Lord Of Our Life
Author: Philip Pusey; M. A. von Löwenstern Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: The Church First Line: Lord of our life, and God of our salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and hope of ev'ry nation,
Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round Thine Ark the hungry billows curling,
See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenom'd they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth;
Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Lord, o'er Thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth:
Grant us Thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace in Thy Church where brothers are engaging,
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging,
Send us, O Savior.
5 Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven;
Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven. Used With Tune: [Lord of our life, and God of our salvation]

Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,337 hymnals Topics: Church Fellowship and Unity; Church Her Fellowship and Unity Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.
Psalter Hymnal, 1987
Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Christians, prayer may well employ you
Author: W. E. Arends Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Church Year Second Sunday in Advent; The Church Year Second Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Christians, prayer may well employ you,
The powers of darkness would destroy you:
Yea, Satan's self has planned your fall,
Wield God's word, a weapon glorious,
Against each foe; and soon victorious
Our God will make you o'er them all.
Is Satan strong and fell?
Here is Immanuel.
Sing Hosanna!
The strong ones yield,
With Christ our shield,
And we as conquerors hold the field.
2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasures,
Aye, boldly fight for heavenly treasures,
And steadfast be in Jesus' might,
He will help, whate'er betide you:
And naught will harm with Christ beside you:
Be faith you'll conquer in the fight.
Then shame, O weary soul!
Look forth toward the goal:
There joy waits you.
The race then run,
The combat done,
Your crown of glory will be won.
3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting,
The hours of grace are swift retreating!
And life is shortest to the wise.
When the trump the dead is waking,
And sinners all with fear are quaking,
Then will the saints with joy arise.
Bless God: our triumph's sure,
Though long we did endure
Scorn and trial.
Thou, Son of God,
To Thy abode
Wilt lead the way Thyself hast trod.
4 Jesus, all Thy children cherish,
And keep them that they never perish,
Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood.
Give new life, that our desiring
Be ever heavenward aspiring,
For what is holy, true and good.
Thy Spirit on us pour,
That we may love Thee more--
Hearts o'erflowing:
And then will we
Be true to Thee
In death and life eternally.

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: The Church Morning Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see;
till thy inward light impart,
glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day.

all the powers of music bring,
the music of the heart.
3 God, in whom they move and live,
let every creature sing,
glory to their Maker give,
and homage to their King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,
as in heaven on earth adored;
praise the Lord in every breath,
Let all things praise the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 150 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Topics: Church Year Lent; Church Year Maundy Thursday; Church Year Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform.
He plants his footsteps in the sea
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
he treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Scripture: Job 42:1-3 Used With Tune: DUNDEE
