Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:25-28 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise;
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
2 God revealed at Jordan's stream,
prophet, priest and king supreme;
once revealed in power divine
changing water into wine;
Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best;
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might;
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
4 Stars shall fall and heavens fade,
sun and moon shall dark be made;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see the glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Son appear,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, 1982, rev.

Christ, above all glory seated
Author: J. R. Woodford, 1820-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:36 Lyrics: 1 Christ, above all glory seated,
King triumphant, strong to save,
dying, thou hast death defeated;
buried, thou hast spoiled the grave.
2 Thou art gone, where now is given
what no mortal might could gain,
on the eternal throne of Heaven,
in thy Father’s power to reign.
*3 There thy kingdoms all adore thee,
heaven above and earth below;
while the depths of hell before thee
trembling and defeated bow.
4 We, O Lord, with hearts adoring,
follow thee above the sky;
hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
lift our souls to thee on high.
5 So when thou again in glory
on the clouds of heaven shalt shine
we thy flock may stand before thee,
owned for evermore as thine.
6 Hail! All hail! In thee confiding,
Jesus, thee shall all adore,
in thy Father’s might abiding
with one Spirit evermore. Topics: Ascensión; Easter VII Year A; Christ the King Year B Used With Tune: WYCHBOLD Text Sources: Latin, 5th century

Lord Jesus, if the same you are
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:19-28 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, if the same you are,
if all your promises are sure,
set up your kingdom in my heart
and make me rich, for I am poor;
to me be all your treasure given,
the kingdom of an inward heaven.
2 You have pronounced the mourners blest;
for loss of you I ever mourn:
I cannot, and I will not rest
till you, my only rest, return;
till you, the Prince of Peace, appear,
and I receive the Comforter.
3 Where is the blessedness bestowed
on all that hunger after you?
I hunger now, I thirst for God:
now this poor sinner's life renew,
and satisfy with endless peace,
and fill me with your righteousness.
4 Shine on your work, disperse the gloom,
light in your light I'll see anew:
say to my soul, 'Your light is come,
glory divine is risen on you,
your warfare's done, your mourning's past;
look up, your tears shall end at last!'

God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:33 Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people,
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font and pulpit,
Here the cross has central place:
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold;
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old:
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work your purpose out:
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe! Topics: Church; Gathering; Praise; Rites of the Church Dedication of a Church; Service Music for Mass Entrance Song (Gathering of Processional); The Liturgical Year The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica (November 9); Welcome Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
