Praise we the Lord this day
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord this day,
this day so long foretold,
whose promise shone with cheering ray
on waiting saints of old.
2 The prophet gave the sign
for faithful hearts to read:
a virgin born of David's line,
shall bear the promised seed.
3 Ask not how this should be,
but worship and adore,
like her whom heaven's Majesty
came down to shadow o'er.
4 She meekly bowed her head
to hear the gracious word,
Mary, the pure and lowly maid,
the favoured of the Lord.
5 Most blest shall be her name
in all the church on earth,
through whom that wondrous mercy came,
the incarnate Saviour's birth. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Annunciation Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Used With Tune: ST GEORGE (GAUNTLETT) Text Sources: Hymns for the Festivals, Oxford, 1846, alt.

Commit thou all thy griefs
Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Appears in 245 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who earth and heaven commands.
2 Who points the clouds their course,
Whom winds and seas obey,
He shall direct thy wandering feet,
He shall prepare thy way.
3 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
4 No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause, His ear
Attends the softest prayer.
5 Thy everlasting truth,
Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows
What best for each will prove. Topics: Afflictions Comfort in; Anxious Care; Cares Anxious; The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; God Care of; Providence Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
Commit thou all thy griefs
How welcome was the call

How welcome was the call
We give thee but thine own
Author: William Walsham How, 1823 - 97 Appears in 482 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold. A-men.
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christlike thing.
6 And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - The Day's Work; The Life In Christ Service Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE (ST. OLAVE)

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; James Russell Woodford, 1820-1885 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 God from on high hath heard!
Let sighs and sorrows cease!
Lo! from the opening heaven descends
to man the promised peace.
2 Hark! through the silent night
angelic voices swell;
their joyful songs proclaim that God
is born on earth to dwell.
3 See how the shepherd-band
speed on with eager feet;
come to the hallowed cave with them
the holy Babe to greet.
4 But O what sight appears
within that lowly door!
A manger, stall, and swaddling clothes,
a child and mother poor!
5 Art thou the Christ? The Son?
The Father’s image bright?
And see we him whose arm upholds
earth and the starry height?
6 Yea, faith can pierce the cloud
which veils thy glory now;
we hail Thee God, before whose throne
the angels prostrate bow.
7 Our sinful pride to cure
with that pure love of thine,
O be thou born within our hearts,
most holy Child divine. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: ST GEORGE (GAUNTLETT)

and Son of God most high,
the Father of the world to come,

2 Deep in his heart for us
the wound of love he bore,
that love which he enkindles still
in hearts that him adore.
3 O Jesu, Victim blest,
what else but love divine
could thee constrain to open thus
that sacred heart of thine?
4 O wondrous fount of love,
O well of water free,
O heavenly flame, refining fire,
O burning charity!
5 Hide us in thy dear heart,
Jesu, our Saviour blest,
so shall we find thy plenteous grace,
and heaven's eternal rest. Topics: General Hymns God the Son Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Used With Tune: ST GEORGE (GAUNTLETT) Text Sources: 18th century, Latin; Based on Cahtolicum Hymnologicum Germanicum, 1587; Other translators: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern
To Christ, the Prince of Peace
Ye servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 454 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics:
Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in your office, wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight,
For awful is his Name.
Watch! 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
O happy servant he
In such a posture found;
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crowned.
