Lord, "tis Not that I Did Choose You

Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855; Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: WS2000 #776 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Lord, 'tis not that I did choose You Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose You; That, I know, could never be, For this heart would still refuse You Had Your grace not chosen me. You removed the sin that stained me, Cleansing me to be Your own; For this purpose You ordained me, That I live for you alone. 2 It was grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind, Else the world had yet enthralled me, To Your heav'nly glories blind. Now I worship none above You; For Your grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love You, You, O Father, loved me first. 3 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer. All but heav'n is transitory; God's own hand shall guide you there. Soon shall end this earthly story; Swift shall pass the pilgrim days, Hope soon change to heav'nly glory, Faith to sight and prayer to praise.

Lord, You Love the Cheerful Giver

Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1909 Hymnal: WS2000 #788 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, You love the cheerful giver Who with open heart and hand Blesses freely, as a river That refreshes all the land. Grant us, then, the grace of giving With a spirit large and true That our life and all our living We may consecrate to You. 2 We are Yours--Your mercy sought us, Found us in death's dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Nevermore from You to stray. Your own life was freely given As an off'ring on the cross For each sinner, now forgiven From eternal shame and loss. 3 Blessed by You with gifts and graces, May we heed Your Spirit's call, Gladly in all times and places Give to You who gives us all. You have bought us; now no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger We shall serve You, Lord, alone. Topics: Stewardship Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING SAVIOR

God, we name You sov'reign Lord! Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by Your Church adored: All creation shows Your glory; Heav'n and earth draw near Your throne, Singing, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set their world ablaze, Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise, While Your Church on earth confesses One majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Everlasting Son of God, Humble was Your virgin mother, Hard the lonely path You trod: By Your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face, Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, You will judge the world You made; Lord, in mercy help Your servants For whose freedom You have paid: Raise us up from dust to glory; Guard us from all sin today. King enthroned above all praises, Save Your people, God, we pray. Topics: Hymns of the Liturgy Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: WS2000 #774 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done; Soon were our loss effected. But for us fights the valiant One Whom God Himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, The almighty Lord. And there's none other God; He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill: They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done! One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And do what they will-- Hate, steal, hurt, or kill-- Though all may be gone, Our victory is won; The kingdom's ours forever! Topics: Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG

What Child Is This

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: WS2000 #712 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What child is this who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet With anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the Son of Mary! 2 Why lies He in such mean estate Where oxen now are feeding? Good Christians, fear; For sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce Him through; The cross He'll bear for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The babe, the Son of Mary! 3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own Him. The King of kings Salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high; The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The babe, the Son of Mary!

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: WS2000 #710 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 But our eyes at last shall see Him Through His own redeeming love, For that Child, so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heav'n above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 4 Not in that poor, lowly stable With the oxen standing by Shall we see Him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high. Then like stars His children crowned, All in white, His praise will sound. Topics: Christmas Tune Title: IRBY

Long Before the World Is Waking

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: WS2000 #735 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Long before the world is waking, Morning mist on Galilee, From the shore, as dawn is breaking, Jesus calls across the sea; Hails the boat of weary men, Bids them cast their net again. 2 So they cast, and all their heaving Cannot haul their catch aboard; John in wonder turns, perceiving, Cries aloud, "It is the Lord!" Peter waits for nothing more, Plunges in to swim ashore. 3 Charcoal embers brightly burning, Bread and fish upon them laid: Jesus stands at day's returning In His risen life arrayed; As of old His friends to greet, "Here is breakfast; come and eat." 4 Christ is risen! Grief and sighing, Sins and sorrows, fall behind; Fear and failure, doubt, denying, Full and free forgiveness find. All the soul's dark night is past, Morning breaks in joy at last. 5 Morning breaks, and Jesus meets us, Feeds and comforts, pardons still; As His faithful friends He greets us, Partners of His work and will. All our days, on ev'ry shore, Christ is ours for evermore! Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS (ZEUCH MICH)
