When in Our Music God is Glorified

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: ELH1996 #380 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified, And adoration leaves no room for pride, It is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia! 2 How often, making music, we have found A new dimension in the world of sound, As worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia! 3 So has the Church, in liturgy and song, In faith and love, through centuries of wrong, Borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue, Alleluia! 4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night When utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight, Alleluia! 5 Let ev'ry instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Alleluia!

Wilt Thou forgive those sins through which I run, And do run still, though still I do deplore? When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done, For I have more. 2 Wilt Thou forgive that sin, by which I won Others to sin, and made my sin their door? Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun A year or two, but wallowed in a score? When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done, For I have more. 3 I have a sin of fear that when I've spun My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; Swear by Thyself, that at my death Thy Son Shall shine as He shines now, and heretofore. And having done that, Thou hast done, I fear no more. Topics: Confession and Absolution; Trinity 19 Languages: English Tune Title: DONNE

Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger, than the last. 2 Anoint them prophets, Make their ears attent To Thy divinest speech, their hearts awake To human need, their lips make eloquent To gird the right and ev'ry evil break. 3 Anoint them priests, strong intercessors, they, For pardon and for charity and peace, Ah, if with them the world might, now astray, Find in our Lord from all its woes release. 4 Anoint them kings, aye, kingly kings, O Lord. Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son. Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make them apostles, heralds of Thy cross; Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace. Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss And stand at last with joy before Thy face. Topics: Trinity 19 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH

Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: ELH1996 #561 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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, O 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 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. O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in every 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! 6 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, O abide with me! 7 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. 8 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!

From harm and danger keep Thy children free; For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our Balm in sorrow and our Stay in strife. Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace. Topics: Benediction Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

O How Blest Are Ye Whose Toils Are Ended

Author: S. Dach; H. W. Longfellow, 1807-82 Hymnal: ELH1996 #526 (1996) Meter: 10.10.5.10 Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended, Who through death have unto God ascended! Ye have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings. 3 Ye meanwhile are in your chambers sleeping, Quiet, and set free from all our weeping; No cross or sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; Ye have that for which we still endeavor; To you are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 5 Ah, who would, then, not depart with gladness To inherit heav'n for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death: A Sleep; Trinity 24 Languages: English
