All Whose Boast It Is
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: All whose boast it is that we Lyrics: 1 All whose boast it is that we
come of forebears brave and free,
if there breathe on earth a slave,
are we truly free and brave?
If we do not feel the chain
when it works another’s pain,
are we not base slaves indeed,
slaves unwilling to be freed?
2 Is true freedom but to break
fetters for our own dear sake,
and with leathern hearts forget
we owe humankind a debt?
No, true freedom is to share
all the chains that others wear,
and, with heart and hand, to be
earnest to make others free.
3 They are slaves who fear to speak
for the fallen and the weak;
they are slaves who will not choose
hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
rather than in silence shrink
from the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
in the right with two or three. Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Freedom; Justice and Equity; Right of Conscience Used With Tune: SALZBURG
All Whose Boast It Is
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
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
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

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

praise we all our common Lord;
for we all have heard his voice,
all have made his will our choice.
Join we with the saints of old,
no more strangers in the fold,
one the Shepherd who us sought,
one the flock his blood has bought.
2 One our Master, one alone,
none but Christ as Lord we own;
"brethren of his law" are we —
“As I loved you, so love ye.”
Branches we in Christ, the Vine,
living by his life divine;
as the Father with the Son,
so, in Christ, we all are one.
3 One the name in which we pray,
one our Savior day by day;
with one cup and with one bread
thus one cov'nant way we tread.
One in spirit, one in life,
one amid earth’s frequent strife,
one in faith and one in love,
one in hope of heav'n above.

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.

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.

Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 542 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with alleluias rang
When Creation was begun,
When God spoke and it was done.
Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity,
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.
2 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ,
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
Amen. Topics: Adoration; Worship Adoration Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

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
