All You Who Seek a Comfort Sure
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #490 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All you who seek a comfort sure
In sadness and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever griefs oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
2 Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
"All you who labor, come to me,
And I will give you rest."
O heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our every trust in you
And lift to you our prayer. Topics: Sacred Heart; Ordinary Time 14, Year A; Sacred Heart; Pastoral Care of the Sick; Comfort; Jesus Christ; Labor; Praise; Trust Scripture: Matthew 11:25-30 Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #526 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
And of the sinless boy:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
On all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hill,
Of him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still:
For though, like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master's word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For he who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save.
Amen. Topics: Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Lent; Civil Year New Year; Other Observances Christian Education Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

Lord, Who at Cana's wedding feast
'Twas in the Watches of the Night
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6974 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. ’Twas in the watches of the night
I thought upon Thy power,
I kept Thy lovely face in sight
amidst the darkest hour.
My flesh lay resting on my bed,
my soul arose on high:
My God, my life my hope, I said,
bring Thy salvation nigh.
2. My spirit labors up Thine hill,
and climbs the heav’nly road;
But Thy right hand upholds me still,
while I pursue my God.
Thy mercy stretches o’er my head
the shadow of Thy wings;
My heart rejoices in Thine aid,
my tongue awakes and sings.
3. But the destroyers of my peace
shall fret and rage in vain;
The tempter shall for ever cease,
and all my sins be slain.
Thy sword shall give my foes to death,
and send them down to dwell,
In the dark caverns of the earth,
or to the depths of hell. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
'Twas in the Watches of the Night
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7546 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. When Jesus left His Father’s throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like Him may we be found below,
In wisdom’s path of peace;
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2. Sweet were His words and kind His look,
When mothers round Him pressed;
Their infants in His arms He took,
And on His bosom blessed.
Safe from the world’s alluring harms,
Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms
May we forever lie.
3. When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strewed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior’s praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Long, Long Ago In Manger Low
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11627 Lyrics: 1 Long, long ago in manger low,
Was cradled from above,
A little child, in whom God smiled,
A Christmas gift of love;
When hearts were bitter and unjust,
And cruel hands were strong,
The noise He hushed with hope and trust,
And peace began her song.
2 Where’er the Father’s Christmas gifts
Seem only frost and snow,
And anxious stress and loneliness,
And poverty and woe;
Straightway provide a welcome wide,
Nor wonder why they came;
They stand outside our hearts and bide,
And knock in Jesus’ name.
3 For trouble, cold, and dreary care
Are angels in disguise,
And greeted fair, with trust and prayer,
As peace and love they rise;
They are the manger, wide and low,
In which a Christ child lies;
O welcome Guest, Thy cradle nest
Is always God’s surprise. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
Long, Long Ago In Manger Low
They Clothed Him In A Purple Robe
Author: William P. Balfern Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12454 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 They clothed Him in a purple robe,
And mocking, bowed the knee;
In His pale brow, all crowned with thorns,
No glory could they see.
Within His hand they placed a reed,
And smote His sacred face;
Rude furrows on His back they plowed—
The scars of their disgrace.
2 Patient our Savior stood, nor spoke
One vengeful, angry word;
Theirs was indeed the cruel hand,
Jehovah’s was the sword.
Love meekly bowed His sacred head
Beneath the vengeful knife;
He for His people freely gave
Himself, His all, His life.
3 And thus in every age Christ stands
’Mid bold, blaspheming men;
The learnèd pierce Him with their words,
The vulgar cry, "Amen."
With scornful hate and subtle thought
They nail His quivering flesh
To the cold pillar of their scorn
And tear his wounds afresh.
4 And still all silent, patient, meek,
The Lord of glory stands;
His bleeding heart He still displays,
His wounded feet and hands.
But, oh! the glory of His face
Shall yet strike terror down,
And all His foes with fear shall quail
When He shall wear His crown. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
They Clothed Him In A Purple Robe
I Sojourn In A Vale Of Tears
Author: John Mason Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16405 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: I sojourn in a vale of tears Lyrics:
1 I sojourn in a vale of tears,
Alas, how can I sing?
My harp doth on the willows hang,
Distuned in every string.
My music is a captive’s chain,
Harsh sounds my ears do fill;
How shall I sing sweet Sion’s song
On this side Sion’s hill?
2 Yet lo! I hear a joyful sound,
"Surely I quickly come";
Each word much sweetness doth distill
Like swelling honeycomb.
And dost Thou come, my dearest Lord?
And dost Thou surely come?
And dost Thou surely, quickly come?
Methinks I am at home.
3 Come then, my dearest, dearest Lord,
My sweetest, truest friend;
Come, for I loathe these Kedar tents,
Thy fiery chariots send.
What have I here? My thoughts and joys
Are all packed up and gone;
My eager soul would follow them
To Thine eternal throne.
4 What have I in this barren land?
My Jesus is not here;
Mine eyes will ne’er be blest until
My Jesus doth appear.
My Jesus is gone up to Heav’n,
To make a place for me;
For ’tis His will that where He is
There should His servants be.
5 I Canaan view from Pisgah’s top,
Of Canaan’s grapes I taste;
My Lord, who sends unto me here,
Will send for me at last.
I have a God who changeth not,
Why should I be perplexed?
The God who owns me in this world,
Will own me in the next.
6 Go fearless then, my soul, with God
Into another room;
Thou who hast walkèd with Him here
Go see thy God at home.
View death with a believing eye,
It hath an angel’s face;
And this kind angel will escort
Thee to an angel’s place.
7 The grave is but a crucible
Unto believing eyes;
For there the flesh shall lose its dross,
And like the sun shall rise.
The world, which I have known too well
Hath mocked me with its lies;
How gladly would I leave behind
Its vexing vanities!
8 My dearest friends now dwell above,
Them will I go to see;
And all my friends in Christ below
Will soon come after me.
Fear not the trump’s earth-rending sound;
Dread not the Day of Doom,
For He that is to be thy judge,
Thy Savior is become.
9 Blest be my God that gives me light,
Who in the dark did grope;
Blest be my God, the God of love,
Who causeth me to hope.
Here is Word’s signet, comfort’s staff,
And here is grace’s chain;
By these Thy pledges, Lord, I know
My hopes are not in vain.
