Glory be to Jesus

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From his sacred veins! Grace and life eternal In that blood I find, Blest be his compassion Infinitely kind! Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from sin and sorrow Doth the world redeem! Abel's blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high Angel hosts, rejoicing, Make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood. Amen.

In token that thou shalt not fear

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: In token that thou shalt not fear Christ crucified to own, We print the cross upon thee here, And stamp thee his alone. 313 In token that thou shalt not blush To glory in his Name, We blazon here upon thy front His glory and his shame. In token that thou too shalt tread The path he traveled by, Endure the cross, despise the shame, And sit thee down on high; Thus outwardly and visibly We seal thee for his own: And may the brow that wears his cross Hereafter share his crown.

Lord, in this Thy mercy's day

Author: Isaac Williams Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: Lord, in this thy mercy's day, Ere the time shall pass away On our knees we fall and pray. Holy Jesus, grant us tears, Fill us with heart-searching fears, Ere that day of doom appears. Lord, on us thy Spirit pour, Kneeling lowly at thy door, Ere it close for evermore. By thy night of agony, By thy supplicating cry, By thy willingness to die, By thy tears of bitter woe For Jerusalem below, Let us not thy love forego. Judge and Savior of our race, Grant us, when we see thy face, With thy ransomed ones a place. On thy love we rest alone And that love shall then be known By the pardoned, round thy throne. Amen.

Lord, we thy presence seek; May ours this blessing be; Give us a pure and lowly heart, A temple meet for thee. Amen.

O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,248 hymnals Lyrics: O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 406 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our Guide while life shall last, And our eternal home. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits; Old and New Year Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

All things bright and beautiful

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 6.7.6.7 D with refrain Appears in 347 hymnals First Line: Each little flower that opens Lyrics: All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky, All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day, He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well.
