This Is the Threefold Truth

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 12.12.12 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: This is the threefold truth on which our faith depends Lyrics: 1 This is the three-fold truth on which our faith depends; and with this joyful cry worship begins and ends: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! 2 Made sacred by long use, new-minted for our time, our liturgies sum up the hope we have in him: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! 3 On this we fix our minds as, kneeling side by side, we take the bread and wine from him the crucified: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! 4 By this we are upheld when doubt or grief assails our Christian fortitude, and only grace avails: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again! 5 This is the three-fold truth which, if we hold it fast, changes the world and us and brings us home at last: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again!

Though tears flow at night, the morning brings new joy. 3 I said, "I am so strong, I never shall be moved", but you, Lord, shook my life – my heart was in distress. I cried out for your help and pleaded for your grace: 4 my mourning you have turned to dancing and to joy; my sadness you dispelled as gladness filled my soul, and so I'll sing your praise, my God, through all my days!

My God, I Thank Thee

Author: Adelaide A. Procter Meter: 12.12.12 Appears in 223 hymnals First Line: My God, I thank Thee, who hast made Lyrics: 1. My God, I thank Thee, who hast made The earth so bright, So full of splendor and of joy, Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. 2. I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made Joy to abound; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round, That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. 3. I thank Thee more that all our joy Is touched with pain, That shadows fall on brightest hours, That thorns remain; So that earth’s bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. 4. For thou who knowest, Lord, how soon Our weak heart clings, Hast given us joys, tender and true, Yet all with wings; So that we see gleaming on high Diviner things. 5. I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept The best in store; We have enough, yet not too much To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace Not known before. 6. I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls Though amply blessed, Can never find, although they seek A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus’ breast.

The sun is on the land and sea, The day begun; Our morning hymn begins with Thee, Blest Three in One; Our praise shall rise continually Till day is done. 2. Thy love was ever in our view, Like stars, by night; Thy gifts are every morning new, O God of light; Thy mercy, like the heavens’ blue, Fills all our sight. 3. We do not know what grief or care The day may bring; The heart shall find some gladness there, That loves its king; The life that serves Thee everywhere Can always sing. 4. All glory to the Father be, With Christ the Son, And, Holy Spirit, unto Thee, Forever One; All glory to the Trinity While ages run! Used With Tune: WENTWORTH

Once He Came in Blessing

Author: Johann Roh; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 12.12.12 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Once He came in blessing, All our ills redressing, Came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; Bore the cross to save us, Hope and freedom gave us. 2. Still He comes within us, Still His voice would win us From the sins that hurt us; Would to truth convert us From our foolish errors, Ere He comes in terrors. 3. Thus if Thou hast known Him, Not ashamed to own Him, Nor dost love Him coldly, But will trust Him boldly, He will now receive thee, Heal thee, and forgive thee. 4. He who well endureth, Bright reward secureth; Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us; Let us here confess Thee, Till in Heav’n we bless Thee.
