When the death shades round us lower, Guard us from the tempter's power, Keep us in that trial hour: Hear us, Holy Jesus. May thy life and death supply Grace to live and grace to die, Grace to reach the home on high: Hear us, Holy Jesus. Amen. Topics: The Words on the Cross Used With Tune: WORDS ON THE CROSS

Lord God of hosts, Whose mighty hand

Author: John Oxenham Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: Lord God of hosts, whose mighty hand Dominion holds on sea and land, In peace and war thy will we see Shaping the larger liberty; Nations may rise and nations fall, Thy changeless purpose rules them all. For those who weak and broken lie In weariness and agony, Great Healer, to their beds of pain Come, touch and make them whole again. O hear a people's prayers, and bless Thy servants in their hour of stress! For those to whom the call shall come, We pray thy tender welcome home; The toil, the bitterness, all past, We trust them to thy love at last. O hear a people's prayers for all Who, nobly striving, nobly fall! For those who minister and heal, And spend themselves, their skill, their zeal; Renew their hearts with Christ-like faith, And guard them from disease and death; And in thine own good time, Lord, send Thy peace on earth till time shall end.

Dost thou in a manger lie

Author: Jean Mauburn; Elizabeth Charles Meter: Irregular Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: Dost thou in a manger lie, Who hast all created, Stretching infant hands on high, Savior, long awaited? If a monarch, where thy state? Where thy court on thee to wait? Royal purple, where? Here no regal pomp we see; Naught but need and penury: Why thus cradled here? 512 Pitying love for fallen man Brought me down thus low; For a race deep lost in sin, Came I into woe. By this lowly birth of mine, Sinner, riches shall be thine, Matchless gifts and free; Willingly this yoke I take, And this sacrifice I make, Heaping joys for thee. Fervent praise would I to thee Evermore be raising; For thy wondrous love to me Thee be ever praising. Glory, glory be for ever Unto that most bounteous Giver, And that loving Lord! Better witness to thy worth, Purer praise than ours on earth, Angels' songs afford. Amen. Topics: Christmas; Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Used With Tune: MAUBURN Text Sources: Latin

O Jesus! Lord most merciful

Author: James Hamilton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: O Jesus! Lord most merciful, Low at thy cross I lie; O sinner's Friend, most pitiful, Hear my bewailing cry. I come to thee with mourning, I come to thee in woe; With contrite heart returning, And tears that overflow. O gracious Intercessor! O Priest within the veil! Plead, for a lost transgressor, The blood that cannot fail. I spread my sins before thee, I tell them one by one; O for thy Name's great glory, Forgive all I have done! O by thy cross and passion, Thy tears and agony, And crown of cruel fashion, And death on Calvary; By all that untold suffering Endured by thee alone; O Priest! O spotless Offering! Plead for me and atone! And in this heart now broken, Reenter thou and reign; And say, by that dear token, I am absolved again; And build me up, and guide me, And guard me day by day; And in thy presence hide me, And keep my soul alway. Amen. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: NEED

God of the nations, Who hast led

Author: Frederick Edwards Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: God of the nations, who hast led Thy children since the world began, Through doubt and struggle, pain and tears, Unfolding thy eternal plan; From countless hilltops as of old The fire upon the altar flares; Through countless rites, in countless tongues, Men offer their imperfect prayers; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. O Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son, Who bore our flesh that men might see The Vision of the Perfect Life Fashioned in their humanity; By all thy words of heavenly truth, By all thy deeds of mercy wrought, 402 By all the passion of thy cross, By the redemption thou hast brought; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. O Holy Spirit, who dost touch The prophets with thy sacred fire, Eternal Wisdom to whose light All seekers after truth aspire; Behold the warring sons of men, The helpless by the strong oppressed, The truth with error still concealed, The evil grudgingly confessed; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. O God Triune, thy Church today In penitence before thee kneels, Mourning her years of slothful ease, Her deafness to the world's appeals; Divided where she should be one, Enamoured of a lesser strife, Tithing the mint and cummin while Men perish for the Bread of Life; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. Restore to us the vision, Lord, Descend with fires of Pentecost; Our tongues unloose, our hearts inflame, To preach the Gospel to the lost: Here at thy feet our prayer is made, Here life and wealth we dedicate; Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, Lord, thy anointing we await; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in thy reign of truth and peace. Amen. Topics: National Days Used With Tune: PAX VERITATIS
