A charge to keep I have

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #508 (2010) Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, a never-dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, my calling to fulfil, O may it all my powers engage to do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with watchful care, as in thy sight to live; and, O, thy servant, Lord, prepare a good account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, and on thyself rely; and let me ne'er my trust betray, but press to realms on high.

A heavenly splendour from on high

Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #757 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A heavenly splendour from on high, a light too great for mortal eye, deprives the hunter of his prey and turns his threatening wrath away. 2 In darkened eyes, an inward light begins to shine upon his sight, as in his heart he hears the call to follow, and surrender all. 3 The Christ, for sinners crucified, whose risen power he had denied, now claims this servant for his own, and bids him make the gospel known. 4 The nations listen to his voice, and in the peace of Christ rejoice; the Church on earth his praises sing, who led the Gentiles to their King. 5 Blest Paul, the convert of the Lord, may heaven's light to us afford a blindness to the lures of sin, that we with thee a crown may win 6 To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, from saints on earth and saints in heaven, let everlasting praise be given.

A mighty sound from heaven

Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #199 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty sound from heaven at Pentecost there came, and filled the place of meeting with rushing wind and flame; what Christ had promised now occurred as each Apostle spoke the word beneath the Spirit's thunder, and to the ears of all who heard proclaimed salvation's wonder. 2 In Salem's street was gathered a crowd from many a land, and all in their own tongues did the Gospel understand, for by the triumph of the Son the curse of Babel was undone when God did send the Spirit; so to the blessèd Three in One be honour, praise, and merit. 3 Then come, all Christian people, keep festival today, for God the Holy Spirit dwells with the Church alway: and grieve him not, O Christian soul, his grace within shall make you whole in body, mind, and spirit, until you reach the promised goal, a kingdom to inherit.

A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #213 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye, who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. *3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; not they can overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? His doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. *4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #7 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Affirm anew the threefold name

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: CPWI2010 #214 (2010) Lyrics: 1 Affirm anew the threefold name of Father, Spirit, Son, our God whose saving acts proclaim a world's salvation won. In him alone we live and move and breath and being find, the wayward children of his love who cares for humankind. 2 Declare in all the earth his grace, to every heart his call, the living Lord of time and place whose love embraces all. So shall his endless praise be sung, his teaching truly heard, and every culture, every tongue, receive his timeless word. 3 Confirm our faith in this our day amid earth's shifting sand, with Christ as life and truth and way, a rock on which to stand; the one eternal Son and Lord by God the Father given, the true and life-imparting word, the Way that leads to heaven. 4 Renew once more the ancient fire, let love our hearts inflame; renew, restore, unite, inspire the church that bears your name; one name exalted over all, one Father, Spirit, Son, O grant us grace to heed your call and in that name be one.

Author: Thomas à Kempis, c1380-1471; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #33 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord’s own day is here, the day to Christian people dear, as, week by week, it bids them tell how Jesus rose from death and hell. 2 For by his flock their Lord declared his Resurrection should be shared; and we who trust in Him to save with him are risen from the grave. 3 We, one and all, of him possessed, are with exceeding treasures blessed; for all he did, and all he bare, he gives us as our own to share. 4 Eternal glory, rest on high, a blessed immortality, true peace and gladness, and a throne, are all his gifts, and all our own. 5 And therefore unto thee we sing, O Lord of peace, Eternal King; thy love we praise, thy name adore, both on this day and evermore.
