Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 115 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 1:4-6 Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release:
and the city’s crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O Lord, thine own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
cheer the faint and feed the hungry
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

we take the pardon of our God,
pardon for sins of deepest dye,
a pardon sealed with Jesus' blood: [Refrain]

to raise this song of lofty praise: [Refrain] Topics: Proper 10 Year B; Third Sunday Before Advent Year C Used With Tune: VATER UNSER

Today Your Mercy Calls Us
Author: Oswald Allen, 1816-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 Lyrics: 1 Today Your mercy calls us
To wash away our sin.
However great our trespass,
Whatever we have been,
However long from mercy
Our hearts have turned away,
Your precious blood can wash us
And make us clean today.
2 Today Your gate is open,
And all who enter in
Shall find a Father's welcome
And pardon for their sin.
The past shall be forgotten,
A present joy be giv'n,
A future grace be promised,
A glorious crown in heav'n.
3 Today our Father calls us;
The Holy Spirit waits;
His blessed angels gather
Around the heav'nly gates.
No question will be asked us
How often we have come;
Although we oft have wandered,
It is our Father's home.
4 O all-embracing Mercy,
O ever-open Door,
What should we do without You
When heart and eye run o'er?
When all things seem against us,
To drive us to despair,
We know one gate is open,
One ear will hear our prayer.

Walking in Darkness and trusting in God
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 1:10 First Line: Hear, gracious God, my humble moan Lyrics: 1 Hear, gracious God, my humble moan
To thee I breathe my sighs,
When all the mournful night begone?
And when my joys arise?
2 My God—O could I make the claim—
My father and my friend—
And call thee mine, by every name,
On which thy saints depend!
3 By every name of power and love,
I would thy grace intreat;
Nor should my humble hopes remove,
Nor leave thy sacred seat.
4 Yet tho' my soul in darkness mourns,
Thy word is all my stay;
Here I would rest, 'till light returns,
Thy presence makes my day.
5 Speak, Lord, and bid celestial peace
Relieve my aking heart;
O smile, and bid my sorrows cease,
And all their gloom depart.
6 Then shall my drooping spirit rise,
And bless thy healing rays,
And change these deep complaining sighs,
For songs of sacred praise.
