O Living Bread From Heaven

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Living Bread from heaven, How well Thou fed Thy guest! The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. Oh, wondrous food of blessing, Oh, cup that heals our woes! My hear, this gift possessing, In thankful song o'erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace; And Thou hast freely given What earth could never buy, The Bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die! 3 Thou givest all I wanted, The food can death destroy; And Thou hast freely granted The cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne! 4 Lord, grant me that thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, To serve with holy fear; And when Thou call'st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

A Great And Mighty Wonder

Author: John M. Neale; Anatolius Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high, And Cherubim to shepherds Sing anthems from the sky. 2 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men! While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains; Ye oceans, clap your hands! 3 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethl'hem, The Savior and the Lord! All idols forms shall perish, All error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen.

O Lord, our strength in weakness

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness, We pray to Thee for grace; For power to fight the battle, For speed to run the race; When Thy baptismal waters Were poured upon our brow, We then were made Thy children, And pledged our earliest vow; 2 We then were sealed and hallowed By Thy life-giving word; Were made the Spirit's temples, And members of the Lord; With His own blood He bought us, And made the purchase sure; His are we: may He keep us Sober, and chaste, and pure. 3 Conformed to His own likeness May we so live and die, That in the grave our bodies In holy peace may lie; And at the resurrection Forth from those graves may spring, Like to the glorious body Of Christ, our Lord and King. 4 The pure in heart are blessèd, For they shall see the Lord Forever and forever By seraphim adored; And they shall drink the pleasures, Such as no tongue can tell, From the clear crystal river, And life's eternal well. Amen. Topics: Temperance; Baptism; Parochial Missions; Temperance Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging sea, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to thee. 3 O make thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see thee face to face.

Yea, to my latest moment, I'll call upon Thee, Lord. 2 What comfort in affliction To rest upon Thy grace, And in Thy wise direction My fainting heart to place! When Thou, O Lord, didst teach me In Thine own Name to pray, Unto my hope Thou gavest A refuge and a stay. 3 The yearnings of my bosom Thou hearest, Lord, I know; What to my weal pertaineth I know Thou wilt bestow. In times of deepest anguish Thy helping hand is near, And on Thy loving bosom My sorrows Thou wilt bear. 4 And to this blest assurance I'll cling for evermore; And never shall I weary A Father to implore. Depart, despair and anguish That oft my soul oppress; I'll cling unto my Saviour Till He my soul shall bless. Amen.

Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us; teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace. Be present, God, among us, and bring us to believe we are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some, to love them as we find them, or as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved in living situations to do the truth in love; To practice your acceptance, until we know by heart the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art. 4 God, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread, Bring us new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on: renew us with your Spirit; God! Free us, make us one! Topics: Christian unity; Discipleship; Repentance; Year B Easter 6; Year C Easter 7 Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: AURELIA
