Christian, dost thou see them
Author: Andrew of Crete, cir. 660 - 732; John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #68b (1958) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
On the holy ground,
How the powers of darkness
Compass thee around?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss;
Smite them by the merit
Of the holy Cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble,
Never be down-cast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair:
Always fast and vigil,
Always watch and prayer?
Christian, answer boldly,
'While I breathe, I pray.'
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.
4 Well I know thy trouble,
O my servant true,
Thou art very weary,
I was weary too;
But that toil shall make thee
Some day all mine own,
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW OF CRETE
Christian, dost thou see them
Glory be to Jesus
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814 - 78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #76 (1958) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who, in bitter pains,
Poured for me the lifeblood
From his sacred veins!
2 Grace and life eternal
In that Blood I find;
Blest be his compassion,
Infinitely kind.
3 Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream
Which from endless torments
Doth the world redeem.
4 Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the Blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
5 Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel-hosts rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
6 Lift we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder
Praise the precious Blood!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Palm Sunday; The Church Year Holy Week; Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: CASWALL
Glory be to Jesus
Come down, O Love divine
Author: Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833 - 90; Bianco da Siena, d.1434 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #123 (1958) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
Seek thou this soul of mine,
And visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let thy glorious light
Shine ever on my sight,
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
Mine outward vesture be,
And lowliness become mine inner clothing;
True lowliness of heart
Which takes the humbler part,
And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
With which the soul will long,
Shall far outpass the power of human telling;
For none can guess its grace,
Till he become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost; The Church Worship - The Beginning of Service; The Life in Christ Aspiration; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY

Come, Holy Ghost, in love
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #121 (1958) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, in love,
Shed on us from above
Thine own bright ray;
Divinely good thou art;
Thy sacred gifts impart
To gladden each sad heart;
O come today.
2 Come, tenderest friend and best,
Our most delightful guest,
With soothing power;
Rest, which the weary know,
Shade, 'mid the noontide glow,
Peace, when deep griefs overflow;
Cheer us, this hour. A-men.
3 Come, Light serene, and still
Our inmost bosoms fill;
Dwell in each breast;
We know no dawn but thine;
Send forth thy beams divine,
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.
4 Come, all the faithful bless:
Let all, who Christ confess,
His praise employ;
Give virtue's rich reward;
Victorious death accord,
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy!
Amen.

To suffer and to do.

And live and die in thee.

Author: Timothy Dwight, 1752 - 1817 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #158 (1958) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious Blood.
2 I love thy Church, O God;
Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5 Jesus, thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.
6 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Sion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

I love thy kingdom, Lord
Our God, to whom we turn
Author: Edward Grubb, 1854-1939 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #171 (1958) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Our God, to whom we turn
When weary with illusion,
Whose stars serenely burn
Above this earth's confusion,
Thine is the mighty plan,
The steadfast order sure,
In which the world began,
Endures, and shall endure.
2 Thou art thyself the truth;
Though we, who fain would find thee,
Have tried, with thoughts uncouth,
In feeble words to bind thee,
It is because thou art
We're drive to the quest;
Till truth from falsehood part
Our souls can find no rest.
3 All beauty speaks of thee:
The mountains and the rivers,
The line of lifted sea,
Where spreading moonlight quivers,
The deep-toned organ blast
That rolls through arches dim,
Hints of the music vast
Of thy eternal hymn. A-men.
4 Wherever goodness lurks
We catch thy tones appealing;
Where man for justice works
Thou art thyself revealing;
The blood of man, for man
On friendship's altar spilt,
Betrays the mystic plan
On which thy house is built.
5 Thou hidden fount of love,
Of peace, and truth, and beauty,
Inspire us from above
With joy and strength for duty.
May thy fresh light arise
Within each clouded heart,
And give us open eyes
To see thee as thou art.
Amen.
