Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885); J. Μ. Neale; R. F. Littledale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year B Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture —
in the body and the blood —
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high. Scripture: Habakkuk 2:20 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Based on the translation of J. M. Neale and R. F. Littledale

Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 527 hymnals Topics: The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year A Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still small voice of calm. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:7-18 Used With Tune: REPTON

join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. [Refrain]

blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! [Refrain] Scripture: Genesis 8:22 Used With Tune: FAITHFULNESS

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me
Author: Edward Hopper Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,222 hymnals Topics: Epiphany, Fourth Sunday Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal;
Chart and compass came from Thee:
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will
When Thou say'st to them, "Be still."
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
3 When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee."
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:23-27 Used With Tune: PILOT

How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,196 hymnals Topics: Epiphany, Fourth Sunday Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adore,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I cannot desert to His foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!"

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,331 hymnals Topics: Epiphany, First Sunday Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition:
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Used With Tune: ST. HILARY
Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
O For a Heart to Praise My God
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,179 hymnals Topics: Epiphany, First Sunday Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels Thy blood,
So freely shed for me!
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne;
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within;
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of Thine!
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
Come quickly, from above;
Write Thy new Name upon my heart,
Thy new, best Name of Love.
Amen.

O For a Heart to Praise My God
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 741 hymnals Topics: Epiphany, Fifth Sunday Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come, to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home!
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 13:25-26 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Eternal Ruler, of the ceaseless round

of circling planets singing on their way;
guide of the nations from the night profound
into the glory of the perfect day;
rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
by virtue of thy well-belovèd Son;
descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
into our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
as one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things sweet and fair,
one with the joy that breaketh into song,
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the pow'r that makes thy children free
to follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heav'nly armour, Lord,
thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
our inspiration be thy constant word;
we ask no victories that are not thine:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
enough to know that we are serving thee. Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 Used With Tune: SONG 1
