Lord of all being, throned afar, Thy glory flames from sun and star; Centre and soul of every sphere, Yet to each loving heart how near. 2.

Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign; All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine. 4. Lord of all life, below, above, Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before Thy ever-blazing throne We ask no lustre of our own. 5.

Author: John Wesley; Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 503 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and Righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 When from the dust of death I rise To take my mansion in the skies, E'en then shall be my only plea-- "Jesus hath lived, hath died for me." 3 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully, through Thee, absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; Age cannot change its constant hue, Thy blood preserves it ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness.

Throughout these Lenten days and nights

Author: James Gertmenian, 1947- Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Throughout these Lenten days and nights we turn to walk the inward way, where, meeting Christ, our guide and light, we live in hope till Easter day. 2 The pilgrim Christ, the Lamb of God, who found in weakness greater power, embraces us, though lost and flawed, and leads us to his rising hour. 3 We bear the silence, cross and pain of human burdens, human strife, while sisters, brothers help sustain our courage till the feast of life. 4 And though the road is hard and steep, the Spirit ever calls us on through Calvary’s dying, dark and deep, until we see the coming dawn. 5 So let us choose the path of one who wore, for us, the crown of thorn, and slept in death, that we might wake to life on Resurrection Morn! 6 Rejoice, O sons and daughters! Sing and shout hosannas! Raise the strain! For Christ, whose death Good Friday brings, on Easter day will live again!
