the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.

with constant praise to seek thy face;

with praises to adore thee. Tune Title: ERMUNTRE DICH

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Voices United #104 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Year The Transfiguration; Christian Year Epiphany; Christian Year Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks in upon our darkness,
splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Hymnal: Voices United #135 (1996) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand:
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
my eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess,
the wonder of his glorious love,
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross. Languages: English Tune Title: ST CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping
Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Hymnal: Voices United #139 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7 Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping
stood the mournful Mother weeping
where he hung, the dying Lord;
2 through her soul of joy bereavèd,
bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd,
passed the sharp and piercing sword.
3 Who upon that mother gazing,
in her anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking
while her son that cup is drinking,
would not share her sorrow deep?
5 For his people's sins chastisèd
she beheld her Son despisèd
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined,
6 saw him then from judgement taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding,
grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place:
8 by your saving cross uphold me,
in your dying, Christ, enfold me,
with the deathless arms of grace. Tune Title: STABAT MATER

the author of life and creation;

life now bestowing on all. [Refrain]
4 God of all pity and power,
let your word be assured to the doubting:
light on the third day returns;
rise, Son of God, from the tomb! [Refrain]

infinite riches of God. [Refrain]

Christ's own, his chosen apostles,
preach to the ends of the earth
Christ and his wonderful works. [Refrain]

light that now lightens all,
life that in all now abides. [Refrain]

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Voices United #165 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Christian Year Easter; Christian Year Easter Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness:
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters,
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today,
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun has risen;
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to gladden faithful hearts,
who with true affection
welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold him as a mortal:
for today amid his own
he now stands, bestowing
God's true peace which evermore
passes human knowing. Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

how they had seen the risen Lord,
he doubted the disciples' word.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

my hands, my feet, I show to thee;
not faithless, but believing be."

he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win.
