mortal, we pass through beauty that decays,
yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise:

caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night,
who touched the truth, who burned for what is right:

thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
a love not changed by time or death or dread:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

lying in darkness does its life retain,
in resurrection to grow green again:

I've Found It, Lord, in Thee
Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.9.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:19 First Line: My soul in trouble roamed Refrain First Line: I have found it, Lord, in Thee Lyrics: 1 My soul in trouble roamed
Upon a weary plain,
And ever restless, longed
A perfect bliss to gain.
Refrain:
I have found it, Lord, in Thee
An everlasting store
Of comfort, joy, and bliss to me:
How can I wish for more?
2 Oppressed with guilt and woe,
With fears of hell o’ercast,
My soul no comfort knew
Until I came to Christ. [Refrain]
3 I bore within my breast
A deep and painful void,
I wanted inward rest,
And peace that would abide. [Refrain]
4 My foolish soul had thought
To fill itself with mold
From earthly mines, yet bought
No true and lasting gold. [Refrain]
5 All in this world is dross;
Its pleasures soon decay;
Its honors prove a snare;
Its treasures fly away.

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,319 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:11-23 Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I!
2 Was it for sins that I have done
he suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide
and shut its glories in,
when Christ, the great Redeemer, died
for human creatures' sin.
4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe;
here, Lord, I give myself away;
'tis all that I can do. Topics: Atonement; Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Commitment; Grace; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 824 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:15-17 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes the prisoner to release,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, from thickest films of vice,
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eyes long closed in night
To pour celestial day.
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And, with the treasures of his grace,
Enrich the humble poor.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name. Topics: Christ Incarnation; Object of Christ's Advent
Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes
