O God of love, whose mercy came

Hymnal: HEC #78 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: O God of love, whose mercy came To this dark world of sin and shame, And on a cross of suffering sore, That sin and shame in meekness bore. Supreme the love the Christ displayed, When He, True God, True Man was made; When He was scorned, His patience then Shone forth Divine, with sinful men. Did e'er such mercy lead the great To stoop from high to low estate? Did e'er such love incline the heart To take the erring sinner's part? 79 'Twas God who loved, 'twas God who gave His Son our erring souls to save; 'Tis Christ that wins us by the love From earth below to heaven above. Win me, O Lord, whose mercy came To this dark world of sin and shame, To that bright world whose beauties shine For ever in Thy love Divine. To Thee, O Father, glory be; And glory, Christ, God-Man, to Thee; And to the Spirit, Three in One, Now, and while countless ages run. Languages: English

Christ the Word! Thine incarnation

Hymnal: HEC #80 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Christ the Word! Thine incarnation Links my nature to Thine own; By Thy sore humiliation, I am lifted to Thy throne; By Thy suffering Thou hast fired me With a zeal to sacrifice, And to noble life inspired me: Hence my grateful songs arise. Word of God! Thy crucifixion Hath upraised me from the earth; By Thy death and dereliction, Thou hast given me nobler birth; 81 By Thy resurrection glorious, Life immortal now I own: Hence ascend my songs victorious To Thy praise, O Christ the Son. By Thy hand at the creation, Thou didst form me from the ground, And, to mark my kingly station, With Thine image I was crowned; And that hand, when pierced and bleeding, Raised me from corruption's mire; And, though all this love unheeding, Decked me with Divine attire. Thou who gav'st my soul its being, Breathing in me life Divine, Didst, by Thine all-wise decreeing, Unto death Thy life resign; And from death my soul defending, Thou didst sojourn with the dead, That Thou might'st, my fetters rending, Raise me up, Thou glorious Head! 82 Shame be on your heads abiding, Disobedient people now, Who to death, and vile deriding, Caused the Word of God to bow! Shame! for death, nor powers infernal, Nor the dark of hades' gloom, Could retain the King Eternal In the bondage of the tomb. Languages: English

Glory to God! The morn appointed breaks

Hymnal: HEC #83 (1913) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: Glory to God! The morn appointed breaks, And earth awakes from all the woeful past; For, with the morn, the Lord of Life awakes, And sin and death into the grave are cast. Glory to God! The cross, with all its shame, Now sheds its glory o'er a ransomed world; For He who bore the burden of our blame, With pierced hands the foe to hell hath hurled. Glory to God! Sing ransomed souls again, And let your songs our glorious Victor laud, Who by His might hath snapped the tyrant's chain, And set us free to rise with Him to God. 84 Darkness and night, farewell! the morn is here; Welcome! the light that ushers in the day; Visions of joy before our sight appear, And like the clouds, our sorrows melt away. Great Son of God, Immortal and renowned! Brighter than morn the glory on Thy brow; Crowns must be won, and Thou art nobly crowned, For death is dead, and sin is vanquished now. Languages: English

Accept our evening prayer

Oh come, ye people, come, Give praise to Christ your God; The glory of His rising tell To all the world abroad: For He is God, whose power hath hurled The great accuser from the world. 86 Encompass Zion round, And in her midst proclaim The glory of the Son of God, Who back from bondage came; Who burst the gates of death, to win Our freedom from the yoke of sin. Thy Passion, Lord, hath freed Our souls from passion's reign; Nor may we know corruption base, Since Thou hast risen again; Glory to Thee, O Christ the Lord, Son of our God, Incarnate Word!

Let us worship and adore Him, Let us now fall down before Him. Men with erring sinners found Thee, Found the only sinless One; And upon a cross they bound Thee, For the good that Thou hadst done; Let us worship and adore Him, Let us now fall down before Him. 88 We have heard the wondrous story Of the Resurrection morn: Christ our God, to Him be glory, For the bands of death are torn; Let us worship and adore Him, Come and let us fall before Him. Come, ye faithful, come with gladness, To your God thanksgiving pay; For the Cross was shorn of sadness On the Resurrection day: Let us worship and adore Him, Come and let us bow before Him.

