Gloria in excelsis Deo

Author: Earl Marlatt, 1892 - Hymnal: SBHC1958 #30 (1958) First Line: Angels we have heard on high Lyrics: 1 Angels we have heard on high, Singing sweetly through the night, And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2 Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear? Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 3 Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the new-born King. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 4 See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While we raise our hearts in love. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GLORIA (IRIS)

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #369 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before his feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By wars without and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my shield and hiding place, That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, thou hast died. 5 O wondrous Love, to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners such as I Might plead thy gracious Name!

Art thou weary, art thou languid

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #517 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed? Come to me, saith One, and coming, Be at rest. 2 Hath he marks to lead me to him, If he be my guide? In his feet and hands are wound-prints And his side. 3 Hath he diadem, as monarch, That his brow adorns? Yea, a crown in very surety, But of thorns. 4 If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear. 5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed. 6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away. 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes! Amen.

As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837 - 98 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #52 (1958) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee, our heavenly King. A-men. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its light, its joy, its crown, Thou its sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King.

At even when the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823 - 1900 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #232 (1958) Lyrics: 1 At even when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O, in what divers pains they met, O, with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had. A-men. 4 O Saviour Christ, thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 5 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS

At the Cross, her station keeping

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #84 (1958) Lyrics: 1 At the Cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where he hung, the dying Lord; For her soul, of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 O, how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that mother blessed Of the sole-begotten One. Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her ever-glorious Son. A-men. 3 Who, on Christ's dear mother gazing, Pierced with anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep? 4 For his people's sins chastisèd, She beheld her Son despisèd, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till his spirit he resigned. 5 Jesus, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind, That my heart, fresh ardor gaining And a purer love attaining, May with thee acceptance find. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: STABAT MATER (MAINZ)

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814 - 68 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #95a (1958) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side; Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the Paschal Blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose Blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. A-men. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, Hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light; Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened paradise, And in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 Paschal triumph, Paschal joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise: Risen Lord, all praise to thee With the Spirit ever be. Amen.
