Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 517 hymnals Lyrics: Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys, How bright their glories be. 276 Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. I ask them whence their victory came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death. They marked the footsteps that he trod, His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. Our glorious Leader claims our praise For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Show the same path to heaven. Topics: Holy Days All Saints Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL

O little town of Bethlehem!

Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 852 hymnals Lyrics: O little town of Bethlehem! How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Amen.

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. Jesus! Name decreed of old To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave "Jesus shall his people save." Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child When the cup of human woe First he tasted here below. Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters and is saved. Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to thee. Amen. Topics: Circumcision; Catechism; Sunday Schools Christmastide Used With Tune: ST. BEES

Hark! the song of jubilee

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 446 hymnals Lyrics: Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fullness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore: "Hallelujah! for the Lord God Omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah!" let the word Echo round the earth and main. Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the depths unto the skies. Wakes above, beneath, around All creation's harmonies; See Jehovah's banner furled, Sheathed his sword; he speaks; 'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens have passed away. Then the end; beneath his rod Man's last enemy shall fall: Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ is All in All. Topics: Sundays after Epiphany; Processional Used With Tune: THANKSGIVING

O come and mourn with me awhile

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 216 hymnals Lyrics: O come and mourn with me awhile; And tarry here the cross beside; O come, together let us mourn; Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. Have we no tears to shed for him, While soldiers scoff and Jews deride? Ah! look how patiently he hangs; Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. Seven times he spake, seven words of love; And all three hours his silence cried For mercy on the souls of men; Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. O love of God! O sin of man! In this dread act your strength is tried; And victory remains with love; For thou, our Lord, art crucified! Amen. Topics: Holy Week; Sunday Schools Passiontide Used With Tune: ST. CROSS

O Spirit of the living God

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 374 hymnals Lyrics: O Spirit of the living God, In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above Whene'er the joyful sound is heard. Be darkness, at thy coming, light; Confusion, order, in thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might, Bid mercy triumph over wrath. Convert the nations! far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The Name of Jesus glorify Till every people call him Lord. Amen.

Songs of thankfulness and praise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David's stem In thy birth at Bethlehem; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding-guest, In thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devil's might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee, Christ will then like lightning shine, All will see his glorious sign: All will then the trumpet hear; All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in Man made manifest. Grant us grace to see thee, Lord, Mirrored in thy holy word; May we imitate thee now, And be pure, as pure art thou; That we like to thee may be At thy great Epiphany; And may praise thee, ever blest, God in Man made manifest. Amen. Topics: Epiphany; Sunday Schools Epiphanytide Used With Tune: SALZBURG

O happy band of pilgrims

Author: St. Joseph the Hymnographer; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread With Jesus as your fellow To Jesus as your head! O happy if ye labour As Jesus did for men! O happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then! The cross that Jesus carried, He carried as your due: The crown that Jesus weareth, He weareth it for you. The faith by which ye see him, The hope in which ye yearn, The love that through all troubles To him alone will turn; The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure; What are they but his jewels, Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth? O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize! 497 To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God whom we adore, Be loftiest praises given, Now and for evermore. Amen. Topics: Sundays after Trinity Divine Guidance; Travelers by Sea and Land; Processional; Sunday Schools Closing Hymns; Sunday Schools Processionals Used With Tune: KNECHT

Soldiers of the cross, arise!

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise! Gird you with your armor bright! Mighty are your enemies, Hard the battle ye must fight. 2 O'er a faithless fallen world, Raise your banner in the sky! Let it float there wide unfurled! Bear it onward! lift it high! 3 'Mid the homes of want and woe, Strangers to a living Word, Let the Saviour's herald go! Let the voice of hope be heard! 4 Where the shadows deepest lie, Carry truth's unsullied ray! Where are crimes of blackest dye, There the saving sight display! 5 To the weary and the worn Tell of realms where sorrows cease! To the outcast and forlorn Speak of mercy and of peace! 6 Guard the helpless! seek the strayed! Comfort troubles! banish grief! In the might of God arrayed, Scatter sin and unbelief! 7 Be the banner still unfurled, Still unsheathed the Spirit's sword, Till the kingdoms of the world Are the kingdom of the Lord! Amen.

The day is past and gone

Author: John Leland Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 597 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is past and gone; The evening shades appear: O may we all remember well The night of death draws near. 2 We lay our garments by, Upon our beds to rest; So death shall soon disrobe us all Of what is here possest. 3 Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears; May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: GARDEN CITY
