O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,266 hymnals Topics: Year C Epiphany 2; Year C Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne,
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
will bear us all away;
we fade and vanish, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Meter: Irregular Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep:
[Refrain:]
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
born is the King of Israel.
2 They lookèd up and saw a star,
shining in the east beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay
right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three
full reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence,
their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
that hath made heaven and earth of naught,
and with his blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 9:12 Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: English traditional carol

Within the Father's House
Author: James Russell Woodford, 1820-1885 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Epiphany; Christian year--Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house
the Son has found his home,
and to his temple suddenly
the Lord of life has come.
2 The doctors of the Law
gaze on the wondrous child
and marvel at his gracious words
of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
the mighty truth to know,
to lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
escapes each human eye,
and faithful pond'ring hearts await
the full epiphany.
5 Lord, enter now our souls
and teach us by your grace
each dim revealing of yourself
with loving awe to trace,
6 till we behold your face
and know as we are known
you, Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
coequal Three in One. Scripture: Luke 2:40-52 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

How beauteous were the marks divine
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: Sundays after Epiphany Lyrics:
How beauteous were the marks divine
That in thy meekness used to shine;
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God!
O who like thee, so calm, so bright,
Thou Son of man, thou Light of Light;
O who like thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe?
O who like thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men before?
So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high,
So glorious in humility!
And all thy life's unchanging years,
A man of sorrows and of tears,
The cross, where all our sins were laid,
Upon thy bending shoulders weighed.
And death, that sets the prisoner free,
Was pang and scoff and scorn to thee;
Yet love through all thy torture glowed,
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.
O in thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all this way of woe;
And give me ever on the road
To trace thy footsteps, Son of God!
Amen.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices
Author: Paulus Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Epiphany and Youth Lyrics: 1 All my heart today rejoices,
as I hear, far and near,
sweetest angel voices:
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing,
till the air ev'rywhere
now with joy is ringing.
2 Hark, a voice from yonder manger;
soft and sweet doth entreat,
"Flee from woe and danger;
people come: from all doth grieves you,
you are freed; all you need
I will surely give you."
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
here let all, great and small,
kneel in awe and wonder.
Love him who with love is yearning,
hail the star that from far
bright with hope is burning.
4 Blessed Savior, let me find thee!
Keep thou me close to thee;
cast me not behind thee!
Life of life, my heart thou stillest;
calm I rest on thy breast:
all this void thou fillest.
5 Thee, O Lord, with care I'll cherish;
live to thee, and with thee dying,
shall not perish;
but shall dwell with thee forever,
far on high in the joy
that can alter never. Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Used With Tune: BONN (FRÖHLICH SOLL) Text Sources: Fröhlich soll

How Shall the Young Secure Their Hearts
Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 488 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 1 Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis like the sun, a heav'nly light
That guides us all the day,
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns Thy rule obey;
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day
Thy skill and pow'r express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy Word is everlasting truth;
How pure is ev'ry page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth
And well support our age.
Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: AZMON

De playas de coral,
De etiópicas riberas
Del mar meridional,
Naciones sumergidas
En densa oscuridad,
Nos llaman, afligidas,
A darles libertad.
2 Nosotros, alumbrados
De celestial saber,
¿A tantos desdichados
Dejamos perecer?
A las naciones demos
De Dios la salvación;
Ol nombre proclamemos
Que obró la redención.
2 Llevada por los vientos
La historia de la cruz,
Despierte sentimientos
De amor al buen Jesús,
Prepare corazones,
Enseñe su verdad
En todas las naciones
Según su voluntad.
Amén.

Decirla siempre anhelo,
Pues hay quien nunca oyó
Que para hacerle salvo
El buen Jesús murió. [Coro]

Y es más, al repetirla,
Preciosa cada vez.
La historia que yo canto
Oíd con atención,
Pues es mensaje santo
De eterna salvación. [Coro]
