Fierce was the wild billow

Author: John Mason Neale; Anatolius Hymnal: LHTC1918 #48 (1917) Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night, Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white; Trembled the mariners, Peril was nigh: Then said the God of God, "Peace! it is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain-wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of the tempest wind, Be thou at rest! Sorrow can never be, Darkness must fly, Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! it is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! it is I." Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ADJUTOR

'Tis good, Lord, to be here!

Author: Joseph Armitage Robinson Hymnal: LHTC1918 #49 (1917) Lyrics: 1 'Tis good, Lord, to be here! Thy glory fills the night; Thy face and garments, like the sun, Shine with unborrowed light. 2 'Tis good, Lord, to be here, Thy beauty to behold Where Moses and Elijah stand, Thy messengers of old. 3 Fulfiller of the past! Promise of things to be! We hail Thy Body glorified, And our redemption see. 4 Before we taste of death, We see Thy kingdom come; We fain would hold the vision bright, And make this hill our home. 5 'Tis good, Lord, to be here! Yet we may not remain; But since Thou bidst us leave the mount Come with us to the plain. Amen. Topics: The Church Epiphany; The Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: DEDICATION

In His Temple now behold Him

Author: Henry John Pye Hymnal: LHTC1918 #50 (1917) Lyrics: 1 In His temple now behold Him, See the long-expected Lord; Ancient prophets had foretold Him, God has now fulfilled His Word.

Lo, the incarnate God Most High! 3 Jesus, by Thy Presentation, Thou Who didst for us endure, Make us see Thy great salvation, Seal us with Thy promise sure; And present us in Thy glory, To Thy Father, cleansed and pure.

Light of the Gentile nations

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #51 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people’s Joy and Love! Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E’en now, in every place, Where Thy true Word hath promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee, As once that agèd seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines ’mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross; A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness; In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon, to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith. Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee. Amen.

My dear Redeemer, and my Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #52 (1917) Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in Thy Word, But in Thy life the law appears, Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such def'rence to Thy Father’s will, Such love, and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer: The desert Thy temptation knew, Thy conflict, and Thy vict'ry, too. 4. Be Thou my Pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God, the Judge shall own my name Amongst the followers of the Lamb. Amen.

Behold, where in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Hymnal: LHTC1918 #53 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood. His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labored for their good. 4 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resigned He bowed, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!" 5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide! His image may we bear! O may we tread His holy steps, His joys and glory share! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

O mean may seem this house of clay

Author: Thomas Hornblower Gill Hymnal: LHTC1918 #54 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O mean may seem this house of clay, Yet ’twas the Lord’s abode; Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Yet here Emmanuel trod. 2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear; This watch the Lord did keep; These burdens sore the Lord did bear; These tears the Lord did weep. 3 This world the Master overcame; This death the Lord did die; O vanquished world! O glorious shame! O hallowed agony! 4 O vale of tears, no longer sad, Wherein the Lord did dwell! O holy robe of flesh that clad Our own Emmanuel! 5 Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given. Amen.

How shall I follow Him I serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: LHTC1918 #55 (1917) Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessèd footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 3 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night:-- 4 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SAXBY

Feeble, helpless, how shall I

Author: William Henry Furness Hymnal: LHTC1918 #56 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die? Who, O God, my guide shall be? Who shall lead Thy child to Thee? 2 Blessèd Father, gracious One, Thou hast sent Thy Holy Son; He will give the light I need, He my trembling steps will lead. 3 Through this world, uncertain, dim, Let me ever learn on Him, From His precepts wisdom draw, Make His life my solemn law. 4 Thus in deed, and thought, and word, Led by Jesus Christ, the Lord, In my weakness, thus shall I Learn to live and learn to die.

Alleluia! Song of gladness

Hymnal: LHTC1918 #57 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Song of gladness, Voice of everlasting joy; Alleluia! Sound the sweetest Heard among the choirs on high, Hymning in God's blissful mansion Day and night incessantly. 2 Alleluia! Church victorious, Thou may'st lift the joyful strain: Alleluia! Songs of triumph Well befit the ransomed train. Faint and feeble are our praises While in exile we remain. 3 Alleluia! Songs of gladness Suit not always souls forlorn; Alleluia! Sounds of sadness 'Midst our joyful strains are borne; For in this dark world of sorrow We with tears our sins must mourn. 4 Praises with our prayers uniting, Hear us, blessèd Trinity; Bring us to Thy blissful presence, There the Paschal Lamb to see, There to Thee our Alleluia Singing everlastingly. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ALLELUIA, DULCE CARMEN
