O Lord almighty thou whose hands
O Zion, Open Wide Thy Gates
Author: Jean B. Santeuil; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Zion, open wide thy gates,
Let priest and victim, both in one,
The truth Himself, is here.
2. No more the simple flock shall bleed;
Behold, the Father’s Son
Himself to His own altar comes
For sinners to atone.
3. Conscious of hidden deity,
The lowly virgin brings
Her newborn babe, with two young doves,
Her humble offerings.
4. The agèd Simeon sees at last
His Lord, so long desired,
And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope,
With holy rapture fired.
5. But silent knelt the mother blest
Of the yet silent Word,
And pondering all things in her heart,
With speechless praise adored.
6. All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1680; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849

Lord God, my Saviour, day and night
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, my Saviour, day and night
before thee cried have I.
2 Before thee let my prayer come;
give ear unto my cry.
3 For troubles great do fill my soul;
my life draws night the grave.
4 I'm counted with those that go down
to death, and no strength have.
5 Free midst the dead, like to the slain
that in the grave do lie;
cut off from thy hand, whom no more
thou hast in memory.
6 Thou hast me laid in lowest pit,
in deeps and darksome caves;
7 thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast
me pressed with all they waves.
8 Thou hast put far from me my friends,
made me their scorn to know;
and I am so shut up that I
no longer forth can go.
9 By reason of my deep distress,
mine eye doth waste away;
to thee, Lord, I call, and stretch
my hands out every day.
10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?
shall they rise and thee bless?
11 Shall in the grave thy love be told?
in death thy faithfulness?
12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark,
or shall thy righteousness
be known to any in the land
of deep forgetfulness?
13 But, Lord, to thee I cried; my prayer
at morn shall come to thee.
14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul,
and hide thy face from me?
15 Distressed am I, and from my youth
I ready am to die,
thy terrors I have borne, and am
distracted fearfully.
16 By thy fierce wrath I'm overwhelmed,
cut off by dread of thee;
17 like floods thy terrors round me close,
all day they compass me.
18 My friends thou hast put far from me,
and him that did me love;
and those that mine acquaintance were
to darkness didst remove. Scripture: Psalm 88 Used With Tune: BANGOR
Lord God, my Saviour, day and night
"Come, Lazarus"
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called Lyrics: 1 "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called,
and from the stony grave came forth
his friend, from death unthralled,
to show God's power to save.
2 It was no light or easy task
to wake this one who slept;
the Healer feigned no callous mark;
moved deeply, Jesus wept.
3 Fill us with your compassion, Lord,
our fear and pride remove,
till all our lives enflesh your word
and bear your wounds of love.
4 Convert our wills and make us whole;
wean us from selfish strife;
transform each heart and mind and soul
with your abundant life.
5 Then send us forth to show your love
in every time and place,
that healed and healing we may prove
the channels of your grace. Topics: Lent; Christ--Compassion of; Christian year--Lent; Healing; Wholeness Scripture: John 11:44 Used With Tune: BANGOR

Father And Canst Thou Me Receive?
Author: Christian H. Bateman, 1813-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Father and canst Thou me receive Lyrics: 1 Father and canst Thou me receive,
So deep by sin defiled?
And canst Thou let the rebel live
And own Thy wandering child?
2 All sin, all rags, just as I am,
My Father, will I come,
All over guilt, I blush with shame,
And yet through Christ I come.
3 Thy choicest robe shall deck me well
Thy smile, my spirit cheer,
Bright angels loud my welcome tell,
Thy voice disperse my fear.
4 Oh wondrous grace! Oh love divine!
That lets the sinner live,
Father, receive me now as Thine,
And now Thy welcome give! Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Children's Hymnal and Christian Year (London: John Hodges, 1872)

Dear Lord! Behold Our Sore Distress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore distress;
Our sins attempt to reign;
Stretch out Thine arm of conquering grace,
And let Thy foes be slain.
2 The lion with his dreadful roar
Affrights Thy feeble sheep:
Reveal the glory of Thy power,
And chain him to the deep.
3 Must we indulge a long despair?
Shall our petitions die?
Our mournings never reach Thine ear,
Nor tears affect Thine eye?
4 If Thou despise a mortal groan,
Yet hear a Savior’s blood;
An advocate so near the throne
Pleads and prevails with God.
5 He brought the Spirit’s powerful sword
To slay our deadly foes;
Our sins shall die beneath Thy Word,
And hell in vain oppose.
6 How boundless is our Father’s grace,
In height, and depth, and length!
He makes his Son our righteousness,
His Spirit is our strength. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1706-09, Book 2

How long will your forget me, Lord
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How long will you forget me, Lord Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?
How long shall evils tear my heart
and troubles fill my day?
2 Look on my need, O Lord my God
who grants my every breath;
give light that I may see your light,
nor sleep the sleep of death.
3 Look on their threats and hear my cry,
and answer when I call,
or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.
4 But since I trust your constant love,
my heart is glad and free
to sing the praises of the lord
whose grace has rescued me. Topics: Discouragement / Despair; Doubt; God Love and Grace of; Lament; Light; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Trust Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: BANGOR

O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years,
speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.

they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.

one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:
4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:
5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prophets Used With Tune: BANGOR
