Du kyrka på den grundval byggd
Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S64 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Du kyrka på den grundval byggd,
Som evigt skall stå fast,
Du varit fädrens värn och skygd,
Du står om allting brast!
Min frjöjd och krona är du nu
Och på den hörnesten,
Som heter Jesus, hvilar du
Så trygg, så säll, så ren.
2 På denna klippa stormars hot
Och lärdomsvindars brus
Och egna tyckens stolta knot
Ej skaka kyrkans hus;
Det klippfast står i väl och ve
Uti bekännelsen
Uppbyggdt af stenar lefvande,
Af hvilka jag är en.
4 Det min, det Luthers kyrka är
Apostlarnas också.
Profeters ljus klart lyser här
Och lUar mig att förstå
Det tal om blodet, som rengör
Och genom himlens port mig för,
Som var med lagen stängd.
5 Ja, du min kyrka lär vet,
Att Jesus Vägen är
Och Sanning, Lif, Rättfärdighet –
Du klartmig äfven lär,
Att Jesus dog på korsets stam
För mina synders skull,
Och för det offer Han bar fram
Är Gud mig evigt huld.
6 Och för din tro martyrers blod
I strömmar fordom flöt,
Ack, hjalp mig, Gud, med gladligt mod
Bli stilla i ditt sköt',
Om ock med blod det tarfvas än
Af Jesu klena hjord
Att vittna för bekännelsen
Om Kristus och Hans ord.
7 Min kyrka med din tro, ditt namn
Mig vare evigt kär!
Ack, slut mig st¨ndigt i din famn
Och jämt mig vandra lär
Uppå min gode Herdes stig!
Mitt löfte, bön, begär
Är att ej skiljas ifrån dig –
Där Gud mig nåd beskär.

Inför din fotapall,

I höjden, där min Fader bor,
Där slipper jag allt tvång.

I tron jag faller ner,

Hvarom jag Herren ber?
Ja, själf han lofvat höra mig
Och så befallt mig be;
Hvad han har sagt är sannerlig
Helt visst och skall så ske.
2 Och detta är det högsta af
Guds trofasthets bevis,
Att han sin käre Son oss gaf,
Sin nåd till evigt pris.
Se, han det rätta amen är,
Kring honom stå i glans,
Likt en otalig stjärnehär,
Guds alla löftens krans!
3 Så är den grund, som bönen fårt,
Ej oviss eller svag:
Till denna enda grunden blott
Har Gud ett godt behag;
Han lofvat, att i Sonen kär
Vå bUon han anse skall.
Se, han det rätta amen är
På trones suckan all!
4 Ja, om du Herren Jesus Krist
Af hjärtat hafver kär,
Då blifver ock ditt hjärta visst

Till hvad du honom ber!

Jag sökte ro i världen, men
Author: Lina Sandell Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S65 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Jag sökte ro i världen, men
Jag fann den aldrig där.
Hur skulle jag ock finna den,
Där Jesus icke är?
Jag sökte ro, jag sökte frid
I vänners glada krets,
Men om än så förgick en tid,
Jag var dock ej till freds.
2 Jag sökte lif uti de ting,
Som ej ha lif i sig,
Men på den vida jordens ring
Det fanns ej lif för mig.
Jag sökte friden inom mig,
Men friden fanns ej där,
Och det blef natt och mörk min stig,
Och än jag sökte här.
3 När så hvar källa torkat ut,
Hvart näste brunnit ner,
Jag sökte och jag fann til slut
Den frid, som jesus ger:
Han är nu min rättfärdighet,
Mitt lif, min enda frid;
Hans eviga barmhärtighet,
Den tryggar jag mig vid.
4 I nödens och i dödens stund
Han skall ej ändra sig,
Ty evigt fast står det förbund,
Han ingått har med mig.
Förr ingenting åt mig förslog
Och ingenting var godt,
Nu har jag nog och öfvernog
Uti hans kärlek blott.

While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R37a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
in Bethleh'm's plains by night,
an angel sent from heav'n appear'd,
and fill'd the plains with light.
2 Fear not, he said, (for sudden dread
had seiz'd their troubled mind.)
glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you, and all mankind.
3 To you, in David's town, this day,
is born, of David's line,
the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:
4 the heav'nly Babe you there shall find
to human view display'd,
all meanly wrapped in swathing-bands,
and in a manger laid.
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith
appeared a shining throng
of angels, praising God, and thus
address'd their joyful song:
6 All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
good-will is shown by Heav'n to men,
and never more shall cease. Scripture: Luke 2:8-15 Languages: English Tune Title: EVANGEL
While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R66a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
2 Lo, these are they from suff'rings great,
who came to realms of light,
and in the blood of Christ have wash'd
those robes that shine so bright.
3 Now, with triumphal palms they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love, amidst
the glories of the sky.
4 His presence fills each heart with joy,
tunes ev'ry mouth to sing:
by day, by night, the sacred courts
with glad hosannas ring.
5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor sun with scorching ray:
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
6 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
7 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock,
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from every eye
shall wipe off ev'ry tear. Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ASAPH

