This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping

Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); Richard Lyman Sturch (b. 1936) Hymnal: CH4 #375 (2005) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Person Name: Peter Abelard (1079-1142) Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping, when powers of darkness overcome the day, the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil whereby our sins the Son of Man betray. 2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold, betrays himself into his victim's will; the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing, sin brings about the cure for sin's own ill. 3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper, blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind; this night injustice joins its hand to treason's, and buys the ransom-price of humankind. 4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested, he who destroys our slavery to sin; accused of crime, to criminals be given, that judgement on the righteous Judge begin. 5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion, that we may share your glory that shall be; let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow to Easter's laughter and its liberty.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: CH4 #148 (2005) Person Name: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, does his Creator's power display, and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of her birth; while all the stars that round her burn, and all the planets, in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll, and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice, for ever singing, as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine!'
