Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ In Praise of Christ Lyrics: 1. Thou hidden source of calm repose, thou all-sufficient love divine, my help and refuge from my foes, secure I am if thou art mine; and lo! from sin and grief and shame I hide me, Jesus, in thy name. 2. Thy mighty name salvation is, and keeps my happy soul above; comfort it brings, and power and peace, and joy and everlasting love; to me with thy dear name are given pardon and holiness and heaven. 3. Jesus, my all in all thou art, my rest in toil, my ease in pain, the healing of my broken heart, in war my peace, in loss my gain, my smile beneath the tyrant's frown, in shame my glory and my crown, 4. In want my plentiful supply, in weakness my almighty power, in bonds my perfect liberty, my light in Satan's darkest hour, in grief my joy unspeakable, my life in death, my heaven in hell.

And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, 'twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HANKEY

O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there, and of the news that came to them from angels in the air. The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today; of Jesus' birth and peace on earth the angels sing alway. 2.

For now the flowers of Nazareth in every heart may grow; now spreads the fame of his dear name on all the winds that blow. 3. O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill, of him who walked upon the sea and bade the waves be still. For though like waves on Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll, when faith has heard the Master's word, falls peace upon the soul. 4. O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay, of him who hung upon the tree, and took our sins away. For he who died on Calvary is risen from the grave, and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, is mighty now to save. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Author: Gerard Moultrie Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: Praise of Christ Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand. 2 King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood, He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav'nly food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven Spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day, That the pow'rs of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away. 4 At his feet the six-winged Seraph; Cherubim, with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia! Lord most high! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:11 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 5th century
