O Jesu, King most wonderful
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,026 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, King most wonderful,
thou Conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found!

then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.
3 Thee, Jesu, may our voices bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
4 Abide with us, and let thy light
shine, Lord, on every heart;
dispel the darkness of our night,
and joy to all impart.
5 Jesu, our love and joy, to thee,
the Virgin's only Son,
all might and praise and glory be,
while endless ages run. Topics: Proper 11 Year C Scripture: 1 John 3:2-3 Used With Tune: ST AGNES (DYKES) Text Sources: Latin, c. 12th century
O Jesu, King most wonderful
Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of thy tears.
3 The cup of water given for thee
still holds the freshness of thy grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the strong compassion of thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain-side
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again:
5 Till all shall come to learn thy love,
and follow where thy feet have trod;
till glorious from thy heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Topics: Proper 8 Year A; The City Scripture: Ezekiel 48:35 Used With Tune: ST BARTHOLOMEW

Alleluia! Alleluia!
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts to heaven and voices raise;
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise:
he who on the cross a victim
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits
of the holy harvest field,
which will all its full abundance
at his second coming yield;
then the golden ears of harvest
will their heads before him wave,
ripened by his glorious sunshine,
from the furrows of the grave.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen;
shed upon us heavenly grace,
rain, and dew, and gleams of glory
from the brightness of thy face;
that we, with our hearts in heaven,
here on earth may fruitful be,
and by angel-hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with thee.
4 Alleluia! Alleluia!

According to thy gracious word

in meek humility,
this will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
my bread from heaven shall be;
thy cup of blessing I will take,
and thus remember thee.
3 Can I Gethsemane forget
or there thy conflict see,
thine agony and bloody sweat,
and not remember thee?
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
and rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember thee:
5 Remember thee, and all thy pains,
and all thy love to me;
yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
will I remember thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
and mind and memory flee,
when thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
then, Lord, remember me. Topics: Holy Communion Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Used With Tune: SONG 67

on thy people pour thy power;
now fulfil thy church's story;
bring her bud to glorious flower.

2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways;
from the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure thy children's warring madness,
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,
rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places,
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christlike graces
in the fight till all be free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not earth nor thee. Topics: Proper 12 Year A; Proper 20 Year B; Second Sunday Before Advent Year C Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Used With Tune: WEBBE'S ST THOMAS

who, in bitter pains,
poured for me the life-blood
from his sacred veins.

in that blood I find;
blest be his compassion,
infinitely kind.

be the precious stream,
which from endless torments
did the world redeem.

pleaded to the skies;
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.

on our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
terror-struck departs.

wafts its praise on high,
angel-hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply.

swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent V Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 1:12 Used With Tune: CASWALL Text Sources: Italian
