When Morning Gilds the Skies
Author: E. Caswall Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 714 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking, cries,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Alike at work and prayer,
to Jesus I repair.
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
2 The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
The pow'rs of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
3 Ye nations of mankind
in this your concord find:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let all the earth around
ring joyous with the sound:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
4 To God, the Word on High,
the hosts of angels cry,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let mortals, too, upraise
their voice in hymns of praise:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
3 Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, when day is past,
of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
5 In heav'n's eternal bliss
the loveliest strain is this:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
6 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long:
"May Jesus Christ be praised!"

My precious blood I shed
That thou might'st ransomed be
And quickened from the dead.
I gave my life for thee;
Come, give thyself to me!
2 My Father's home of light,
My rainbow-circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wand'rings sad and lone.
I left it all for thee;
Come now and follow me!
3 I spent long years for thee
In weariness and woe
That an eternity
Of joy thou mightest know.
I spent long years for thee;
Come, spend thy years for me.
4 I suffered much for thee,
More than my tongue may tell,
Of bitt'rest agony,
To rescue thee from hell.
I suffered much for thee;
Come, bear thy cross with me.
5 And I have brought to thee
Down from my home above
Salvation full and free,
My pardon and my love.
Great gifts I brought for thee;
Come, bring thy gifts to me.
6 Oh, let thy life be spent,
Thy years for me be giv'n,
As I for thee was sent
To bear thee home to heav'n.
I gave my life for thee;
Come, give thy life to me. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: OLD 120TH

Hail to the Lord who comes
Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord who comes,
comes to his temple gate,
not with his angel host,
not in his kingly state:
no shouts proclaim him nigh,
no crowds his coming wait.
2 But borne upon the throne
of Mary's gentle breast,
watched by her duteous love,
in her fond arms at rest;
thus to his Father's house
he comes, the heavenly guest.
3 There Joseph at her side
in reverent wonder stands;
and, filled with holy joy,
old Simeon in his hands
takes up the promised child,
the glory of all lands.
4 Hail to the great First-born,
whose ransom-price they pay,
the Son before all worlds,
the child of man to-day,
that he might ransom us
who still in bondage lay.
5 O Light of all the earth,
thy children wait for thee:
come to thy temples here,
that we, from sin set free,
before thy Father's face
may all presented be. Topics: Atonement; Light; Mary; Other Saints and Festivals The Presentation of Christ in the Temple (Candlemas); The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany Year C; The Presentation of Christ in the Temple Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Used With Tune: OLD 120TH
