Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry (1855-1932) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:8 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race; great High Priest who, throned in glory, for your own will ever plead, fill us with your love and pity, heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 Lord, as you have lived for others, so may we for others live; freely have your gifts been granted, freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of sea and land, we but stewards of your bounty held in trust at your command. 3 Come, Lord Jesus, reign among us, King of Love, and Prince of Peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease. Yours the prayer, and yours the purpose, that your people should be one: grant from heaven, our hope’s fruition: here on earth your will be done.

Messiah

Author: Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:9 First Line: Glory to God who reigns above Lyrics: 1 Glory to God who reigns above, Who dwells in light, whose name is love; Ye saints and angels, if ye can, Declare the love of God to man. 2 O what can more his love commend His dear, his only Son to send! That man, condemn'd to die, might live, And God be glorious to forgive? 3 Messiah's come—with joy behold The days by prophets long foretold: Judah, thy royal sceptre's broke, And time still prove's what Jacob spoke. 4 Daniel, thy weeks are all expir'd, The time prophetic Seals requir'd; Cut off for sins, but not his own, Thy prince Messiah did atone. 5 Thy famous temple, Solomon, Is by the latter far out-shine: It wanted not they glittering store, Messiah's presence grac'd it more. 6 We see the prophecies fulfil'd In Jesus, that most wondrous child: His birth, his life, his death combine To prove his character divine. 7 Jesus, thy gospel firmly stands A blessing to these favour'd lands: No infidel shall be our dread, Since thou art risen from the dead.

The gold and silver are the Lord's

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:8 Lyrics: 1 The gold and silver are the Lord's, And ev'ry blessing earth affords; All come from his propitious hand, And must return at his command. 2 The blessings which I now enjoy, I must for Christ and souls employ; For if I use them as my own, My Lord will soon call in his loan. 3 When I to him in want apply, He never does my suit deny; And shall I then refuse to give, Since I so much from him receive? 4 Shall Jesus leave the realms of day, And clothe himself in humble clay? Shall he become despis'd and poor, To make me rich for ever more! 5 And shall I wickedly withhold To give my silver or my gold? To aid a cause my soul approves, And save the sinners Jesus loves? 6 Expand my heart--incline me, Lord, To give the whole I can afford; That what thy bounty render'd mine, I may with cheerful hands resign.

Lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory his army he shall lead, till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the solemn watchword hear; if while ye sleep he suffers, away with shame and fear. Where'er ye meet with evil, within you or without, charge for the God of battles, and put the foe to rout. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in his strength alone; the arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armour, each piece put on with prayer; when duty calls or danger be never wanting there. 4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the strife will not be long; this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song. To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be; he with the King of glory shall reign eternally. Topics: Proper 23 Year C Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT

Author: Robert H. Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:1-9 Lyrics: 1 O worship our God, all glorious above, and joyfully laud her power and her love; our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of her might, O sing of her grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. Her chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is her path on the wings of the storm. 3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in you do we trust, nor find you to fail; your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend!
