All who linger, all who fall.

Sing it o'er and o'er again,
Christ receiveth sinful men;
Make the message clear and plain,
Christ receiveth sinful men.

Trust Him, for His word is plain;
He will take the sinfulest;
Christ receiveth sinful men. (Chorus)

Pure before the law I stand;
He who cleansed me from all spot,
Satisfied its last demand. (Chorus)

Even me with all my sin;
Purged from every spot and stain,
Heav'n with Him I enter in. (Chorus)

Songs of thankfulness and praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:1-19 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesu, Lord, to thee we raise,
manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in thy birth at Bethlehem:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
and at Cana, wedding-guest
in thy Godhead manifest;
manifest in power divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
anthems be to thee addrest,
God in man made manifest.
4 Sun and moon shall darkened be,
stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee;
Christ will then like lightning shine,
all will see his glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
thou by all wilt be confest,
God in man made manifest.
5 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
mirrored in thy holy word;
may we imitate thee now,
and be pure, as pure art thou;
that we like to thee may be
at thy great Epiphany;
and may praise thee, ever blest,
God in man made manifest. Topics: Baptism of Christ Year A; Epiphany II Year A; Epiphany II Year B; Epiphany II Year C; Epiphany III Year B; Epiphany IV Year A Used With Tune: ST EDMUND

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: St. Gregory the Great, ca. 540-604; Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:18-22 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions' might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah's name.
4 Then grant that we like them be true,
Consumed in fast and pray'r with you;
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
And give us joy to see your face.
5 O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
To you be ev'ry pray'r addressed;
Who are in threefold Name adored,
From age to age, the only Lord. Topics: The Liturgical Year Ash Wednesday; The Liturgical Year Lent (Sundays and Weekdays) Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR Text Sources: Tr.: English Hymnal, 1906

O God, we bear the imprint of your face
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:13-17 Lyrics: 1 O God, we bear the imprint of your face:
the colours of our skin are your design,
and what we have of beauty in our race
as man or woman, you alone define,
who stretched a living fabric on our frame
and gave to each a language and a name.
2 Where we are torn and pulled apart by hate
because our race, our skin is not the same;
while we are judged unequal by the state
and victims made because we own our name --
humanity reduced to little worth
dishonoured is Your living face on earth.
3 O God, we share the image of your Son
whose flesh and blood are ours, whatever skin,
in his humanity we find our own,
and in his family our proper kin:
Christ is the brother we still crucify,
his love the language we must learn, or die. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in mission and service; Our Response to God in mission and service; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: SONG 1

With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without,

Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because thy promise I believe;

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 510 hymnals Scripture: Mark 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard
beside the Syrian sea
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
