Choose the Living Way
Author: Neil Barham Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The voice that shook the mountains Lyrics: 1. The voice that shook the mountains
and covered them with smoke,
From cloud and fiery pillar
His great commandment spoke:
I call the earth and heaven
as witness here today
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.
2. “The law of sweet, abundant life
engraved by God on stone
Will lead you to the living Word
and make you all His own.
Obey and seek the blessing
and shun the cursed way:
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.
3. “If you will love the Lord your God
and listen to His voice,
The generations after you
forever will rejoice!
His beautiful commandment
will give you length of days.
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.
4. I am the God of Jacob,
yes Isaac’s God I Am,
By everlasting covenant,
the God of Abraham.
Hold fast to My strong promise:
Your life is in My praise!
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

When Joseph Went with Mary
Author: Richard Adams Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. When Joseph went with Mary
To David’s royal town,
With travelling were they weary,
Yet lodging not they found;
They searched the city over,
At every inn did call;
No room, they heard, and time again,
So stayed in oxen’s stall.
2. No palace fit for royal birth,
No purple robes disclose;
The King of Glory, come from Heav’n,
A lowly manger chose;
Our Savior and Redeemer,
In swaddling clothes entwined,
The Babe whose life would be the price
To rescue lost mankind.
3. While shepherds flocks were watching,
And sleeping in the field,
Announcement of Immanuel’s birth
Was suddenly revealed;
A sun-bright shining angel,
Said, Fear not, I am here
To bring glad tidings of great joy,
But shepherds shook with fear.
4. Shake off your fears and listen—
Lo, you have cause to sing!
Here in the town of David
Tonight is born a King;
For God so loved the world that
He sent His only Son;
Who places faith in Him alone
Eternal life has won.
5. While shepherds wondered at the news
Then glorious hosts appear,
Proclaiming, Glory, peace on earth,
The Savior now is near;
No longer be a stranger,
He waits for you this night;
Go see the Prince in manger straw
In royal stable bright.
6. They hastened unto Bethlehem,
With eagerness did go,
They found the Child in swaddling clothes,
Amazed that it was so;
Like them, do not reject Him,
Nor spurn that gracious call,
From One who came to earth for us,
The price to pay for all. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely
Author: Anonymous Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: O Lord of hosts, how lovely Lyrics: 1. O Lord of hosts, how lovely
Thy tabernacles are;
For them my heart is yearning
in banishment afar
My soul is longing, fainting,
Thy sacred courts to see;
My heart and flesh are crying,
O living God for Thee.
2. Behold the sparrow finds
place for peaceful rest,
To keep her young in safety
the swallow finds a nest;
Then, Lord, my King almighty,
Thy love will shelter me;
Beside Thy holy altar
my dwelling-place shall be.
3. Blest they who dwell in Zion,
whose joy and strength Thou art;
Forever they will praise Thee,
Thy ways are in their heart.
Though tried, their tears like showers
shall fill the springs of peace,
And all the way to Zion
their strength shall still increase.
4. So they from strength unwearied
go forward unto strength,
Till they appear in Zion,
before the Lord at length.
O hear, Lord God of Jacob,
to me an answer yield;
The face of Thine anointed,
behold, O God, our shield.
5. One day excels a thousand,
if spent Thy courts within;
I’ll chose Thy threshold rather
than dwell in tents of sin.
Our sun and shield Jehovah,
will grace and glory give;
No good will He deny them
that uprightly do live. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 227

may Christ be light to mine!
my sun in risen splendour,
my light of truth divine;
my guide in doubt and darkness,
my true and living way,
my clear light ever shining,
my dawn of heaven's day.
2 Life of the souls that love him,
may Christ be ours indeed!
the living bread from heaven
on whom our spirits feed;
who died for love of sinners
to bear our guilty load,
and make of life's brief journey
a new Emmaus road.
3 Strength of the wills that serve him,
may Christ be strength to me,
who stilled the storm and tempest,
who calmed the tossing sea;
his Spirit's power to move me,
his will to master mine,
his cross to carry daily
and conquer in his sign.
4 May it be ours to know him
that we may truly love,
and loving, fully serve him
as serve the saints above;
till in that home of glory
with fadeless splendour bright,
we serve in perfect freedom
our strength, our life, our light. Topics: Lent II Year B; Proper 7 Year B; Proper 14 Year A; Proper 19 Year B Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23-24 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN Text Sources: Based on a prayer of St. Augustine of Hippo
