Hidden Christ, Alive for Ever
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:20 Lyrics: 1 Hidden Christ, alive for ever,
Savior, Servant, Friend and Lord,
year by year, unseen, you offer
life undying, love outpoured.
Day by day, you walk among us,
known and honored, yet concealed,
freeing, chiding, leading, guiding,
till your glory is revealed.
2 Endless orbits by our planet
spinning round its speeding star
cannot trace creation's secret:
why we live and whose we are.
Jesus, you alone uncover
nature's rhythm, reason, rhyme,
so your birthday is our center:
hinge of history and time.
3 Still your life and way of living,
God-revealing, Spirit-blown,
teaching, healing, sins forgiving,
measure and inspire our own,
loving earth's despised, rejected,
till with them you hang in pain,
broken, buried, resurrected,
life laid down, our life to gain.
4 Who can tell, through earthly eons,
all your loving power has done,
changing hearts and shaping nations,
seeking all, rejecting none?
Speeches fail, but songs soar higher,
tracing how, in every place,
twice ten hundred years have numbered
countless works of boundless grace!
5 Christ our hope, alive among us,
take our love, our work, our prayer.
We will trust and tell your purpose,
braving evil and despair,
in your name befriending, mending,
making peace and setting free,
showing, giving and acclaiming
signs of joy and jubilee. Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON
Hidden Christ, Alive for Ever
In Water We Grow
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 First Line: In water we grow, secure in the womb Lyrics: 1 In water we grow, secure in the womb,
and speechlessly know love's safety and room.
Baptizing and blessing, we publish for good
the freeing, caressing safekeeping of God.
2 In water we wash: the dirt of each day,
its trouble and rush are carried away.
In Christ recreated by love's cleansing art,
self will and self hatred dissolve and depart.
3 In water we dive, and cannot draw breath,
then surface alive, rebounding from death.
Our old self goes under, in Christ dead and drowned.
We rise, washed in wonder, by love clad and crowned.
4 In water we dwell, for by its deep flow
through bloodstream and cell, we live, think, and grow.
Praise God, love outflowing, whose well of new birth
baptizes our knowing, and waters the earth. Used With Tune: STANLEY BEACH

Ascended Christ, who gained
Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:18 Lyrics: 1 Ascended Christ, who gained
the glory that we sing,
anointed and ordained,
our Prophet, Priest and King:
by many tongues
the Church displays
your power and praise
in all her songs.
2 No titles, thrones, or powers
can ever rival yours;
no passing mood of ours
can turn aside your laws:
you reign above
each other name
of worth or fame,
the Lord of love!
3 Now from your Father's side
you make your people new;
since for our sins you died
our lives belong to you:
from our distress
you set us free
for purity
and holiness.
4 You call us to belong
within one body here;
in weakness we are strong
and all your gifts we share:
in you alone
we are complete
and at your feet
with joy bow down.
5 All strength is in your hand,
all power to you is given;
all wisdom to command
in earth and hell and heaven:
beyond all words
creation sings
the King of kings
and Lord of lords. Topics: Ascension Day; Ascension Day; Atonement; Church Body of Christ; Church Universal; Church Worship; Church Year Ascension; Holiness; Jesus Names and images for; Jesus priesthood; Praise; Renewal Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH
