God the Lord, the king almighty

Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God the Lord, the King almighty, calls the earth from east to west: shining out from Zion's splendour, city loveliest and best, comes our God! He breaks the silence, robed in burning majesty: 'Gather all my covenant people, bound by sacrifice to me'. 2 'Hear me testify against you: listen, Israel, as I speak: I do not require your offerings, sacrifice I do not seek. Mountain birds and meadow creatures, Cattle on a thousand hills, all the beasts are my possession, moving as their maker wills.' 3 God who owns the whole creation needs no gift, no food, no house: bring to him your hearts' thanksgiving: God most high will hear your vows. Trust him in the day of trouble, call to him who will redeem: God will be your strong deliverer, his renown your daily theme. 4 Lies increase and evil prospers; God is silent, while men say, 'He has gone; let us forget him!' thinking he is false as they. But his word will judge or save us; let us come before his throne giving thanks, receiving mercy: God's salvation now made known.

God Whose Love is Always Stronger

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear Lyrics: God whose love is always stronger Than our weakness, pride and fear, In your world, we pray and wonder How to be more faithful here. Hate too often grows inside us; Fear rules what the nations do. So we pray, when wars divide us: Give us love, Lord! Make us new! Love is patient, kind and caring, Never arrogant or rude, Never boastful, all things bearing; Love rejoices in the truth. When we’re caught up in believing War will make the terror cease, Show us Jesus’ way of living; May our strength be in your peace. May our faith in you be nourished; May your churches hear your call. May our lives be filled with courage As we speak your love for all. Now emboldened by your Spirit Who has given us new birth, Give us love, that we may share it Till your love renews the earth.

Jesus Died Upon the Tree

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Sound aloud the wondrous story Lyrics: 1 Sound aloud the wondrous story, Jesus died upon the tree; As we onward march to glory, Jesus died upon the tree. Sinners of the deepest dye, Who the God of love defy, Unto you we’re sent to cry, Jesus died upon the tree. 2 Yes, lost one, it was for you, Jesus died upon the tree; Oh, what love—how deep, how true, Jesus died upon the tree. See Him there, the spotless One, See the blood which doth atone, Hear Him cry, “’Tis done!” “’Tis done!” As He died upon the tree. 3 Sinner, you have heard the story, Jesus died upon the tree; And you fain would meet in glory Him Who died upon the tree. Then on Christ just now rely, Ere in judgment He pass by, And no more you’ll hear the cry, Jesus died upon the tree. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

King, Messiah, Long Expected

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King, Messiah, long expected, Thou art come unto Thine own! Promised seed of the elected, Heir foretold of David’s throne! Long for Thee they watched and hearkened— King and patriarch, priest and seer; Faith waxed cold, and hope was darkened; When men looked not—Thou wert here. 2 In the time and place appointed, When the ordered years had sped, Came the Prince, the true Anointed, To His throne, the manger bed: There the infant King, fulfilling, All things for His people’s sake, Learned today obedience willing, Deigned the covenant seal to take. 3 Surely in that hour of wonder, Faithful Abraham in his rest, Saw the shadows part asunder, Saw Thy dawning, and was blest! Surely then the gracious vision Through Thine unseen kingdoms thrilled; And in Jesu’s circumcision Ages saw their hope fulfilled! 4 Father of the new creation! Prophet of the latter time! Leader of the ransomed nation To the better Canaan’s clime! Though, from Gentile stock arising, Alien branches once were we, Thou hast said, in our baptizing, We are circumcised in Thee. 5 So this day with new thanksgiving Shall Thy faithful seed draw near; So, ’mid prayers for holier living, Praise shall deck our opening year; Praise, because our feast day sees us Built on Thee, the Cornerstone; And the mighty name of Jesus Binds today the world in one.
