City of God, how broad and far
Author: Samuel Johnson, 1822-1882 Hymnal: Common Praise #400 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 City of God, how broad and far
outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
of every age and clime:
2 One holy church, one army strong,
one steadfast, high intent;
one working band, one harvest-song,
one King omnipotent.
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
from man's primaeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
with never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
to meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
in vain the drifting sands:
unharmed upon the eternal Rock
the eternal city stands. Topics: Proper 4 Year A; Proper 24 Year A; The City Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
City of God, how broad and far
Hark! the Glad Sound, the Savior Comes
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Worshipbook #410 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound, the Savior comes,
The Savior promised long!
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes the prisoners to release
In Satan’s bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
3 He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humbled poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Your welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven’s eternal arches ring
With your beloved name.
Amen. Topics: Christian Year Advent; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Tune Title: RICHMOND

O For a Heart to Praise My God
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #417 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O for a heart to praise my God,
a heart from sin set free,
a heart that always feels thy blood
so freely shed for me.
2. A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
my great Redeemer's throne,
where only Christ is heard to speak,
where Jesus reigns alone.
3. A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
believing, true, and clean,
which neither life nor death can part
from Christ who dwells within.
4. A heart in every thought renewed
and full of love divine,
perfect and right and pure and good,
a copy, Lord, of thine.
5. Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
come quickly from above;
write thy new name upon my heart,
thy new, best name of Love.

O For a Heart to Praise My God
Fill thou my life, O Lord my God
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: Common Praise #424 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
thy being and thy ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor e'en the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 Praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of thee and of thy love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
*5 So shalt thou, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
*6 So shall each fear, each fret, each care,
be turnèd into song;
and every winding of the way
the echo shall prolong.
7 So shall no part of day or night
unblest or common be,
but all my life, in every step,
be fellowship with thee. Topics: Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 16 Year C; Proper 26 Year B; Baptism and Confirmation Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND

In whom no darkness is.

Because that light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.

A path, though thorny, bright;

And God himself is light. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost; The Life In Christ The Inner Life Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND (CHESTERFIELD)

My God, the spring of all my joys
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #477a (1917) Lyrics: 1 My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights!
2 In darkest shades, if Thou appear,
My dawning is begun;
Thou art my soul's bright morning star,
And Thou my rising sun.
3 The opening heavens around me shine,
With beams of sacred bliss,
If Jesus shows His mercy mine,
And whispers I am His.
4 My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word;
Run up with joy the shining way,
To see and praise my Lord.
5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I'd break through every foe;
The wings of love, and arms of faith,
Would bear me conqueror through.
