Of circling planets singing on their way,
Guide of the nations from the night profound
Into the glory of the perfect day,
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be
Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee.
2 We are of thee, the children of thy love,
The brothers of thy well-beloved Son;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove
Into our hearts, that we may be as one:
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
As one with him our brother and our friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song,
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,
One in the power that makes thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armor, Lord,
Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
Our inspiration be thy constant word;
We ask no victories that are not thine;
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,
Enough to know that we are serving thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:10-11 Tune Title: SONG 1

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #405 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Reign of Christ; Christ--Victorious; Christian year--Ascension; Christian year--Reign of Christ; Salvation Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne;
hark, how the heav'nly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who set us free,
and hail him as your matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds yet visible above,
in beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bend their burning eye
at mysteries so bright.
3 Crown him the Lord of life,
who triumphed o’er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing,
who died and rose on high,
who died, eternal life to bring
and lives that death may die.
4 Crown him the Lord of years,
the risen Lord sublime,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
the Master of all time.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
for you have died for me;
your praise and glory shall not fail
throughout eternity.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: The Worshipbook #438 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King":
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Tune Title: CAROL

As seasons come and go;
The hand that shaped the rose has wrought
The crystal of the snow,
Has sent the hoary frost of heaven,
The flowing waters sealed,
And laid a silent loveliness
On hill and wood and field.
2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure
The radiant morns unfold;
The solemn splendors of the night
Burn brighter through the cold.
Life mounts in every throbbing vein,
Love deepens round the hearth,
And clearer sounds the angel hymn,
"Good will to men on earth."
3 O God, from whose unfathomed law
The year in beauty flows,
Yourself the vision passing by
In crystal and in rose,
Day unto day does utter speech,
And night to night proclaim,
In ever-changing words of light,
The wonder of your name.

The muttered cry was drowned
By Abel's life-blood shouting
In silence from the ground.
For no man is an island
Divided from the main—
The bell which tolled for Abel
Tolled equally for Cain.
2 The ruler called for water
And thought his hands were clean.
Christ counted less than order,
The man than the machine.
The crowd cried, "Crucify him!,"
Their malice wouldn't budge,
So Pilate called for water,
And history's his judge.
3 As long as people hunger,
As long as people thirst,
And ignorance and illness
And warfare do their worst,
As long as there's injustice
In any of God's lands,
I am my brother's keeper,
I dare not wash my hands.
Amen. Tune Title: WHITFORD

praise for mercies daily twining

we would praise you and surrender

with so blessed a friend provided,

that such sharp sentence should on you be spoken?
Of what great crime have you to make confession--
what dark transgression?
2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you;
with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you;
they give you gall to drink, they still decry you;
they crucify you.
3 What is the source of all your mortal anguish?
It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish;
yes, all the wrath, the woe, that you inherit,
this I do merit.
4 How strange is this great paradox to ponder;
the shepherd dies for sheep who love to wander;
the master pays the debt his servants owe him,
who would not know him.

3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart:
Teach us to ban all ugliness,
And all disharmony,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free!
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, your Son,
Whose life and death reveal your face,

Help us to spread your gracious reign
Till greed and hate shall cease,
And kindness dwell in human hearts,
And all the earth find peace!

Of every race and land,
Redeem the whole creation
With your almighty hand;
Where hate and fear divide us,
And bitter threats are hurled,
In love and mercy guide us
And heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
And scorn of truth and right,
From trust in bombs that shower
Destruction through the night,
From pride of race and nation
And blindness to your way,
Deliver every nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
That men may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase;
When hope and courage falter,
Your still small voice be heard;
With faith that none can alter,
Your servants undergird.

Of days when war shall cease,

Give way to love and peace,
Till dawns the morning glorious
When brotherhood shall reign,
And Christ shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain.

the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ’s incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation,
his bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
God’s eye to watch, God’s might to stay,
God’s ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
God’s heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund Sears, 1810-76 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #29 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Michaelmas Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
'Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King!'
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing;
And ever o'er it Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
4 For, lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When, with the ever-circling years,
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendours fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing. Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
It came upon the midnight clear
