Wise Men Came Journeying
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Wise men came journeying, once, long ago Lyrics: 1 Wise men came journeying, once, long ago,
camel hooves swirling the sand dune and snow,
gold in the saddlebag, myrrh in the jar,
incense to honor the Child of the star.
2 Wise are the travelers led to move on
following signs where the Christ light has shone,
facing the deserts and crossing the lines,
heeding no limits that culture defines.
3 Wise are each one of us looking for change,
stargazer people, respecting the strange,
inner and outer worlds open to light,
centered on seeing the real and the right.
4 Wise ones keep journeying all through their days,
bringing their gifts to the source of their praise,
risking the promise with all they hold dear,
seeking God's peace at the door of the year.

Blessing and honor and glory and power
Author: Horatius Bonar (1808-1889) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 81 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessing and honour and glory and power,
wisdom and and riches and strength evermore
give to the Lord who our battle hath won,
whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.
2 Into the heaven of the heavens hath he gone;
sitteth he now in the joy of the throne;
weareth he now of the Kingdom the crown;
singeth he now the new song with his own.
3 Soundeth the heaven of the heavens with his name;
ringeth the earth with his glory and fame;
ocean and mountains, stream, forest, and flower
echo his praises and tell of his power.
4 Ever ascendeth the song and the joy;
ever descendeth the love from on high;
blessing and honour and glory and praise, --
this is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
5 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
dying in weakness, but rising to reign. Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Healing; Heaven Scripture: Revelation 5 Used With Tune: BONNIE GEORGE CAMPBELL

Christ be my leader by night as by day
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ be my leader by night as by day;
safe through the darkness, for he is the way.
Gladly I follow, my future his care,
darkness is daylight when Jesus is there.
2 Christ be my teacher in age as in youth,
drifting or doubting, for he is the truth.
Grant me to trust him, though shifting as sand,
doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand.
3 Christ be my Saviour in calm as in strife;
death cannot hold me, for he is the life.
Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain
can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign.
