who sat and spoke unto the three,
"Your Lord doth go to Galilee."

amidst them came their Lord most dear,

with faith in God our voices raise,
in laud and jubilee and praise.

he doubted the disciples' word.

my hands, my feet, I show to thee;
not faithless, but believing be."
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
3 No longer Thomas then denied;
he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
4 How blest are they who have not seen,
and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

announces that the Lamb is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of Kings.

make straight the way for God within;
and let each heart prepare a home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 In you, we find abundant life,
our refuge in the midst of strife;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
and help us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine,
and fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won;
and praise to God whom we adore,
with Holy Spirit evermore. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW Text Sources: Latin

"I am with you evermore"?

give (for thou canst give) contrition;
thou canst pardon all my ill
if thou wilt; O say, "I will!"

wholly on thee ventured.

What Star Is This?
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Jacob First Line: What star is this, with beams so bright Lyrics: 1 What star is this, with beams so bright,
more lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn King,
glad tidings of our God to bring.
2 ’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed:
“From Jacob shall a star proceed”;
And lo! the eastern sages stand,
to read in heav'n the Lord’s command.
3 While outward signs the star displays,
an inward light the Lord conveys,
and urges them, with force benign,
to seek the Giver of the sign.
4 O while the star of heav'nly grace
invites us, Lord, to seek thy face,
may we no more that grace repel,
or quench that light which shines so well.
5 To God the Father, God the Son,
and Holy Spirit, Thee in one,
may ev'ry tongue and nation raise
an endless song of thankful praise.
