Come, thou Holy Spirit, come
Author: Stephen Langton, d. 1228; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 7.7.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Holy Spirit, come,
and from thy celestial home
shed a ray of light divine;
come, thou Father of the poor,
come, thou source of all our store,
come, within our bosoms shine.
2 Thou of comforters the best,
thou the soul's most welcome guest,
sweet refreshment here below;
in our labour rest most sweet,
grateful coolness in the heat,
solace in the midst of woe.
3 O most blessèd Light divine,
shine within these hearts of thine,
and our inmost being fill;
where thou art not, man hath naught,
nothing good in deed or thought,
nothing free from taint of ill.
4 Heal our wounds; our strength renew;
on our dryness pour thy dew;
wash the stains of guilt away;
bend the stubborn heart and will;
melt the frozen, warm the chill;
guide the steps that go astray.
5 On the faithful, who adore
and confess thee, evermore
in thy sevenfold gifts descend:
Give them virtue's sure reward,
give them thy salvation, Lord,
give them joys that never end. Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Year A; Pentecost Year C Used With Tune: VENI SANCTE SPIRITUS

Constantly Abiding
Author: Anne S. Murphy Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7 First Line: There's a peace in my heart that the world never gave Refrain First Line: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine Lyrics: 1 There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
A peace it cannot take away;
Tho' the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!
Chorus:
Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;
He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O so kind:
“I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine.
2 All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King,
When peace sweetly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day,
Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art! (Chorus)
3 This treasure I have in a temple of clay,
While here on His footstool I roam;
But He’s coming to take me some glorious day,
Over there to my heavenly home! (Chorus)

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 37 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 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
The Glory of These Forty Days
Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth
Author: Jean de Santeul, 1630-1697; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth,
who choosest for thine the meek and the poor;
to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth,
entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure;
2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light,
and at thy decree are broken and gone;
thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might,
as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone.
3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will,
and swift as the winds about the world go:
the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill;
they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow.
4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!'
then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall;
as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word,
and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall.
5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound,
to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin:
the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around,
O may they awaken our spirits within.
6 All honour and praise, dominion and might,
to God, Three in One, eternally be,
who round us hath shed his own marvellous light,
and called us from darkness his glory to see. Topics: Saints; Proper 5 Year C Used With Tune: OLD 104TH

Round me falls the night
Author: William Romanis, 1824-1899 Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Round me falls the night;
Saviour, be my light;
through the hours in darkness shrouded
let me see thy face unclouded;
let thy glory shine
in this heart of mine.
2 Earthly work is done,
earthly sounds are none;
rest in sleep and silence seeking,
let me hear thee softly speaking;
in my spirit's ear
whisper, 'I am near.'
3 Blessèd, heavenly Light,
shining through earth's night;
voice, that oft of love hast told me;
arms, so strong to clasp and hold me;
thou thy watch wilt keep,
Saviour, o'er my sleep. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM
Round me falls the night
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Author: Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice (1859-1918) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:8-11 Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - National Life; Remembrance Sunday; Stages of Life Used With Tune: THAXTED
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
