Hosanna in the highest!
O come, Eternal Spirit
Author: Rev. Carl Johann Philip Spitta, D. D.; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O come, Eternal Spirit
Of truth, diffuse Thou light!
Shine in our soul and banish
All blindness from our sight!
Thy holy fire pour o'er us,
Touch heart and lip, that we
With faithful, good confession
Acknowledge Christ and Thee.
2 O Thou, whom our great Monarch
Hath promised unto us,
Blest Comforter, come to us,
And make us chivalrous.
In these times of indiff'rence
And dearth of faith, O come!
And ply the keen-edged weapons
Of early Christendom.
3 Rank unbelief is rampant,
Mad folly storms the sky,
Hence Thou Thyself must arm us
With weapons from on high:
With wisdom, grace, endurance,
And faith robust, and then
Entirely banish from us
All false respect for men.
4 These times call for decision,
Though foes 'gainst us inveigh;
For open, bold confession,
Whate'er the world may say:
In spite of all the glitter
Of gilded heathendom,
To praise, defend, and cherish
Christ's Gospel till He come.
5 Afar, o'er heathen darkness,
The powerful Word breaks day;
They cast, with Satan's shackles,
Their household-gods away;
From every side they hasten
Into the Savior's fold,
And oh! shall it close to us
As to the lost of old!
6 Alas! we truly merit
Such judgment as our lot;
To us the light is shining,
But we receive it not!
O grant us greater fervor
T' impolre Thy grace, dear Lord,
That from us be not taken
The light of Thy blest Word.
7 Pour, Spirit, o'er all nations
A Pentecostal shower,
The Word of testimony
Accompany with power,
The heart and lips may open—
The nations' and our own—
And we, through joy and sorrow,
Make Christ's salvation known. Topics: The Church Year Mission; Epiphany; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: TESCHNER (Valet will ich dir geben)
O come, Eternal Spirit
O Father, You Are Sovereign
Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Father, you are sovereign
in all the worlds you made;
your mighty word was spoken
and light and life obeyed.
Your voice commands the seasons
and bounds the ocean’s shore,
sets stars within their courses
and stills the tempests’ roar.
2 O Father, you are sovereign
in all affairs of man;
no pow'rs of death or darkness
can thwart Your perfect plan.
All chance and change transcending,
supreme in time and space,
you hold your trusting children
secure in your embrace.
3 O Father, you are sovereign
the Lord of human pain,
transmuting earthly sorrows
to gold of heav'nly gain.
All evil over-ruling,
as none but Conqu'ror could,
your love pursues its purpose —
our souls’ eternal good.
4 O Father, you are sovereign!
We see you dimly now,
but soon before your triumph
earth’s every knee shall bow.
With this glad hope before us
our faith springs up anew:
our sovereign Lord and Savior,
we trust and worship you!

Rejoice, Rejoice, Ye Christians
Author: Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians,
With all your heart, this morn!
O hear the blessed tidings,
The Lord, the Christ, is born,
Now brought us by the angels
That stand about God's throne;
Oh lovely are the voices
That make such tidings known!
2 O hearken to their singing!
This Child shall be your Friend;
The Father so hath willed it,
That thus your woes should end.
The Son is freely given,
That in Him ye may have
The Father's grace and blessing,
And know He loves to save.
3 Nor deem the form too lowly
That clothes Him at this hour;
For know ye what it hideth?
'Tis God's almighty power.
Though now within the manger
So poor and weak He lies,
He is the Lord of all things,
He reigns above the skies.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Christmas; Christmas Day; Christ Incarnation; Incarnation of Christ Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN Text Sources: Magdeburg Geistliche Lieder, 1540

Light of the Gentile nations
Author: Martin Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations,
Thy people's joy and love,
Drawn by Thy Spirit hither,
We gladly come to prove
Thy presence in Thy temple,
And wait with earnest mind
As Simeon once had waited
His Savior God to find.
2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee,
E'en now, in ev'ry place,
Where Thy true Word has promised,
That they should see Thy face.
Thou yet wilt gently grant us,
Who gather round Thee here,
In faith's strong arms to bear Thee,
As once that aged seer.
3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness,
That shines 'mid pain and loss,
Our sun in times of terror,
The glory round our cross,
A glow in sinking spirits,
A sunbeam in distress,
Physician, friend in sickness,
In death our happiness.
4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful
With Simeon to the end,
So that his dying song may
From all our hearts ascend:
"O Lord, now let Thy servant
Depart in peace, I pray,
Since I have seen my Savior,
And have beheld His day."
5 My Savior, I behold Thee
Now with the eye of faith;
No foe of Thee can rob me,
Though bitter words he saith;
Within Thy heart abiding,
As Thou dost dwell in me,
No pain, no death has terrors
To part my soul from Thee! Topics: The Church Year Presentation Used With Tune: TESCHNER (Valet will ich dir geben)

Lead on, O Cloud of Presence
O enter, Lord, Thy temple
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O enter, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who, at my birth, didst give me
A second birth more blest.
Though here to dwell Thou deignest,
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
For ever equal reignest,
Art equally adored.
2 O enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin.
That I may serve Thee truly,
O wash and cleanse Thou me,
To render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.
3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright;
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might.
They pierce the highest heaven;
Unheard they cannot fall,
Till He His help hath given
Who surely helpeth all.
4 The whole wide world, O Spirit,
Upon Thy hands doth rest;
Our wayward hearts Thou turnest
As it may seem Thee best.
As Thou hast done so often,
Once more Thy power make known,
Convert the wicked, soften
To tears the heart of stone.
5 Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind;
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
With calm and fearless spirit
O grant us then to die,
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Whitsunday-The Holy Spirit Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH
