Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Year C Second Sunday Before Advent Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgement
purge this realm of bitter things:
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release:
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O Lord, thine own endeavour;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
feed thy people's hungry spirits
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: The Second Sunday of Lent Year C Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love!'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: Genesis 32:24-30 Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP
Come, O thou Traveller unknown

2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor’s brow.
2 The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his name to know.
3 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace is given,
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
4 They suffer here with Christ below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
5 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Used With Tune: ST MAGNUS
