Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day

Author: Edmund Spenser, c. 1552-99 Hymnal: CH31973 #44 (1973) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day Didst make thy triumph over death and sin, And having harrowed hell, didst bring away Captivity thence captive, us to win: 2 This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin, And grant that we, for whom thou diddest die, Being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin, May live for ever in felicity: 3 And that thy love we, weighing worthily, May likewise love thee for the same again; And for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy, With love may one another entertain. 4 So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought, Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.

O worship the King all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: CH31973 #35 (1973) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love, Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air; it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find you to fail; Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to thy praise.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise

Author: Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824-1908 Hymnal: CH31973 #32 (1973) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, thy great Name we praise. 2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; Thy justice like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. 3 To all, life thou givest— to both great and small; In all life thou livest, the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish— but naught changeth thee. 4 Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light, Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; All laud we would render; O help us to see 'Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee!
