Praise, my soul, the King of heaven
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Appears in 567 hymnals Topics: The Life In Christ Adoration and Praise; The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
To his feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me his praise should sing?
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.
2 Praise him for his grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise him, still the same for ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness.
3 Father-like he tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely as his mercy flows.
4 Angels, help us to adore him,
Ye behold him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before him;
Dwellers all in time and space:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: OUR LADY, TRONDHJEM

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name:
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 Used With Tune: NEUMARK
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

March On, O Soul, with Strength!
Author: George T. Coster Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Loyalty and Courage Lyrics: 1 March on, O soul, with strength!
Like those strong men of old
Who 'gainst enthroned wrong
Stood confident and bold;
Who, thrust in prison or cast to flame,
Still made their glory in Thy name.
2 The sons of fathers we
By whom our faith is taught
To fear no ill, to fight
The holy fight they fought:
Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ
By any lure or guile enticed.
3 March on, O soul, with strength,
As strong the battle rolls!
'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs,
Let courage rule our souls:
In keenest strife, Lord, may we stand,
Upheld and strengthened by Thy hand.
4 Not long the conflict: soon
The holy war shall cease,
Faith's warfare ended, won
The home of endless peace!
Look up! the victor's crown at length!
March on, O soul, march on, with strength!
Amen. Scripture: Daniel 10:19 Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT
March On, O Soul, with Strength!
I think, when I read that sweet story of old
Author: Jemima Luke, 1813 - 1906 Appears in 881 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession; The Life In Christ Contemplation Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen his kind look when he said,
'Let the little ones come unto me.'
3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in his love;
And, if I now earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above.
4 In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children are gathering there,
'For of such is the kingdom of heaven.'
5 But thousands and thousands, who wander and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I should like them to know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
6 I long for for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to his arms and be blest.

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold
As thou, dear Lord, on me.

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
Always thou lovèdst me. Used With Tune: PEACE
