With joy we meditate the grace
Author: William Jones, 1726-1800 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #565 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
of our High Priest above;
his heart is made of tenderness,
and ever yearns with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
he knows our feeble frame;
he knows what sore temptations mean
for he has felt the same.
3 He in the days of feeble flesh
poured out his cries and tears;
and, in his measure, feels afresh
what every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
but raise it to a flame;
the bruisèd reed he never breaks,
nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
his mercy and his power:
we shall obtain delivering grace
in every needful hour. Topics: General Hymns The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

The King shall come when morning dawns
Author: John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #54 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light triumphant breaks,
when beauty gilds the eastern hills
and life to joy awakes.
2 Not, as of old, a little child,
to bear, and fight, and die,
but crowned with glory like the sun
that lights the morning sky.
3 O brighter than the rising morn
when he, victorious, rose
and left the lonesome place of death,
despite the rage of foes.
4 O brighter than that glorious morn
shall this fair morning be,
when Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
and we his face shall see!
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray:
come quickly, King of kings. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

the nations all possess.

remainest God alone. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Scripture: Psalm 82:3 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

Fountain of good, to own Thy love
Author: P. Doddridge; E. Osler Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #269 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own Thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord, to Thee,
When all the worlds are Thine?
2 But Thou hast needy brethren here,
Partakers of Thy grace,
Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess
Before the Father's face.
3 In each sad accent of distress
Thy pleading voice is heard;
In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed
And visited and cheered.
4 Help us then, Lord, Thy yoke to wear,
And joy to do Thy will;
Each other's burdens gladly bear,
And love's sweet law fulfill.
5 Thy face with reverence and with love
We in Thy poor would see;
And while we minister to them,
Would do it as to Thee.
6 Do Thou, O Lord, our alms accept,
And with Thy blessing speed;
Bless us in giving; greatly bless
Our gifts to them that need.
Amen.

to glory in his name,
we blazon here upon thy front
his glory and his shame.
3 In token that thou shalt not flinch
Christ's quarrel to maintain,
but 'neath His banner manfully
firm at thy post remain;
4 in token that thou too shalt tread
the path he travelled by,
endure the cross, despise the shame,
and sit thee down on high;

we seal thee for his own:
and may the brow that wears his cross
hereafter share his crown. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Holy Baptism Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E31 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform:
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour:
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His works in vain:
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Topics: Care and Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN

Oh, for a Closer Walk with God
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E32 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet Messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.
3 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
4 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

O happy is the man who hears
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R11 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
instruction’s warning voice;
and who celestial Wisdom makes
his early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
than east or west unfold;
and her rewards more precious are
than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
a length of happy days;
riches, with splendid honours join'd,
are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
in pleasure’s paths to tread,
a crown of glory she bestows
upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labours rise,
so her rewards increase;
her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace. Scripture: Proverbs 3:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)
O happy is the man who hears
Behold th' amazing gift of love
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R63 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold th’ amazing gift of love
the Father hath bestow'd
on us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God!
2 Conceal'd as yet this honour lies,
by this dark world unknown,
a world that knew not when he came,
ev’n God’s eternal Son
3 High is the rank we now possess;
but higher we shall rise;
though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes:
4 Our souls, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright;
for all his glory, full disclos'd,
shall open to our sight.

may trials well endure;
and purge the soul from sense and sin,
as Christ himself is pure. Scripture: 1 John 3:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)

God's mercies I will ever sing
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P89b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God’s mercies I will ever sing;
and with my mouth I shall
thy faithfulness make to be known
to generations all.
2 For mercy shall be built, said I,
for ever to endure;
thy faithfulness even in the heavens
thou wilt establish sure.
3 I with my chosen one have made
a covenant graciously;
and to my servant whom I loved,
to David sworn have I;
4 that I thy seed establish shall
for ever to remain,
and will to generations all
thy throne build and maintain.
5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
the heavens shall express;
the assembly of the holy ones
shall praise thy faithfulness.
6 For who in heaven with the Lord
may once himself compare?
Who is like God among the sons
of those that mighty are?
7 Great fear in meeting of the saints
is due unto the Lord;
and he of all about him should
with reverence be adored.
8 O Lord, the God of hosts, who can
to thee compared be?
The might One, the Lord, whose truth
doth round encompass thee.
9 Even in the raging of the sea
thou over it dost reign;
and when the waves thereof do rise,
thou stillest them again.
10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break,
like one that slaughtered is;
and with thy mighty arm thou hast
dispersed thine enemies.
11 The heavens are thine, thou for thine own
the earth dost also take;
the world, and fulness of the same,
thou by thy power didst make.
12 The north and south from thee alone
their first beginning had;
both Tabor mount and Hermon hill
shall in thy name be glad.
13 Thou hast an arm that’s full of power,
thy hand is great in might;
and thy right hand exceedingly
exalted is in height.
14 Justice and judgment of thy throne
are made the dwelling-place;
mercy, accompanied with truth,
shall go before thy face.1
15 O greatly blessed the people are
the joyful sound that know;
in brightness of thy face, O Lord,
they ever on shall go.
16 They in thy name shall all the day
rejoice exceedingly;
and in thy righteousness shall they
exalted be on high.
17 Because the glory of their strength
doth only stand in thee;
and in thy favour shall our horn
and power exalted be.
18 For to the Lord belongs our shield,
that doth us safety bring:
and unto Israel's Holy One
the man that is our king. Scripture: Psalm 89:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)
