Isaiah 9:2-8
Author: John Morison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 221 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Year A; Epiphany 3 Year A; Epiphany 2 Year B First Line: The race that long in darkness pined Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined
have seen a glorious light;
the people dwell in day, who dwelt
in death’s surrounding night.
2 To hail you, Sun of righteousness,
the gathering nations come,
rejoicing as when reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
3 To us a child of hope is born,
to us a Son is given;
him shall the people all obey,
him all the hosts of heaven.
4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
for evermore adored,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the great and mighty Lord.

his reign no end shall know;
justice shall guard his throne above,
and peace abound below. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, alt.
Isaiah 9:2-8
O Perfect Life of Love
Author: Henry Williams Baker Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: Epiphany & Ministry of Christ; Epiphany & Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love!
All, all is finished now
all that he left his throne above
to do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
of all the Father willed;
his toils, his sorrows, one by one,
are prophecies fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
but he has felt its smart.
All forms of human grief and care
have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on his thorn-crowned head
and on his sinless soul
our sins in all their guilt were laid,
that he might make us whole.
5 In perfect love he dies;
for me, his awful death!
O all-atoning Sacrifice,
I cling to you in faith.
6 In every time of need,
before your judgment throne
your work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead
your merit, not my own.
7 Yet work your way in me,
my self-will, Lord, remove;
then shall my love and service be
my answer to your love.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: Epiphany & Ministry of Christ; Epiphany & Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, your only crown.
O sacred head, what glory
and blessing you have known!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I claim you as my own.
2 My Lord, what you did suffer
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain.
So here I kneel, my Savior,
for I deserve your place;
look on me with your favor
and save me by your grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this, your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours forever,
a loyal servant true,
and let me never, never
outlive my love for you.

Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: Epiphany & Ministry of Christ; Epiphany & Ministry of Christ Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended,
that mortal judgment has on you descended?
By foes derided, by your own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you?
It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you.
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you;
I crucified you.
3 For me, dear Jesus, was your incarnation,
your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation;
your death of anguish and your bitter passion,
for my salvation.
4 Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you,
I do adore you and will ever pray you,
think on your pity and your love unswerving,
not my deserving.

Source of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me:
Ah, how long I've panted,
And my heart has fainted,
Thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb;
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
Nought I ask beside thee.
2 In thine arm I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Ev'ry heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their bitter storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all fears and sadness,
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
Still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure!

il est notre berger.

Que notre vie entière
tous nous vivions joyeux
sous le regard du Père;
qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce
et nous guide toujours,
nous garde du malheur
par son unique amour.
3 De ce Dieu trois fois saint
qui règne dans la gloire,
chrétiens, empressons-nous
de chanter la victoire;

et nous fait retrouver
le chemin de l'amour
et de la liberté. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 687 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 3 Year C; Epiphany 4 Year C Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing:
for still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
power and malice great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth he has no equal.
2 Did we in our strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing:
dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
the truth to triumph through us:
the prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure,
one little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through Christ, who with us sideth:
let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
God's kingdom is forever. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
