For thee we long and pray
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 6 hymnals Used With Tune: OLD HUNDRED FORTY-EIGTH
For thee we long and pray
Come in, come in, New Year
Author: Shirley Murray, 1931- Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come in, come in, New Year
with sparkling winter day!*
Your promise calls us here
to celebrate and pray,
through January's open door
to stride with hopeful step once more.
2 Come in, New Year, and sell
your wares of chance and change:
engage us with your spell
to risk and rearrange,
to feel the Spirit's impulse beat,
to follow down a different street.
3 For though December dies,
still Christmas keeps the light,
the hope in children's eyes,
the star that shatters night;
now Simeon and Anna see
the child who rules all time to be.
4 The calendar of Christ
will mark the seasons' turn;
his story claim our trust;
his love be ours to learn.
For all the world, for young and old,
we pray a year of peace unfold!

Jerusalem on high
How sure the Scriptures are!
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far
more sharp than any sword:
So deep and fine,
at his control
they pierce where soul
and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought
to do and to desire:
For God know all —
exposed it lies
before his eyes
to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice
of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still —
his word is clear,
so let us hear
and do his will! Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Pentecost 22 The Two Ways Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

Great Father of mankind
Author: Doddridge Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Father of mankind,
We bless that wondrous grace
Which could for Gentiles find
Within Thy courts a place.
How kind the care
Our God displays,
For us to raise
A house of prayer!
2 Though once estrangéd far,
We now approach the throne;
For Jesus brings us near,
And makes our cause His own:
Strangers no more,
To Thee we come,
And find our home,
And rest secure.
3 To Thee our souls we join,
And love Thy sacred Name;
No more our own, but Thine,
We triumph in Thy claim.
Our Father-King,
Thy covenant grace
Our souls embrace,
Thy titles sing.
4 May all the nations throng
To worship in Thy house;
And Thou attend the song,
And smile upon their vows;
Indulgent still,
Till earth conspire
To join the choir
On Zion's hill. Topics: Epiphany; Lent, Second Sunday Used With Tune: CROFT'S 148TH PSALM

O thou who hearest prayer
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou who hearest prayer,
Attend our humble cry,
And let thy servants share
Thy blessing from on high
We plead the promise of thy word,
Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord!
2 If earthly parents hear
Their children when they cry,
If they with love sincere
Their children's wants supply,
Much more wilt thou thy love display,
And answer when thy children pray.
3 Our heavenly Father, thou,
We, children of thy grace,
O let thy Spirit now
Descend and fill the place,
That all may feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.
Amen.
