my beauty are, my glorious dress;
'midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
with joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day;
for who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am
from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 Jesus, be endless praise to thee,
whose boundless mercy hath for me–
for me a full atonement made,
an everlasting ransom paid.
4 O let the dead now hear thy voice;
now bid thy banished ones rejoice;
their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, thy blood and righteousness.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:11-14 First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.

O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
Author: William Harry Turton (1856-1938) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:12 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who at thy eucharist didst pray
that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say,
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: SONG 1

You have no harshness and no bitterness.
Lord, grant to us the grace in you we see
that we may live in perfect unity.

Grant us your peace; make us so strong and pure
that we may conquerors be, all ills endure.

calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.

quenching thirst in every land.

Christ who suffered in our place.

that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.

praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Epiphany (season); Healing; Jesus' Life and Ministry; Praise of God; Water Used With Tune: NETTLETON
