Praise we the Lord this day
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord this day,
this day so long foretold,
whose promise shone with cheering ray
on waiting saints of old.
2 The prophet gave the sign
for faithful hearts to read:
a virgin born of David's line,
shall bear the promised seed.
3 Ask not how this should be,
but worship and adore,
like her whom heaven's Majesty
came down to shadow o'er.
4 She meekly bowed her head
to hear the gracious word,
Mary, the pure and lowly maid,
the favoured of the Lord.
5 Most blest shall be her name
in all the church on earth,
through whom that wondrous mercy came,
the incarnate Saviour's birth. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Annunciation Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Used With Tune: ST GEORGE (GAUNTLETT) Text Sources: Hymns for the Festivals, Oxford, 1846, alt.

Commit thou all thy griefs
Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Appears in 245 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy griefs
And ways into His hands,
To His sure truth and tender care,
Who earth and heaven commands.

He shall prepare thy way.
3 Thou on the Lord rely,
So safe shalt thou go on;
Fix on His work thy steadfast eye,
So shall thy work be done.
4 No profit canst thou gain
By self-consuming care;
To Him commend thy cause, His ear
Attends the softest prayer.

Father, Thy ceaseless love,
Sees all Thy children's wants, and knows
What best for each will prove. Topics: Afflictions Comfort in; Anxious Care; Cares Anxious; The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; God Care of; Providence Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

How welcome was the call
We give thee but thine own
Author: William Walsham How, 1823 - 97 Appears in 484 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold. A-men.
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christlike thing.
6 And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be;
Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - The Day's Work; The Life In Christ Service Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE (ST. OLAVE)

O well of water free,
O heavenly flame, refining fire,
O burning charity!

Ye servants of the Lord

Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in your office, wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight,
For awful is his Name.
Watch! 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
O happy servant he
In such a posture found;
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crowned.

To lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.

Escapes each human eye,
And faithful pondering hearts await
The full Epiphany.

And teach us by Thy grace,
Each dim revealing of Thyself
With loving awe to trace;
6 Till from our darkened sight
The cloud shall pass away,
And on the cleansèd soul shall burst
The everlasting Day;
7 Till we behold Thy face,
And know, as we are known,
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Co-equal Three in One.

Ye People, Cease From Tears
Author: Charles Coffin; Richard Campbell Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Ye people, cease from tears,
Your prayers are heard above:
And from His throne in Heav’n appears
The God of peace and love.
2 O’er Bethl’em’s silent plains,
Hark, heav’nly voices sing,
Announcing in triumphant strains
The birthday of our king.
3 The faithful shepherds hear,
And haste the Babe to greet:
Let us like them with joy draw near,
And worship at His feet.
4 But say—oh, strange surprise—
What spectacle is seen:
An Infant in the manger laid,
His parents poor and mean?
5 Say—do we here behold
The Son of God most high,
Who doth within His hand infold
The earth and sea and sky?
6 Faith penetrates the veil,
And through the cloud drawn o’er,
Sees Him whom angels trembling hail,
The God whom they adore.
7 O Babe, Thy birth despised
And lowly manger tell,
To flee from all below that’s prized,
And with the meek to dwell.
8 From sinful shame and pride
Guard us, Thou Child divine:
Then wilt Thou in our hearts abide,
Thy cradle and Thy shrine. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736
