This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping
Author: Peter Abélard (1079-1142); Richard Sturch (b. 1936) Hymnal: AM2013 #173 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Person Name: Peter Abélard (1079-1142) Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim's will;
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing,
sin brings about the cure for sin's own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hands to treason's,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgement on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter's laughter and its liberty. Topics: Atonement; Church Year Maundy Thursday; Holy Communion; Jesus Names and images for; Maundy Thursday Scripture: Matthew 26:14-68 Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR

E'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be:

nearer to thee!'
2 Though, like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
3 There let the way appear
steps unto heaven —
all that thou sendest me
in mercy given —
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee! Topics: Angels; Assurance; Funerals and The Departed; Grief; Sorrow Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Languages: English Tune Title: HORBURY

The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: AM2013 #550 (2013) Person Name: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
with all the blue ethereal sky,
and spangled heavens, a shining frame,
their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun from day to day
does his Creator's power display,
and publishes to every land
the work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail
the moon takes up the wondrous tale,
and nightly to the listening earth
repeats the story of her birth;
whilst all the stars that round her burn,
and all the planets in their turn,
confirm the tidings, as they roll,
and spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence all
move round the dark terrestrial ball;
what though nor real voice nor sound
amid their radiant orbs be found;
in reason's ear they all rejoice,
and utter forth a glorious voice,
for ever singing as they shine,
'The hand that made us is divine.' Topics: Creation; Creation and the Environment; God Power of; Truth Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: ADDISON'S

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

and feed me with a shepherd's care;
his presence shall my wants supply,
and guard me with a watchful eye;
my noonday walks he shall attend,
and all my midnight hours defend.
2 When in the sultry glebe I faint,
or on the thirsty mountain pant,
to fertile vales and dewy meads
my weary wandering steps he leads,
where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
amid the verdant landscape flow.
3 Though in a bare and rugged way
through devious lonely wilds I stray,
thy bounty shall my pains beguile;
the barren wilderness shall smile
with sudden greens and herbage crowned,
and streams shall murmur all around.
4 Though in the paths of death I tread,
with gloomy horrors overspread,
my steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
for thou, 0 Lord, art with me still:
thy friendly staff shall give me aid,
and guide me through the dreadful shade. Topics: Assurance; Comfort and Consolation; Death and Bereavement; God Presence of; Providence; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: SURREY

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Hymnal: AM2013 #820 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
with heedless steps I ran,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
and led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee,
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Topics: Adoration; Praise; Stages of Life; Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 103:1-19 Languages: English Tune Title: CONTEMPLATION
When all thy mercies, O my God
God is working his purpose out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Hymnal: AM2013 #646 (2013) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out,
as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
wherever feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents,
ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work,
to prosper and increase
the love of God in all mankind,
the reign of the Prince of peace?
What can we do to hasten the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea?
4 March we forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world;
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin,
to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
5 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: AM2013 #81 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the lowly maiden,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feeleth for our sadness,
and he shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high;
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Topics: Children; Children and All-Age Worship; Christmas; Christmas Midnight; Church Year Christmas; Devotion; Future hope; Heaven; Mary; Obedience Scripture: Daniel 12:3 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: AM2013 #153 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
without a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven, and let us in.
5 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Atonement; Children and All-Age Worship; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; God Love of; Good Friday; Love for God; Passiontide Scripture: Hebrews 13:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY
