Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 710 hymnals Lyrics: Come, my soul, thy suit prepare; Jesus loves to answer prayer; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee, Nay. Thou art coming to a King: Large petitions with thee bring; For his grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 279 Lord, I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my guide, my guard, my friend, Lead me to my journey's end. Show me what I have to do; Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith; Let me die thy people's death. Holy Father, Holy Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! Glory, as of old, to thee, Now, and evermore shall be. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: BRASTED

Yea, we know that thou rejoicest O'er each work of thine; Thou didst ears and hands and voices For thy praise combine Craftsman's art and music's measure For thy pleasure didst design. 419 In thy house, great God, we offer Of thine own to thee; And for thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, In our choicest melody. Honor, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be! Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessèd Trinity! Of the best that thou hast given, Earth and heaven render thee. Amen.

Triumphant Sion, lift thy head

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: Triumphant Sion, lift thy head From dust, and darkness, and the dead! Though humbled long, awake at length, And gird thee with thy Savior's strength. Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thine excellence be known: Decked in the robes of righteousness, The world thy glories shall confess. No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell's insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast. God from on high has heard thy prayer, His hand thy ruins shall repair: Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.

Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace

Author: Mary A. Thomson Meter: Irregular Appears in 462 hymnals First Line: O Sion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: O Sion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That he who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night: Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior's dying, Or of the life he died for them to win. 'Tis thine to save from peril of perdition The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown. Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. 433 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way, Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; And all thou spendest Jesus will repay. He comes again! O Sion, ere thou meet him, Make known to every heart his saving grace; Let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see his face.

We three kings of Orient are

Author: John Henry Hopkins, Jun. Meter: Irregular Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown him again, King for ever, Ceasing never Over us all to reign. 516 Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh, Prayer and praising, All men raising, Worship him, God on high. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, Bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold him arise, King, and God, and Sacrifice, Heav'n sings Alle- luia: Alle- luia the earth replies. Amen.

Immortal Love, for ever full

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 306 hymnals Lyrics: Immortal Love, for ever full, For ever flowing free, For ever shared, for ever whole, A never-ebbing sea! Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 368 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine. Amen. Topics: Visitation Used With Tune: FINGAL
