Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3876 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Lord of the Church, we humbly pray
For those who guide us in Thy way
And speak Thy holy Word.
With love divine their hearts inspire
And touch their lips with hallowed fire
And needful strength afford.
2. Help them to preach the truth of God,
Redemption through the Savior’s blood,
Nor let the Spirit cease
On all the Church His gifts to shower—
To them a messenger of power;
To us, of life and peace.
3. So may they live to Thee alone,
Then hear the welcome word, Well done,
And take their crown above;
Enter into their Master’s joy
And all eternity employ
In praise and bliss and love. Languages: English Tune Title: KOMMT HER ZU MIR
Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Near the Cross, Her Vigil Keeping
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4501 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Near the cross, her vigil keeping,
Stood the mother, worn with weeping,
Where He hung, the dying Lord;
Through her soul, in anguish groaning,
Bowed in sorrow, sighing, moaning,
Passed the sharp and piercing sword.
2. O the weight of her affliction!
Hers, who won God’s benediction,
Hers, who bore God’s Holy One:
O that speechless, ceaseless yearning!
O those dim eyes never turning
From her wondrous, suffering Son!
3. Who upon that mother gazing,
In her trouble so amazing,
Born of woman, would not weep?
Who of Christ’s dear mother thinking,
While her Son that cup is drinking,
Would not share her sorrow deep?
4. For His people’s sin chastisèd
She beheld her Son despisèd,
Bound and bleeding ’neath the rod;
Saw the Lord’s Anointed taken,
Dying desolate, forsaken,
Heard Him yield His soul to God.
5. Near Thy cross, O Christ, abiding,
Grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place;
By Thy guardian cross uphold me,
In Thy dying, Christ, enfold me
With the deathless arms of grace. Languages: English Tune Title: STABAT MATER (Mechlin)
Near the Cross, Her Vigil Keeping
O Blessèd Home Where Man and Wife
Author: Magnus B. Landstad; Ole T. Arneson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4687 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. O blessèd home where man and wife
Together lead a godly life
By deeds their faith confessing!
There many a happy day is spent,
There Jesus gladly will consent
To tarry with His blessing.
2. If they have given Him their heart,
The place of honor set apart
For Him each night and morrow,
Then He the storms of life will calm,
Will bring for every wound a balm,
And change to joy their sorrow.
3. And if their home be dark and drear,
The cruse be empty, hunger near,
All hope within them dying,
Let them despair not in distress;
Lo, Christ is there the bread to bless,
The fragments multiplying.
4. O Lord, we come before Thy face;
In every home bestow Thy grace
On children, father, mother,
Relieve their wants, their burdens ease,
Let them together dwell in peace
And love to one another. Languages: English Tune Title: KOMMT HER ZU MIR
O Blessèd Home Where Man and Wife
O Christian Home
Author: Joshua F. Drake Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4727 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: O Christian home, you humble place Lyrics: 1. O Christian home, you humble place,
Where God’s own kingdom grows, by grace,
With Christ himself as head—
In you live bold and steadfast men
And wives who guard their hearts from sin
As both by Christ are led.
2. In you a man may love his bride
Enough to be her guard and guide,
And rule with tender heart.
And wives will gladly work in you
To aid the good their husbands do—
Delighted in their part.
3. For Christian homes have jobs for all.
If one’s undone, the house may fall,
Though be it help or head.
And there a child will know his place:
The seed of Abrah’m, marked for grace,
And loved, as our Lord said:
4. For such do fill the Land of God,
Where we’ll need no firm words, no rod
To put us in our place.
There husbands, wives, sons, daughters we
Like children safe at home will be,
For we are called by grace. Languages: English Tune Title: SCHULTZ

Yesterday, with Exultation
Author: Adam of St. Victor; John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7786 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Yesterday, with exultation,
Joined the world in celebration,
Of her promised Savior’s birth;
Yesterday the angel nation
Poured the strains of jubilation
O’er the monarch born on earth.
2. But today o’er death victorious,
By his faith and actions glorious,
By his miracles renowned,
See the deacon triumph gaining,
’Midst the faithless faith sustaining,
First of holy martyrs found.
