Lord, who may dwell within your house
Author: Paul Wigmore, 1925- Meter: 8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, who may dwell within your house
and on your holy hill?
All those who walk a blameless way,
who love the right, who win the day
with truthful words and, come what may,
will speak no word of ill;

who hate the way of sin,
who honour all that fear the Lord,
whose promise is a binding cord,
who help and seek no rich reward–

of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters,
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ hath burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun hath risen;
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Hallelujah! now we cry
to our King immortal,
who triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb's dark portal;
hallelujah! with the Son,
God the Father praising;
hallelujah! yet again
to the Spirit raising. Topics: Church Year Easter; Exodus; Jesus Christ Kingship / Reign; Processionals Scripture: Exodus 14:15-22 Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM Text Sources: Greek

the passing ages pray,
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.

and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo! already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls;
proclaim the day is near:
4 the day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be clothed with might,
and every hurt be healed,
5 when knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad:
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Topics: God King; Healing / Health; Justice; Light; New Day; Our Hope in God; Righteousness Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Used With Tune: IRISH

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-1874 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 627 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou for ever near me,
my Saviour and my friend:
I shall not fear the struggle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 Oh let me feel thee near me:
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within,
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
oh speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
oh speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee,
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be,
and, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
oh give me grace to follow
my Saviour and my friend.

As man and woman we are made
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made

the likeness of the living God,
unique, yet called to live as one.
Praise, praise the love that gives us life,
through joy or sadness, calm or strife.
2 Now Jesus lived and gave his love
to make our life and loving new;
so celebrate with him today
and drink the joy he offers you,
that makes the simple moment shine
and changes water into wine.
3 And Jesus died to live again,
so praise the love that, come what may,
can bring the dawn and clear the skies,
and waits to wipe all tears away,
and let us hope for what shall be,
believing where we cannot see.
4 Then spread the table, clear the hall
and celebrate till day is done;
let peace go deep between us all
and joy be shared by everyone;
laugh and make merry with your friends,
and praise the love that never ends! Topics: Joy; Laughter / Mirth; Love; Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage; Wine Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27 Used With Tune: SUSSEX CAROL
