O One with God the Father

Author: William W. How, 1823-97 Appears in 64 hymnals Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, 1876-1968 Meter: 7.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the cross of Jesus Our lives are judged today; The meaning of our eager strife Is tested by His Way. Across our restless living The light streams from His cross, And by its clear, revealing beams We measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, The fears that hold us back, Our will to dare great things for God, The courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, Our love, as low or pure - On all, the judgment of the cross Falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, O God, we face its test. We crave the pow'r to do Thy will With Him who did it best. On us let now the healing Of His great Spirit fall, And make us brave and full of joy To answer to His call.

O Sacred Head surrounded

Author: St. Bernard; H. W. Baker Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Sacred Head surrounded By crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding Head, so wounded, Reviled and put to scorn! Death's pallid hue comes o'er Thee, The glow of life decays, Yet angel-hosts adore Thee, And tremble as they gaze. 2 I see Thy strength and vigor, All fading in the strife, And death with cruel rigor, Bereaving Thee of life; O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesu, all grace supplying, Oh, turn Thy face on me. 3 In this, Thy bitter Passion, Good Shepherd, think of me With Thy most sweet compassion, Unworthy though I be: Beneath Thy cross abiding Forever would I rest, In Thy dear love confiding, And with Thy presence blest. 4 Be near when I am dying; Oh, show Thy cross to me: And to my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move; For he, who dies believing, Dies safely through Thy love. Amen. Topics: Holy Week Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

We Hail Thee Now, O Jesus

Author: Frederick George Scott (1861-1944) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We hail thee now, O Jesus: thy presence here we own, though sight and touch have failed us, and faith perceives alone. Thy love has veiled thy glory and hid thy power divine, in mercy to our weakness, beneath an earthly sign. 2 We hail thee now, O Jesus: in silence hast thou come, for all the hosts of heaven with wonderment are dumb -- so great the condescension, so marvellous the love, which for our sakes, O Saviour, have drawn thee from above. 3 We hail thee now, O Jesus: for law and type have ceased, and thou in each communion art sacrifice and priest. We make this great memorial in union, Lord, with thee, and plead thy death and passion to cleanse and set us free. 4 We hail thee now, O Jesus: for death is ever near, and in thy presence only its terrors disappear. Dwell with us, sweetest Saviour, and guide us through the night, till shadows end in glory. and faith be lost in sight.

Desire of Every Nation

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Desire of every nation, Light of the Gentiles, Thou! In fervent adoration Before Thy throne we bow; Our hearts and tongues adore Thee, Blest Dayspring from the skies. Like incense sweet before Thee, Permit our songs to rise. 2. Thou Herald of the morning, They who in darkness dwell Behold Thy brightness dawning O’er realms of Israel. With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3. Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled. And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4. Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Savior, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5. Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.
