When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #472b (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WHEN all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 When worn with sickness oft hast thou With health renewed my face; And when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue, And after death in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity to thee A joyful song I'll raise; For O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise.

When morning gilds the skies

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-79 Hymnal: NEH1985 #473a (1986) Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 D Lyrics: 1 WHEN morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Alike at work and prayer To Jesus I repair; May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 2 *The sacred minster bell It peals o'er hill and dell, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: O hark to what it sings, As joyously it rings, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 3 *My tongue shall never tire Of chanting in the choir, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: The fairest graces spring In hearts that ever sing, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 4 *When sleep her balm denies, My silent spirit sighs, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: When evil thoughts molest, With this I shield my breast, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 5 *Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 6 The night becomes as day, When from the heart we say, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: The powers of darkness fear, When this sweet chant they hear, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 7 In heaven's eternal bliss The loveliest strain is this, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Let air, and sea, and sky From depth to height reply, May Jesus Christ be praisèd. 8 Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, May Jesus Christ be praisèd: Be this the eternal song Through all the ages on, May Jesus Christ be praisèd.

Who is this so weak and helpless

Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: NEH1985 #474 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 WHO is this so weak and helpless, Child of lowly Hebrew maid, Rudely in a stable sheltered, Coldly in a manger laid? 'Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path hath trod; He is God from everlasting, And to everlasting God. 2 Who is this--a Man of Sorrows, Walking sadly life's hard way, Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping Over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, Who above the starry sky Now for us a place prepareth Where no tear can dim the eye. 3 *Who is this--behold him raining Drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this--despised, rejected, Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces On his Church now poureth down; Who shall smite in holy vengeance All his foes beneath his throne. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying, With the thieves on either side? Nails his hands and feet are tearing, And the spear hath pierced his side. 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city Reigning everlastingly.

Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise. Topics: Michaelmas Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

Faith of our fathers, taught of old

Author: T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: NEH1985 #479 (1986) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers, taught of old By faithful shepherds of the fold. The hallowing of our nation; Thou wast through many a wealthy year, Through many a darkened day of fear The rock of our salvation. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who calls you; Who bids you live and bids you die For his great cause, and stands on high To witness what befalls you. 2 *Our fathers heard the trumpet call Through lowly cot and kingly hall From oversea resounding: They bowed their stubborn wills to learn The truths that live, the thoughts that burn, With new resolve abounding. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who guides you; Whose arm is bared to join the fray, Who marshals you in stern array. Fearless, whate'er betides you. 3 Our fathers held the faith received, By Saints declared, by Saints believed. By Saints in death defended; Through pain of doubt and bitterness, Through pain of treason and distress, They for the right contended. Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross of Christ who bought you; Who leads you forth in this new age With long-enduring hearts to wage The warfare he has taught you. 4 *Though frequent be the loud alarms, Though still we march by ambushed arms Of death and hell surrounded, With Christ for chief we fear no foe, Nor force nor craft can overthrow The Church that he has founded. *Arise, arise, good Christian men, Your glorious standard raise again, The Cross where with he signed you; The King himself shall lead you on, Shall watch you till the strife be done. Then near his throne shall find you.
