Lord, Speak to Me
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 458 hymnals First Line: Lord, speak to me, that I may speak Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak
in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your straying children lost and lone.
2 O lead me, so that I may lead
the wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, so that I may feed
your hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths which you impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflows
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.

Thine is the Glory (À toi la gloire)
Author: Edmond Louis Budry; Richard Birch Hoyle Appears in 111 hymnals First Line: À toi la gloire (Thine is the glory) Lyrics: 1 À toi la gloire,
Ô Ressuscité!
À toi la victoire
pour l’éternité!
Brillant de lumière,
l’ange est descendu,
il roule la pierre
du tombeau vaincu.
[Refrain:]
À toi la gloire,
O Ressuscité!
À toi la victoire
pour l’éternité!
2 Vois-le paraître:
c’est lui, c’est Jésus,
ton Sauveur, ton maître!
Oh! ne doute plus.
Sois dans l’allégresse,
peuple du Seigneur,
et redis sans cesse
que Christ est vainqueur! [Refrain]

Il vit à jamais,
celui que j’adore,
le prince de paix;
il est ma victoire,
mon puissant soutien,
ma vie et ma gloire:
non, je ne crains rien! [Refrain]
1 Thine is the glory,
risen, conquering Son:
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment
rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave-clothes
where the body lay.
[Refrain:]
Thine is the glory,
risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.
2 Lo, Jesus meets us,
risen from the tomb!
lovingly he greets us,
scatters fear and gloom.
Let the church with gladness
hymns of triumph sing,
for the Lord now liveth:
death hath lost its sting. [Refrain]
3 No more we doubt thee,
glorious Prince of life;
Life is nought without thee:
aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors,
through thy deathless love;
bring us safe through Jordan
to thy home above.

Jesus Bids Us Shine

with a pure, clear light,
like a little candle
burning in the night.
In this world of darkness,
so let us shine,
you in your small corner,
and I in mine.
2 Jesus bids us shine,
first of all for him;
well he sees and knows it
if our light grows dim:
Jesus walks beside us
to help us shine,
you in your small corner,
and I in mine.
3 Jesus bids us shine,
then, for all around,
many kinds of darkness
in this world are found:
sin, and want and sorrow;
so we must shine,
you in your small corner,
and I in mine. Topics: Church in the World Discipleship: Witness; Light; Obedience; Sin; Witness Used With Tune: JESUS BIDS US SHINE

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written,
full clear, on every page.
Our forebears owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they bade them rise, and hasten
to share the heavenly feast.
And this was all their teaching,
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many days of darkness,
through many scenes of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard your people's life.
Their gospel of redemption,
sin pardoned, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 And we, shall we be faithless?
Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict
and cast away our crown?
Not so: in God's deep counsels
some better thing is stored;
we will maintain, unflinching,
one church, one faith, one Lord.
5 Your mercy will not fail us,
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won;
and then, by earth and heaven,
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord.

The Love that Clothes Itself in Light
Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light,
stands naked now, despised, betrayed,
receiving blows to face and head
from hands that Love itself has made.
2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun,
collapses, spent, beneath the cross;
the Love that fills the universe,
goes on to death and total loss.
3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary,
rejected, scorned and crucified;
Love hangs in shame, and dies alone,
but Love abased, is glorified.
4 Extinguished with the sun at noon,
Love's light transcends all history;
Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed,
still wraps all heaven in mystery.
5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here;
though Love is absent, Love remains;
where Love is finished, Love begins;
where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns! Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Holy Week; Jesus Christ Cross; Love; Sun; Good Friday Year A Used With Tune: APANÁS
