A great and mighty wonder
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; St. Germanus, c.634 - 734 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #18 (1958) Lyrics: 1 A great and might wonder
This joyful feast-day brings;
The Virgin bears the Infant,
Our Lord, and King of Kings.
2 The Word becomes incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant
Repeat the hymn again,
'To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!'
4 While thus they sing your Monarch
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!
5 Since all he comes to ransom,
By all be he adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Saviour and the Lord!
6 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His sceptre,
Our Lord and God for aye. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE

A hymn of glory let us sing
Author: Elizabeth Rundle Charles, 1820 - 96; The Venerable Bede; Benjamin Webb, 1820 - 85 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #110 (1958) Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing,
New hymns throughout the world shall ring;
By a new way none ever trod
Christ mounteth to the throne of God,
Christ mounteth to the throne of God.
2 May our affections thither tend,
And thither constantly ascend,
Where, seated on the Father's throne,
Thee, reigning in the heavens, we own!
Thee, reigning in the heavens, we own! A-men.
3 Be thou our present joy, O Lord,
Who wilt be ever our reward;
So shall the light that springs from thee
Be ours through all eternity.
4 O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to thee let earth accord,
Who art, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit, One.
Amen.

A hymn of glory let us sing
A mighty fortress is our God
Author: Frederick H. Hedge, 1805 - 90; Martin Luther, 1483 - 1546 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #150 (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his Name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thru Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever. Topics: The Church The People of God; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

Arise, O soul, come and draw near
To hallow and revere
The day the Lord thy God doth make,
And of the bread of life partake.
2 I come, dear Jesus, at thy word,
A guest unworthy to thy board,
My Saviour and my Lord.
O clothe me with thy righteousness,
My soul with thy salvation bless! A-men.
3 O Lord, who my Redeemer art,
Come thou and purify my heart.
From thee I'll ne'er depart,
But wheresoe'er thou leadest me
In constant faith I'll follow thee.

A voice, a heavenly voice I hear!
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #576 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. A-men.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me!
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Nor let thy mercy cease;
From Satan's might defend us,
And grant our souls release.

Sustain us by thy word;
That we with all thy people
To life may be restored. A-men.
3 Abide with us, our Saviour,

According to thy gracious word
Author: James Montgomery, 1771 - 1854 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #266 (1958) Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.
2 Thy Body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget,
Or there thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember thee? A-men.
4 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I must remember thee!
5 Remember thee, and all thy pains,
And all thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.
Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE (FRENCH)
According to thy gracious word
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; Johann Heermann, 1585 - 1647 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #85 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended,
That man to judge thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee.
’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee:
I crucified thee. A-men.
3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;
The slave hath sinnèd, and the Son hath suffered;
For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth,
God intercedeth.
4 For me, kind Jesus, was thine Incarnation,
Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation;
Thy death of anguish, and thy bitter Passion,
For my salvation.
5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee,
I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee,
Think on thy pity and thy love unswerving,
Not my deserving.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #486 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred Head
For sinners such as I?
2 Was it for sin that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear Cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.

And give thee thanks for ever,

And wise, and changes never;

Thou dost whate'er thy will ordains:
'Tis well thou art our Ruler!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
Who hast our fallen race restored
And straying sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need, and hear our cry:
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Spirit, precious Gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
Do thou our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing;
Since Christ for us his Blood hath shed,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
We trust in thee to help us!
Amen.

When unto earth, in glorious ray,
Descends the grace of heaven!

Our sorrows share, and be our aid,
Through his eternal power,
The love of God on us bestow,
And mingle in our cup of woe
The drops of mercy’s shower;
Dearly buying through his passion
Our salvation,
And to mortals
Opening the heavenly portals.

And by his glory heaven is rent
To close upon us never;

Whom we may follow faithfully
To live with him forever,
Unto realms of glory winging,
Praises singing
To the Father
And the Son, and Spirit, ever.

Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed; all you need

Kneel in awe and wonder,
Love him who with love is yearning;
Hail the star that from far
Bright with hope is burning.
