shall our hearts forget his promise,
"I am with you evermore"?

here on earth our help, our stay;
Alleluia! hear the sinful
cry to you from day to day.

I Will Sing the Wondrous Story
Author: Francis H. Rowley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 289 hymnals First Line: I will sing the wondrous story Lyrics: 1. I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me.
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
2. I was bruised, but Jesus healed me;
Faint was I from many a fall;
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o'er me,
Sorrow's paths I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I'm safely led.
3. He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea. Scripture: Psalm 66:16 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

King, Messiah, Long Expected
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King, Messiah, long expected,
Thou art come unto Thine own!
Promised seed of the elected,
Heir foretold of David’s throne!
Long for Thee they watched and hearkened—
King and patriarch, priest and seer;
Faith waxed cold, and hope was darkened;
When men looked not—Thou wert here.
2 In the time and place appointed,
When the ordered years had sped,
Came the Prince, the true Anointed,
To His throne, the manger bed:
There the infant King, fulfilling,
All things for His people’s sake,
Learned today obedience willing,
Deigned the covenant seal to take.
3 Surely in that hour of wonder,
Faithful Abraham in his rest,
Saw the shadows part asunder,
Saw Thy dawning, and was blest!
Surely then the gracious vision
Through Thine unseen kingdoms thrilled;
And in Jesu’s circumcision
Ages saw their hope fulfilled!
4 Father of the new creation!
Prophet of the latter time!
Leader of the ransomed nation
To the better Canaan’s clime!
Though, from Gentile stock arising,
Alien branches once were we,
Thou hast said, in our baptizing,
We are circumcised in Thee.
5 So this day with new thanksgiving
Shall Thy faithful seed draw near;
So, ’mid prayers for holier living,
Praise shall deck our opening year;
Praise, because our feast day sees us
Built on Thee, the Cornerstone;
And the mighty name of Jesus
Binds today the world in one. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Jesus Christ, the King of glory,

will their heads before Him wave,
Ripened by His glorious sunshine
from the furrows of the grave.

Shed upon us heavenly grace,
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
from the brightness of Thy face;

here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with Thee.

With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you
Gladly, freely, of your own.
With the sunshine of your goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by you, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor you have given
To our humblest charity
In your own mysterious sentence,
"You have done it all to me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
That you deign for alms to sue,
Saying by your poor and needy,
"Give as I have giv'n to you"?
4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings
Which on ev'ry hand we view
Channels are for gifts and off'rings
Due by solemn right to you;
Right of which we may not rob you,
Debt we may not choose but pay,
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day.
4 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With Your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith to trust you boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on you:
But, oh, best of all your graces,
With your love our love renew. Topics: Society; Lent 4 (Year A); Justification; Society Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

See the dead their graves forsaking,
Nature sinking in a blaze.

Rising from their dusty beds,
Fly to meet their blessed Savior,
Glittering crowns upon their heads;
Hear them tell their pleasing story
To their smiling, lovely king,
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory is the song they sing.
3 Once an infant in a manger,
There the Lord of glory lay;

But upon the oxen’s hay;

Brighter than a sardius stone;

Seated on His great white throne. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL Text Sources: The Sacred Songster, 5th ed. by Amos Pilsbury (Columbia, SC, 1825)

2 Let the world despise and leave me;
they have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
you are not, like them, untrue.
And, since you have smiled upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
foes may hate and friends may shun me;
show your face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In your service pain is pleasure,
with your favor loss is gain.
I have called you Abba, Father;
you my all in all shall be.
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
all must work for good to me.
4 Haste, my soul, from grace to glory,
armed by faith and winged by prayer;
all but heav'n is transitory,
God's own hand shall guide you there.
Soon shall end this earthly story,
swift shall pass the pilgrim days,
hope soon change to heav'nly glory,
faith to sight and prayer to praise. Topics: Discipleship Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