3. Onward, champion, falter never,
Sure of sure reward forever,
Holy Stephen, persevere;
Perjured witnesses confounding,
Satan’s synagogues astounding
By thy doctrine true and clear.
4. Thine own witness is in Heaven,
True and faithful, to thee given,
Witness of thy blamelessness;
By thy name a crown implying,
Meet it is thou shouldst be dying
For the crown of righteousness.
5. For the crown that fadeth never
Bear the torturer’s brief endeavor;
Victory waits to end the strife;
Death shall be thy life’s beginning,
And life’s losing be the winning
Of the true and better life.
6. Filled with God’s most Holy Spirit,
See the Heav’n thou shalt inherit,
Stephen, gaze into the skies;
There God’s glory steadfast viewing,
Thence thy victor strength renewing,
Pant for thy eternal prize.
7. See, as Jewish foes invade thee,
See how Jesus stands to aid thee,
Stands at God’s right hand on high:
Tell how opened heaven is shown thee,
Tell how Jesus waits to own thee,
Tell it with thy latest cry.
8. As the dying martyr kneeleth,
For his murderers he appealeth,
For their madness grieving sore;
Then in Christ he sleepeth sweetly,
And with Christ he reigneth meetly,
Martyr firstfruits, evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: HERI MUNDUS EXULTAVIT
Yesterday, with Exultation
Zion, to Thy Savior Singing
Author: Thomas Aquinas; Alexander R. Thompson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7827 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Zion, to thy Savior singing,
To thy prince and shepherd bringing,
Sweetest hymns of love and praise,
Thou wilt never reach the measure
Of His worth, by all the treasure
Of thy most ecstatic lays.
2. Of all wonders that can thrill thee,
And, with adoration fill thee,
What than this can greater be,
That Himself to thee He giveth?
He that eateth ever liveth,
For the Bread of Life is He.
3. Fill thy lips to overflowing
With sweet praise, His mercy showing
Who this heav’nly table spread:
On this day so glad and holy,
To each longing spirit lowly
Giveth He the living Bread.
4. Here the King hath spread His table,
Whereon eyes of faith are able
Christ our Passover to trace:
Shadows of the law are going,
Light and life and truth inflowing,
Night to day is giving place.
5. Lo, this angels’ food descending
Heavenly love is hither sending,
Hungry lips on earth to feed:
So the paschal lamb was given,
So the manna came from Heaven,
Isaac was His type indeed.
6. O Good Shepherd, Bread life giving,
Us, Thy grace and life receiving,
Feed and shelter evermore;
Thou on earth our weakness guiding,
We in Heav’n with Thee abiding,
With all saints will Thee adore. Languages: English Tune Title: COBB
Zion, to Thy Savior Singing
Jesu, Sion's King, We Greet Thee
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8662 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Jesu, Sion’s King, we greet Thee Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Sion’s King, we greet Thee,
On the Way of Sorrows meet Thee,
Meekly coming unto death;
In extreme humiliation,
Just and girded with salvation,
E’en as Zechariah saith.
2 King, how soon the cruel scorning,
Purple robe for mock adorning,
Scepter poor of bending reed;
Then Thine infinite affliction,
Bloody sweat and crucifixion,
Thirst, and last dread hour of need.
3 By Thy precious blood, good Jesus,
From transgression’s burden ease us,
By Thy wounds, give health divine;
And our lives vouchsafe to fashion,
By the virtue of Thy Passion,
Into likeness unto Thine.
4 Thus hereafter may we merit
That glad City to inherit,
Which the cross, dear Lord, makes free;
There, where nothing may afflict us,
Chant unending Benedictus,
Palm and crown cast down to Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: STABAT MATER
Jesu, Sion's King, We Greet Thee
Thou Hast, O God, The Work Begun
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10647 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: Thou hast, O God, the work begun,
Brought forth Thy Servant, and Thy Son,
The branch from Jesse’s root:
But bring Him forth again in me,
And let the Branch become a tree,
And fill the world with fruit. Languages: English Tune Title: ̄Å HERRE JESUS
Thou Hast, O God, The Work Begun
