Out of Darkness into Light
Author: W. O. Lattimore Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Long in darkness we have waited Refrain First Line: Bless'd Jesus, loving Savior! Lyrics: 1. Long in darkness we have waited,
For the shining of the light;
Long have felt the things we hated,
Sink us still in deeper night.
Refrain
Blessèd Jesus, loving Savior!
Tender, faithful, strong and true,
Break the fetters that have bound us,
Make us in Thyself anew.
2. Now, at last, the Light appeareth,
Jesus stands upon the shore;
And with tender voice, He calleth,
Come to Me and sin no more! [Refrain]
3. Nothing have we, but our weakness,
Naught but sorrow, sin and care;
All within is loathsome vileness,
All without is dark despair. [Refrain]
4. All our talents we have wasted,
All Thy laws have disobeyed,
But Thy goodness now we’ve tasted,
In Thy robes we stand arrayed. [Refrain]
5. Thou hast saved us—do Thou keep us,
Guide us by Thine eye divine;
Let the Holy Spirit teach us,
That our light may ever shine. [Refrain] Used With Tune: LATTIMORE

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna Lyrics: 1. Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
All creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
See, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
Bring a taste of love unknown.
2. Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
From the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection,
Not a servant, but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3. Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
Nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
Where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
Christ is risen! Get you gone!
God the First and Last is with us,
Sing Hosanna, everyone!

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying
Author: Daniel March, 1816-1909; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 504 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting--
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth;
Rich reward He offers thee.
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me"?
2 If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children
To the Savior's waiting arms.
3 If you cannot be a watchman,
Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Off'ring life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what God commands;
You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the multitudes are dying
And the Master calls for you.
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I, send me, send me!"

Come and Find the Quiet Center
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, touches base,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care,
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Topics: Life of Discipleship Prayer and Guidance; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Prayer and Guidance; Prayer; Serenity; Guidance; Holy Spirit Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

We Believe in God the Father
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We believe in God the Father,
God Almighty, by whose plan
earth and heaven sprang into being,
all created things began.
We believe in Christ the Savior,
Son of God in human frame,
virgin born, the child of Mary,
upon whom the Spirit came.
2 Christ, who on the cross forsaken,
like a lamb to slaughter led,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
he descended to the dead.
We believe in Jesus risen,
heaven’s king to rule and reign,
to the Father’s side ascended
till as judge he comes again.
3 We believe in God the Spirit;
in one church, below, above;
saints of God in one communion,
one in holiness and love.
So by faith, our sins forgiven,
Christ our Savior, Lord and Friend,
we shall rise with him in glory
to the life that knows no end. Topics: Faith; Christian year--Trinity; Faith; Reaffirmation of faith; Service music--Creeds; Worship Scripture: Acts 4:23-37 Used With Tune: LUX EOI

God Is in His Holy Temple
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God is in his holy temple.
Earthly thoughts, be silent now,
While with rev’rence we assemble
And before his presence bow.
He is with us, now and ever,
When we call upon his name,
Aiding ev’ry good endeavor,
Guiding ev’ry upward aim.
2. God is in his holy temple,
In the pure and holy mind,
In the rev’rent heart and simple,
In the soul from sin refined.
Banish then each base emotion.
Lift us up, O Lord, to thee;
Let our souls, in pure devotion,
Temples for thy worship be. Topics: Chastity; Genealogy and Temple Work; Prayer and Supplication; Reverence; Spirituality; Word of Wisdom; Worship; Worthiness Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Used With Tune: WILSON