He led them forth to Bethany

Hymnal: HEC #89 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: He led them forth to Bethany, And with uplifted hand, Invoked abiding blessing there, Upon His chosen band. And while He climbed the heavenly path, His followers with amaze Beheld the Christ from earth ascend, Beyond their farthest gaze. O Christ, our Lord, ascended now, The Kingdom is Thine own; And angel hosts in triumph lead The Victor to His throne. 90 But think upon the days of woe, The sorrow and the pain, And visit with Thy gracious help Thy followers again. That they may stand while others fall, And fight while others flee, And on the cross their arms extend In loyalty to Thee. And raise them to the calm of heaven When all the strife is past, Where saints behold Thee and adore While endless ages last. Languages: English

See the King of kings ascending

Hymnal: HEC #91 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: See the King of kings ascending To His throne of power again; Who in humble garb descending, Came to dwell with lowly men. Glad the angel hosts adoring Fling the golden gates aside; Mortals, view the Victor soaring, Heaven receives the Lord with pride. Strike your harps, ye choirs supernal; Lift your songs of welcome now; For behold, your King eternal Comes with laurels on His brow. 92 Gone the sorrow and the sighing, All the anguish and the pain; Gone the weakness and the dying-- Choirs immortal, raise the strain: Hallelujah! endless glory To the King of Glory give; Mortals, heed the gladsome story, Christ is risen, and thou may'st live!

He mounts to where the azure shines

Hymnal: HEC #93 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: He mounts to where the azure shines, Triumphant as the light; Till, past the glowing gates, the Christ Is lost to mortal sight. And now, amid the bliss of heaven, The Father's throne He shares; And gems of radiant beauty deck The sparkling crown He wears. Remember, Lord, Thy promise made When hearts in sadness pined, And send the Comforter to soothe The sorrows of mankind; 94 And as the lingering ages pass, To teach the souls of men That they may hail the Christ when He In glory comes again. All praise to Thee, Eternal God, And to the Son be given, Whose glory, darkly veiled on earth, Now fills the light of heaven; And to the Holy Comforter, By whom our lives are blest, Be praise, by every waiting heart, For evermore expressed.

Past the cross with all its shame

Hymnal: HEC #95 (1913) Meter: 7.5.7.5.7.5 Lyrics: Past the cross with all its shame, All its grief and gloom; Past the solitude of death In the silent tomb: Lo, the Victor from the strife, Giver of Immortal life. Stands He there on Olivet, With an outstretched hand, Calling His last blessing down, On His faithful band, Ere He mounts the azure height Past the range of mortal sight. Bow, ye heavens, in reverence low; Clouds, a pathway clear; For the Christ, who came to earth, Mounts the glowing sphere; Stand, ye heavenly gates, aside, For He enters to abide. 96 Angels look with wondering gaze, As their Lord draws nigher; Why these wounded hands and feet? And that stained attire? Hail! the God-man from the strife, Wins for man immortal life. All alone, the faithful gaze Towards the silent skies; For the Christ hath passed beyond Love's enquiring eyes; But our flesh is knit to His Where the ascended God-man is. Languages: English

Oh, may the Spirit of all grace

Hymnal: HEC #97 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Oh, may the Spirit of all grace Descend and in our hearts abide, And what of good or ill betide, Find in them aye a resting-place. There is no peace to mortals given, Save when the Spirit finds His rest Within the secret of our breast, And there inspires the calm of heaven. Our earthly calms a storm presage; They whisper peace, and tempests rise; And clouds obscure the brightest skies, And winds and waves in tumult rage. 98 No storm disturbs the heavenly peace; No whispering fills the soul with fears As when the brooding tempest nears, And clouds around our path increase. 'Tis lasting calm, 'tis heavenly rest: Come, Spirit of the Living God, And in our spirits shed abroad The peace that makes the troubled blest. Languages: English
