ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH (PSALM 100)

All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell.
Come ye before him, and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts so true;
Laud, and bless His name always.
For it is seemly so to do.

For why, the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore.
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

FATHER, WITHIN THY HOUSE TODAY

Father, within thy house today,
We wait thy kindly love to see,
Since thou hast said in truth that they,
Who dwell in love are one with thee,
Bless those who for thy blessing wait;
Their love accept and consecrate.

Dear Lord of Love, whose heart of fire,
So full of pity for our sin,
Was once in that divine desire,
Broken, thy Bride to woo and win,
Look down and bless them from above,
And keep their hearts alight with love.

Blest Spirit, who with life and light,
Didst quicken chaos to thy praise,
Whose energy, in sin's despite,
Still lifts our nature up to grace,
Bless those who here in truth consent;
Creator, crown thy Sacrament.

Great One in Three, of whom are named,
All families on earth and heaven,
Hear us, who have thy promise claimed.
And let a wealth of grace be given;
Grant them in life and death to be,
Each knit to each, and both to thee.

🎼 HYMN 10 Entrance
HAPPY INDEED IS THE MAN (PSALM 1)

Blessed is he who delights
in the law of the Lord.

Happy indeed is the man who follows
Not the counsel of the wicked,
Not lingers in the way of sinners
Not lingers in the way of sinners,
Nor sits in the company of scorners,
But whose delight is the law of the Lord
And who ponders his law day and night.

He is like a tree that is planted
Beside the flowing waters,
That yields its fruit in due season
And whose leaves shall never fade;
And all that he does shall proper.
Not so are the wicked, not so!

For they like winnowed chaff
Shall be driven away by the wind.
When the wicked are judged,
they shall not stand,
Nor find room among those who are just,
For the Lord guards the way of the just,
But the way of the wicked leads to doom.

Give praise to the Father Almighty,
To his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and forever. Amen.

🎼 HYMN 11 Entrance
HARK, MY SOUL, HOW EVERYTHING

Hark, my soul, how everything
Strives to serve our bounteous King;
Each a double tribute pays,
Sings its part, and then obeys.

Nature's chief and sweetest choir,
Him with cheerful notes admire;
Chanting every day their lauds,
While the grove their song applauds.

Though their voices lower be,
Streams have too their melody;
Night and day they warbling run,
Never pause, but still sing on.

All the flowers that gild the spring,
Hither their still music bring;
If heaven bless them, thankful, they
Smell more sweet, and look more gay.

Only we can scare afford,
This short office to our Lord;
We, on whom his bounty flows,
All things give, and nothing owes.

Wake, for shame, my sluggish heart,
Wake, and gladly sing your part;
Learn of birds, and springs, and flowers,
How to use your noblest powers.

Call whole nature to your aid;
Since 'twas he whole nature made;
Join in one eternal song,
Who to one God all belong.

🎼 HYMN 12 Entrance
HEAR, O THOU BOUNTEOUS MAKER

Hear, O thou bounteous Maker, hear,
Our humble vows with gracious ear;
Turn not thy saving face away,
Whilst on this solemn feast we pray.

Great searcher of our hearts, to thee,
We here deplore our misery;
Behold, we to thy mercies fly,
Do thou thy healing grace apply.

Great are our sins, O Lord, but thou
Canst pardon more than we can do;
May our defects, like shadows, raise
The beauty and the life of grace.

May fasts extinguish in our will,
The fuel and desire of oil,
And thus our souls from fetters free
May only thirst and follow thee.

Grant, O most sacred Trinity,
One undivided Unity,
That abstinence may here improve,
Our claim to reign with thee above.

🎼 HYMN 13 Entrance
HEAR US, O LORD

King high exalted, all the world's redeemer,
To thee thy children lift their eyes with weeping;
Christ, we implore thee, hear our supplications.

Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy upon us,
For we have sinned against thee.

Right hand of Godhead, headstone of the corner,
Path of salvation, gate of heaven's kingdom,
Cleanse thou thy people,
stained with their transgressions.

We, they eternal majesty entreating,
Make lamentation in thy holy hearing;
Gracious, grant thou to our sins indulgence.

Humbly confess we,
who have sinned against thee,
All our misdoings, hidden now no longer,
May thy redeeming mercy find us pardon.

Led away captive, guiltless, unresisting,
Brought by false witness unto death for sinners,
Christ do thou keep us whom thy blood
hath ransomed.

🎼 HYMN 14 Entrance
HERE WE ARE

The brotherhood we share, all as one.
Keep the fire burning, kindle it with care,
And we'll all join in and sing.

Let us make the world a better place.
Keep a smile handy, have a helping hand,
Let us all join in and sing.

🎼 HYMN 15 Entrance
HOLD THE FORT

Ho! my comrades see the signal
waving in the sky
Reinforcement now appearing, victory is nigh.

Hold the fort for I am coming,
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to heaven,
By the grace, we will.

See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on,
Mighty men around us falling courage
almost gone.

See the glorious banner waving,
Hear the trumpet blow;
In our leaders name we triumph,

Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near.
Onward comes our great Commander,
Cheer my comrades, cheer.

HOW GREAT IS YOUR NAME (PSALM 8)

How great is your name, O Lord our God
Through all the earth!

Your majesty is praised above the heaven;
on the lips of children and of babes
you have found praise to foil your enemy,
to silence the foe and the rebel.

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands,
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind mortal man that you care for him?

Yet you have made him little less than a god;
gave him power over the works of your hand,
put all things under his feet.

All of them sheep and cattle,
yes, even the savage beasts,
birds of the air, and fish
that make their way through the waters.

Give glory to the Father Almighty,
to his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
to the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
both now and forever. Amen.

shouts of joy

Of the house of David.

"Peace be to your homes!
May peace reign in your walls,
In your palaces, peace!"

Both now and forever,
The God who is, who was and is to come
At the end of the ages.

Till every foe is vanquished,

Against unnumbered foes;

And watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.

To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;

The works of your hands declare
your glory, O God.

Lord, open my lips and my
mouth shall declare your praise.

and the firmament shows forth
the work of his hands.
Day unto day takes up the story,
And night unto night makes known the message.

Yet their span goes forth through all the earth.
Their words to the utmost bounds of the world.

There he has placed the tent for the sun;
It comes forth like a bride-groom
coming from his tent
Rejoices like a champion to run its course.

At the end of the sky is the rising of the sun;
To the furthest end of the sky is its course;
There is nothing concealed
from its burning heat.

THY KINGDOM COME

Thy kingdom come, yea, bid it come,
But, when thy kingdom first began
On earth, thy kingdom was a home,
A child, a woman, and a man.

The child was in the midst thereof,
O blessed Jesus, Holiest One
The center and the fount of love,
Mary and Joseph's little Son.

Wherever on this earth shall be
A child, a woman, and a man,
Imaging that sweet Trinity
Wherewith thy kingdom first began.

Establish there thy kingdom, yea,
And o'er that Trinity of love
Send down, as in thy appointed day,
The brooding spirit of thy Dove.

HOW GREAT IS YOUR NAME

How great is your name for
Those who can see
Where it's written all over the sky
Where the stars sing their praise
Spell your name many ways
Or the eagle that fly with
The clouds on high
While the mountains declare:
"I am Lord everywhere
In the wide restless sea that
Is shouting of me.''

How clear is your voice for
Those who will stop
To hear what you have to say
It is heard in the breeze
As it rustles the leaves
Or the raindrops that spray
On a gray stormy day
But the heart hears it best
When the mind is at rest
And the stubbornest will is
Surrendered and still.

How lovely your face for
Those who will see
Where it's found on earth
Everywhere in the glance of a child
Or a mother so mild
In a sinner's despair or a
Saint that's in prayer
In every person that we
Meet in a crowded city street
We can see where your face
Is in the whole human race.

Out in the desert dark and dreary,
Calling the sheep who've gone astray,
Far from the shepherd's fold away.

Bring them in from the fields of sin.
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wandering ones to Jesus.

Who'll go and help this shepherd kind,
Help Him the wandering ones to find?
Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold
Where they'll be sheltered from the cold?

Out in the desert hear their cry,
Out on the mountains wild and high.
Hark! 'tis the Master speaks to thee,
"Go find my sheep where-e'er they be."

I TRUSTED EVEN WHEN I SAID (PSALM 155: 10 ... 19)

How can I repay the Lord
for his goodness to me
I will raise the cup of salvation,
I will call on God's name.

I trusted, even when I said:
"I am sorely afflicted"
And when I said in my alarm:
"No man can be trusted."

How can I repay the Lord
For his goodness to me?
The cup of salvation I will raise
I will call on the Lord's name.

My vows to the Lord I will fulfil
Before all his people,
O precious in the eyes of the Lord
Is the death of his faithful.

You servant; Lord, your servant am I;
You have loosened my bonds,
A thanksgiving sacrifice I make,
I will call on the Lord's name.

My vows to the Lord I will fulfil
Before all his people
In the courts of the house of the Lord.

Both now and forever,

At the end of the ages.

GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER

God loves a cheerful giver,
give all you've got
He loves to hear you laughing.
When you're in an awkward spot.
When the odds add up against you,
\tit's time to stop and sing:
"Praise God!" To Praise Him
is a joyous thing.

Peter always made a fuss, Peter was impetuous,
He knew hard times when he denied his Lord,
But hardly had he fallen
when he got right up began again,
Christ named him His successor as his reward.

Jonah was a gloomy sort,
he always had a sad report.
He ran from God, he ran and he set sail,
His journey's end was quite abrupt,
A fish came by and swallowed him up,
He spent three dark and dreary days
inside the whale.

Holy job was richly blessed,
He lost it all but stood the test,
For Job was steadfast in his misery,
"God gives to me, He takes away,
Blessed be the name of God this day,"
And he was doubly blessed for his fidelity.

The Lord's voice shaking the wilderness,
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh;

in the light of his word
What a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his good will,
he abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey,

To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies
But his smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share
But our toil he doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss, not a crown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delight of his love
Until all on the Altar we lay,
For the favour he shows, and the joy he bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

AMAZING GRACE (PSALM 100)

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come:
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

Remould them, make us like Thee, divine:
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be,
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Which forth from thee doth flow;

And better hear bestow.

CHRIST IS MY ROCK

Christ is my Rock, my Refuge, my Stronghold,
Firm as the tree's root that clutches the land.
He who has faith builds without worry,
Not like the man who builds upon sand.
I set my house on a solid foundation:
Christ is my rock,
the root of my soul's recreation.

I know a man who love to live free,
He pitched his tent by the side of the sea.
It stood near the surf and
was washed by the spray,
Till one day a wave came and washed it away.

I know a man who loved to love high,
He built his castle near up to the sky.
Through summer and spring, it stood pretty well,
When winter wind whistled, it toppled and fell.

I know a man, a cool one to know,
He built his house out of ice and of snow.
In chill isolation, his night work was done,
But it melted away with the warm morning sun.

I know a man who built out of straw,
The flimsiest fellow that I ever saw.
One day a spark set it to flame,
And nothing was left to remember his name.

Share with him his hopes and fears.

Oh when great joy fills your heart,

Walk together hand in hand.

Of the Bread of love, we eat heartily.

GREET WE THIS MYSTERY

Greet we this mystery yearly returning
Still doth its history set our hearts burning:
Gone are the former things,
All shall be new again,
Thoughts, word, actions be true again.

Christ, in the sight of his brethren reclining
On that last night of his, gave them for dining
Bread where no leaven was,
Lamb that was slain for them.
So did Moses ordain for them.

After that offering made for a token
There stood he proffering his body broken,
Now in those hands of his,
Now within reach of them,
Whole for all as for each of them.

His body fortified spirits that sickened;
Hearts sad and mortified his blood requickened;
Drink of this cup that is offered
He said "for you;
Drink my blood that is shed for you."

Waiting for the Bread of life.

He who eats it shall not die.
Come and eat and live forever,
You shall live with God on High.

'Mid the lone and sleepful night,
Sweetly may the guardian angles,
Keep us 'neath their watchful sight.

All the night thy heart is wakeful,
In the Sacrament of love.

Shades of heaven fast are falling,
Day is fading into gloom,
When the shades of death fall round us,
Lead thine exile children home

HIS YOKE IS EASY

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,
He maketh me down to lie, in pastures green,
He leadeth me, the quiet waters by.

His yoke is easy, His burden is light,
I've found it so, I've found it so.
He leadeth me, by day and night,
Where living waters flow.

My soul crieth out: Restore me again,
And give me the strength to take
The narrow path of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's, sake.

Yea, though I should walk in the valley of death
E'en yet will I fear no ill,
For thou art with me and thy rod and staff
Thy comfort me still.

How Lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord of hosts.

To God, the living God.

And the swallow a nest for her brood;

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer,
Give ear, O God of Jacob.

Look on the face of your anointed.

One day within your courts
Is better than a thousand elsewhere,
The threshold of the house of God
I prefer to the dwellings of the wicked.

For the Lord God is a rampart, a shield;
He will give us His favour and glory.
The Lord will not refuse any good
To those who walk without blame.

who trusts in you.

To his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and forever. Amen.

To my sinful heart,
Jesus! I believe it,
On Thy only word;
Kneeling, I adore Thee
As my King and Lord.

Wound Thy Heart again.

Now to be my Guest,

And with fear and trembling stand,
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ, our God, to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.

King of Kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of Lords in human vesture,
In the Body and the Blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms endless day
That the pow'rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph;
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord most high!

When shall I see Him face to face?

I shall go to the house of God

Like the deer that yearns
For running streams,
So my soul is yearning
For you, my God.

My soul is thirsting for God,
The God of my life;
When can I enter and see
The face of God?

My tears have become my bread
By night and by day,
As I hear it said all day long:
"Where is your God?"

Why are you cast down my soul,
Why groan within me?
Hope in God, I will praise Him still
My Saviour and my God.

Praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
Both now and forever,
The God who is, who was and who will be,
World without end.

Thy death we celebrate,
Our lives in self-surrender
To thee we consecrate.

MY SOUL, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD (PSALM 102)

My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
and bless His holy name.

My soul, give thanks to the Lord,
All my being bless His holy name.
My soul give thanks to the Lord,
And never forget all his blessings.

It is he who forgives all your guilt,
Who heals every one of your ills,
Who redeems your life from the grave,
Who crowns you with love and compassion.
Who fills your life with good things,
Renewing your youth like an eagle's.

The Lord does deeds of justice,
Give judgement for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses
And his deeds to Israel's sons.

The Lord is compassion and love,
Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
His wrath will come to an end,
He will not be angry for ever.
He does not treat us according to our sins
Nor repay us according to our faults.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So strong is His love for those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west,
So far does He remove our sins.

As a father has compassion on his sons,
The Lord has pity on those who fear Him.
For He knows of what we are made,
He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass,
He flowers like the flower of the field;
The wind blows and he is gone,
And his place never sees him again.

Give praise to the Father Almighty,
To His Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,
Both now and forever. Amen.

With thy own self in form of bread.

The pledge of immortality;

And every grief with joy repays.

O bond of love, that dost unite
The servant to his loving Lord;
Could I dare live, and not requite
Such love ... Then death were meet reward
I cannot live unless to prove
Some love for such unmeasured love.

To gaze on thee with changeless love;
Yes, thus, I hope thus shall it be,
For how can He deny me heaven
Who here on earth Himself hath given?

Through the desert His people He led,
Great is His love, love without end,

He let Israel inherit their land,
Great is His love, love without end,
On His servant their land He bestowed,

And he snatched us away from our foes,
Great is His love, love without end,

O GODHEAD HID

O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee,
Who truly art within the forms before me;
To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee,
As failing quite in contemplating Thee.

Sight, touch, and taste in Thee
are each deceived;
The ear alone most safely is believed;
I believe all the Son of God has spoken,
Than Truth's own word there is truer token.

God only on the Cross lay hid from view;
But here lies hid at once the Manhood too;
And I, in both professing my belief,
Make the same prayer as the repentant thief.

Thy wounds as Thomas saw, I do not see;
Yet Thee confess my Lord and God to be;
Make me believe Thee ever more and more;
In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store.

O Thou Memorial of our Lord's own dying!
O Bread that living art and vivifying!
Make ever Thou my soul on Thee to live;
Ever a taste of Heavenly sweetness give.

O loving Pelican! O Jesus, Lord!
Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood;
Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt,
Is ransom for a world's entire guilt.

Jesus! whom for the present veil'd I see,
What I so thirst for, Oh, vouchsafe to me:
That I may see Thy countenance unfolding,
And may be blest Thy glory in beholding.

That Thou shouldst come to me.
But speak the word of comfort,

The Bridegroom of my soul,
No more by sin to grieve Thee,
Or flee Thy sweet control.

O Lord, Thou art all holy,
The angels Thee adore;
How, then ought I sincerely,
My wrongs and sins deplore!

But when Thou soon wilt enter,
My heart, my sinful heart,
Then heal me, be my shelter,
For Thou my Saviour art.

O Lord, how can I thank Thee
For such a gift as this?
A gift which truly filleth,
My soul with heav'nly bliss!

I praise Thee, I extol Thee,
I love Thee, O my Sire,
Till once in joy and glory,
In heav'n I'll Thee admire.

And in the depth be praised,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.

O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.

O wisest love! that flesh and blood
Which did in Adam fail,
Should strive afresh against their foe,
Should strive and should prevail.

And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
And essence all divine.

O generous love! that he who smote
In man for man the foe,
The double agony in man
For man should undergo.

And in the garden secretly,
And on the cross on high,
Should teach his brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die.

Praise to the holiest in the height
And in the depth be praise,
In all his words most wonderful,
Most sure in all his ways.

ROCK OF AGES

Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.

Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone:\t
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to The Cross I cling!
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Sweet light, so shine on us, we pray
That earthly joys may fade away,

TAKE ME AS I AM

Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
Unless Thou help me, I must die!
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

And take me as I am, and take me as I am,
My only plea ... Christ died for me!
Oh, take me as I am.

Helpless I am, and full of guilt;
But yet for me Thy blood was spilt,
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
And take me as I am.

No preparation can I make,
My best resolves I only break,
Yet save me for Thine own name's sake,
And take me as I am.

Behold me, Saviour at thy feet;
Deal with me as Thou see-est me;
Thy work begin, Thy work complete,
And take me as I am.

For he is near the crushed of heart,
Many troubles oppress the just,
But the Lord saves his people from all evil.

THE CHURCH IS WHERE MEN ARE

The Church is where men are,
For there we find Christ,
He's hidden behind ev'ry face we behold.
By saying we're christians,
We must be on guard because
through our actions,
the truth will unfold.

Let our light shine for all to see,
Serving both friend and enemy.
Since He died for us, let us live for Him
and be His disciples eternally.

The Church is where Christ is,
And Christ dwells in men;
And folks ev'ry where are made by the Lord,
What we do to others we do to Him,
By judging our neighbour, we spell our reward.

The Church is where men are,
And we are the Church.
It is from the fruit one discovers the tree.
We are silent witnesses, living the Mass,
By taking him with us wherever we be.

In the sight of my foes.

E'en for his own name sake.

Hosts on high his pow'r proclaim;
Heav'n and earth and all creation,
Praise and magnify His name.

SEND FORTH BY GOD'S BLESSING

Sent forth by God's blessing,
our true faith confessing,
The People of God from his dwelling take leave,
God's sacrifice ended, O now be extended;
The fruit of this Mass in all hearts who believe,
The seed of his teaching,
our inner souls reading,
Shall blossom in action for God and for man.
His grace shall incite us,
His love shall unite us,
To further his kingdom by God's holy plan.

With Praise and thanksgiving,
to God who is living.
The tasks of our ev'ryday life we embrace.
Our faith ever sharing, in love ever caring;
We claim as our brothers all men of each race.
One Bread that has fed us,
one light that has led us,
Unite us as one in His life that we share
Then may all the living,
with praise and thanksgiving,
Give honour to Christ and
His name that we bear.

SWEET SAVIOUR, BLESS US ERE WE GO

Sweet Saviour bless us ere we go,
Thy word into our minds instil,
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will.

Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our light.

The day is done, its hours have run,
And thou hast taken strValue of all,
The scanty triumphs grace has won
The broken vow, the frequent fall.

Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release,
And bless us more than in past days
With purity and inward peace.

Do more than pardon, give us joy,
Sweet fear and sober liberty,
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like thee.

Labour is sweet, for thou hast toiled,
And care is light for thou hast cared,
Let not our words with self be soiled,
Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.

For all we love ... the poor, the sad,
The sinful ... unto these we call,
Oh let thy mercy make us glad,
Thou art our Jesus and our all.

THE MASS IS ENDED

The Mass is ended, all go in peace,
We must diminish and Christ increase,
We take him with us where'er we go,
That through our action his life may show.

We witness his love to everyone,
By our communion with Christ his Son,
We take the Mass to where men may be,
So Christ may shine forth for all to see.

The Lord Supreme and God of all;
Against his foes we raise his standard,
Around the Cross we hear his call.

Strengthen our faith Redeemer,

WHERE TWO OR THREE

Where two or three are gathered together
for my sake,
there am I in the midst of them.

If you come to eat,
If you come to play,
If you come to work, or
If you come to pray.

If you walk in love,
As I told you to,
When you can call my name,
I will be there with you.

If your skin is dark,
If your skin is light,
You are in my heart,
And you are in my sight.

WONDERFUL IS YOUR HANDIWORK (PSALM 8: 1 ... 4)

When I look at the work of your hands,
Wonderful, wonderful is your handiwork.

Lord, our God, glorious is your name,
Blazoned through all the earth.
Even the infants your power proclaim
And babes at new birth.

When I look at the heavens above,
The moon and the stars you have set,
What is man that you show him love
And never forget?

Your dominion you let him share,
Of creatures of field and stall.
Fish of the sea and birds of the air,
For him you made all.

🎼 HYMN 156 Advent
COME LORD JESUS, THE LIGHT IS DYING

Come Lord Jesus, the light is dying,
The night keeps crying, come Lord Jesus.

Christ, come quickly,
There's danger at the door,
Poverty a-plenty
Hearts gone wild with war,
There's hunger in the city
And famine on the plain.

Want demands a hearing,
In far too many lands,
The sick go unattended,
Death deals a heavy hand
The dreams of all are empty,
Their cup of sorrow full.

The world awaits in darkness
A mighty burst of light,
To set the lame man leaping,
To give the blind man sight,
We have the prophets' promise.
We await the Prince of peace.

The clouds shall send a Saviour
Like softly falling rain,
Yet mighty in his power,
To free us from our chains.
His shield will be compassion,
His weapon liberty.

🎼 HYMN 157 Advent
COME THOU LONG EXPECTED SAVIOUR

Come thou long expected Saviour,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee,
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Fond desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious Kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit;
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

🎼 HYMN 158 Advent
DEAR MAKER OF THE STARRY SKIES

Dear maker of starry skies,
Light never lost by faithful eyes,
Christ, the salvation sent to all,
Be near thy servants when they call.

Thy love that pitied from on high,
A guilty race foredoomed to die,
Was pain that sentence to repeal,
Those failing energies to heal.

So, at the eventide of earth,
From that bridechamber of thy birth,
Our mortal flesh thou didst assume,
Born of a spotless Virgin's womb.

O thou, at whose august decree,
Once heard, creation bends the knee,
While heaven and earth obey thy will,
Trembling before thee, and are still.

Holiest of holy ones, from whom
Eternity receives its doom,
In this brief world of time, we pray,
Keep Satan's treacherous darts at bay.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Glory and power and majesty
Through everlasting ages be.

🎼 HYMN 159 Advent
EMMANUEL

O come we are waiting, x)
Emmanuel.

All who walk in darkness,
Will see a great light,
On a land of deep shadow,
A bright light will shine,
There will be rejoicing,
Like men sharing spoil,
The rod of oppression,
He'll break and destroy.

A sign God will give us,
A maid is with child,
He'll choose only goodness,
And evil destroy,
And the ruling of nations,
On His shoulders will dwell,
And He shall be called Emmanuel.

The peace He will bring us,
It never will end,
O'er the kingdom of David,
His power will extend;
His justice and mercy
Will never more cease,
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace.

A shoot springs from Jesse,
A branch from it stems,
And the spirit of Yahweh
Shall rest upon him.
With the poor and the meek,
His justice will stay,
With the breath from his lips
The wicked he'll slay.

The wolf and the leopard,
With the lamb they shall lie,
The lion and the calf
Shall be led by a boy,
On the nest to the viper,
The young child shall trod,
For the earth shall be filled
With the knowledge of God.

🎼 HYMN 160 Advent
HAIL O MARY FULL OF GRACE

Hail O Mary full of grace,
Daughter true of David's race,
Thou of women first and best,
Art beyond all others blest.

Fear not, thou shalt bear a Son,
Aided by the Holy One,
Greater than the greatest,
He Son of God most high shall be.

Thus the Holy Angel said.
Blessed Mary bowed her head,
Lo! the handmaid of the Lord,
With His word may all accord.

So to hearts still undefiled,
Comes this promise of a Child,
Full of joy akin to tears,
Full of hope, yet full of tears.

Happy she who answers still,
Be it Lord at thy sweet will,
All I am to thee I owe,
All thy purpose thou dost know.

What thou givest to be mine,
May it ne'er be aught but mine,
Be it good or be it ill,
Still be all at thy sweet will.

Holy Mary, taught by thee,
Let us vain forboding flee,
God is giving fear must cease,
In His will is perfect peace.

🎼 HYMN 161 Advent
O COME, THOU WISDOM WHOSE DECREE

O come, thou wisdom whose decree,
Doth govern all things peacefully,
The way of prudence here below,
And life hereafter deign to show.

Rejoice, rejoice Emmanuel,
Is born to save thee, Israel.

O come, thou everlasting Lord,
Who once by Israel's host adored,
Thy dread commandment madest known,
In majesty of glory show.

O Rod of Jesse, mystic bough,
From Satan's cruel snares do thou,
From death's grim dungeon, we implore
And hell's abyss thine own restore.

O come, thou Key of David's store,
Unlock the heavenly gates once more;
Safe journey to thy courts bestow,
And shut the way that leads below.

O come, thou Daystar seen on high,
With healing for our hearts draw nigh;
Do thou the mists of night dispel,
And death's foreboding darkness quell.

O come, of Gentile hearts the King,
A world that needs thee ransoming,
And save thy servants, who confess
With humbled hearts their faithlessness.

O come, o come, Emmanuel,
Redeem thy captive Israel,
That doth in exile homeless mourn,
Until her Saviour Christ be born.

🎼 HYMN 162 Advent
THE COMING OF OUR GOD

The coming of our God
Our thought must now employ,
Then let us meet him on the road
With songs of holy joy.

The co-eternal Son
A maiden's offspring see,
A servant's form Christ put on
To set his people free.

Daughter of Sion, rise
To greet thine infant King,
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon he doth bring.

In glory from his throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all that are his own
To joys that never end.

Let deeds of darkness fly
Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die
And serve the Virgin born.

Our joyful praise sing
To Christ, that set us free,
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to thee.

WE LONG TO SEE THEE SO

To see the newly Born
We long for Christmas morn,
The sands of time run slow.

O come, O come, O come,
Our Saviour dear to be,
O come, O come, O come,
We have no King but thee.

We long to see Thee so,
To see the Angels glory,
To hear their midnight story,
And with Thee Shepherds go.

We long to see Thee so,
No other joys can please us,
We want Thee Baby Jesus,
The sands of time run slow.

🎼 HYMN 164 Advent
WHEN HE COMES BACK

When he comes back, x)
Our lamps will be burning to welcome him
When he comes back.

The Master has promised that he will return
On a night when there's no one expecting
to see him at all,
Keep oil in the lamps so they're ready to burn
On the night of his secret,
when those who are waiting he'll call.

Look not for the Master in heaven's dark space,
By the light of our living on earth
we'll discover his face,
The face of the Master is always at hand:
In the face of the stranger, the poor,
in the face of a man.

This stranger will search for his home
in the night;
And then how will he find it
unless all the windows are bright?
But if we are waiting ... why then he'll come in
And there'll be a homecoming
with dancing and singing within.

🎼 HYMN 165 Christmas
ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY

Angels, from the reams of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye, who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth,
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night.
God in man is now residing:
Yonder shines the Infant light,
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions gleam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star,
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

Saint before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord descending,
In His temple shall appear,
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain.

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your joyous song.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the angles sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the new-born king.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

🎼 HYMN 167 Christmas
AS WITH GLADNESS MEN OF OLD

As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold,
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Ever more be Led to Thee.

As with joyful steps they sped
Saviour to Thy lowly bed,
There to bend the knee before Thee,
Whom heav'n and earth adore;
So many we with willing feet
Ever seek thy mercy-seat.

Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down,
There for ever may we sing
Hallelujah to our King.

🎼 HYMN 168 Christmas
AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down
where He lay;
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky;
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus: I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care;
And fit us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

🎼 HYMN 169 Christmas
BETHLEHEM! OF NOBLEST CITIES

Bethlehem! Of noblest cities,
None can once with thee compare;
Thou alone, the Lord from heaven,
Didst for us incarnate bear.

Fairer than the sun at morning,
Was the star that told His birth;
To the lands their God announcing,
Hid beneath a form of earth.

By its lambent beauty guided,
See, the eastern kings appear;
See them bend, their gifts to offer,
Gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh.

Solemn things of mystic meaning!
Incense doth the God disclose;
Gold a royal Child proclaimeth;
Myrrh a future tomb foreshows.

Holy Jesus, in thy brightness,
To the gentile world display'd,
With the Father and the Spirit,
Endless praise to thee be paid.

🎼 HYMN 170 Christmas
CHRISTMAS COMES TO BLESS

Christmas comes to bless the earth,
With its wondrous heavenly birth,
Bright and high the dawning light,
Burning through the gloom of night.

God hath come with men to dwell,
In this message hard to tell,
God the Son, the one Divine,
Sent below from heaven thine.

Glory to the Father be,
Sing the angels all to thee,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
All in one our praises most.

🎼 HYMN 171 Christmas
COME, ROCK THE CRADLE FOR HIM

Come, rock the cradle for Him,
Come, in the crib adore Him,
Dull care, I pray you, bury:
And in the Lord make merry,
Sweet little Jesu, sweet little Jesu.

Come rock his cradle lowly,
The throne of God all holy:
Come worship and adore Him,
And kneel we down before Him,
Sweet little Jesu, Sweet little Jesu.

Do nothing to annoy Him,
But everything to joy Him:
For sin by night or morrow,
Would cause Him pain and sorrow,
Sweet little Jesu, sweet little Jesu.

So at your hour of dying,
This Babe in cradle lying,
For He is king supernal'
Shall grant you rest eternal,
Sweet little Jesu, sweet little Jesu.

🎼 HYMN 172 Christmas
GOD REST YOU MERRY, GENTLEMEN

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God, our heav'nly Father,
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.

When l was a learner,
l sought both night and day;
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the way.

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er wand'ring flocks at night;
Behold from out of heavens
There came a holy light.

Lo, when they had seen it,
They all bowed down and prayed;
They travelled on together
To where the babe was laid.

🎼 HYMN 175 Christmas
HARK! A HERALD VOICE IS SOUNDING

Hark! a herald voice is sounding,
"Christ is nigh!" It seems to say;
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"

Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ her sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.

Lo! the Lamb so long expected,
Come with pardon down from heaven;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven.

So when next he comes with glory,
Shrouding all the earth in fear,
May he then as our defender,
On the clouds of heaven appear.

Honour, glory, virtue, merit,
To the Father and the Son,
With the co-eternal Spirit,
While eternal ages run.

Peace on earth and mercy mild:
God and sinners reconciled.\"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With angelic hosts proclaim,
\"Christ is born in Bethlehem.\"

Hark! the herald angels sing:
\"Glory to the new-born King.\"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth

🎼 HYMN 177 Christmas
HEROD, WHY THRILLS THY HEART

Herod, why thrills thy heart with fear?
The royal Babe thou seekest here
Envies no earthly toys, for he
A heavenly crown doth offer thee.

In haste to Bethlehem that day
The wise men took their star-led way,
Their light to seek, where light doth shew,
Gifts on the Giver to bestow.

Killed at the tyrant's anxious call,
For Christ a thousand victims fall;
And mothers' hearts the piteous tale
Of murdered innocents bewail.

Lo, dipped in Jordan's cleansing stream,
The Lamb of God would whiter seem;
Yet 'twas our sins, in foul array,
He bore, and bearing washed away.

Marvels the Pharisees refute
That would his heavenly birth dispute;
The sick no more with fever burn,
And at his voice the dead return.

New evidence of Wondrous power
Behold in Cana's marriage-dower;
Swift its own nature to resign,
The water blushes into wine.

🎼 HYMN 178 Christmas
JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ.
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world, with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove,
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders, and wonders of his love.

What did she name him Lord?
What did she name him, yes, my Lord;
And the angels in the heavens are singing.

Named him King Jesus, yes, my Lord,
Named him King Jesus, Lord,
Named him King Jesus, yes, my Lord;
And the angels in the heavens are singing.

Where was he born, yes, my Lord,
Where was he born, Lord?
Where was he born, yes, my Lord;

Born in a manger, yes, my Lord,
Born in a manger, Lord,
Born in a manger, yes, my Lord;
And the angels in the heavens are singing.

MARY'S BOY CHILD

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible says,
Mary's Boy Child Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now hear the angels sing,
A new King born today,
And man will live for evermore,
Because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
They heard a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar.

Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
Came to Bethlehem that night,
She found no place to bear her child,
Not a single room was in sight.

By and by they found a little nook,
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.

🎼 HYMN 181 Christmas
O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels:

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above,
Glory to God
In the highest glory:

Saviour, we greet you,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to you be all glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in the flesh appearing.

🎼 HYMN 182 Christmas
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin;
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

🎼 HYMN 183 Christmas
ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY

Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all;
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall,
With the poor and mean and lowly,
Lived on earth, our Saviour holy.

And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in Heaven above;
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.

Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by;
We shall see Him but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high.
When like star His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.

🎼 HYMN 184 Christmas
SEE AMID THE WINTER'S SNOW

Hail thou ever-blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

See, amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.

Lo, within a manger lies,
He, who built the starry skies,
He, who throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the Cherubim.

Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today,
Wherefore have ye left your sheep,
On the lonely mountain steep.

As we watched at dead of night,
Lo, we saw a wondrous light,
Angels singing "peace on earth,
Told us of the Saviour's birth.\"

Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss,
Down to such a world as this

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon Virgin Mother and Child;
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia.
Christ, the Saviour, is born,
Christ, the Saviour, is born.

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from your holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth!

SLEEP HOLY BABE

Sleep Holy Babe,
Upon thy Mother's breast,
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.

Sleep Holy Babe,
Thine angels watch around;
All bending low with folded wings,
Before th' Incarnate King of Kings,
In reverent awe profound.

Sleep Holy Babe,
While I with Mary gaze,
In joy upon that face awhile,
Upon the loving Infant smile,
Which there divinely plays.

Sleep Holy Babe,
Ah, take thy brief repose;
Too quickly will thy slumbers break
And thou to lengthened pains awake,
That death alone shall close.

O Lady blest,
Sweet Virgin hear my cry;
Forgive the wrong that I have done
To Thee, in causing thy dear Son
Upon the Cross to die.

🎼 HYMN 187 Christmas
THE FIRST NOEL

The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night,
That was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They look'd above and there saw a star,
That shone in the east beyond them afar,
And which to earth did give great light,
And so it continued by day and night.

And by the light of that same Star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew near to the north-west,
At length over Bethlehem seemed to rest,
And there it stayed by night and by day,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Then entered in those wise men three
Most reverently with bended knee;
And offered there in His presence,
Both gold and myrrh with frankincense.

Then let us all with one accord,
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That made both heaven and earth of nought,
And with His blood mankind has bought

🎼 HYMN 188 Christmas
UNTO US IS BORN A SON

Unto us is born a Son,
Kind of quires supernal,
See on earth His life begun,
Of lords the Lord eternal.

Christ, from heav'n descending low,
Comes on earth a stranger;
Ox and ass their Owner know
Be cradled in a manger.

This did Herod sore affray,
And grievously bewilder;
So he gave the word to slay,
And slew the little children.

Of his love and mercy mild
This the Christmas story:
And O that Mary's gentle Child
Might lead us up to glory!

O and A and A and O.
Cum cantibus in choro.
Let the merry organ go,
Benedicamus Domino.

🎼 HYMN 189 Christmas
WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT

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 forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God most 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,
Alleluia, alleluia! Earth to
the heaven replies.

🎼 HYMN 190 Christmas
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground;
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.

"Fear not!" said he ... for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind, -
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind."

To you, in David's town, this day,
Is born of David's line
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign.

"The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid.\"

Thus spoke the seraph ... and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song.

"All glory be to God on high!
And on the earth be peace!
Good-will hence forth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease!\"

🎼 HYMN 191 Lent
ALL YOU WHO SEEK A COMFORT SURE

All you who seek a comfort sure
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow vex the mind,
Or guilt the soul oppress.

Jesus, who gave Himself for you
Upon the Cross to die,
Opens to you His Sacred Heart;
Oh, to that heart draw nigh.

You hear how kindly He invites;
You hear His words so blest:
\"All you that labour, come to Me,
And I will give you rest.\"

What meeker than the Saviour's heart
As on the Cross He lay?
It did His murderers forgive
And for their pardon pray.

🎼 HYMN 192 Lent
BLESSED LAMB!

Blessed Lamb! on Calvary's mountain
Slain to take our sins away:
Let the drops of that rich fountain,
Our tremendous ransom pay:
Sacred Saviour! Sacred Saviour!
Lowly at thy feet we pray.

Blessed Lamb! vouchsafe us pardon,
In thy love our souls confide:
By thy groans within the garden,
By the death which thou hast died,
Let thy Passion - Let thy Passion,
Evermore with us abide!

So shall peace, sweet peace be given,
Purchase of thy precious pain;
So shall earth but lead to heaven,
Since for us the Lamb was slain:
Dear Redeemer! Dear Redeemer!
Thou canst not have died in vain.

🎼 HYMN 193 Lent
GLORY BE TO JESUS

Glory be to Jesus,
Who in bitter pains
Pour'd 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 endless torment,
Doth the world redeem.

There the fainting spirit,
Drinks of life her fill,
There as in a fountain,
Leaves herself at will.

Abel's blood for vengeance,
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus,
For our pardon cries.

Often as it is sprinkled,
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion,
Terror-struck departs.

Often as earth exalting,
Wafts its praise on high,
Hell with horror tremble;
Heav'n is fill'd with joy.

Lift ye, then, your voices;
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder,
Praise the precious blood.

🎼 HYMN 194 Lent
GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION

God of mercy and compassion,
Look with pity upon me;
Father, let me call thee Father,
Tis thy child returns to thee.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy,
Let me not implore in vain;
All my sins I now detest them,
Never will I sin again.

By my sins I have deserved,
Death and endless misery;
Hell with all its pains and torments,
And for all eternity.

By my sins I have abandoned,
Right and claim to heaven above;
Where the saint rejoice forever,
In a boundless sea of love.

See our Saviour, bleeding, dying,
On the Cross of Calvary;
To that Cross my sins have nailed him,
Yet he bleeds and dies for me.

🎼 HYMN 195 Lent
GOD OUR FATHER, FORGIVE OUR SINS

God our Father, forgive our sins,
For we are very weak,
God our Father, we hope in Thee
Throughout our lives.

Remember the Lord,
The King of earth,
And of the sea,
Of heaven above. (dc)

Lord, show us thy way,
To do according to thy will.
Lord, show us thy way,
To be ever worth love of thee.

Christ our Redeemer,
We pray to love, to save thy children;
Christ our Redeemer to be our tongue,
To our heavenly King.

Let us be righteous in Communion,
As Body of Christ,
Let us be righteous to overcome,
The devil's work.

Wash away our sins with thy tongue,
And precious blood,
Wash away our sins,
To save us from the death of hell.

Mary our Mother pray for us thy children,
On earth,
Mary our Mother,
Give us on earth a Mother's care.

🎼 HYMN 196 Lent
JESUS, MY LORD, BEHOLD AT LENGTH THE DAY

Jesus, my Lord, behold at length the day,
When I resolve from sin to turn away.

O pardon me, Jesus;
Thy mercy I implore;
I will never more offend thee,
No, never more.

Since my poor soul thy precious Blood has cost;
Suffer it not to be forever lost.

Kneeling in tears, behold me at thy feet:
Like Magdalene, forgiveness I entreat.

🎼 HYMN 197 Lent
MAN OF SORROWS WRAPT IN GRIEF

Man of sorrows wrapt in grief,
Bow thine ear to our relief;
Thou for us the path hast trod
Of the dreadful wrath of God;
Thou the cup of fire hast drained
Till its light alone remained.
Lamb of love! we look to thee:
Hear our mournful litany.

By the garden, fraught with woe,
Whither thou full oft wouldst go;
By thine agony of prayer
In the desolation there;
By the dire and deep distress
Of that mystery fathomless -
Lord, our tears in mercy see:
Hearken to our litany.

By the chalice brimming o'er
With disgrace and torment sore;
By those lips which fain would pray
That it might but pass away;
By the heart which drank it dry,
Lest a rebel race should die -
Be thy, pity, Lord, our plea:
Hear our solemn litany.

Man of sorrows! let thy grief
Purchase for us our relief;
Lord of mercy! bow thine ear,
Slow to anger, swift to hear;
By the Cross's royal road
Lead us to the throne of God.
There for aye to sing to thee
Heaven's triumphant litany.

🎼 HYMN 198 Lent
MY GOD I LOVE YOU

My God, I love you - though there were
No heaven for me to win,
No hell to punish those who dare
Against your love to sin.

Upon the Cross your wide embrace
Made me, dear Lord, your own;
The nails, the spear, the long disgrace
For me should all atone.

That night of fear, those hours of pain,
Those bitter griefs of yours,
That death itself was borne, to gain
A sinner's love 'twas mine.

And shall the fear of hell below
Or hope of heaven above
Be all the reason heart can know
This loving Lord to love.

The love that asks not anything,
Love like your own love free,
Jesus I give, who are my king,
Who are my God, to you.

🎼 HYMN 199 Lent
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE

Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee,
Even though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Deep in Thy Sacred Heart
Let me abide:
Thou that hast bled for me,
Sorrowed and died.
Sweet shall my weeping be,
Grief surely leading me
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer to thee.

Friends may depart from me,
Night may come down;
Clouds of adversity
Darken and frown;
Still through my tears I'll see
Hope gently leading me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to thee.

🎼 HYMN 200 Lent
O COME AND MOURN WITH ME A WHILE

O come and mourn with me a while,
See Mary calls us to her side;
O come and let us mourn with her,
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

Have we no tears to shed for Him;
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah! look how patiently He hangs;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

How fast His feet and hands are nailed;
His blessed tongue with thirst is tied;
His failing eyes are blind with blood;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

Seven times He spoke, seven words of love,
And all three hours His silence cried
For Mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

O break, O break hard heart of mine;
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
His Pilate and His Judas were;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

A broken heart, a fount of tears,
Ask and they will not be denied;
A broken heart love's cradle is;
Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains with love;
Jesus, our Love is crucified.

🎼 HYMN 201 Lent
br/>SOLE HOPE OF ALL THE WORLD

Sole hope of all the world and Lord,
Bestower of the great reward,
Receive the prayers thy servants raise
Mixed with psalms and chants of praise.

And though our conscience doth proclaim,
Our deep transgressions and our shame,
Cleanse us, O God, we humbly plead,
From sins of thought and word and deed.

Our sins remember thou no more,
Forgive, thy mercy can restore,
So take upon thee Lord, our care,
That pure in heart we make our prayer.

Therefore accept, O Lord, this tide
Of fact which thou hast sanctified,
That we may reach by mystic ways,
The sacraments of Paschal days.

May he who is the threefold Lord
On us confer this high reward,
In whom so long as world abide
One only God is glorified.

🎼 HYMN 202 Lent
WHEN I SURVEY

When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I strValue but loss,
And poor contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See! from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so Divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

🎼 HYMN 203 Lent
AT THE LAMB'S HIGH FEAST WE SING

At the Lamb's high feast we sing,
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide,
Flowing from his pierced side,
Praise we him whose love divine,
Gives the guest his blood for wine,
Gives his body for the feast,
Love the victim, love the priest.

Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go,
Through the wave that drowns the foe,
Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread,
With sincerity and love,
Eat we manna from above.

Mighty Victim from thy sky,
Powers of hell beneath thee lie;
Death is conquered in the fight;
Thou halt brought us life and light;
Now thy banner thou dost wave;
Vanquished Satan and the grave;
Angels join his praise to tell -
See o'erthrown the prince of hell.

Paschal triumpth, Paschal joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From the death of sin set free,
Souls re-born, dear Lord, in thee;
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.

🎼 HYMN 204 Easter
CHRIST AROSE

Low in the grave He lay,
Jesus my Saviour!
Waiting the coming day,

With a mighty triumph o'er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His Saints to reign
He arose! He arose!
Alleluia! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed,

Vainly they seal! the dead,

He tore the bars away,

Trembling crowds the wonder own,
What though hardened some abide,
And the Holy work deride?
Mystic hour, when Easter's sun,
Seven times seven its course hath run;

Hail thy day of jubilee.

With their children still abide;
Grant us pardon, grant us peace,
Till our earthly wandering cease.

Come, thou light of all that live!

Dost refreshing peace bestow.

NEW PRAISES BE GIVEN

New praises be given to Christ newly crowned,
Who back to his heaven a new way hath found,
God's blessedness sharing before us he goes
What mansions preparing, what endless repose.

His glory still praising on thrice holy ground,
The apostles stood gazing, his mother around,
With hearts that beat faster,
With eyes full of love,
They watched while their Master
ascended above.

"No star can disclose him,"
The bright angels said;
Eternity knows him, your conquering head
Those high habitations he leaves not again,
Till judging nations, on earth he shall reign.

Thus spoke they, and straightway,
Where legions defend
Heaven's glittering gateway.
Their Lord they attend,
And cry, looking thither, you portals let down
For him who rides hither, in peace and renown.

The Lord that all his foes o'ercame,
The world, sin, death and hell o'erthrew,
And Jesus is the conqueror's name,
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.

There his triumphal chariot waits
And angels chant the solemn lay,
Lift up your heads ye heavenly gates,
Ye everlasting doors give way.

Loose all your hearts in massy light,
And wide unfold the etherial scene,
He claims these mansions as his right,
Receive the King of glory in.

Nor dread your terrors more.

I know that my Redeemer lives,
And reigns above the skies,

And bid my body rise,
Then clothed in my own glorious flesh,

YE SONS AND DAUGHTERS

Al-le-lu-ya, al-le-lu-ya, al-le-lu-ya.

Ye sons and daughters of the Lord!
The King of glory, king adored,
This day himself from death restored. Alleluya!

All in the early morning grey
Went holy women on their way,
To see the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluya!

Of spices pure a precious store
In their pure hands those women bore,
To anoint the sacred body o'er. Alleluya!

Then straightway one in white they see,
Who saith, "Ye seek the Lord; but he
Is risen, and gone to Galilee." Alleluya!

This told they Peter, told they John;
Who forthwith to the tomb are gone,
But Peter is by John outrun. Alleluya!

That self-same night, while out of fear
The doors were shut, their Lord most dear,
To His apostles did appear. Alleluya!

But Thomas, when of this he heard,
Was doubtful of his brethrens word;
Wherefore again there comes the Lord. Alleluya!

"Thomas behold my side," saith He;
"My hands my feet, my body see,
And doubt not; but believe in me." Alleluya!

When Thomas saw that wounded side,
The truth no longer he denied;
"Thou art my Lord and God" he cried. Alleluya!

Oh, blest are they who have not seen
Their Lord, and yet believe in him!
Eternal life awaiteth them. Alleluya!

Now let us praise the Lord most high,
And strive His name to magnify
On this great day, through earth and sky. Alleluya!

Whose mercy ever runneth o'er;
Who men and angel hosts adore;
To Him be glory evermore. Alleluya!

ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.

I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can fool the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cold and sunshine, Lord,
\tabide with me.

I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness,
Where is death's sting? Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me
\tto the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks,
\tand earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord abide with me.

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down,
Before he's called a man,
How many seas must a white dove sail,
Before he sleeps in the sand,
How many times must the canon balls fly,
Before they're forever banned.

The answer my friend,
\tis blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist,
Before it's washed in the sea,
How many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free,
How many times can a man turn his head,
And pretend he just doesn't see.

How many times must a man look up,
Before he can see the sky,
How many ears must one have,
Before he can hear people cry,
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died.

COME DOWN, LORD

Come down Lord, my son is ill,
Wracked with fever the livelong day

Wracked with bloodshed the livelong day,

DEAR ANGEL, EVER AT MY SIDE

Dear angel, ever at my side,
How loving must thou be,
To leave thy home in heaven to guard
A sinful child like me!

For I have felt thee in my thoughts
Fighting with sin for me;
And when my heart loves God,
I know the sweetness is from thee.

And when, dear spirit, I kneel down
Morning and night to prayer,
Something there is within my heart
Which tells me thou art there.

Yet! when I pray thou prayest too,
Thy prayer is all for me;
But when I sleep thou sleepest not,
But watchest patiently.

Then, for thy sake
More humble will I be;
But I am weak, and when I fall,
O weary not of me.

Born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away! Jesu is mine!

Farewell, ye dreams of night, Jesus is mine!
Lost in this dawning Light, Jesus is mine!

FROM EVERY STORMY WIND

From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.

There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads -
A place than all beside more sweet;
It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.

There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friends hold fellowship with friends,
Though sundered far, by faith they meet,
Around one common mercy-seat.

There, there, on eagle wings we soar,
And sense and sin molest no more;
And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

Oh, let my hand be cold, and still,
My tongue be silent, cold and still,
This pounding heart forget to beat,
If I forget the mercy-seat.

FULL IN THE PANTING HEART OF ROME

Full in the panting heart of Rome,
Beneath the apostle's crowning dome,
From pilgrims' lips that kiss the ground,
Breathes in all tongues one only sound:
"God bless our Pope, the great, the good."

The golden roof, the marble walls,
The Vatican's majestic halls,
The note redouble, till it fills
With echoes sweet the seven hills:

Then surging through each hallowed gate,
Where martyrs glory, in peace, await;
It sweeps beyond the solemn plain,
Peals over Alps, across the main:

From torrid south to frozen north,
That wave harmonious stretches forth,
Yet strikes no chord more true to Rome's
Than rings within our hearts and homes:

GO TELL EVERYONE

God's spirit is in my heart;
He has called me and set me apart,
This is what I have to do,

Tell prisoners that they are prisoners no more,
Tell blind people that they can see,
And set the downtrodden free,
And go tell ev'ryone the news that

And go tell ev'ryone

O'er earth's green fields,
And ocean's wave beat shore;
How sweet the truth those blessed
\tstrains are telling,
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.

Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.

Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
Come, weary soul, for Jesus bids you come,
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home.

Far, faraway, like bell at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea,
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing
King shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee.

Rest comes at length,
Though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn and darksome
\tnight be past;
All journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And Heaven, the heart's true home,
Will come at last.

Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above,
While we toil on, .
And sooth ourselves with weeping.
Till life's long night shall break in endless love.

HARK! HOW THE BANKS OF JORDAN RING

Hark! how the banks of Jordan ring,
The Baptist's utterance echoing!
Your drowsy slumbers cast away,
Those warning accents to obey.

The conscious earth, and sea and sky,
Welcomes his advent from on high,
Who did their groaning fabric build,
With pangs of expectation thrilled.

And shall our hearts unpurified,
The coming of their King abide?
Strew all his path, and lodging meet,
Prepare a royal guest to greet.

Jesus, our souls with health endow;
Our strength and consolation you;
Creatures of earth without your aid,
We languish like the flowers that fade.

Stretch out your hand, we faint no more;
The fallen to their feet restore,
Show but your face, and wintry earth,
Shall bring her dallying flowers to birth.

Jesus, our ransomer divine,
Let praise beyond all praise be yours;
Praise to the Father endlessly,
And his life-giving Spirit be.

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say:

Though Satan should buffet,
Though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control;
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and hath shed his own blood for my soul.

My sin, O the bliss, of this glorious tho't,
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound
and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

The distant scene; one step enough for me.

Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.

So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on

The night is gone,
And with the morn those Angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

MAN IS LONELY BY BIRTH

Man is lonely by birth,
Man is only a pilgrim on earth,
Born to be king, time is but a temporary thing,
Only on loan while on earth.

Like the wind in the tree,
Man has been rather reckless and free,
Thrown far and wide, he longs to settle down
Beside the stream flowing through eternity.

Like the grass on the lawn,
He will pass by the way and be gone,
A lesson to learn, we walk
\tbut once there's no return,
Time is always moving on.

Man is longing for one,
For a song and a place in the sun,
For home up above where ev'ry day
\tis lived in love.
For rest when the journey is done.

NOW THAT THE DAY-STAR GLIMMERS

Now that the day-star glimmers bright,
We suppliantly pray
That he, the uncreated light,
May guide us on our way.

No sinful word, nor deed of wrong,
Nor thoughts that idly rove;
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.

And, while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates, beleaguer'd by the foe: -
The gate of every sense.

And grant that to thine honour, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend;
That we begin it at thy word,
And in thy blessing end.

And, lest the flesh in its excess
Should loard it o'er the soul,
Let taming abstinence repress
The rebel, and control.

To God the Father glory be,
And to his only Son,
And to the Spirit, One in Three,
While endless ages run.

May Peter's faith unyielding,
The path to Heaven foreshew.

That citadel surrounding,
The angry foreman raves;
Upon that rock resounding,
Dash high the sullen waves.

Yet Lord, in siege laborious,
Though hell itself should rage,
Thou wondrous, thou victorious,
Art known from age to age.

We trust thy conquering power,
Now and in time to be,
The gift of peace to shower,
On those who trust in Thee.

Still, still with light supernal,
Those battlement shall gleam,
And Peter's rock, eternal,
Confront the restless stream.

O PERFECT LOVE

O perfect Love, all human thoughts
transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
That theirs may be the love
Which knows no ending,
Whom thou for evermore dost join in one.

O Perfect Life, be thou their full assurance,
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With child-like trust that fears
nor pain nor death.

Grant them joy which brightens
earthly sorrow,
Grant them the peace which claims
all earthly strife;
And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Hallowed be Thy Name;

As in heaven, so on the earth,
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Give us this day our daily bread,
Hallowed be Thy Name.

And forgive us, all our trespasses,

Hallowed be Thy Name.

And lead us not into temptation,
Hallowed be Thy Name;
But deliver us from all that is evil,
Hallowed be Thy Name.

PRAISE WE OUR GOD WITH JOY

Praise we our God with joy,
And gladness never ending,
Angels and saints with us,
Their grateful voices blending,
He is our Father dear,
O'er filled with parent's love,
Mercies unsought, unknown,
He showers from above.

He is our Shepherd true,
With watchful care unsleeping
On us, his erring sheep,
An eye of pity keeping;
He with a mighty arm
The bonds of sin doth break,
And to our burden'd hearts
In words of peace doth speak.

Grace in copious stream
From that pure fount are welling,
Where, in our heart of hearts,
Our God hath set his dwelling,
His word our lantern is,
His peace our comfort still,
His sweetness all our rest,
Our law, our life, his will.

PRECIOUS PROMISE

Precious promise God hath given
To the weary passer-by,
On the way from earth to heaven,
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
I will guide thee with Mine eye;
On the way from earth to heaven,
I will guide thee with Mine eye.

When temptations almost win thee,
And thy trusted watchers fly,
Let this promise ring within thee:
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

When thy secret hopes have perished
In the grave of years gone by,
Let this promise still be cherished.
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy trusty Leader calling:
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

🎼 HYMN 263 General Hymn
O GOD OF EARTH AND ALTAR

Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.

From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honour and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!

Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee.

SAINT PATRICK

Great and glorious Saint Patrick,
Pray for your dear children,
Great and glorious Saint Patrick,
Hearken to the prayers of your children.

Hibernia's champion saint all hail,
With fadeless glory crowned,
The offspring of your ardent zeal,
This day your praise shall sound.

Borne on the wings of charity,
To Erin's coast you flew,
Bade Satan from her valleys flee,
And his dark shrines o'erthrew.

Wandering thro' error's gloomy night,
Our sires did lose their way,
You cheer'd their hearts with heav'nly light,
With truth's consoling ray.

Oh what a harvest crown your toil,
The earth long curs'd was blessed,
Each lovely virtue graced its soil,
The sinners' heart find rest.

🎼 HYMN 265 General Hymn
TEN LEPERS

Ten unclean and nowhere to go,
Ten men cleansed as clean as snow,
One returned to give God thanks,
But nine went away.

Ten men, lepers in a Hebrew town,
Ten crying: "Lord, won't you please come down"
No hope near, till one fine day,
Jesus of Nazareth passed that way.

"Lord make me clean," was their single cry,
"See, how the whole world passed us by,
No man's home will take us in!"
Then Christ bent to touch their skin.

Like a tree when its buds come true,
Or a patch of spring that is fresh and new,
Christ restored the ones defiled,
Gave them the flesh of a new-born child.

God gives gifts to us ev'ry day,
Favours His people in ev'ry way;
Hope restored and pain relieved, -
Do you ever give thanks for a gift received?

THE FUTURE LIES BEFORE ME

Oh! I often sit and ponder,
When the sun is sinking low,
Where shall yonder future find me
Does but God in Heaven know,
Shall I be among the living,
Shall I mingle with the free,
Wheresoe'er my path be leading,
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee.

Oh! the future lies before me,
And I know not where I'll be,
But where'er my path be leading,
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee.

Shall I be at work with Jesus,
Whilst He Leads me by the hand,
And to those around be saying,
Come and join this happy band.
Come for all things now are ready
Come His faithful followers be,
Oh where'er my path be leading,
Saviour, keep my heart with Thee.

But perhaps my work for Jesus,
Soon in future may be done,
All my earthly trials ended,
And my crown in heaven won,
Then forever with the ransom'd
Thro' eternity l'd be
Chanting nile to Him who bought me,
With His Blood shed on the Tree.

THE WEDDING BANQUET

I cannot come,
I cannot come to the banquet,
Don 't trouble me now,
I have married a wife,
I have bought me a cow,
I have fields and commitments,
That cost a pretty sum,
Pray, hold me excused, I cannot come.

A certain man held a feast,
On his fine estate in town,
He laid a festive table and
\twore a wedding gown,
He sent in invitations,
To his neighbours far and wide,
But when the meal was ready,
Each of them replied:
I cannot come.

The master rose up in anger,
Called his servants by name, said:
"Go into the town, fetch the blind and the lame,
Fetch the peasant and the pauper,
For this I have willed,
My banquet must be crowded,
And my table must be filled."
I cannot come.

When all the poor had assembled,
There was still, room to spare,
So the master demanded:
"Go search everywhere,
To the highways and byways
And force them to come in,
My table must be filled
Before the banquet can begin."
I cannot come.

Now God has written a lesson
For the rest of mankind,
If we're slow in responding,
He may leave us behind,
He's preparing a banquet
For that great and glorious day,
Be certain not to say:
I cannot come.

🎼 HYMN 269 General Hymn
YET I BELIEVE

I believe God lay sleeping in the tomb,
Waiting until the day should break.
I believe my Father has care of me
And someday, He'll say, "My child awake."

I believe man was born to die,
Over and over again,
I believe that man was meant to cry,
"Amen, my Lord, Amen."

I believe that the stars are mine,
Love lifts the stars from the night,
I believe there's always sun to shine,
Though sometimes it's hidden from sight.

I believe man must go alone,
Tossed like a wave on the sea,
Yet I believe that man must have a home,
God holds a mansion for me.

I believe man was born for joy,
Some men must find it in pain,
Some rivers run through caves
\tbeneath the ground,
Sometimes there's sun in the rain.

ZACCHEUS

There was a man in Jerico called Zaccheus,
There was a man in Jerico called Zaccheus,
Now the Hebrews, they were tall,
But Zaccheus, he was small,
Yet the Lord loved Zaccheus,
Better than them all.

The Lord went walking one day
through Jerico town,
And the people began to gather
from miles around,
But Zaccheus, he couldn't see,
So he climbed a sycamore tree,
And the Lord looked up and said:
"Zaccheus, come down."

The Lord said: "Zaccheus,
I am dining with you today,
Zaccheus, I come to your house,
Come, lead the way."
Then Zaccheus, he gave a cheer,
But the people began to sneer,
"This man is a sinner,
Does the Lord seek lodging here?"

Now Zaccheus was small of stature,
But he could show,
That a man who is stout of heart
\tcan grow and grow:
"If I have cheated young and old,
I restore the goods fourfold."
And salvation came that day
to his whole household.

Can refuse to bend the knee,

CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS

Crown him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his throne;
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own;
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King,
Through all eternity.

Crown him the Virgin's Son,
The God incarnate born,
Whose arm those crimson trophies won,
Which now his brow adorn;
Fruit of the mystic rose,
As of that rose the stem,
The root, whence mercy ever flows,
The Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown him the Lord of love;
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

HAIL, JESUS, HAIL!

Hail, Jesus, hail! who for my sake,
Sweet blood from Mary's veins didst take;
And shed it all for me:
Oh, blessed be my Saviour's blood,
My light, my life, my only good,
To all eternity.

To endless ages let us praise,
The precious blood whose price could raise,
The world from wrath and sin;
Whose streams our inward thirst appease,
And heal the sinner's worst disease,
If he but bathe therein.

Oh, Sweetest blood, that can implore,
Pardon of God, and heaven restored,
The heaven which sin had lost;
While Abel's blood for vengeance pleads,
What Jesus shed still intercedes,
For those who wrong him most.

Oh, to be sprinkled from the wells
Of Christ's own sacred blood, excels,
Earth's best and highest bliss;
The ministers of wrath divine,
Hurt not the happy hearts that shine,
With those red drops of his.

Ah, there is joy amid the Saints,
And hell's despairing courage faints,
When this sweet song we raise,
Oh, louder then, and louder still,
Earth with one mighty fill,
The precious blood to praise.

King whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace!

"Praise be Jesus Christ, our King
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea;
King of love on Calvary."

King, whose name creation thrills,
Rule our minds, our hearts, our wills,
Till in peace each nation rings
With thy praises, King of Kings.

King most holy, King of truth,
Guide the lowly, guide the youth,
Christ, O King of glory bright,
Be to us eternal light!

Shepherd-king o'er mountains steep,
Homeward bring your wand'ring sheep;
Shelter in one royal fold,
States and Kingdoms new and old.

For thine endless glory,
And thy royal state.

Hold what worlds cannot
And the God of wonders,
Loves the lowly spot.

Thou art in us now;
Fill us full of goodness,
Till our hearts o'erflow.

JESUS IS GOD!

Jesus is God! The solid earth,
The ocean broad and bright,
The countless stars, the golden dust,
That strew the skies at night,
The wheeling storm, the dreadful fire,
The pleasant wholesome air,
The summer's sun, the winter's frost,
His own creations were.

Jesus is God! The glorious bands
Of golden angels sing,
Songs of adoring praise to Him,
Their Maker and their King.
He was true God in Bethlehem's crib,
On Calvary's Cross true God,
He who in heaven eternal reigned,
In time on earth abode.

Jesus is God! Let sorrow come
And pain, and every ill;
All are worthwhile for all are means,
His glory to fulfill;
Worthwhile a thousand years of life,
To speak one little word,
If by our credo we might own,
The Godhead of our Lord.

Wherefore with my utmost art, I will sing you,
And the dream of all my heart, I will sing you,
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou didst clear me,
And alone when they replied,
You did hear me.

Small it is in this poor sort, to enclose you,
Even eternity's too short to extol you.

What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Oh, what needless pain we bear ...
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness ...
Take it to the Lord in Prayer!

Are we weak and heavy-laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?

Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
In His arms He'll take and shield you
You will find a solace there.

All her feasts, her actions worship,
With the heart's devotion true.

Be her majesty confessed:
Call her Mother, call her Virgin.
Happy Mother, Virgin blest,

She is mighty to deliver:
Call her, trust her lovingly;
When the tempest rages round you,
She will calm the troubled sea.
Gifts of heaven she has given,
Noble Lady! to our race;
She, the Queen, who decks her subjects
With the light of God's own grace.

Sing, my tongue, the Virgin's trophies,
Who for us her Maker bore,
For the curse of old inflicted,
Peace and blessing to restore.
Sing in songs of praise unending,
Sing the world's majestic Queen:
Weary not nor faint in telling
All the gifts she gives to men.

All my senses, heart, affections
Strive to sound her glory forth:
Spread abroad the sweet memorials
Of the Virgin's priceless worth.
Where the voice of music thrilling,
Where the tongues of eloquence,
That can utter nile beseeming
All her matchless excellence?

All our joys do flow from Mary,
All of them join her praise to sing:
Trembling sing the Virgin Mother,
Mother of our Lord and King.
While we sing her awful glory,
Far above our fancy's reach,
Let our hearts be quick to offer
Love the heart alone can teach.

HAIL QUEEN OF HEAVEN

Hail, Queen of heav'n the ocean star,
Guide of the wand'rer here below:
Thrown on life's surge, we claim your care ...
Save us from peril and from woe.

To you, blest advocate, we cry;
Pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
And soothe with hope our misery:

In Godhead One, in Persons Three,
The source of life, of grace, of love,
Homage we pay on bended knee;
Do you, bright Queen, star of the sea,
Pray for your children, pray for me.

Hail, thou star of ocean,
Portal of the sky;
Ever Virgin Mother
Of the Lord most high.
Oh! by Gabriel's Ave, Utter'd long ago,
Eva's name reversing,
'Stablish peace below.

To thy shelter take us;
Gentlest of the gentle,

Greater than the sons of men,
Coming down from highest heaven,
To create the world again.

Link'd with Thee for evermore!

By the hope thy name inspires,
Be our doom reversed through thee,
Help us, Queen of Angel-Choirs,

I'LL SING A 🎼 HYMN TO MARY

I'll sing a hymn to Mary,
The Mother of my God,
The Virgin of all virgins,
Of David's royal blood,
O teach me, holy Mary,
A loving song to frame,
When wicked men blaspheme thee,
To love and bless thy name.

O noble tower of David
Of gold and ivory
The ark of God's own promise,
The gate of Heav'n to me,
To live and not to love thee,
Would fill my soul with shame;
When wicked men blaspheme thee,
I'll love and bless thy name.

The saints are high in glory,
With golden crowns so bright
But brighter far is Mary,
Upon her throne of light,
Oh, that which God did give thee,
Let mortal ne'er disclaim;
When wicked men blaspheme thee
I'll love and bless thy name.

But in the crown of Mary,
There lies a wondrous gem,
As Queen of all the angels,
Which Mary shares with them,
"No sin hath e'er defied thee,"
So doth our faith proclaim,
When wicked men blaspheme thee
I'll love and bless thy name.

Immaculate Mary!
Our hearts are on fire;
That title so wondrous
Fills all our desire.

Ave, ave, ave, Maria;
Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

We pray for God's glory,
May His Kingdom come;
We pray for His vicar,
Our Father and Rome.

We pray for our Mother,
The Church upon earth;
And bless, sweetest Lady,
The Land of our birth.

We pray for all sinners
And souls that now stray,
From Jesus and Mary
In heresy's way.

In grief and temptation,
In joy, or in pain,
We'll seek thee, our Mother,
Nor seek thee in vain.

O bless us, dear Lady,
With blessings from heaven,
And to our petitions
Let answer be given.

Now to God be all glory,
And worship for aye,
And to God's Virgin Mother
And endless Ave.

Our homes and our country
We pray in thy keeping,
To love and to serve Thee
In gladness and weeping.

We pray for the Church
In the hour of her mourning,
We pray for all sinners
Still deaf to Thy warning.

We pray for the Vicar of Christ
On whom presses,
The weight of the world
And its cruel distresses.

O Queen of the Rosary,
Be thou our salvation,
Our refuge in life,
And our true consolation.

MARY, LET PERPETUAL SUCCOUR

Be the answer to our prayer;
For thy Son of all the wretched,
Gives to thee perpetual care.

Ever ready help hast thou,
Let thy children feel it now.

Of our passions we are weary,
Weary of the yoke of sin;
Yet though longing to be holy,
Faint of heart, we ne'er begin.

Though we try to rise, yet ever,
Down in misery we fall;
So like feeble children sadly,
For our Mother's help we call.

Let us feel thy help in sorrow,
Mourners look for joy to thee;
Spurn not God's unhappy creatures,
Whatsoe'er their faults may be.

Succour all, both Priests and people,
Who to thee their homage pay;
Toiling men and praying women,
Help them on thy festal day.

O PUREST OF CREATURES

O purest of creatures,
Sweet Mother, sweet Maid;
The one spotless womb
Wherein Jesus was laid.
Dark night hath come down on us,
Mother, and we
Look out for thy shining,
Sweet Star of the sea.

Deep night hath come down
On this rough-spoken world,
And the banners of darkness
Are boldly unfurled;
And the tempest-tossed Church,
All her eyes are on thee,
They look to thy shining
Sweet Star of the sea.

He gazed on thy soul,
It was spotless and fair,
For the empire of sin,
It had never been there;
None ever had owned thee,
Dear Mother but He,
And He blest thy clear shining,
Sweet Star of the sea.

Earth gave Him one lodging,
'Twas deep in thy breast,
And God found a home where
The sinner finds rest;
His home and his hiding-place
Both were in thee,
He was won by thy shining
Sweet Star of the sea.

Oh blissful and calm
Was the wonderful rest,
That thou gavest thy God
In thy virginal breast;
For the heaven he left
He found heaven in thee,
And he shone in thy shining
Sweet Star of the sea.

TO WIN MY HEART

To win my heart with visions bright and fair,
In vain the world with all its craft has tried;
Harmless and weak its dazzling weapons are,
I nothing fear with Jesus at my side.

The Cherubim, the Cherubim,
And Seraphim, and Seraphim,
And heavenly hosts, that swell the glad refrain,
In that Mary land, that Mary land.
And mother Mary, Queen of heaven shall reign,
And mother Mary, Queen of heaven shall reign.

Come, all ye proud ones of the earth,
Array your gathering hosts
\taround me far and wide:
My heart is calm amid the loud affray,
I do not fear with Jesus at my side.

Death hath for me no fear; its bitter pains
Shall never from my King my heart divide;
Faithful to him till death my will remains,
I do not fear with Jesus at my side.

Though all the terrors of the last dread day,
With death and hell together were allied,
Though Heaven and earth before me fled away,
I do not fear with Jesus at my side.

Jesus my Lord, my only hope and shield,
No power of ill before Thee can abide;
I trust in Thee upon the battle field,
I do not fear with Jesus at my side.

HELP, LORD, THE SOULS

Help, Lord, the souls that thou hast made,
The souls to thee so dear,
In prison for the debt unpaid,
Of sin committed here.

These holy souls, they suffer on,
Resign'd in heart and will,
Until thy high behest is done,
And justice has its fill.

For daily falls, for pardon'd crime,
They joy to undergo
The shadow of thy cross sublime,
The remnant of thy woe.

Oh, by their patience of delay,
Their hope amid their pain,
Their sacred Zeal to burn away,
Disfigurement and stain.

Oh, by their fire of love, not less
In keenness than the flame;
Oh, by their very helplessness;
Oh, by thy own great Name.

Good Jesus, help! Sweet Jesus, aid
The souls to thee most dear,
In prison for the debt unpaid,
Of sins committed here.

JERUSALEM, MY HAPPY HOME

Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?

O happy harbour of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.

In thee no sickness may be seen,
No hurt, no ache, no sore;
In thee there is no dread of death,
But life for evermore.

No dampish mist is seen in thee,
No cold nor darksome night;
There every soul shines as the sun;
There God himself gives light.

There lust and lucre cannot dwell;
There envy bears no sway;
There is no hunger, heat, nor cold,
But pleasure every way.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant I once may see
Thy endless joys, and of the same
Partaker aye may be!

Thy walls are made of precious stones,
Thy bulwarks diamonds square;
Thy gates are of right orient pearl,
Exceeding rich and rare.

Thy turrets and thy pinnacles
With carbuncles do shine;
Thy very streets are paved with gold,
Surpassing clear and fine.

Thy houses are of ivory,
Thy windows crystal clear;
Thy tiles are made of beaten gold ...
O God that I were there.

Within thy gates no thing doth come
That is not passing clean;
No spider's web, no dirt, no dust,
No filth may there be seen.

Ah, my sweet home, Jerusalem,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!

Stand ever in the light,
All rapture through and through,
In God's most holy sight.

Wherefore doth death delay?
Bright death that is the welcome dawn
Of our eternal day.

To feel, to see Him near.

O Paradise! O Paradise!

I want to be as pure on earth,
As on thy spotless shore.

Faint fragments of thy song.

SEEK HEAVEN ALONE

One thought only have we
As we journey on:
'Tis our soul's salvation,
That and that alone.

Seeking heav'n alone
Brings true happiness;
Seeking heav'n alone
Brings true happiness;
Seeking heav'n alone!
Seeking heav'n alone!

Each soul was created
For the God most high;
Naught but God, our yearnings
E'er can satisfy.

Life on earth is passing,
Vanity and show;
God alone is changeless,
God alone is true.

Though we gain the whole world,
Poor indeed are we,
If we lose our Jesus
For eternity.

Seek then, but salvation,
Seek that peace and joy
Which endure forever,
Bliss without alloy.

Maiden Mother, lead me
To my Saviour's throne,
Keep and guard and guide me,
Make me all His own.

Forgive me my sins, behold all my grief.

My heart and soul shall yearn for your face;
Be gracious to me and answer my plea.

Do not withhold your goodness from me;
O Lord, may your love be deep in my soul.

To you I pray, have pity on me;
My God, I have sinned against your great love.

Mercy I cry, O Lord, wash me clean;
And whiter than snow my spirit shall be.

Give me again the joy of your help;
Now open my lips, your praise I will sing.

Happy is he forgiven by God;
His sins blotted out, his guilt is no more.

