Let ev'ry heart awake and sing
The holy child whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the everlasting king.
2 Behold, the world's creator wears
The form and fashion of a slave;
Our very flesh our maker shares,
His fallen creatures, all, to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of his grace.
4 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great shepherd, was revealed.Amen.
5 All glory for this blessed morn
To God the Father ever be;
All praise to You, O Virgin-born,
And Holy Ghost, eternally. Amen Topics: Christmas; The Annunciation of Our Lord; Christmas Languages: English

Low we bow in homage due;
When, repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes;
Oh, by all your pains and woe
Suffered once for us below,
Bending from your throne on high,
Hear our penitential cry!
2 By your helpless infant years,
By your life of want and tears,
By your days of deep distress
In the savage wilderness,
By the dread, mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's pow'r,
Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye;
Hear our penitential cry!
3 By your hour of dire despair,
By your agony of prayer,
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn,
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice,
Listen to our humble sigh;
Hear our penitential cry!
4 By your deep expiring groan,
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the vault whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God,
Oh, from earth to heav'n restored,
Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Bending from your throne on high,
Hear our penitential cry! Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Lent Languages: English

None ever called on you in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.

With an ever holier ray
Till we pass to perfect day:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

Guard us from the tempter's pow'r,
Keep us in that trial hour:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

Grace to live and grace to die,
Grace to reach the home on high:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

The Son of God Goes Forth to War
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #183 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war
A kingly crown to gain.
His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain;
Who patient bears his cross below -
He follows in his train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his master in the sky
And called on him to save.
Like him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for those who did the wrong -
Who follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints; their hope they knew
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their necks the death to feel -
Who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, girls and boys,
With men and women saved,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav'n
Through peril, toil, and pain.
O God, to us may grace be giv'n
To follow in their train! Topics: Lesser Festivals; Lesser Festivals; Saints' Days St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr; Christian warfare Languages: English

God's free grace and constant blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart.
They who trust with faith unshaken
By their God are not forsaken
And will keep a dauntless heart.
2 God, who hitherto has fed me
And to many joys has led me,
Is and ever shall be mine.
He who did so gently school me,
He who daily guides and rules me,
Will remain my help divine.
3 When with sorrow I am stricken,
Hope my heart anew will quicken,
All my longing shall be stilled.
To his loving-kindness tender
Soul and body I surrender,
For on God alone I build.
4 Well he knows what best to grant me;
All the longing hopes that haunt me,
Joy and sorrow, have their day.
I shall doubt his wisdom never;
As God wills, so be it ever;
To him I commit my way.
5 If on earth my days he lengthen,
God my weary soul will strengthen;
All my trust in him I place.
Earthly wealth is not abiding;
Like a stream away it's gliding;
Safe I anchor in his grace. Topics: Trust, Guidance; Pentecost 18 (Year B); Trust, Guidance Languages: English

One There Is, above All Others
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #298 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Tune Title: AMEN SJUNGE HVARJE TUNGA Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Savior died to have us
Reconciled in him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is the friend we need.
3 When he lived on earth, they scorned him;
"Friend of sinners" was his name.
Though the angels have adored him,
Still he answers to that claim;
Still he calls them dearest friends
And to all their needs attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas! forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But, when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought. Topics: Justification; Easter 6; Justification; Love Languages: English
