In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Rossetti, 1830-1894 Meter: Irregular Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Lyrics: 1 In the bleak mid-winter, Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter, Long ago. 2 Our God, heav'n cannot hold Him, Nor earth sustain; Heav'n and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign; In the bleak mid-winter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Angels and archangels May have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air; But His mother only, In her maiden bliss, Worshiped the beloved With a kiss. 4 What can I give him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a wise man, I would do my part; Yet what I can I give Him-- Give my heart. Scripture: Luke 2:7-8 Used With Tune: CRANHAM

God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending

Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at your throne. 3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted, gain through powers your grace conferred; ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel word. Open wide our hands in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching, and reclaiming, serving you by loving all. Scripture: James 1:5 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ Christ's Life and Teaching Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

The fullness of the nations call; lift up the standard of your cross, and all shall own you died for all. Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
