See Him Lying on a Bed of Straw
Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Meter: 9.9.9.7 with refrain Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Refrain First Line: O now carry me to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 See him lying on a bed of straw:
a drafty stable with an open door;
Mary cradling the babe she bore--
the Prince of glory is his name.
Refrain:
O now carry me to Bethlehem
to see the Lord of love again:
just as poor as was the stable then,
the Prince of glory when he came.
2 Star of silver, sweep across the skies,
show where Jesus in the manger lies;
shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise
to see the Savior of the world! [Refrain]
3 Angels, sing again the song you sang,
sing the glory of God's gracious plan;
sing that Bethl'em's little baby can
be the Savior of us all. [Refrain]
4 Mine are riches, from your poverty,
from your innocence, eternity;
mine forgiveness by your death for me,
child of sorrow for my joy. [Refrain] Used With Tune: CALYPSO CAROL

When John Baptized by Jordan's River
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 When John baptized by Jordan's river
in faith and hope the people came,
that John and Jordan might deliver
their troubled souls from sin and shame.
They came to seek a new beginning,
the human spirit's ageless quest,
repentance and an end of sinning,
renouncing every wrong confessed.
2 There as the Lord, baptized and praying,
rose from the stream the sinless One,
a voice was heard from heaven saying,
"This is my own beloved Son."
There as the Father's word was spoken,
not in the power of wind and flame,
but of his love and peace the token,
seen as a dove, the Spirit came.
3 O Son of Man, our nature sharing,
in whose obedience all are blest,
Saviour, our sins and sorrows bearing,
hear us and grant us this request:
daily to grow, by grace defended,
filled with the Spirit from above;
in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended,
children of God in peace and love. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

send help according to your word.
Accept my sacrifice of praise
and make me know your judgments, LORD.

your law stays with me night and day.

yet from your truth I will not stray.

they make my heart and soul rejoice.

shall ever be my willing choice. Topics: Darkness; Powers of Darkness; God Light from; Word of God; Elements of Worship Hearing the Word Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET Text Sources: Psalter, 1912

At evening, when the sun had set
Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 At evening, when the sun had set,
the sick, O Lord, around you lay:
in such distress and pain they met,
but with what joy they went away!
2 Once more the evening falls, and we
oppressed with many ills, draw near,
and though your form we cannot see,
we know and feel that you are here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our cares dispel,
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved you well,
and some have lost the love they had,
4 and all desire your perfect rest,
for none is wholly free from sin,
and those who long to serve you best
are most aware of wrong within.
5 O Saviour Christ, O Son of Man,
you have been troubled, tempted, tried;
your kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
6 Your touch has still its ancient power;
no word from you can fruitless fall:
hear us, touch us in this hour,
and in your mercy heal us all. Topics: Evening; Evening; Fear; Gratitude; Jesus Christ Temptation of; Jesus Christ Healer and Teacher; Sin / Sinner Used With Tune: ANGELUS

Our Faith Is in the Christ Who Walks with Men
Author: Thomas Curtis Clark (1877-1953) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 First Line: Our faith is in the Christ who walks Lyrics: 1 Our faith is in the Christ who walks
With men today, in street and mart;
The constant friend who thinks and talks
With those who seek him with the heart.
2 His gospel calls for living men,
With singing blood and minds alert;
Strong men, who fall to rise again,
Who strive and bleed, with courage girt.
3 We serve no God whose work is done,
Who rests within his firmament;
Our God, his labors but begun,
Toils evermore, with power unspent.
4 God was and is and e'er shall be;
Christ lived and loved— and loves us still;
And man goes forward, proud and free,
God's present purpose to fulfill.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Labor Day; Other Observances Mission Used With Tune: WAREHAM
