A Great and Mighty Wonder

Author: Germanus, c. 634-734; John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #36 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder, A glorious mystery: A virgin bears an infant Who veils his deity. Refrain: Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men." 2 The Word becomes incarnate And yet remains on high, And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds from the sky. [Refrain] 3 While thus they sing your monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, O vales and mountains, And oceans, clap your hands. [Refrain] 4 Since all he comes to ransom, By all be he adored, The infant born in Bethl'em, The Savior and the Lord. [Refrain] 5 All idols then shall perish And Satan's lying cease, And Christ shall raise his scepter, Decreeing endless peace.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #200 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done; Soon were our loss effected. But for us fights the valiant one Whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, The almighty Lord. And there's no other God; He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done! One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With his good gifts and Spirit. And do what they will -- Hate, steal, hurt, or kill -- Though all may be gone, Our victory is won; The kingdom's ours forever!

Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #588 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea; Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. 4 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me oft as I left thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me. 5 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 6 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. 7 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Across the Sky the Shades of Night

Author: James Hamilton Hymnal: CWLH1993 #69 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's Eve are fleeting. We deck your altar, Lord, with light, In solemn worship meeting, And, as the year's last hours go by, We raise to you our earnest cry, Once more your love entreating. 2 We gather up in this brief hour The mem'ry of your mercies. Your wondrous goodness, love, and pow'r Our grateful song rehearses, For you have been our strength and stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses. 3 Before the cross, subdued, we bow, To you our prayers addressing, Recounting all your mercies now And all our sins confessing. We ask you, Lord, this coming year To keep us in your faith and fear And crown us with your blessing. 4 And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us, Safe home with you in Paradise, Where Jesus will reign o'er us, And ask of you, when life is past, To reunite us all at last With those who've gone before us. 5 Then, gracious God, in years to come, Whatever may betide us, Right onward through our journey home, Oh, stay at hand to guide us, Nor leave us till, at close of life, Safe from all peril, toil, and strife, Heav'n shall enfold and hide us.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #129 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut its glories in When God, the mighty Maker, died For his own creatures' sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away -- 'Tis all that I can do.

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #421 (1993) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's abundant grace and blessing, Though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken In their God are not forsaken And e'er keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me And to many joys has led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, He who daily guides and rules me, Will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 Well he knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt his wisdom never-- As God wills, so be it ever -- I to him commit my way. 5 If on earth my days he lengthen, He my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in his grace. Topics: Trust; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN
