Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #32 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure: Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid: Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Thorn-crowned and scourged still the sacrificed Lamb, Lifting His brow, says: "A King yet I am." 3 Show me the cross where He patiently died, There in its shadow myself will I hide, There will I bide His victorious word, Hear him exclaim "It is finished", my Lord There will I praise for His mercy and grace; Suffering and dying He stood in my place.

My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #40 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained, Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou sufferest alone. 2 Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain and despair; In thirty years' anguish our path Thou has trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God. 3 For me Thou hast labored salvation to win, For me tasted death to atone for my sin; Neglected, forsaken, but mindful of me, Thou prayest for those who have crucified Thee. 4 Thou consecrate Victim, my Passover slain, The gall and the wormwood for me Thou dost drain, That I might be blessed Thou sufferest all woe, And diest at last on me life to bestow. 5 Our Saviour thus finished God's plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace, And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored. 6 Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor burdened sinners, rejoice in His love. 7 What is, then, to be reconciled unto God? It is that He silenced the curse by His blood; And what the relation to which we're restored? The right to be counted the friends of the Lord. 8 So come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and might to save.

Glory be to Jesus

To realms of glory I behold

But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that blest abode-- The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure and my heart Safe in my Saviour's keeping: In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.

Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 Now our heavenly Aaron enters With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan. And the kings before Him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 4 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand: Jesus reigns adored by angels: Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #200 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult Of our life's wild restless sea Day by day his voice is sounding, Saying, 'Christian follow me': 2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, 'Christian, love me more'. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these'. 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thy obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW
