when our hearts are bowed with care.

alleluia, alleluia!
comes to save us from despair.

bringing news of sins forgiven.
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,
leading souls redeemed to heaven.

when the heavens shall pass away.

let us then our homage pay,
alleluia, alleluia!

Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: James 5:9 Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release:
and the city’s crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O Lord, thine own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
cheer the faint and feed the hungry
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
Author: William Turton, 1856-1938 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: James 5:19-20 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
that all thy church might be for ever one,
grant us at every Eucharist to say
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done':
O may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace:
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the church which still that faith doth keep:
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
through this blest sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: Maundy Thursday; Proper 18 Year A Used With Tune: SONG 1

If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again

When memory recalls them now and then!
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
Refrain:
If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice as then!
So glad I’d be, ’twould mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.
2 She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely,
And always walk the shining gospel way;
So trusting still His love, I seek that home above,
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day. [Refrain]
3 Within the old home-place her patient, smiling face
Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer;
And when she used to sing to her eternal King,
It was the songs the angels loved to hear. [Refrain]
4 Her work on earth is done, the life-crown has been won,
And she will be at rest with Him above;
And some glad morning she, I know, will welcome me
To that eternal home of peace and love. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/If_I_Could_Hear_My_Mother_Pray_Again); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (48)