You are my joy, my refuge and strength;
Let all upright hearts give praise to the Lord.

My soul will sing, my heart will rejoice;
The blessing of the God will fill all my days.

VEXILLA REGIS

Vexilla Regis prodeunt:
Fulget crucis mysterium;
Qua vita mortem pertulit,
Et morte vitam protulit.

Quae vulnerata lanceae
Mucrone diro, criminum
Ut nos lavaret sordibus,
Manavit unda et sanguine.

Impleta sunt, quae concinit
David fideli carmine,
Dicendo nationibus
Regnavit a ligno Deus.

Arbor decora et fulgida,
Ornata Regis purpura,
Electa digno stipite
Tam sancta membra tangere.

Beata cujus brachiis
Pretium pependit saeculi,
Statera facta corporis,
Tulitque praedam tartari.

O Crux, ave, spes unica,
Hoc Passionis Tempore
Piis adauge gratiam
Reisque dele crimina.

Te, fons salutis, Trinitas,
Collaudet omnis spiritus:
Quibus crucis victoriam
Largiris, adde praemium. Amen.

COME TO ME, BELOVED

Come to me, Beloved
Babe of Bethlehem;
Lay aside thy sceptre
And thy diadem.

Bid all fear and doubting
From my soul depart,
As I feel the beating
Of thy human heart.

Look upon me sweetly
With thy human eyes;
With thy human finger
Point me to the skies.

Guide me, ever guide me
With thy pierced hand,
Till I reach the borders
Of the pleasant land.

Then, my own beloved,
Take me home to rest,
Whisper words of comfort,
Lay me on thy breast.

By the quiet waters
Sweetest Jesus, lead;
'Mid the Virgin lilies
Purest Jesus, feed.

Only thee, Beloved,
Only thee I seek,
Thee, the man Christ Jesus
Strength in flesh made weak.

HE BOUGHT THE WHOLE FIELD

He bought the whole field for joy,
He bought the whole field for sheer joy.
A man found a treasure,
it was hidden in a field,
He bought the whole field for joy.

Paul was a Hebrew by birth,
He left his land to inherit the earth.
He sowed God's word,
And when the seed gave yield
\tin the hearts of a few,
He bought the whole field.

A rich young man searching for truth,
Who kept his commandments
\tthe whole of his youth,
Was promised a kingdom,
If he gave all he had.
But he did not have the vision of Paul,
Who bought the whole field for joy.

HOWL MY SOUL

Howl, you, for the day of the Lord is near,
Howl, my soul, for the day of the Lord is here,
Let every knee be bent, ev'ry head be bowed,
For He will come like thunder
\ttearing up the cloud.
Howl, my soul, tremble, my soul, in fear.

Weep, you, for he comes to judge the land,
Weep, my soul, for none but the just shall stand,
He will come in a whirl-wind to uproot the trees,
Yet He will rock my soul,
\tfor the judgment is at hand.

Sing, you, for the Lord was born of men,
Sing, my soul, for the Lord returns again,
He will breath new Spirit into old dry bones,
Trade a heart of flesh for a heart of stone,
Sing, my soul, sing my soul. Amen.

Peace, you, there's no need to be afraid,
Peace, my soul, for He knows
\tof what you're made,
Though mountains crumble
\twhen He bares His breast,
In the crook of His arm I will lie to rest,
Peace, my soul, it is the moment
\tfor which you've prayed.

🎼 HYMN 346 Additional Hymn
I COME TO THEE

I come to thee once more my God,
No longer will I roam,
For I have sought thee wide world through
And never found a home.

Though bright and many are the spots,
Where I have built a nest,
Yet in the brightest still I pined
For more abiding rest.

Riches could bring me joy and power
And they were fair to see,
Yet Gold was but a sorry god
To serve instead of Thee.

Then honour and world's good word
Appear a nobler faith,
Yet could I rest on bliss that hung
And trembled on a breath.

For thou hast made this wondrous soul
All for thyself alone,
Ah, send thy sweet transforming word
To make it more thine own.

IT'S A LONG ROAD TO FREEDOM

It's a long road to freedom,
A winding steep and high,
But when you walk in love,
With the wind of your wing,
And cover the earth with the songs you sing,
The miles fly by.

I walked one morning by the sea,
And all the waves reached out to me,
I took their tears, then let them be.

I walked one morning at the dawn,
When bits of night still lingered on,
I sought my star, but it was gone.

I walked one morning with a friend,
And prayed the day would never end,
The years have flown - so why pretend?

I walked one morning with the king,
And all my winters turned to spring,
Yet ev'ry moment held its sting.

JOY-BELLS RINGING

Joy-bells ringing, children singing,
Fill the air with music sweet;
Joyful measure, guileless pleasure,
Make the chain of song complete.

Joy-bells! Joy-bells!
Never, never cease your ringing!
Children! Children!
Never, never cease your singing!
List, list, the song that swells -
Joy-bells! Joy-bells!

Joy-bells ringing, children singing,
Hark their voices loud and clear,
Breaking o'er us, like a
From a purer, happier sphere.

Earth seems brighter,
Heart grows lighter,
As the gladsome melody
Charms our sadness into gladness,
Pealing, pealing joyfully.

Joy-bells nearer sound, and clearer,
When the heart is free from care;
Skies are cheering, and we're hearing
Joy-bells ringing everywhere.

🎼 HYMN 349 Additional Hymn
JOY IS LIKE THE RAIN

I saw rain drops on my window,
Joy is like the rain,
Laughter runs across my pain,
Slips away and comes again,
Joy is like the rain.

I saw clouds upon a mountain,
Joy is like a cloud,
Sometimes silver, sometimes gray,
Always sun not far away,
Joy is like a cloud.

I saw Christ in wind and thunder,
Joy is tried by storm,
Christ asleep within my boat,
Whipped by wind yet still afloat,
Joy is tried by storm.

I saw rain drops on the river,
Joy is like the rain,
Bit by bit the river grows,
Till all at once it overflows,
Joy is like the rain.

See us gathered round Thy feet;
Be Thou Monarch of our School,
It shall prosper 'neath Thy rule
We will be Thy subjects true,
Brave to suffer, brave to do,
All our hearts to Thee we bring
Take them, keep them little King.

Raise Thy little Hand to bless
All our childhood's happiness;
Bless our sorrow and our pain,
That each cross may be our gain,
By Thine own sweet childhood, Lord
Sanctify each thought and word,
Set Thy seal on everything,
Which we do, O little King.

Be our Teacher when we learn,
All the hard to easy turn;

So we shall indeed be gay,
Keep us happy, keep us pure,
While our childhood shall endure,
All its days to Thee we bring,
Bless them, guard them, little King.

In the darkness be our Light,
O'er the rough and o'er the smooth,
Safely guide our wayward youth,

All we are or yet may be,
Every sense and faculty;

Let them all Thy praises sing,
Now and always, little King.

Let us in the noisy world,
Keep Thy banner broad unfurled,
In an age of ease and pride,
Leading Christian lives denied,
In an age which seeks its way,
Glad and cheeful to obey,
While Thy simple Truth shall ring,
In word and act, O little King.

And when holidays have come,
Call Thy children to Thy home,
In that gentle Voice of Thine,
Which we know, sweet child Divine,
At the gate, O! meet us thus,
As we loved Thee - Child like us,
Stretch Thy hands in welcoming,
To Thine own, O little King.

SONG OF TRUST

Of how much more value are you than these!
Of how much more value are you than these!

Look at the sparrow: he neither sows nor reaps;
he has no barn, no storehouse,
yet your Father feeds him.

Look at the lily: she neither toils nor spins;
yet not even Solomon in all his glory
was arrayed like one of them.

Look at the green grass: see how it
flourishes in the fields.

So, don't worry, don't be anxious, saying,
"What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?"
"What shall we put on today?"
Your Father knows you need these things.

So, give all, and be empty,
then be filled with all good things.

Revealed to faith with His word,

By simple child-like trust,
In Christ 'tis God's delight to give,
He promised and He must.

OH, THE LOVE OF MY LORD

Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence
of all that I love here on earth.
All the beauty I see he has given to me
and his giving is gentle as silence.

Every day, every hour, every moment

At the turn of each tide,

from his presence,
And I've walked other paths, other ways.
But I've called on his name in the dark
of my shame,
And his mercy was gentle as silence.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Saviour God, to Thee
How great thou art,
How great thou art!
Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!

When through the woods
And forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook,
And feel the gentle breeze;

And when I think that God,
His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
to take away my sin;

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow
in humble adoration,
And there proclaim,
My God, how great Thou art.

🎼 HYMN 373 Other Traditional hymn
NEARER BLESSED LORD

I am Thine, O Lord,
I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I pass the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

🎼 HYMN 374 Other Traditional hymn
BECAUSE HE LIVES, I CAN FACE TOMORROW

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a new born baby
And feel the pride and joy He brings
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days, because He lives.

And then one day, I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then, as death gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns.

🎼 HYMN 375 Other Traditional hymn
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS NAME THEM ONE BY ONE

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

🎼 HYMN 376 Other Traditional hymn
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

🎼 HYMN 377 Other Traditional hymn
ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS' NAME

All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all!

Ye chosen seed of Israel's race
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Let every kindred, every tribe,
on this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all.
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all.

🎼 HYMN 378 Other Traditional hymn
OLD RUGGED CROSS

On a hill far away,
stood an old rugged Cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old Cross
where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged Cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged Cross,
so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God,
left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.

In the old rugged Cross,
stain'd with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For 'twas on that old cross,
Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

To the old rugged Cross,
I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me someday
to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.

🎼 HYMN 379 Other Traditional hymn
MY FAITH HAS FOUND A RESTING PLACE (I NEED NO OTHER ARGUMENT)

My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.

I need no other argument,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.

Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He'll never cast me out.

My heart is leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Saviour's name,
Salvation through His blood.

My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.

🎼 HYMN 380 Other Traditional hymn
THERE'S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS

There's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our souls' diseases:
No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide till the day is done:
There's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! no, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! no, not one!

There's not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! no, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! no, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! no, not one!

Was e'er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?*
No, not one! no, not one!

🎼 HYMN 381 Other Traditional hymn
ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus' name.

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

🎼 HYMN 382 Other Traditional hymn
HE LEADETH ME

He leadeth me! O blessed thought,
O words with heav'nly comfort fraught;
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.

Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

🎼 HYMN 383 Other Traditional hymn
THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME I'M JUST A PASSING THROUGH

This world is not my home I'm just a passing through,
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue,
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Oh lord you know I have no friend like you,
If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do.
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

I have a loving mother just over in gloryland,
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand.
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Just over in gloryland, we'll live eternally;
The saints on every hand are shouting victory.
Their songs of sweetest praise,
\t\tdrift back from heaven's shore;
And I can't feel at home In this world anymore.
