Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The People of God Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen!

O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round, my onward path illuming. 3 And so the yearning strong with which the soul will long shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace, till Love create the place wherein the Holy Spirit makes its dwelling.

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Change and decay in all around I see - you never change, O Lord: abide with me! 3 I need your presence every passing hour: what but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me! 4 I have no fear with you at hand to bless; ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies! Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Scripture: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
