Father, We Have Heard You Calling

Author: Gareth Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, we have heard you calling to your church in every age; for a sign of true devotion for a sacrifice of praise. In this place where you have brought us, may we always seek to be one in love and one in worship – children of eternity. 2 Jesus Christ, our faith's perfecter, priest and advocate above. We would reach our broken nation with the truth of your great love. So transform our feeble witness, may we always live to be one in love and one in worship – children of eternity. 3 Holy Spirit, fire of heaven, fall upon us here today. Bring release, bring tears, bring passion, then transform your church, we pray. As you pour your grace upon us, may we always thirst to be one in love and one in worship – children of eternity. 4 Praise we bring to God the Father, praise we bring to God the Son, praise to God the Holy Spirit, praise to you, the three in one. Trinity of love inspire us, may we always strive to be one in love and one in worship – children of eternity.

Only God Can Bring Us Gladness

Author: Johan O. Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace; Joys are vain that end in sadness, Joy divine shall never cease. Mid the shade of want and sorrow Undisturbed, our hearts rejoice; Patient, wait the brighter morrow; Faithful, heed the Father’s voice. 2. As the stars in order going, All-harmonious, He doth move; Heavenly calm and comfort showing, Comes the healing word of love. Who the word of wisdom heareth Feels the Father Love within, Where as dawn the shadow cleareth, Love outshines the night of sin. 3. So we find the true atonement, Know in God the perfect Friend; For in love is our atonement, Where all hearts in Him may blend. Here from prisoning pain and sorrow Have we all a sure release, Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace. Used With Tune: GLÄDJE UTAN GUD EJ FINNES Text Sources: Translator unknown

Heaven With Rosy Morn Is Glowing

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; John Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heaven with rosy morn is glowing, Songs of triumph fill the air, Strains of praise from earth are flowing, Hell is writhing in despair. Earth’s great king, in glory springing, From the deep sepulchral night, While loud anthems round are ringing, Leads His saints to life and light. 2 Useless watch the guards are keeping O’er that tomb so still and lone; He who there in death was sleeping, Bursts the seal, and rends the stone. "Weep no more; no more be given Gushing tears and mournful sighs, For the grave’s dark gates are riven, Christ is risen!" the angel cries. 3 Be our Paschal joy unending! And, O Lord, deign Thou to save Contrite souls, that lowly bending, Pray for life beyond the grave. Praise the Father, earth and Heaven, Praise the Son, who rose this day, To the Spirit praise be given— Three in One, and One in three.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,823 hymnals Lyrics: Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Open now the crystal fountains Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Feed me with the heavenly manna In this barren wilderness; Be my sword, and shield, and banner, Be the Lord my Righteousness. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Amen.
