To God Who Gave the Scriptures
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Lyrics: 1 To God who gave the scriptures
we bring our thanks today
for light upon life's journey,
a lamp to lead the way;
a sword to face the tempter,
a seed of life divine,
a glimpse of heaven's glory
upon our souls to shine.
2 To God who gave the scriptures
we sing salvation songs,
for laws of truth and judgment
to right our human wrongs;
a word to stand forever,
which faith and light impart,
a fire of love unchanging
to burn within our hearts.
3 To God who gave the scriptures
we come with love and praise
for all the gospel stories
of Galilean days,
the words of grace and mercy,
the cross and all its pains
as now in risen splendor
the King of glory reigns.
4 To God who gave the scriptures
we turn in faith to find
a taste of honeyed sweetness
to nourish heart and mind;
the promise of salvation,
the covenant restored,
the apostolic witness
that Jesus is the Lord.
5 To God who gave the scriptures
we lift our souls in prayer,
for eyes the Spirit opens
to find the treasures there;
that as we read and ponder
one voice alone is heard,
the Christ of all the scriptures,
the true and living Word.

See Christ, Who on the River's Shore
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17, 4:1-11 Lyrics: 1 See Christ, who on the river's shore
with John the Baptist stood,
his secret in the name he bore:
the holy Lamb of God.
See all his body washed and wet,
baptized in Jordan's flow,
as here his shame and glory meet,
his pain and triumph show.
2 See Christ submits himself to John;
the Lord bows to his slave!
See where he stoops, the sinless one,
to share a sinner's grave!
See him arising from the stream
where all the past now dies;
for yet a colder tomb he came
and now calls us to rise.
3 See Christ, to whom the Father speaks
as his beloved Son;
Messiah's chosen task he takes,
the servant's work begun.
See him on whom the Spirit fell,
descending like a dove,
in whom we find a springing well
of peace and joy and love.
4 See Christ through forty hungry days
with sand and stones for bed;
in lonely trials and desert ways
with him may we be led.
See him, the anointed Lamb who died,
to whom all praise we bring;
see Christ baptized, Christ crucified,
and Christ our reigning King! Topics: Baptism of Our Lord; Biblical Names and Places John the Baptizer; Epiphany and Ministry of Christ ; Jesus Christ Person of; Jesus Christ Life of; Temptations Used With Tune: NOEL
