Bread of heaven, on thee we feed
Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Hymnal: EH1982 #323 (1985) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Bread of heaven, on thee we feed,
for thy Flesh is meat indeed;
ever may our souls be fed
with this true and living Bread;
day by day with strength supplied,
through the life of him who died.
2 Vine of heaven, thy Blood supplies
this blest cup of sacrifice;
Lord, thy wounds our healing give,
to thy cross we look and live:
Jesus, may we ever be
grafted, rooted, built in thee.

Blessed Jesus, at thy word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer, 1619-1684; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: EH1982 #440 (1985) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at thy word
we are gathered all to hear thee;
let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear thee;
by thy teachings pure and holy,
drawn from earth to love thee solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till thy Spirit breaks our night
with the beams of truth unclouded;
thou alone to God canst win us;
thou must work all good within us.
3 Gracious Lord, thyself impart!
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open thou our ears and heart,
help us by thy Spirit’s pleading.
Hear the cry thy Church upraises;
hear, and bless our prayers and praises.

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: EH1982 #498 (1985) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within a wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
mine eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let my pride go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Breathe on me, Breath of God
Author: Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889 Hymnal: EH1982 #508 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love what thou dost love,
and do what thou wouldst do.
2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with thee I will one will,
to do or to endure.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
till I am wholly thine,
till all this earthly part of me
glows with thy fire divine.
4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die;
but live with thee the perfect life
of thine eternity. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: NOVA VITA

Blessed city, heavenly Salem
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: EH1982 #519 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move;
2 from celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining;
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who, for Christ's dear Name, in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
5 Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three, and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run.

Before thy throne, O God, we kneel
Author: William Boyd Carpenter, 1841-1918 Hymnal: EH1982 #575 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne, O God, we kneel:
give us a conscience quick to feel,
a ready mind to understand
the meaning of thy chastening hand;
whate'er the pain and shame may be,
bring us, O Father, nearer thee.
2 Search out our hearts and make us true;
help us to give to all their due.
From love of pleasure, lust of gold,
from sins which make the heart grow cold,
wean us and train us with thy rod;
teach us to know our faults, O God.
3 For sins of heedless word and deed,
for pride ambitious to succeed,
for crafty trade and subtle snare
to catch the simple unaware,
for lives bereft of purpose high,
forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry.
4 Let the fierce fires which burn and try,
our inmost spirits purify:
consume the ill; purge out the shame;
O God, be with us in the flame;
a newborn people may we rise,
more pure, more true, more nobly wise. Topics: Christian Responsibility Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER IN HIMMELREICH

Book of books, our people's strength
Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: EH1982 #631 (1985) Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Book of books, our people's strength,
statesman's, teacher's, hero's treasure,
bringing freedom, spreading truth,
shedding light that none can measure:
wisdom comes to those who know thee,
all the best we have we owe thee.
2 Thank we those who toiled in thought,
many diverse scrolls completing,
poets, prophets, scholars, saints,
each a word from God repeating;
till they came, who told the story
of the Word, and showed his glory.
3 Praise we God, who hath inspired
those whose wisdom still directs us;
praise him for the Word made flesh,
for the Sprit which protects us.
Light of knowledge, ever burning,
shed on us thy deathless learning.

Blest are the pure in heart
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866; William John Hall, 1793-1861 Hymnal: EH1982 #656 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
for they shall see our God;
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heavens
our life and peace to bring,
to dwell in lowliness with us,
our pattern and our King;
3 he to the lowly soul
will still himself impart
and for his dwelling and his throne
will choose the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we thy presence seek;
may ours this blessing be;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple fit for thee. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA
