Abide with Us, Our Saviour

From Satan's might defend us,
And grant our souls release.

Sustain us by Thy Word;
That we with all Thy people
To life may be restored.
3 Abide with us, our Saviour,
Thou Light of endless light;
Increase to us Thy blessings,

Saviour, Sprinkle Many Nations
Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Savior Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations,
Fruitful let Thy sorrows be;
By Thy pains and consolations
Draw the Gentiles unto Thee.
Of Thy cross the wondrous story,
Be it to the nations told;
Let them see Thee in Thy glory,
And Thy mercy manifold.
2 Far and wide, though all unknowing,
Pants for Thee each mortal breast:
Human tears for Thee are flowing,
Human hearts in Thee would rest.
Thirsting as for dews of even,
As the new-mown grass for rain,
Thee they seek, as God of heaven,
Thee as Man, for sinners slain.
3 Saviour, lo, the isles are waiting,
Stretched the hand, and strained the sight,
For Thy Spirit, new-creating,
Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light.
Give the word, and of the preacher
Speed the foot, and touch the tongue,
Till on earth by every creature,
Glory to the Lamb be sung.
Amen.
Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-15 Used With Tune: GREENVILLE

Thou, Whose Almighty Word
Author: John Marriott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 449 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Light Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray;
And where the gospel day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Thou, who didst come to bring,
On Thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
Now unto all mankind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight;
Move on the waters' face,
Bearing the light of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!
4 Holy and blessèd Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Love, Wisdom, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the earth, far and wide,
Let there be light!

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 352 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Dayspring First Line: Calm on the list'ning ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night
Come heav'n's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches forth
Her silver-mantled plains;
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there;
And angels, with their sparkling lyres,
Make music on the air.
2 The answ'ring hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,
And greet from all their holy heights
The Day-spring from on high:
O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm;
And Sharon waves in solemn praise
Her silent groves of palm.
3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn joy
O'er Judah's sacred hills!
"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on the earth; good will to men,"
From heaven's eternal King.
4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute,
And Christian hearts be cold?
O catch the anthem that from heaven
O'er Judah's mountains rolled,
When burst upon that listening night
The high and solemn lay,
"Glory to God; on earth be peace":
Salvation comes to-day.
Amen. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM (NEW)

My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,259 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Lamb Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
Amen. Used With Tune: OLIVET
My Faith Looks Up to Thee
One There Is Above All Others
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Friend Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others
Well deserves the name of Friend.
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once His kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When He lived on earth abasèd,
Friend of sinners was His Name:
Now, above all glory raisèd,
He rejoices in the same:
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas, forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:13 Used With Tune: AMEN SJUNGE HVARJE TUNGA

My Spirit on Thy Care
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Love Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest;
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me,
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
My Spirit on Thy Care
Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,325 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Our All Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition:
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thine earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Used With Tune: ST. HILARY
Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 921 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Maker; Names and Office of Christ Savior Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall:
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all!
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and offerings divine?
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Amen.
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,199 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Resurrection; Names and Office of Christ Sun First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply.
2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won;
Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! He sets in blood no more.
3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell!
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Christ hath opened paradise.
4 Lives again our glorious King;
Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, He all doth save;
Where thy victory, O grave?
5 Soar we now where Christ has led,
Following our exalted Head;
Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
6 Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to Thee by both be given:
Thee we greet triumphant now;
Hail, the Resurrection Thou!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8 Used With Tune: GUD VÅR GUD, FÖR VÄRLDEN
