Welcome, Happy Morning!

Author: Venantius H. C. Fortunatus, ca. 530-609; John Ellerton Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say: hell today is vanquished; heav'n is won today. Lo! the Dead is living, God forevermore! Him, their true Creator, all his works adore. 2 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, thou, from heav'n beholding human nature's fall, of the Father's God-head true and only Son, manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on. 3 Thou, of life the author, death didst undergo, tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; come then, True and Faithful, now fulfil thy word, 'tis thine own third morning; rise, O buried Lord. 4 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; thine that now are fallen raise to life again; show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; bring again our daylight; day returns with thee.

At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess Him King of glory now; ’Tis the Father’s pleasure we should call Him Lord, Who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2. Mighty and mysterious in the highest height, God from everlasting, very light of light: In the Father’s bosom with the spirit blest, Love, in love eternal, rest, in perfect rest. 3. At His voice creation sprang at once to sight, All the angel faces, all the hosts of light, Thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, All the heavenly orders, in their great array. 4. Humbled for a season, to receive a name From the lips of sinners unto whom He came, Faithfully He bore it, spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious when from death He passed. 5. Bore it up triumphant with its human light, Through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, To the throne of Godhead, to the Father’s breast; Filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 6. Name Him, brothers, name Him, with love strong as death But with awe and wonder, and with bated breath! He is God the Savior, He is Christ the Lord, Ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored. 7. In your hearts enthrone Him; there let Him subdue All that is not holy, all that is not true; Crown Him as your Captain in temptation’s hour; Let His will enfold you in its light and power. 8. Brothers, this Lord Jesus shall return again, With His Father’s glory, with His angel train; For all wreaths of empire meet upon His brow, And our hearts confess Him King of glory now.

Forward! Be Our Watchword

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Steps and voices joined; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind: Burns the fiery pillar At our army’s head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward through the desert, Through the toil and fight; Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light! 2 Forward! flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Springs to glorious birth: Sick, they ask for healing; Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom’s loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light! 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared! Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word: Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright. Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight! 4 Far o'er yon horizon Rise the city towers, Where our God abideth; That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river Shedding joys untold. Thither, onward thither, In the Spirit's might: Pilgrims to your country, Forward into light! AMEN. Topics: The Call to Service Used With Tune: ST THERESA

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti; John Andrew Storey Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. 2 Christ a homeless stranger, So the gospels say, Cradled in a manger And a bed of hay; In the bleak midwinter Stableplace sufficed Mary and her baby, Jesus Christ. 3 Once more child and mother Weave their magic spell, Cradled in a manger And a bed of hay; In the bleak midwinter, In this world of pain, Where our hearts are open Love is born again. 4 What can I give him poor as I am. If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give him? I can give my heart.
