O God, My God, My All Thou Art!

Author: Unknown; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals First Line: O God, my God, my all Thou art Lyrics: 1. O God, my God, my all Thou art! Ere shines the dawn of rising day, Thy sovereign light within my heart, Thy all enlivening power display. 2. For Thee my thirsty soul doth pant, While in this desert land I live; And hungry as I am, and faint, Thy love alone can comfort give. 3. In a dry land, behold I place My whole desire on Thee, O Lord; And more I joy to gain Thy grace, Than all earth’s treasures can afford. 4. More dear than life itself, Thy love My heart and tongue shall still employ And to declare Thy praise will prove My peace, my glory, and my joy. 5. In blessing Thee with grateful songs My happy life shall glide away; The praise that to Thy name belongs Hourly with lifted hands I’ll pay. 6. Abundant sweetness, while I sing Thy love, my ravished heart o’erflows; Secure in Thee, my God and King, Of glory that no period knows. Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1738

O Thou through suffering perfect made

Author: Bp. W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: O Thou thro' suffering perfect made Lyrics: 1 O Thou thro' suffering perfect made, On Whom the bitter cross was laid; In hours of sickness, grief, and pain, No sufferer turns to Thee in vain. 2 The halt, the maimed, the sick, the blind, Sought not in vain Thy tendance kind; Now in Thy poor Thyself we see, And minister through them to Thee. 3 O loving Saviour, Thou canst cure The pains and woes Thou didst endure; For all who need, Physician great, Thy healing balm we supplicate. 4 But, oh, far more, let each keen pain And hour of woe be heavenly gain, Each stroke of Thy chastising rod Bring back the wanderer nearer God. 5 Oh, heal the bruisèd heart within! Oh, save our souls all sick with sin! Give life and health in bounteous store, That we may praise Thee evermore! Amen.

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: The church of Christ in ev'ry age Lyrics: 1. The church of Christ, in ev'ry 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 He 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. Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Used With Tune: GERMANY

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; St. Ambrose, 340 - 97 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright, O thou who bringest light from Light, O Light of light, light's living spring, O Day, all days illumining! 2 O thou true Sun, on us thy glance Let fall in royal radiance; The Spirit’s sanctifying beam Upon our earthly senses stream. 3 The Father, too, our prayers implore, Father of glory evermore, The Father of all grace and might, To banish sin from our delight. A-men. 4 To guide whate’er we nobly do, With love all envy to subdue, To make ill-fortune turn to fair, And give us grace our wrongs to bear. 5 Rejoicing may this day go hence; Like virgin dawn our innocence, Like fiery noon our faith appear, Nor known the gloom of twilight drear. 6 Morn in her rosy car is borne; Let him come forth, our perfect morn, The Word in God the Father one, The Father perfect in the Son. 7 All laud to God the Father be; All praise, eternal Son, to thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - Morning Used With Tune: WALTON (GERMANY)
