This is my Father's world
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901; Mary Babcock Crawford, b. 1909 Hymnal: EH1982 #651 (1985) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Person Name: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
his hands the wonders wrought.
2 This is our Father's world,
oh, let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong,
God is our Father yet.
He trusts us with his world,
to keep it clean and fair,
all earth and trees, all skies and seas,
all creatures everywhere. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: MERCER STREET

Wilt thou forgive that sin, where I begun
Author: John Donne, 1573-1631 Hymnal: EH1982 #141 (1985) Meter: 10.10.10.10.8.4 Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1. Wilt thou forgive that sin, where I begun,
which is my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt thou forgive those sins through which I run,
and do run still, though still I do deplore?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
for I have more.
2. Wilt thou forgive that sin, by which I won
others to sin, and made my sin their door?
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun
a year or two, but wallowed in a score?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
for I have more.
3. I have a sin of fear that when I've spun
my last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son
shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore.
And having done that, thou hast done,
I fear no more. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SO GIEBST DU NUN

At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: EH1982 #174 (1985) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1. At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who hath washed us in the tide
flowing from his pierced 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 on high,
hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie;
thou hast conquered in the fight,
thou hast brought us life and light:
now no more can death appall,
now no more the grave enthrall;
thou hast opened paradise,
and in thee thy saints shall rise.
4. Easter triumph, Easter joy,
these alone do sin destroy.
From sin's power do thou set free
souls newborn, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise:
risen Lord, all praise to thee
with the Spirit ever be. Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-1887 Hymnal: EH1982 #186 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1. Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
for our offenses given;
but now at God’s right hand he stands
and brings us life from heaven;
therefore let us joyful be,
and sing to God right thankfully
loud songs of alleluia!
Alleluia!
2. It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended;
the victory remained with life,
the reign of death was ended;
stripped of power, no more he reigns,
an empty form alone remains;
his sting is lost forever!
Alleluia!
3. So let us keep the festival
to which the Lord invites us;
Christ is himself the joy of all,
the sun that warms and lights us;
by his grace he doth impart
eternal sunshine to the heart;
the night of sin is ended!
Alleluia!
4. Then let us feast this holy day
on the true bread of heaven;
the word of grace hath purged away
the old and wicked leaven;
Christ alone our souls will feed,
he is our meat and drink indeed;
faith lives upon no other!
Alleluia!

2. See the rivers four that gladden,
with their streams, the better Eden
planted by our Lord most dear;
Christ the fountain, these the waters;
drink, O Zion's sons and daughters,
drink, and find salvation here.

and thy holy word possessing,
Jesus may thy love adore;
unto thee our voices raising,
thee with all thy ransomed praising,
ever and for evermore. Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Evangelists Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

O Food to pilgrims given
Author: John Athelstan Lurie Riley, 1858-1945 Hymnal: EH1982 #309 (1985) Meter: 7.7.6 D Person Name: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 Lyrics: 1. O Food to pilgrims given,
O Bread of life from heaven,
O Manna from on high!
We hunger; Lord, supply us,
nor thy delights deny us,
whose hearts to thee draw nigh.
2. O stream of love past telling,
O purest fountain, welling
from out the Savior's side!
We faint with thirst; revive us,
of thine abundance give us,
and all we need provide.
3. O Jesus, by thee bidden,
we here adore thee, hidden
in forms of bread and wine.
Grant when the veil is riven,
we may behold, in heaven,
thy countenance divine.
