Christ Is Alive!
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
His cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift, and war,
where color, scorn or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hpe has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love and praise.

Lift up our hearts, O King of kings
Author: Rev. John Howard Masterman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up our hearts, O King of kings,
To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,

Of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.

The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth's sin and strife,
And lift us to a holier life.

Go, Labor On; Spend, and Be Spent
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 448 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend, and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will:
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught;
Thy earthly loss is heav'nly gain:
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises: what are men?
3 Go, labor on while it is day:
The world's dark night is hast'ning on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
4 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray,
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wand'rer to come in.

to see the approaching sacrifice.

Your last and fiercest strife is nigh.
The Father on his sapphire throne
awaits his own anointed Son.

then take, O Christ, your power and reign. Topics: Jesus Christ Majesty Scripture: Mark 11:8-10 Used With Tune: TRURO

New every morning is the love
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove,
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray, --
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If, on our daily course, our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask, --
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love,
for perfect life with you above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; God in daily living; Prayer Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:31 Used With Tune: TRURO
New every morning is the love
Father in Heaven, Who Lovest All
Author: Rudyard Kipling Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father in Heaven, who lovest all,
O help Thy children when they call,
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
2. Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,
With steadfastness and careful truth,
That, in our time, Thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
3. Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day,
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
4. Teach us to look in all our ends,
On Thee for Judge, and not our friends,
That we, with Thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favor of the crowd.
5. Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak,
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man’s strength to comfort man’s distress.
6. Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs,
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men ’neath the sun. Used With Tune: TRURO Text Sources: Puck of Pook's Hill, 1906

Jesus, Thou Everlasting King
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 176 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thou everlasting king,
Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept the well deserved renown,
And wear our praises as Thy crown.
2. Daughters of Zion, come, behold
The crown of honor and of gold
Which the glad church, with joys unknown,
Placed on the head of Solomon.
3. Let every act of worship be
Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee;
Like the dear hour when from above,
We first received Thy pledge of love.
4. The gladness of that happy day,
Our hearts would wish it long to stay;
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.
5. Each following minute, as it flies,
Increase Thy praise, improve our joys,
Till we are raised to sing Thy name,
At the great supper of the Lamb.
6. O that the months would roll away,
And bring that coronation day!
The King of Grace shall fill the throne,
With all His Father’s glories on. Used With Tune: TRURO Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Songs, 1707
