Lord God, to Thee We Give All Praise

Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Paul Eber, 1511-69; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Feasts and Festivals St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to Thee we give all praise, With grateful hearts our voices raise, That angel hosts Thou didst create Around Thy glorious throne to wait. 2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace And constantly behold Thy face; They heed Thy voice, they know it well, In godly wisdom they excel. 3 They never rest nor sleep as we; Their whole delight is but to be With Thee, Lord Jesus, and to keep Thy little flock, Thy lambs and sheep. 4 The ancient dragon is their foe; His envy and his wrath they know. It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he of old deceived the world And into sin and death has hurled, So now he subtly lies in wait To undermine both Church and state. 6 A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them in his dreadful pow'r. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on ev'ry hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the foe. 8 For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore.

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Author: Bp. W. W. How Appears in 169 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Circumcision Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus! Name decreed of old: To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave "Jesus shall His people save." 4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 5 Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to thee. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesus! Name of wondrous love]

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 328 hymnals Topics: Feast Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face, here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, and all my weariness upon you lean. 2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God, here drink with you the royal wine of heaven; here I will lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table for me spread; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the fellowship of living wine and bread. 4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear. The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

I've Canann's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Amen. Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. Alexander Meter: 8.7 Appears in 969 hymnals Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Andrew Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me;" 2 As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more." 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love Him more than these." 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult]
