Christ is the heavenly food that gives
Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is the heavenly food that gives
to every famished soul
new life and strength, new joy and hope,
and faith to make them whole.
2 We all are made for God alone,
without him we are dead;
no food suffices for the soul
but Christ, the living bread.
3 Christ is the unity that binds,
in one the near and far;
for we who share his life divine
his living body are.
4 On earth and in the realms beyond
one fellowship are we;
and at his altar we are knit
in mystic unity. Topics: Holy Communion; Proper 13 Year B Scripture: Ephesians 2:1 Used With Tune: JACKSON

Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 820 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes! the prisoners to release,
Of sin's dread sickness healed;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron letter yield.
3 He comes! the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name. Topics: Christ Prince of Peace; Christ Deliverer; Christ Incarnate; Christmas Hymns; Advent (See Second Coming) Of Christ; The Son Christmas; Deliverer, Christ our; Hosannas; Incarnation of Jesus; Prince of Peace; Prisoners, set free Used With Tune: BYZANTIUM

The highest and the holiest place
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-71 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The highest and the holiest place
Guards not the heart from sin;
The Church that safest seems without
May harbor foes within.
2 Within that small and chosen band,
Beloved above the rest,
One fell from his apostleship,
A traitor soul unblest.
3 But ne'er the great designs of God
Man’s sins shall overthrow;
A better witness to the truth
Forth to the lands shall go.
4 Matthias was the chosen one--
God's purpose cannot fail--
The word of grace no less shall sound,
The truth no less prevail.
5 Righteous, O Lord, are all thy ways:
Long as the worlds endure,
From foes without and foes within
Preserve thy Church secure.

Eternal Wisdom, Thee We Praise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals First Line: Eternal wisdom! Thee we praise Lyrics: 1. Eternal wisdom! Thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings,
With Thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And Heaven’s high palace rings.
2. Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky!
How glorious to behold!
Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starred with sparkling gold.
3. There Thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circles run;
There the pale planet rules the night,
The day obeys the sun.
4. If down I turn my wondering eyes
On clouds and storms below,
Those under-regions of the skies
Thy numerous glories show.
5. The noisy winds stand ready there
Thy orders to obey;
With sounding wings they sweep the air,
To make Thy chariot way.
6. There, like a trumpet loud and strong,
Thy thunder shakes our coast,
While the red lightnings wave along,
The banners of Thy host.
7. On the thin air, without a prop,
Hang fruitful showers around;
At Thy command they sink, and drop
Their fatness on the ground.
8. Lo! here Thy wondrous skill arrays
The earth in cheerful green;
A thousand herbs Thy art displays,
A thousand flowers between.
9. There, the rough mountains of the deep
Obey Thy strong command,
Thy breath can raise the billows steep,
Or sink them to the sand.
10. Thy glories blaze all nature round,
And strike the wondering sight
Through skies, and seas, and solid ground,
With terror and delight.
11. Infinite strength and equal skill
Shine through Thy works abroad.
Our souls with vast amazement fill.
And speak the builder God.
12. But the mild glories of Thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesu’s face
We see, adore, and love. Used With Tune: JACKSON
