Go, Tell It on the Mountain
Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response First Line: While shepherds kept their watching Lyrics: Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!

O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]

When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth. [Refrain]

The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 42:11-12 Used With Tune: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN Text Sources: Spiritual

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no op'ning skies,
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear:
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heav'n-descended Dove.
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
Amen. Scripture: Galatians 5:25 Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that follow'st all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to hide from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red,
Life that shall endless be.

Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;

Be wholly Thine.

Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day;
Wipe sorrow's tears away;
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Savior, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.

Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,710 hymnals Topics: Gospel Call and Response Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 4:6 Used With Tune: ERIE
