Abba, Father, let me be
Be thou my guardian and my guide
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday Before Advent Year C Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide,
and hear me when I call;
let not my slippery footsteps slide,
and hold me lest I fall.
2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
around the path I tread;
O save me from the snares of hell,
thou quickener of the dead.
3 And if I tempted am to sin,
and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,
and save my soul from wrong.
4 Still let me ever watch and pray,
and feel that I am frail;
that if the tempter cross my way,
yet he may not prevail. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Be thou my guardian and my guide
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
Author: Edward Osler Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill,
And do on earth our Father's will,
As angels do above:
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love,
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy Name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase.
Thy gracious help supply:
To each of us the blessing give,
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Used With Tune: ARIEL

O very God of very God
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Advent; Advent, First Sunday; Lent, Third Sunday; Tenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
And very Light of Light,
Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod,
That so it might be bright:
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Thick darkness binds our eyes;
Cold is the night, and oh, we long
That Thou, our Sun, wouldst rise!
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
The east is brightening fast,
And kindling to the perfect Day
That never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path be done,
And we have reached the shore
Where Thou, our everlasting Sun,
Art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
To where the daylight springs,
Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
With healing on Thy wings.
6 To God the Father, power and might
Both now and ever be;
To Him that is the Light of Light,
And, Holy Ghost, to Thee. Used With Tune: ATHENS
O very God of very God
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6 Appears in 843 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing;
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains,
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: AURELIA
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 2,202 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it from Thy courts above. Used With Tune: BATTY
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Eternal rest belongs;
And heavenly choirs around Thy throne
Pour forth their endless songs.
2 But we--ah, holy now no more!
Are doomed to toil and pain;
Yet exiles on an alien shore
May sing their country’s strain.
3 Father, whose promise binds Thee still
To heal the suppliant throng,
Grant us to mourn the deeds of ill
That banish us so long!
4 And while we mourn, in faith to rest
Upon Thy Love and care;
Till Thou restore us, with the blest,
The song of heaven to share!
Used With Tune: BELMONT
Maker of earth, to Thee alone
Waken, O sleeper, wake and rise
Author: Michael Forster, b. 1946 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Year A Third Sunday Before Advent Scripture: Ephesians 5:8 Used With Tune: BILLING
Waken, O sleeper, wake and rise
We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: The Third Sunday before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let men deride,
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away:
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL
We sing the praise of him who died
