Where is this stupendous stranger?

Author: Christopher Smart, 1722-1771 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #75b (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Refrain First Line: Lyrics: 1 Where is this stupendous stranger? prophets, shepherds, kings, advise: lead me to my Master's manger, show me where my Saviour lies. 2 O most mighty, O most holy, far beyond the seraph’s thought! Art thou then so mean and lowly as unheeded prophets taught? 3 O the magnitude of meekness, worth from worth immortal sprung! O the strength of infant weakness, if eternal is so young! 4 God all-bounteous, all-creative, whom no ills from good dissuade, is incarnate, and a native of the very world he made.

When Jesus came to Jordan

Author: F. Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #93 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan to be baptized by John, he did not come for pardon, but as his Father's Son. He came to share repentance with all who mourn their sins, to speak the vital sentence with which good news begins. 2 He came to share temptation, our utmost woe and loss; for us and our salvation to die upon the cross. So when the Dove descended on him, the Son of Man, the hidden years had ended, the age of grace began. 3 Come, Holy Spirit, aid us to keep the vows we make, this very day invade us, and every bondage break. Come, give our lives direction, the gift we covet most: to share the resurrection that leads to Pentecost.

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #125 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let men deride, for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away: it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light: 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

We sing the glorious conquest

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #237 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler, came breathing threats and hate; the ravening wolf rushed forward full early to the prey; but lo, the Shepherd met him, and bound him fast to-day. *2 O glory most excelling that smote across his path, O light that pierced and blinded the zealot in his wrath, O voice that spake within him the calm reproving word, O love that sought and held him the bondman of his Lord! 3 O wisdom, ordering all things in order strong and sweet, what nobler spoil was ever cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder e'er wrought at thine employ than he, till now so furious your building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy church the lesson, still in her darkest hour of weakness and of danger to trust thy hidden power: thy grace by ways mysterious the wrath of man can bind, and in thy boldest foeman thy chosen saint can find.
