With golden splendour and with roseate hues of morn

Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #171 (1986) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 With golden splendour and with roseate hues of morn, O gracious Saviour, Light of light, this day adorn, Which brings to ransomed sinners hopes of that far home Where saints and angels sing the praise of martyrdom. 2 Peter Keybearer, Paul the Teacher of mankind, Lights of the world and judges sent to loose and bind, Alike triumphant or by cross and sword-stroke found, In life's high senate stand with victor's laurel crowned. 3 Good Shepherd, Peter, unto whom the charge was given To close or open ways of pilgrimage to heaven, In sin's hard bondage held may we have grace to know The full remission thou wast granted to bestow. 4 O noble Teacher, Paul, we trust to learn to thee Both earthly converse and the flight of ecstasy; Till from the fading truths that now we know in part We pass to fullness of delight for mind and heart. 5 *Twin olive brands, pouring oil of gladness forth, Your prayers shall aid us, that for all our little worth, Believing, hoping,loving, we for whom ye plead, This body dying, may attain to life indeed. 6 Now to the glorious Trinity be duly paid Worship and honour, praise and service unafraid, Who in unchanging Unity, one Lord sublime, Hath ever lived as now and to unending time. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ANNUE CHRISTE

Thou art the Christ, O Lord

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #172 (1986) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 'Thou art the Christ, O Lord, The Son of God, most high!' For ever be adored That name in earth and sky, In which, though mortal strength may fail, The saints of God at last prevail. 2 O surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ; For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored, The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down Until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 O bright triumphant faith, O courage void of fears, O love most strong in death, O penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, And make us go where thou shalt call. Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH

Mary, weep not, weep no longer

Author: Laurence Housman, 1865-1959 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #174 (1986) Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Mary, weep not, weep no longer, Now thy heart hath gained its goal; Here, in truth, the Gardener standeth, But the Gardener of thy soul, Who within thy spirit's garden By his love hath made thee whole. 2 Now from grief and lamentation Lift thy drooping heart with cheer; While for love of him thou mournest, Lo, thy Lord regained is here! Fainting for him, thou hast found him; All unknown, behold him near! 3 *Whence thy sorrow, whence thy weeping, Since with thee true bliss abides? In thy heart, though undiscovered, Balm of consolation hides: Holding all, thou canst no longer Lack the cure that Health provides. 4 Nay, no wonder if she knows not Till the Sower's seed be sown, Till from him, the Word eternal, Light within her heart is thrown. Now he calls her, and 'Rabboni,' She in turn her Lord doth own. 5 Faith that washed the feet of Jesus, Fed with dew the Fount of Grace Win for us a like compassion, That, with all the ransomed race, At the glory of his rising We may see him face to face. 6 Glory be to God and honour, Who, preferring sacrifice, Far above the rich man's bounty, Sweetness found in Mary's sighs, Who for all, his love foretasting, Spreads the banquet of the skies. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: URBS BEATA

Christ, upon the mountain peak

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #177 (1986) Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Christ, upon the mountain peak Stands alone in glory blazing. Let us, if we dare to speak, With the saints and angels praise him-- Alleluya! Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya! 2 Trembling at his feet we saw Moses and Elijah speaking. All the prophets and the Law Shout through them their joyful greeting.-- Alleluya! Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya! 3 Swift the cloud of glory came, God proclaiming in its thunder Jesus as his Son by name! Nations, cry aloud in wonder!-- Alleluya! Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya! 4 This is God's beloved Son! Law and prophets sing before him; First and last, and only One, Let Creation now adore him: Alleluya! Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya!

Thy glory fills the night; Thy face and garments, like the sun, Shine with unborrowed light. 2 'Tis good, Lord, to be here, Thy beauty to behold, Where Moses and Elijah stand, Thy messengers of old. 3 Fulfiller of the past, Promise of things to be, We hail thy Body glorified, And our redemption see. 4 Before we taste of death, We see thy kingdom come; We fain would hold the vision bright, And make this hill our home. 5 'Tis good, Lord, to be here! Yet we may not remain; But since you bidst us leave the mount Come with us to the plain. Languages: English Tune Title: CARLISLE
