When morning gilds the skies
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 6.6.6 D Appears in 700 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair;
may Jesus Christ be praised.
*2 Whene'er the sweet church bell
peals over hill and dell,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
O hark to what it sings,
as joyously it rings,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
3 My tongue shall never tire
of chanting with the choir,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
this song of sacred joy,
it never seems to cloy,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
4 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
5 The night becomes as day,
when from the heart we say,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
the powers of darkness fear,
when this sweet chant they hear,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
6 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
be this the eternal song
through ages all along,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

Ye holy angels bright
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691; J. H. Gurney Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song,
for else the theme
too high doth seem
for mortal tongue.
2 Ye blessèd souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
his praises sound,
as in his sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
take what he gives
and praise him still,
through good and ill,
who ever lives.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love;
let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er he send,
be filled with praise. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

With glorious clouds encompassed round
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With glorious clouds encompassed round,
whom angels dimly see,
will the Unsearchable be found,
or God appear to me?
2 Will he forsake his throne above,
himself to me impart?
Answer, thou Man of grief and love,
and speak it to my heart!
3 In manifested love explain
thy wonderful design;
what meant the suffering Son of Man?
the streaming blood divine?
4 Didst thou not in our flesh appear,
and live and die below,
that I may now perceive thee near,
and my Redeemer know?
5 Come then, and to my soul reveal
the heights and depths of grace,
those wounds which all my sorrows heal,
that dear disfigured face.
6 I view the Lamb in his own light,
whom angels dimly see,
and gaze, transported at the sight,
through all eternity. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Used With Tune: MANCHESTER

We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let men deride,
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away:
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent V Year B Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL

and hidden glory lies. Topics: Epiphany III Year C; Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 18 Year C; Bible Sunday Scripture: Psalm 119:16 Used With Tune: BILLING

not for ease that prayer shall be,

live our lives courageously.

do we ask our way to be;
but the steep and rugged pathway
may we tread rejoicingly.

would we idly rest and stay;
but would smite the living fountains
from the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
in our wanderings be our guide;
through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side. Topics: Lent I Year A; Proper 9 Year B; Epiphany III Year A Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Used With Tune: MARCHING

thy people's everlasting light,
Jesu, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst come to save our fallen race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.
3 When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst, in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a virgin-mother's womb.
*4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.
5 To thee, O Holy One, we pray,
our judge in that tremendous day,
ward off, while yet we dwell below,
the weapons of our crafty foe.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Advent Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME Text Sources: Latin
