Sing of God Made Manifest
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest
in a child robust and blest,
to whose home in Bethlehem
where a star had guided them,
Magi came and gifts unbound,
signs mysterious and profound:
myrrh and frankincense and gold
grave and God and King foretold.
2 Sing of God made manifest
when at Jordan John confessed,
"I should be baptized by you,
but your bidding I will do."
Then from heaven a double sign--
dove-like Spirit, voice divine--
hailed the true Anointed One:
"This is my beloved Son."
3 Sing of God made manifest
when Christ came as wedding guest
and at Cana gave a sign,
turning water into wine;
further still was love revealed
as he taught, forgave, and healed,
bringing light and life to all
who would listen to God's call.
4 Sing of God made manifest
on the cloud capped mountain's crest,
where the law and prophets waned
so that Christ alone remained:
glimpse of glory, pledge of grace,
given as Jesus set his face
towards the waiting cross and grave,
sign of hope that God would save. Scripture: John 1:14 Used With Tune: SALZBURG
Sing of God Made Manifest
Mary to the Savior's Tomb
Author: Simeon Butler Marsh, 1798-1875; John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Mary to the Savior’s tomb
Hasted at the early dawn;
Spice she brought, and rich perfume,
But the Lord she loved had gone;
For a while she lingering stood,
Filled with sorrow and surprise,
Trembling, while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eye.
2. But her sorrow quickly fled
When she heard His welcome voice;
Christ had risen from the dead—
Now He bids her heart rejoice.
What a change His word can make,
Turning darkness into day!
Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
3. He who came to comfort her,
When she thought her all was lost,
Will for your relief appear,
Tho’ you now are tempest-tossed.
On His arm your burden cast;
On His love your thoughts employ;
Weeping for a while may last,
But the morning brings the joy. Used With Tune: MARTYN
Mary to the Savior's Tomb
God Of Nations, Throned Above
Author: J. H. Kuhlman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God of nations, throned above,
Mighty Ruler of all men,
For Thy mercy and Thy love
O accept our thanks again.
Richly Thou hast blessed our land,
But so often we forget;
God of Jacob, by Thy hand
Lead our wayward people yet.
2 Kindle still the holy fires,
Lord, extend o'er us Thy rod;
Not in vain our martyred sires
Died for country and for God;
May the freedom they have giv'n
Sign and symbol ever be
Of the liberty from heav'n,
Wherewith Christ hath made us free.
3 Lord, exert Thy gracious sway
O'er the world, from shore to shore,
And to ev'ry nation say:
Ye shall learn to war no more!
He alone can send release
Who for sins was sacrificed;
Hence we pray for endless peace
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen. Topics: National; Processionals and Recessionals National Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
God Of Nations, Throned Above
Go, Ye Messengers of God
Author: Joshua Marsden Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Go, ye messengers of God!
Like the beams of morning fly,
Take the wonder working rod,
Wave the banner cross on high;
Where the lofty minaret
Gleams along the morning skies,
Wave it till the crescent set,
And the Star of Jacob rise!
2. Go to many a tropic isle
In the bosom of the deep,
Where the skies forever smile
And the oppressed forever weep:
O’er their gloomy night of care
Pour the living light of Heaven;
Chase away their dark despair,
Bid them hope to be forgiven!
3. Where the golden gates of day
Open on the palmy East,
Wide the bleeding cross display,
Spread the Gospel’s richest feast:
Bear the tidings round the ball,
Visit every soil and sea:
Preach the cross of Christ to all,
Jesus’ love is full and free! Used With Tune: CULFORD Text Sources: Amusements of a Mission (New York: 1812)
Go, Ye Messengers of God
Savior, I Have Need of Thee
Author: T. S. Perry Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Savior, I have need of Thee;
Faith is faint, and hope is weak;
Far and farther seems to be
That fair home of Thine I seek;
Home and rest, and peace divine
From my seeking seem to flee;
Yet, dear Savior, I am Thine;
Come, for I have need of Thee.
2. Let me know that love of Thine
Which all knowledge passeth still;
Let me feel Thy peace divine:
All my spirit sweetly fill;
Life of my life wilt Thou be;
Then betide whatever may,
It shall be enough for me,
I shall walk with Thee today. Used With Tune: REMSBERG Text Sources: Hymns of Christian Endeavor, by S. W. Adriance (Boston, Massachusetts: The United Society of Christian Endeavor, 1888), number 81
Savior, I Have Need of Thee
Thou, the Christ Forever One
Author: William Bright Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou, the Christ forever one,
Mary’s child and Israel’s God,
Daniel’s prince and David’s son,
Jacob’s star and Jesse’s rod,
Thou of whom of the prophets spake,
Thou in whom their words came true,
Hear the pleading prayer we make,
Hear the Gentile for the Jew!
2. Knowing what the Spirit saith,
Sure of Thee, our Christ divine,
Lo, we stand, by right of faith,
Heirs of Abraham’s chartered line;
Can we then his sons forget,
Branches severed from their tree,
Exiles from their homes, and yet
Kinsmen, Lord, in flesh to Thee?
3. Though the blood betrayed and spilt,
On the race entailed a doom,
Let its virtue cleanse the guilt,
Melt the hardness, chase the gloom;
Lift the veil from off their heart,
Make them Israelites indeed,
Meet once more for lot and part
With Thy household’s genuine seed.
4. Thou that didst Thy dews outpour,
Crowning alien grafts with fruit,
Soon the native growths restore,
Making glad the parent root:
Ah! but let not pride ensnare
Souls that need to mourn their sin;
Still the boughs adopted spare,
And the outcasts—graft them in!
5. Speed the day of union sweet
When with us in faith allied,
Israel’s heart shall turn to greet
Thee, whom Israel crucified;
Thee, in all Thy truth and grace,
Owned at last as Salem’s king,
While her children find their place,
Gathered safe beneath Thy wing. Used With Tune: CULFORD Text Sources: Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

Let my life be hid in Thee
Author: John Bull Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let my life be hid in Thee,
Life of life and Light of light!
Love’s illimitable Sea!
Depth of peace and power the height!
Let my life be hid in Thee
From vexation and annoy;
Calm in Thy tranquility,
All my mourning turned to joy.
2 Let my life be hid in Thee
When alarms are gathering round,
Covered with Thy panoply,
Safe within Thy holy ground.
Let my life be hid in Thee;
In the world, and yet above;
Hid in Thine eternity,
In the ocean of Thy love.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Peace, Spiritual Used With Tune: WIEMAR

Jesus, mighty to renew
Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Jesus, nighty to renew,
Work in me to will and do;
Turn mu nature's rapid tide,
Stem the torrent of my pride.
Stop the whirlwind of my will,
speak, and bid the sun stand still;
Now Thy love almighty show,
Make ev'n me a creature new.
Jesus, mighty to renew
