Arise, shine out, your light has come

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come, unfolding City of our dreams. On distant hills a glory gleams: the new creation has begun. 2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night, high on your walls the dawn appears, and history shall dry its tears, as nations stream towards your light. 3 From walls surpassing time and space, unnumbered gates, like open hands, shall gather gifts from all the lands, and welcome all the human race. 4 The sounds of violence shall cease as dwellings of salvation rise to sparkle in eternal skies from avenues of praise and peace. 5 The dancing air shall glow with light and sun and moon give up their place when Love shines out of every face: our Good, our Glory, our Delight.

Now let our faith with joy survey

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let our faith with joy survey The glories of the latter day; Its dawn already seems begun, Sure earnest of the rising sun. 2 The friends of truth assembled stand, A chosen, consecrated band, The emblem of the cross display, And cry aloud, "Behold the way!" 3 Behold the way to Zion’s hill, Where Israel’s God delights to dwell; He fixes there His lofty throne, And calls the sacred place His own. 4 "Behold the way!" ye heralds! cry; Spare not, but lift your voices high; Convey the sound from shore to shore, And bid the captive sigh no more. 5 Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray With joy we view, and hail the day; Thou Sun! arise, supremely bright, And fill the world with purest light.

Go forth, a servant of the Lord

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Go forth, a servant of the Lord, Nor seek the need of human praise; Enough for thee if all thy days Shall win the promise of His word. 2 Go follow where the Saviour trod; Fulfil the work that He began, A master of the needs of man, A servant in the eyes of God. 3 Cast out the wrong, uphold the right With fearless heart and steadfast will; The arm of God is with us still To lift from darkness unto light. 4 Fight on till death. God give us grace To stay the sweeping tide of sin, To serve our fellows, and to win For God, our country, and our race. Topics: General Processionals Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

Hark! Hark! What News The Angels Bring

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hark! hark! what news the angels bring! Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark! what news the angels bring! Glad tidings of the newborn King; The promised Savior of mankind; Sinners, in Him salvation find. 2 This is the day, and this the morn, Which hailed the almighty Savior born, Born of the holy virgin pure, Born without sin, from guilt secure. 3 Hail blessèd virgin, full of grace! Blessèd above all mortal race, Whose blessèd womb brought forth in one, A God, a Savior, and a Son. 4 Hail! perfect God and perfect Man, Thy wondrous birth what mind shall scan? In vain the highest seraph tries To search Thy love’s deep mysteries. 5 Arise, my soul, and then, my voice, In hymns of praise early rejoice, His fame extol and magnify, Upon these errands angels fly. 6 If angels sang at Jesus’ birth What cause for holy joy on earth! For us our feeble flesh He took, For us the realms of light forsook. 7 Dear Christ, Thou didst Thyself debase, Thus to descend to human race, And leave Thy Father’s throne above: Lord, what could move Thee to this love? 8 Man that was made out of the dust, He found a paradise at first; But see the God of Heaven and earth Laid in a manger at His birth. 9 Surely the manger where He lies Doth figure out His sacrifice, And by His birth all men may see A pattern of humility. 10 Stupendous Child! my God and King! The wonders of Thy love I’ll sing; To grateful accents tune my voice, And, while I live, in Thee rejoice. 11 My soul, learn by Thy Savior’s birth For to debase thyself on earth, That I may be exalted high, To live with Him eternally. 12 I am resolved whilst here I live, As I’m in duty bound, to give All glory to the Deity, One God alone in persons three.

O Christ, the Heavens' Eternal King

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Christ, the heavens’ eternal King, Creator, unto Thee we sing, With God the Father ever One, Co-equal, co-eternal Son. 2. Thy hand, when the first the world began, Made in Thine own pure image man, And linked to fleshly form of earth A living soul of heavenly birth. 3. And when the envious crafty foe Had marred Thy noblest work below, Thou didst our ruined state repair By deigning flesh Thyself to wear. 4. Once of a virgin born to save, And now new born from death’s dark grave, O Christ, Thou bidd’st us rise with Thee From death to immortality. 5. Eternal Shepherd, Thou art wont To cleanse Thy sheep within the font, That mystic bath, that grave of sin, Where ransomed souls new life begin. 6. Divine Redeemer, Thou didst deign To bear for us the cross of pain, And freely pay the precious price Of all Thy blood in sacrifice. 7. Jesu, do Thou to every heart Unceasing Paschal joy impart; From death of sin and guilty strife Set free the new born sons of life. 8. All praise be Thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; All praise to God the Father be And Holy Ghost eternally.
