With joy we meditate the grace

Author: William Jones, 1726-1800 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #565 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace of our High Priest above; his heart is made of tenderness, and ever yearns with love. 2 Touched with a sympathy within, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations mean for he has felt the same. 3 He in the days of feeble flesh poured out his cries and tears; and, in his measure, feels afresh what every member bears. 4 He'll never quench the smoking flax, but raise it to a flame; the bruisèd reed he never breaks, nor scorns the meanest name. 5 Then let our humble faith address his mercy and his power: we shall obtain delivering grace in every needful hour.

The King shall come when morning dawns

Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #54 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns and light triumphant breaks, when beauty gilds the eastern hills and life to joy awakes. 2 Not, as of old, a little child, to bear, and fight, and die, but crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky. 3 O brighter than the rising morn when he, victorious, rose and left the lonesome place of death, despite the rage of foes. 4 O brighter than that glorious morn shall this fair morning be, when Christ, our King, in beauty comes, and we his face shall see! 5 The King shall come when morning dawns and light and beauty brings. Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray: come quickly, King of kings. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

The Lord will come and not be slow

Author: John Milton, 1608-1674 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #55 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow, his footsteps cannot err; before him righteousness shall go, his royal harbinger. 2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower, shall bud and blossom then; and justice, from her heavenly bower, look down on mortal men. 3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might, this wicked earth redress; for thou art he who shalt by right the nations all possess. 4 The nations all whom thou hast made shall come, and all shall frame to bow them low before thee, Lord, and glorify thy name. 5 For great thou art, and wonders great by thy strong hand are done: thou in thy everlasting seat remainest God alone.

Fountain of good, to own Thy love

Author: P. Doddridge; E. Osler Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #269 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own Thy love Our thankful hearts incline; What can we render, Lord, to Thee, When all the worlds are Thine? 2 But Thou hast needy brethren here, Partakers of Thy grace, Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess Before the Father's face. 3 In each sad accent of distress Thy pleading voice is heard; In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed And visited and cheered. 4 Help us then, Lord, Thy yoke to wear, And joy to do Thy will; Each other's burdens gladly bear, And love's sweet law fulfill. 5 Thy face with reverence and with love We in Thy poor would see; And while we minister to them, Would do it as to Thee. 6 Do Thou, O Lord, our alms accept, And with Thy blessing speed; Bless us in giving; greatly bless Our gifts to them that need. Amen. Topics: Almsgiving; Almsgiving and Charities; Love to Man; Sympathy Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN

In token that thou shalt not fear

Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #638 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In token that thou shalt not fear Christ crucified to own, we print the cross upon thee here, and stamp thee his alone. 2 In token that thou shalt not blush to glory in his name, we blazon here upon thy front his glory and his shame. 3 In token that thou shalt not flinch Christ's quarrel to maintain, but 'neath His banner manfully firm at thy post remain; 4 in token that thou too shalt tread the path he travelled by, endure the cross, despise the shame, and sit thee down on high; 5 thus outwardly and visibly we seal thee for his own: and may the brow that wears his cross hereafter share his crown.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E31 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works His sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His works in vain: God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Oh, for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E32 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet Messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 3 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 4 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

O happy is the man who hears

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R11 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears instruction’s warning voice; and who celestial Wisdom makes his early, only choice. 2 For she has treasures greater far than east or west unfold; and her rewards more precious are than all their stores of gold. 3 In her right hand she holds to view a length of happy days; riches, with splendid honours join'd, are what her left displays. 4 She guides the young with innocence, in pleasure’s paths to tread, a crown of glory she bestows upon the hoary head. 5 According as her labours rise, so her rewards increase; her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Behold th' amazing gift of love

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R63 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold th’ amazing gift of love the Father hath bestow'd on us, the sinful sons of men, to call us sons of God! 2 Conceal'd as yet this honour lies, by this dark world unknown, a world that knew not when he came, ev’n God’s eternal Son 3 High is the rank we now possess; but higher we shall rise; though what we shall hereafter be is hid from mortal eyes: 4 Our souls, we know, when he appears, shall bear his image bright; for all his glory, full disclos'd, shall open to our sight. 5 A hope so great, and so divine, may trials well endure; and purge the soul from sense and sin, as Christ himself is pure.
