O, The Blessed Promise
Author: J. C. Starr Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: O, the blessed promise given Lyrics: 1 O, the blessèd promise given
On the hills of Galilee
To the weary, heavy laden,
Still is made to you and me.
Many a heart has thrilled to hear it,
Many a tear been wiped away,
Many a load of sin been lifted,
Many a midnight turned to day.
2 Many a broken, contrite spirit,
Lonely, sorrowing and sad,
Felt the mighty consolation,
Heard the heavenly tidings glad;
And the dying gazed with rapture,
Trusting in the Savior’s name,
On the land of rest and refuge,
When the Burden Bearer came.
3 Every phase of human sorrow
Fills the path we tread today;
Harps are hanging on the willows,
Souls are fainting by the way;
But there still is balm in Gilead,
And though here on earth we weep,
God within the many mansions,
Giveth His belovèd sleep.
4 On the cloud the rainbow glitters,
Shines the star of faith above;
God will not forsake or leave us—
Let us trust His truth and love,
And beyond the shining river
We shall bless His holy name,
That to bear our sins and sorrows,
Christ the Burden Bearer came. Used With Tune: CAPRI

Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in Thee.

Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry longing heart.

Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

Raise us to Thy glorious throne. Topics: Jesus, Advent; Jesus, Deliverer Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
We, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
That our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

Thy Sacred Word, O Lord, of Old
Author: Olavus Petri, (1497-1552) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy sacred Word, O Lord, of old
Was veiled about and darkened,
And in its stead were legends told,
To which the people harkened;
thy Word, for which the faithful yearned,
The worldlings kept in hiding,
And into human fables turned
Thy truth, the all-abiding.
2 Now thanks and praise be to our Lord,
Who boundless grace bestoweth,
And daily through the sacred Word
His precious gifts forthshoweth.
His Word is come to light again,
A trusty lamp to guide us;
No strange and divers teachings then
Bewilder and divide us.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Word of God Used With Tune: O GUD! DITT RIKE INGEN SER

We'll Meet In Heaven
Without blood is no remission
Author: Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Without blood is no remission;
Thus the law proclaims from heaven;
Blood must flow--on this condition,
This alone, is sin forgiven:
Yes, a victim must be slain,
Else all hope of life is vain.
2 But the victim--who shall find it?
Such a one as sinners need?
To the altar who shall bind it?
Who shall make the victim bleed?
Questions these of anxious thought,
Till the word of God is bright.
3 God himself provides the Victim--
Jesus is the Lamb of God;
Heaven and earth and hell afflict him,
While he bears the sinner's load:
'Tis his blood, and that alone,
Can for human guilt atone.
