Lord; I believe a Rest remains
Appears in 243 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:46 Lyrics: 1 Lord; I believe a Rest remains,
To all thy People known,
A Rest where pure Enjoyment reigns,
And Thou art lov'd alone.
2 A Rest, where all our Souls Desire
Is fixt on Things above;
Where Fear and Sin, and Grief expire,
Cast out by perfect Love.
3 Oh that I now the Rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now Saviour,, now the Pow'r bestow,
And let me cease from Sin!
4 Remove all Hardness from my Heart,
This Unbelief remove;
To me the Rest of Faith impart,
The Sabbath of thy love.
5 I would be thine; thou know'st I would,
And have thee all my own:
Thee, Oh! my All-Sufficient good,
I want, and thee alone.
6 Thy Name to me, thy Nature grant!
This, only this, be giv'n:
Nothing beside my God I want,
Nothing in Earth and Heav'n.
7 Come, Oh my Saviour, come away,
Into my Soul descend!
No longer from thy Creature stay,
My Author and my End!
8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
And Seal me thine abode!
Let all I am in thee be lost,
Let all be lost in God.

Begin, my soul, the exalted lay
Author: Ogilvie Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:46 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, the exalted lay;
Let each enraptured thought obey,
And praise the Almighty name;
Lo! heaven, and earth, and seas, and skies,
In one melodious concert rise,
To swell the inspiring theme.

Ye clouds, proclaim your Maker, God;
Ye thunders, speak his power;
Lo! on the lightning's fiery wing
In triumph rides the eternal King
The astonished worlds adore.

To join the thunders of the skies;
Praise him who bids you roll;
His praise in softer notes declare,
Each whispering breeze of yielding air,
And breathe it to the soul. Topics: General Praise; Call for Universal Praise

Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:39-57 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his name! Topics: Epiphany (feast); Gathering of the Community; Offertory; Praise of God Used With Tune: ÜTTINGEN (WAS LEBET)

At the cross her station keeping
Author: Jacopone Da Todi d. 1306; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:48 Lyrics: 1 At the cross her station keeping
stood the mournful Mother weeping,
where he hung, the dying Lord;
for her soul, of joy bereavèd,
bowed with anguish, deeply grievèd,
felt the sharp and piercing sword.
2 O how sad and sore distressèd
now was she, that Mother blessèd
of the sole-begotten one!
Deep the woe of her affliction,
when she saw the crucifixion
of her ever-glorious Son.
3 Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing
pierced by anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking
such a cup of sorrow drinking,
would not share her sorrows deep?
4 For his people's sins chastisèd,
she beheld her Son despisèd,
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined;
saw him then from judgement taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
5 O good Jesu, let me borrow
something of thy Mother's sorrow,
fount of love, Redeemer kind,
that my heart fresh ardour gaining,
and a purer love attaining,
may with thee acceptance find. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Used With Tune: STABAT MATER

try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
cleanse me from every sin and set me free.
2 I praise thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
fulfill thy Word and make me pure within.
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
grant my desire to magnify thy name.
3 Lord, take my life and make it wholly thine;
fill my poor heart with thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;
I now surrender, Lord--in me abide.
