The Missionary Triumph

Author: Dwight Spencer Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Awake! awake! put on thy strength Lyrics: 1 Awake! awake! put on thy strength, Church of the living God; Shine forth! shine forth! thy light is come, Its beams diffuse abroad; To nations that in darkness wait, Send forth thy heralds bold; Till round the earth from pole to pole, The tidings glad are told. 2 They plead, "Send help!" Our country’s sons, From snow clad mount to sea; "Send forth! send forth! the Bread of Life," O hear your brother’s plea; And Asia’s millions join the cry, With Afric’s starving throng, While distant islands of the sea, The plaintive cry prolong. 3 They come! they come! The ransomed ones, Where’er on earth their homes; Lift up! lift up! thine eyes and see, At last thy triumph comes. O glorious hour! the voice from Heav’n Proclaims from shore to shore. They kingdoms of this world are Christ’s, He reigns forevermore. Used With Tune: TALLINN Text Sources: The Missionary Triumph by Sanford M. Brown and Joseph M. Hunt (Cincinnati, John Church Company, 1889)

Two Thousand Years Since Bethlehem

Author: Brian Hoare, 1935- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Two thousand years since Bethlehem first welcomed Jesus' birth: the startling truth began to dawn that God had come to earth. And as he grew and lived and taught a different way unfurled: a way of joy and love and peace, a new start for the world! 2 Two thousand years since Galilee where Jesus preached and healed; in words of truth and works of power God's kingdom was revealed. As young and old and rich and poor responded to his call, they found what we may find today: a new start for us all! 3 Two thousand years since Calvary, the hill where Jesus died; the Lamb of God, the sinless one, for me was crucified. But soon he rose up from the grave to reign in victory; good news I scarcely can believe; a new start won for me! 4 Two thousand years since Pentecost: the Holy Spirit came in sound of mighty, rushing wind and tongues of living flame; a gift to all who will believe and live the Jesus way; the power of God we may receive, a new start from today! 5 Two thousand years of Christian faith have changed our history, for Jesus is the Lord of time and of eternity. For all who seek a better way, than failure, sin and pain, still Jesus Christ makes all things new: a chance to start again! Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Good Is the Lord, the Heav'nly King

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Good is the Lord, the heav’nly King, Who makes the earth His care; Visits the pastures every spring, And bids the grass appear. The clouds, like rivers, raised on high Pour out at Thy command Their watery blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. 2. The softened ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring; The valleys rich provision yield, And the poor laborers sing. The little hills, on every side, Rejoice at falling showers; The meadows, dressed in all their pride, Perfume the air with flowers. 3. The barren clods, refreshed with rain, Promise a joyful crop; The parching grounds look green again, And raise the reaper’s hope. The various months Thy goodness crowns; How bounteous Thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o’er the downs, And shepherds shout Thy praise. Used With Tune: AMESBURY Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

I’m much forgiven; I’m a miracle of grace. 2 Once with Adam’s race in ruin, Unconcerned in sin I lay; Swift destruction still pursuing, Till my Saviour passed that way. Witness, all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer’s tenderness! Love I much? I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. 3 Shout, ye bright angelic choir! Praise the Lamb enthroned above; While, astonished, I admire God’s free grace and boundless love. That blest moment I received Him, Filled my soul with joy and peace; Love I much? I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. Topics: Christ Preciousness of Used With Tune: WINGROVE
