The race that long in darkness pined
Author: John Morrison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #656a (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined
has seen a glorious light;
the people dwell in day, who dwelt
in death’s surrounding night.
2 To hail thy rise, thou better sun,
the gath'ring nations come,
joyous as when the reapers bear
the harvest treasures home.
3 To us a child of hope is born,
to us a Son is giv'n;
him shall the tribes of earth obey,
him all the hosts of heav'n.
4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
for evermore adored,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the great and mighty Lord.
5 His pow'r increasing still shall spread,
his reign no end shall know;
justice shall guard his throne above,
and peace abound below.

The race that long in darkness pined
I love thee, Lord, but not because
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878; Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #682 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love thee, Lord, but not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet for fear that loving not
I might for ever die;
2 but for that thou didst all the world
upon the cross embrace;
for us didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace,
3 and griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
e'en death itself; and all for one
who was thine enemy.
4 Then why, most loving Jesus Christ,
should I not love thee well,
not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor any fear of hell;
5 not with the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward;
but as thyself hast loved me,
O ever loving Lord!
6 E'en so I love thee, and will love,
and in thy praise will sing,
solely because thou art my God
and my eternal King.

I love thee, Lord, but not because
Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-91 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #757 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
He that unto God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!
5 Then shall I end my sad complaints
And weary, sinful days
And join with the triumphant saints
Who sing my Savior's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.

Jesu, Thy Mercies Are Untold
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3454 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Jesu, Thy mercies are untold
Through each returning day;
Thy love exceeds a thousandfold
Whatever we can say.
2. That love which in Thy passion drained
For us Thy precious blood;
That love whereby the saints have gained
The vision of their God.
3. ’Tis Thou hast loved us from the womb,
Pure Source of all our bliss,
Our only hope of life to come,
Our happiness in this.
4. Lord, grant us, while on earth we stay,
Thy love to feel and know;
And, when from hence we pass away,
To us Thy glory show. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT

I hope for Heav’n thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not
May eternally die.

Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace.
3. And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E’en death itself; and all for man
Who was Thine enemy.
4. Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning Heaven,
Nor of escaping hell.
5. Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Nor seeking a reward,
But as Thyself hast lovèd me,
O everlasting Lord!
6. E’en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing,
Solely because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT

Praise Ye the Lord! On Every Height
Author: Felicia D. Hemans Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5708 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Praise ye the Lord! on every height
Songs to His glory raise;
Ye angel hosts, ye stars of night,
Join in immortal praise.
2. O heaven of heavens, let praise far swelling
From all thine orbs be sent:
Join in the strains, ye waters, dwelling
Above the firmament.
3. For His the Word which gave you birth,
And majesty and might;
Praise to the Highest from the earth,
And let the deeps unite.
4. O fire and vapor, hail and snow,
Ye servants of His will;
O stormy winds, that only blow
His mandates to fulfill.
5. Mountains and rocks, to Heaven that rise;
Fair cedars of the wood;
Creatures of life that wing the skies,
Or track the plains for food;
6. Judges of nations; kings whose hand
Waves the proud scepter high;
O youths and virgins of the land,
O age and infancy.
7. Praise ye His name, to whom alone
All homage should be given,
Whose glory from the eternal throne
Spreads wide o’er earth and Heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT

Eternal Father, Who Can Tell?
Author: Robert Dawson, 1836-1906 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15336 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Eternal Father! who can tell Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! who can tell
The years of Thy right hand?
Like sunbeams bright, but numberless,
Or as the ocean’s sand.
2 Thine ageless age no limit knows,
No dawn began Thy day,
Nor evening shade shall ever fall
Upon Thy glorious way.
3 All time is but a fleeting wave
Upon Thy calm, deep sea,
A fading leaf that feebly falls
From life’s eternal tree.
4 Yet unto Thee, our fleeting years,
Our fading days, are known,
And every hour its message bears
Up to th’eternal throne.
5 Old year, farewell! Thou’rt gone to God,
Gone to record our life,
Its poor success, its wasted hours,
Its oft unworthy strife.
6 New year, all hail! Thou’rt come from God,
Blest be thy dawning bright!
Blest be thy swiftly fleeting hours!
And blest thy evening light!
7 Into the hand of Him who died,
Who evermore doth live,
This strange and solemn New Year’s path
In trustful prayer we give.
8 Enough for us to hear His voice,
To feel His guiding hand,
To know each step is bringing us
Nearer the Better Land. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
