Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In the Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill:
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
Present in thy holy Word;
Grace to imitate thee now
And be pure, as pure art thou;
That we might become like thee
At thy great epiphany,
And may praise thee, ever blest,
God in flesh made manifest. Used With Tune: SALZBURG

I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand
upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand."
3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,
the rivers of woe shall not over you flow;
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
delivering you from your deepest distress."

my grace all-sufficient shall be your supply;
the flame shall not hurt you; for I have designed
your soul to make pure just as gold is refined."

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!" Scripture: Hebrews 13:5 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: "K" in John Rippon's Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt.

The God of Abraham praise
Author: Thomas Olivers, 1725-1799 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 458 hymnals Topics: Year C Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise
who reigns enthroned above,
Ancient of everlasting Days,
and God of love:
Jehovah, great I AM,
by earth and heav'n confessed;
we bow and bless the sacred name,
for ever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise,
at whose supreme command
from earth we rise, and seek the joys
at his right hand:
we all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and pow'r;
and him our only portion make,
our shield and tow'r.
3 The God of Abraham praise,
whose all-sufficient grace
shall guide us all our happy days,
in all our ways:
he is our faithful friend;
he is our gracious God;
and he will save us to the end,
through Jesus' blood.
4 He by himself has sworn -
we on his oath depend -
we shall, on eagles' wings upborne,
to heav'n ascend:
we shall behold his face,
we shall his pow'r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace
for evermore.
5 The whole triumphant host
give thanks to God on high;
'Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!'
they ever cry:
Hail, Abraham's God and ours!
We join the heav'nly throng,
and celebrate with all our pow'rs
in endless song.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Hebrew "Yigdal"

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

praise to our victorious King,
who hath washed us in the tide
flowing from his piercèd side;
praise we him, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the paschal blood is poured,
death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
paschal victim, paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from above,
conqu'ring by the pow'r of love;
thou hast triumphed in the fight,
thou hast brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appal,
now no more the grave enthral:
thou hast opened paradise,
and in thee thy saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
nothing now can this destroy;
from sin's pow'r do thou set free
souls new-born, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory and of praise,
risen Lord, to thee we raise;
holy Father, praise to thee,
with the Spirit, ever be. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: 7th century

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 207 hymnals Topics: Year C Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by thee, we covet most
of thy gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heav'nly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long,
love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
love than death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
hope be emptied in delight;
love in heav'n will shine more bright;
therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three,
and the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
of thy gold and silver wing
shed on us, who to thee sing,
holy, heav'nly love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: CHARITY
Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
