Strong Son of God, Immortal Love

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: WSH1972 #578 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove, 2 Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, thou. Our wills are ours, we know not how; Our wills are ours to make them thine. 3 Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be; They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than they. 4 Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before. Amen. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Other Observances Christian Education Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM OLD

Hold thou full sway; Have in our inmost souls thy perfect way; Guard thou each sacred hour from selfish ease; Guide thou our ordered lives as thou dost please. 4 Take thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will; Through our surrendered souls thy plans fulfill. We yield ourselves to Thee— time, talents, all; We hear, and henceforth heed, thy sovereign call. Amen.

Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, May live eternally. Amen.

Hymnal: WSH1972 #585 (1972) Meter: Irregular First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Refrain First Line: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds, in fields as they lay, In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. [Refrain:] Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel! 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those Wise Men three, Fell reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] Amen.

Established is his law, And changeless it shall stand, Deep writ upon the human heart, On sea, or land. 3 He has eternal life Implanted in the soul; His love shall be our strength and stay, While ages roll.
