When I survey the wondrous cross
When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics:
1 When love is found
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flowered
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through listening ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong,
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts,
let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage; Home and Family; Love; Reconciliation; Weddings Used With Tune: GIFT OF LOVE
When Love Is Found
Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire
Author: Hal H. Hopson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Though I may speak with bravest fire,
And have the gift to all inspire,
And have not love, my words are vain;
As sounding brass, and hopeless gain.
2. Though I may give all I possess,
And striving so my love profess,
But not be giv'n by love within,
The profit soon turns strangely thin.
Come Spirit, come, our hearts control.
Our spirits long to be made whole,
Let inward love guide ev'ry deed;
By this we worship, and are freed. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1 Used With Tune: GIFT OF LOVE
Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire

'Tis winter now; the fallen snow
Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis winter now; the fallen snow
has left the heavens all coldly clear;
through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow,
and all the earth lies dead and drear.
2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn;
his life within the keen air breathes;
his beauty paints the crimson dawn,
and clothes each branch with glittering wreaths.
3 And though abroad the sharp winds blow,
and skies are chill, and frosts are keen,
home closer draws her circle now,
and warmer glows her light within.
4 O God, you give the winter's cold,
as well as summer's joyous rays,
you warmly in your love enfold,
and keep us through life's wintry days. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Providence; Winter Scripture: Exodus 21:5 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow
in faith and love and every grace;
might more of His salvation know,
and seek more earnestly His face.
2 'Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
and He, I trust, has answered prayer,
but it has been in such a way
as almost drove me to despair.
3 I hoped that in some favored hour
at once He's answer my request,
and by His love's constraining pow'r
subdue my sins and give me rest.
4 Instead of this He made me feel
the hidden evils of my heart,
and let the angry pow'rs of hell
assault my soul in every part.
5 Yea more, with His own hand He seemed
intent to aggravate me woe,
crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
humbled my heart, and laid me low.
6 "Lord, why is this?" I trembling cried,
"Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?"
"'Tis in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith.
7 "These inward trials I employ
from self and pride to set thee free,
and break thy schemes of earthly joy
that thou may'st find Thy all in Me." Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

On these baptismal waters shine,
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb, for sinners slain.
2 We love Thy name, we love Thy laws,
And joyfully embrace Thy cause;
We love Thy cross, the shame, the pain,
O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
3 We sink beneath Thy mystic flood;
O bathe us in Thy cleansing blood;
We die to sin, and seek a grave,
With Thee, beneath the yielding wave.
4 And as we rise, with Thee to live,
O let the Holy Spirit give
The sealing unction from above,
The breath of life, the fire of love. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Baptism; Liturgical Index Baptism Scripture: Matthew 3:16 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

from sin and harm its whole life through?

Tomorrow's promise can be glimpsed
within this infant's tiny face.

a task that only has begun.
A sacred charge lies in our arms
to cradle faith and pass it on.

We praise you, Jesus, Son of love.
And to the Spirit, Holy One,
we sing our praise. Amen. Amen. Topics: Child Dedication Scripture: Colossians 3:21 Used With Tune: GIFT OF LOVE
