Christ, by heav'nly hosts ador'd

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #296 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Christ, by heav'nly hosts ador'd, Gracious, mighty, sov'reign Lord, God of nations, King of kings, Head of all created things, By the Church with joy confess'd, God o'er all forever blest; Pleading at Thy throne we stand, Save Thy people, bless our land. 2 On our fields of grass and grain Send, O Lord, the kindly rain; O'er our wide and goodly land Crown the labors of each hand. Let Thy kind protection be O'er our commerce on the sea: Open, Lord, Thy bounteous hand, Bless Thy people, bless our land. 3 Let our rulers ever be Men that love and honor Thee; Let the powers by Thee ordained Be in righteousness maintained; In the people's hearts increase Love of piety and peace; Thus united we shall stand One wide, free, and happy land.

Christ, everlasting Source of light

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #34 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Christ, everlasting Source of light, All things are open to Thy sight; Thou Splendor of Thy Father's face, Show us the path of truth and grace. 2 We now implore Thy sovereign might To keep us, Lord, the coming night; Preserve us, Lord, from all distress; O God, Thy mercy we address. 3 Remove our sinful drowsiness; Let Satan not our soul oppress; Our feeble flesh keep chaste and pure, And let us rest in Thee secure. 4 And when our eyes are bound in sleep, The lamp of faith still burning keep; Thy hand sustain us, while we rest; Remove our sin, and we are blest. 5 Great Guardian of thy Christian flock, Thy presence be our saving rock; Thine agony and holy blood Be always our support, O God! 6 Remember, Lord, the woes and pains Which here our body hold in chains; Our soul, which Thou hast ransomed, Lord, O comfort with Thy holy Word. 7 To God the Father, and the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One, Be glory, praise, and majesty Now, ever, and eternally.

Christ is our Corner-stone

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #453 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone, On Him alone we build: With His true saints alone The courts of heav'n are filled; On His great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. 2 Oh, then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise, The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim in joyful song Both loud and long, that glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower, on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.

Christ, the Life of all the living

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #196 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living, Christ, the Death of death, our foe, Who Thyself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Madest reconciliation, And hast saved me from damnation: Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah! Thou, hast taken on Thee Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God! Thus didst Thou my soul deliver From the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduring, Blessing unto me securing. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee, Treating Thee with cruel scorn, E'en with piercing thorns they crowned Thee; All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne, That as Thine Thou mightest own me, And with heavenly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee, That from pain I might be free; Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee-- Thence I gain security; Comfortless once Thou didst languish, Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 6 Thou hast suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, That Thou might'st atone for me; Thou didst choose to be tormented, That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English

"Christ, the Lord, is risen today"

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #221 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 "Christ, the Lord, is risen today," Sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and, earth, reply. 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! He sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ has opened Paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, He all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! 6 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Topics: Easter Languages: English

With Thy wonted loving-kindness Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within these walls alway. 3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 4 Praise and honor to the Father, Praise and honor to the Son, Praise and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and one in glory, While eternal ages run.

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #100 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise, Triumph o’er the shades of night; Day-spring from on high, be near, Day-star, in my heart appear! 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till Thy mercy’s beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 3 Visit, then, this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, Radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief, More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.

Christians, come, in sweetest measures

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #121 (1918) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Christians, come, in sweetest measures, Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospel shrined; Blessed tidings of salvation, Peace on earth their proclamation, Love from God to lost mankind. 2 See the rivers four that gladden With their streams the better Eden, Planted by our Savior dear: Christ the fountain, these the waters; Drink, O Zion’s sons and daughters, Drink, and find salvation here. 3 Here our souls, by Jesus sated, More and more shall be translated Earth’s temptations far above: Freed from sin’s abhorred dominion, Soaring on angelic pinion, They shall reach the source of love. 4 Then shall thanks and praise ascending, For Thy mercies without ending, Rise to Thee, O Savior blest: With Thy gracious aid defend us; Let Thy guiding light attend us; Bring us to Thy place of rest.
