In the Cross of Christ I glory

Author: John Bowring, 1792 - 1872 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #64b (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS Lyrics: 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive and fears annoy, Never shall the Cross forsake me; Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the Cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the Cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731 - 1800 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #495b (1958) Tune Title: CRUGER Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown tomorrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But he will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing Will clothe his people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed, And he who feeds the ravens Will give his children bread. 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God, the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For, while in him confiding I cannot but rejoice.

Christ for the world we sing

I know not what the future hath

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #593b (1958) Tune Title: DALEHURST Lyrics: 1 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. 2 I know not where his islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. 3 And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 4 And thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on thee. 5 And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruisèd reed thou wilt not break, But strengthen and sustain.

One there is above all others

Author: John Newton, 1725 - 1807 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #456b (1958) Tune Title: DANA Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end; They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed their blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in him to God; This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abasèd, 'Friend of sinners' was his Name; Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same; Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often What a friend we have above; But when home our souls are brought We will love thee as we ought.

A-men. 4 Wherever goodness lurks We catch thy tones appealing; Where man for justice works Thou art thyself revealing; The blood of man, for man On friendship's altar spilt, Betrays the mystic plan On which thy house is built. 5 Thou hidden fount of love, Of peace, and truth, and beauty, Inspire us from above With joy and strength for duty. May thy fresh light arise Within each clouded heart, And give us open eyes To see thee as thou art. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - In The Presence Languages: English

May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth, hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone, Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power he comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Come, O thou Traveler unknown

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #471 (1958) Tune Title: DAVID'S HARP Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveler unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see; My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee; With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am, My misery or sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name; Look on thy hands, and read it there! But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 I know thee, Saviour, who thou art, Jesus, the feeble sinner's friend; Nor wilt thou with the night depart, But stay and love me to the end: Thy mercies never shall remove; Thy nature and thy Name is Love. A-men. 4 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy name is Love. 5 ’Tis Love, ’tis Love, thou died'st for me! I hear thy whisper in my heart! The morning breaks, the shadows flee; Pure universal love thou art; To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. Amen.

How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day! 5 In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain the drifting sands: Unharmed upon the eternal Rock The eternal city stands.
