Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Appears in 312 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 6 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 7 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine.

Thou Pilgrim dear; Come, Jesus mine! be Thou my Guest, And in my heart find welcome rest. 2 Let me entreat Thee, dearest Friend, For truly, I the best intend: Thou knowest that Thou ever art A welcome Guest unto my heart. 3 The day is now far spent and gone, It is toward ev'ning, night comes on; O bide with me throughout this night, And be my cheer, Thou Light of light. 4 Shine in my soul and light the way That leads to everlasting day, That I may never be misled, Though sin's dread night be round me spread. 5 And when I on my death-bed lie Help me, and let me gently die. O stay! I will not let Thee go! Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Mission Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze; And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, Oh gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them share the peace of heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And help the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall those wandered from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.

O receive whom God appointed For your Prophet, Priest and King. 3 Hasten, mortals, to adore Him; Learn His name and taste His joy; Till in heav'n ye sing before Him, Glory be to God most high!

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Ascension First Line: See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark, the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies,-- He hath gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan; He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 While He lifts Hs hands in blessing He is parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends. He who walked with God and pleased him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To His everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before Him quail. Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place, Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 5 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne. Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own. 6 Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son, Dying, risen, ascending for us, Who the heavenly realm hath won; Glory to the Holy Spirit! To One God in Persons Three Glory both in earth and heaven, Glory, endless glory, be. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 68:18 Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross; The sinner's Hope let all deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon that cross we see In shining letters, "God is Love." He bears our sins upon the tree, He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross!--it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up, It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes all terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinners' refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above. Amen. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S

O Jesus King of glory!

Author: Martin Behm; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of glory! Both David’s God and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In heaven is fixed Thy throne: Help, that in earth’s dominions Throughout, from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute-gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. The Eastern star points to Thee, As doth the inspired Word, Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our blest Redeemer, Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by the Word we're told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jeweled crown Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thou ever teem'st with goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thy almighty arm, That they may dwell in safety From those who mean but harm. 5 Ah, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor, Admit me to Thy kingdom, To dwell there, blest and sure. Vouchsafe to keep and guide me Safe from all evil foes, From sin, and death, and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far; Help us confess Thee truly, And with Thy Christendom, Here own Thee King and Savior And in the world to come.

Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break his covenant of blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified.
