Creator of the starry height
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #25b (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the starry height,
thy people's everlasting light,
Jesu, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst come to save our fallen race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.
3 When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst, in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a virgin-mother's womb.
*4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.
5 To thee, O Holy One, we pray,
our judge in that tremendous day,
ward off, while yet we dwell below,
the weapons of our crafty foe.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Advent Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #168 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends
your majesty, whose splendour stuns
all waking souls; whose light transcends
the brightness of a thousand suns!
2 You stand with Moses on the hill,
you speak of your new exodus.
The way through death, you will fulfil
by dying helpless on the cross.
3 You stand here with Elijah too,
by whom the still small voice was heard:
and you, yourself, will prove God true,
made mute in death, incarnate Word.
4 If we could bear your brightness here
and stay for ever in your light,
then we would conquer grief and fear,
and scorn the terrors of the night.
5 But, from the heights, you bring us down,
to share earth's agonies with you,
where piercing thorns are made your crown
and death, accepted, proves love true.
6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son,
if we must share your grief and loss,
transfigure us, when all is done,
with glory shining from your cross. Topics: Transfiguration Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

He Sat to Watch O'er Customs Paid
Author: William Bright Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #265 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o'er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hard'ning trade;
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign masters' hated rule.
2 But grace within his heart had stirred;
there needed but the timely word;
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, "Follow me!"
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;
he rose, responsive to the call
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! with these to part,
and lay up treasures in the heart;
let them of Matthew's wealth partake,
who yield up all for Jesus' sake.

Our Lord is risen from the dead
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #336 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead;
Our Jesus is gone up on high!
A captive host be joyful led
To the bright portals of the sky.
2 There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way."
3 Loose all your bars of golden light,
And wide unfold the beauteous scene;
He claims these mansions as his right,
Receive the King of glory in.
4 Who is the King of glory? Who?
The Lord, that all our foes o'ercame;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way."
6 Who is this King of glory? Who?
The Lord, of glorious power possessed;
The King of saints and angels too;
God over all, forever blest. Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Tune Title: BROCKHAM

I know that my Redeemer lives
Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #337 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives
What joy the blest assurance gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead:
He lives, my everlasting Head!
2 He lives to bless me with his love,
He lives to plead for me above,
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
3 He lives, and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives my mansion to prepare,
He lives to bring me safely there.
4 He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Saviour, still the same;
What joy the blest assurance gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives! Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Tune Title: BROCKHAM

The morning kindles all the sky
Author: Ambrosian Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #338 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The morning kindles all the sky,
The heavens resound with anthems high
The shining angels, as they speed,
Proclaim, "The Lord is risen indeed!"
2 Vainly with rocks his tomb was barred,
While Roman warriors stood on guard.
Majestic from the spoiled tomb
In pomp of triumph, he has come!
3 When the amazed disciples heard,
Their hearts with speechless joy were stirred;
Their Lord's beloved face to see,
Eager they haste to Galilee.
4 His pierced hands to them he shows,
His face with love's own radiance glows;
They with the angels' message speed,
And shout, "The Lord is risen indeed!"
5 O Christ, thou King compassionate!
Our hearts possess, on thee we wait;
Help us to render praises due,
To thee the endless ages through! Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Tune Title: BROCKHAM

How glorious is the life above
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #591 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How glorious is the life above,
which in this ordinance we taste;
that fullness of celestial love,
that joy which shall for ever last.
2 That heavenly life in Christ concealed
these earthen vessels could not bear;
the part which now we find revealed
no tongue of angels can declare.
3 The light of life eternal darts
into our souls a dazzling ray;
a drop of heaven o’erflows our hearts,
and deluges the house of clay.
4 Sure pledge of ecstasies unknown
shall this divine Communion be:
the ray shall rise into a sun,
the drop shall swell into a sea. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

Upon thy table, Lord, we place
Author: Maurice Frank Campbell Willson, 1884-1944 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #629 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Upon thy table, Lord, we place
these symbols of our work and thine,
life's food won only by thy grace,
who giv'st to all the bread and wine.
2 Within these simple things there lie
the height and depth of human life,
the thought of man, his tears and toils,
his hopes and fears, his joy and strife.
3 Accept them, Lord; from thee they come;
we take them humbly at thy hand.
These gifts of thine for higher use
we offer, as thou dost command. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

Lord, if Thou Dost Not Soon Appear
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3792 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord, if Thou dost not soon appear,
Virtue and truth will fly away;
A faithful man amongst us here
Will scarce be found, if Thou delay.
2. The whole discourse, when neighbors meet,
Is filled with trifles loose and vain;
Their lips are flattery and deceit,
And their proud language is profane.
3. But lips that with deceit abound
Shall not maintain their triumph long;
The God of vengeance will confound
The flattering and blaspheming tongue.
4. Yet shall our words be free, they cry;
Our tongues shall be controlled by none:
Where is the Lord will ask us why?
Or say our lips are not our own?
5. The Lord, who sees the poor oppressed,
And hears th’oppressor’s haughty strain,
Will rise to give His children rest,
Nor shall they trust His Word in vain.
6. Thy Word, O Lord, though often tried,
Void of deceit shall still appear;
Not silver, seven times purified,
From dross, and mixture, shines so clear.
7. Thy grace shall in the darkest hour
Defend the holy soul from harm;
Though when the vilest men have power,
On every side will sinners swarm. Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM
