Great God, We Sing That Mighty Hand
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Your mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it close.
2 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Your guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Your feet.
3 In scenes exalted or depressed,
You are our joy, and You our rest;
Your goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

The Church of Christ in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age,
Beset by change but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
And keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
The victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
And never live until they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
A caring church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
And clothed in Christ's humanity.
4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed,
Can cure the fever in our blood,
And teach us how to share our bread
And feed the starving multitude.
5 We have no mission but to serve
In full obedience to our Lord:
To care for all, without reserve,
And spread his liberating word. Used With Tune: WAREHAM

And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
Let faith her eager fires renew,
And hate the false, and love the true.

With thoughts as clear as morning's ray,
With faith like noon-tide shining bright,
Our souls unshadowed by the night.

Let Him, our perfect morn, arise;
The Father's help his children claim,
And sing the Father's glorious name.

O Love of God, How Strong and True
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true,
eternal and yet ever new,
uncomprehended and unbought,
beyond all knowledge and all thought.
2 O heavenly love, how precious still
in days of weariness and ill,
in nights of pain and helplessness,
to heal, to comfort, and to bless.
3 O wide-embracing, wondrous love!
we read you in the sky above;
we read you in the earth below,
in seas that swell and streams that flow.
4 We read you in the flowers, the trees,
the freshness of the fragrant breeze,
the song of birds upon the wing,
the joy of summer and of spring.
5 We read you best in him who came
to bear for us the cross of shame,
sent by the Father from on high,
our life to live, our death to die.
6 We read your power to bless and save
e'en in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection light
we read the fullness of your might.
7 O love of God, our shield and stay
through all the perils of our way;
eternal love, in you we rest,
forever safe, forever blest.

Jesus, where'er thy people meet
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.

nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear:
O rend the heavens, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts thine own! Topics: Church nature of; Jesus Name; Prayer; Proper 12 Year C; Proper 18 Year A; The Fourth Sunday before Lent Year A; The Third Sunday of Lent Year A Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Used With Tune: WAREHAM

the gift of life to all who live,
look down on all earth’s sin and strife
and lift us to a nobler life.

to brighter hopes and kindlier things,
to visions of a larger good,

of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
of tarnished honour, falsely strong,
and all its ancient deeds of wrong.

uprising from all lands today,

With light and comfort from above;

That we may know and choose Thy way:
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from Thee may ne'er depart.

Nor let us from His pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.

Fulness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to God our final rest,
To be with Him for ever blest.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great; Maurice F. Bell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
we celebrate with songs of praise,
for Christ, by whom all things were made,
himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
the loving God who gave the law.
And to Elijah, fasting, came
the steed and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
delivered from the lion’s might.
And John, the Savior’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.
4 Then grant, O God, that we may, too,
return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
and give us joy to see your face. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Heritage Before 1500; John the Baptist; Lent Scripture: 2 Kings 2:11 Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Clarum decus jejunii, 11th c.; trans. Maurice F. Bell (England), The English Hymnal, 1906, alt.
