glorious pomp ascending high
up to the portals of the sky."
3 O grant us thitherward to tend,
and with unwearied hearts ascend
toward thy kingdom's throne, where thou,
as is our faith, art seated now.
Be thou our joy and strong defense,
who art our future recompense:
so shall the light that springs from thee
be ours through all eternity.

Touch the Earth Lightly
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 5.5.10 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly,
use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.
2 We who endanger,
who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster,
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God’s garden,
hope in God’s children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
4 God of all living,
God of all loving,
God of the seedling, the snow, and the sun,
teach us, deflect us,
Christ reconnect us,
using us gently and making us one.