'Tis finish'd — was his latest voice
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R44b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 3 ’Tis finish'd — was his latest voice;
these sacred accents o’er,
he bow'd his head, gave up the ghost,
and suffered pain no more.
4 ’Tis finish'd — The Messiah dies
for sins, but not his own;
the great redemption is complete,
and Satan’s pow’r o’erthrown.
5 ’Tis finish'd — All his groans are past;
his blood, his pain, and toils,
have fully vanquished our foes,
and crown'd him with their spoils.

and gospel ages run;
all old things now are past away,
and a new world begun. Scripture: John 19:30 Languages: English Tune Title: REDEMPTION

Jesus, the Son of God, was bound
That I might go forth free;
He, chafed with cruel fetters, found
Unbounded grace for me:
Around His wrists the cords of pain
Harsh, agonizing, lay:
From me in that dread hour sin's chain
Unfastened fell away.
Lord, let the bonds that bound Thee hold
Me bound in bondage pure,
Kept mid temptations manifold,
Shut from the world's allure;
That so my will, untrammelled, free,
Whiles here I dwell below,
May aye Thy ready servant be.
This boon, dear Lord, bestow!

O God, how many are my fears!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: In Melody and Songs #2 (2014) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: O God, how many are my fears!
How fast my foes increase!
Conspiring my eternal death,
they try to break my peace.
I cry, and from your holy hill
you bow a listening ear;
I call on you, my Lord and God,
and you subdue my fear.
You give soft slumbers to my eyes,
in spite of all my foes;
I wake, and wonder at the grace
which guarded my repose.
What though the hosts of death and hell,
all armed, against me stood!
Such foes shall shake my soul no more;
my refuge is in God.
Arise, O Lord! Fulfill your grace!
It moves my heart to sing!
My God will break the serpent's teeth,
and death has lost its sting.
Salvation is from you, O God;
your arm alone will save;
your blessings will attend us here
and reach beyond the grave.

A Glory Fills the Midnight Sky
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #3 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: A glory fills the midnight sky
and splendors blaze abroad,
a herald sent from God on high,
the angel of the Lord;
the shepherds tremble at his voice
and terror-struck are dumb,
but at his news let earth rejoice,
her promised King has come.
And in the East a shining star,
a portent to the wise,
will lead the Magi from afar
to where the Savior lies;
for each has come a king to see
and each his treasure brings
to where, enthroned on Mary's knee,
they find the King of kings.
This homeless child to shepherds shown,
an infant king new-born,
has come to make a cross his throne,
his crown a crown of thorn;
the Son of God to save us all,
to bear our earthly pains,
this child within the cattle-stall
as King of glory reigns! Languages: English

from foes to save us all;
that we might worship without fear
and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness
to serve God all our days.

you will prepare the way,
to tell God's people they are saved
from sin's eternal sway.
Then shall God's mercy from on high
shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death
and lead us into peace.

A Man Lay Beaten, Left for Dead

they left him lying in the road,
they left him there to die.
2 They spoke of fear, they passed him by,
they left him in his pain;
too busy or too self-absorbed
to turn and look again.
The ones who could have helped walked on,
they passed and soon forgot,
but one who knew the cost of love
knelt down and shared his lot.
3 When people challenge or deny
our rights and break us down,
when others leave us desolate
and friends just laugh or frown;
the foreigners that we reject,
the ones we would despise,
can bring the grace of God to bear,
bring love into our lives.
4 And when we see another's need
and feel another's loss,
God gives us courage and the strength,
the memory of your cross;
God give compassion, selfless care,
and strip away our pride,
then give us each the grace to love
the ones we might deride. Topics: Compassion; Courage Scripture: Luke 10:25-37 Languages: English Tune Title: BUTCHER HILL

Song of Zechariah (Blessed Be the God of Israel)
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #5 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Blessed be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel,
who comes to set us free
and raises up new hope for us:
a Branch from David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared
that with a mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies
and all who wish us harm.
2 With promised mercy will God still
the covenant recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham,
from foes to save us all,
that we might worship without fear
and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness
to serve God all our days.
3 My child, as prophet of the Lord,
you will prepare the way,
to tell God’s people they are saved
from sin’s eternal sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high
shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death
and lead us into peace. Topics: Benedictus; Christmas/Birth of Christ; Deliverance; Enemies and Persecution; Presentation of Our Lord Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

For me the road has open lain
To God's bright halls of day;
The barrier of my sin Christ's pain
For ever bore away.

The People Came from Everywhere
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Come Away with Me #7 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: The people came from everywhere
to hear the Teacher's news.
The blind, the lame, the poor were there,
encouraged by his views.
But those who brought the children near
were quickly sent away:
“The Teacher's far too busy now.
Don't bother him today.
When Jesus saw the children turn,
their faces long and glum,
he told his friends, "When will you learn
that little ones must come?"
He chided them indignantly,
"God's love can't be denied!
Let all the children come to me
and sit here at my side."
"The holy realm of God belongs
to children such as these,
who trust that God will right all wrongs,
forgive, and bring us peace.
If you would also now receive
the love that never ends,
come as a trusting child, believe
in all that God intends."
As once you took your hands and blessed
the children on their way,
now bless us, Jesus, in our quest
to find your love, we pray.
We long to feel your warm embrace,
and hear your kindly word,
that in the presence of your grace
our faith might be assured.
