When in Our Music God Is Glorified
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17 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 every 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 every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always,
"Alleluia!"

And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heav’n.

Come Down, O Love Divine!
Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Appears in 109 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:14 First Line: Come down, O Love divine Lyrics: 1 Come down, O love divine! Seek out this soul of mine
and visit it with your own ardor glowing:
O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight,
and make my pathway clear, by your illuming.
3 Let holy charity my outward vesture be,
and lowliness become my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart which takes the humbler part,
and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong with which the soul will long
shall far surpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace till we become the place
in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Author: John Fawcett, 1740-1817 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,272 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 3:14 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and joy shall reign
Through all eternity. Topics: Brotherhood and World Peace Used With Tune: DENNIS
