Thou, whose almighty word
Author: John Marriott, 1780-1825 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #241 (2010) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose almighty word
chaos and darkness heard,
and took their flight;
hear us, we humbly pray,
and where the Gospel-day
sheds not its glorious ray,
let there be light.
2 Thou, who didst come to bring
on thy redeeming wing
healing and sight,
health to the sick in mind,
sight to the inly blind,
O now to all mankind
let there be light.
3 Spirit of truth and love,
life-giving, holy Dove,
speed forth thy flight;
move on the water's face,
bearing the lamp of grace,
and in earth's darkest place
let there be light.
4 Holy and blessèd Three,
glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might;
boundless as ocean's tide
rolling in fullest pride,
through the earth far and wide
let there be light. Topics: General Hymns God the Father; Hymns for the Church Year Trinity Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: MOSCOW

On this day, the first of days
Author: Anonymous; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #31 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: Genesis 1:3-5 Lyrics: 1 On this day, the first of days,
God the Father’s name we praise;
who, creation’s Lord and Spring
did the world from darkness bring.
2 On this day the Eternal Son
over death his triumph won;
on this day the Spirit came
with his gifts of living flame.
3 O that fervent love today
may in every heart have sway,
teaching us to praise aright
God the source of life and light.
4 Father, who didst fashion me
image of thyself to be,
fill me with thy love divine,
let my every thought be thine.
5 Holy Jesus, may I be
dead and buried here with thee;
and, by love inflamed, arise
unto thee a sacrifice.
6 Thou who dost all gifts impart,
shine, sweet Spirit, in my heart;
best of gifts thyself bestow;
make me burn thy love to know.
7 God, the blessèd Three in One,
dwell within my heart alone;
thou dost give thyself to me;
may I give myself to thee. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: LÜBECK

O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #533 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 5:24 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame;
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: General Hymns Service and Witness Languages: English Tune Title: CAITHNESS

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #420 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
hast all our fathers led;
2 our vows, our prayers, we now present
before thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
our wandering footsteps guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM
O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Nearer, my God, to thee
Author: Sarah F. Adams, 1805-1878 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #532 (2010) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me;
still all my song shall be,
'nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
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, 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, 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, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee. Topics: General Hymns Service and Witness Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

and own how dreadful is this place!
Let all within us feel his power,
and silent bow before his face;
who knows his power, his grace who prove,
serve him with awe, with reverence love.
2 Lo, God is here! Him day and night
rejoicing choirs of angels sing;
to him, enthroned above all height,
the host of heaven their praises bring:
disdain not, Lord, our meaner song,
who praise thee with a faltering tongue.
3 Beings of beings! May our praise
thy courts with grateful fragrance fill;
still may we stand before thy face,
still hear and do thy sovereign will;
to thee may all our thoughts arise
a true and ceaseless sacrifice.

Shepherd Divine, our wants relieve
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #489 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 32:24-27 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd Divine, our wants relieve
in this our evil day;
to all thy tempted followers give
the power to watch and pray.
2 Long as our fiery trials last,
long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never-ceasing prayer.
3 The Spirit of interceding grace
give us in faith to claim;
to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou thy perfect love impart,
till thou thyself bestow,
be this the cry of every heart:
'I will not let thee go.'
5 I will not let thee go, unless
thou tell thy name to me;
with all thy great Salvation bless,
and make me all like thee.
6 Then let me on the mountain-top
behold thine open face;
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Topics: General Hymns Prayer and Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: ST ETHELDREDA

At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Author: Anonymous; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #164 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Exodus 12:13 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who hath washed us in the tide
flowing from his piercèd side;
praise we him, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast,
Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest.
2 Where the Paschal blood is poured,
death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty Victim from the sky,
hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie;
thou hast conquered in the fight,
thou hast brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appal,
now no more the grave enthral:
thou hast opened paradise,
and in thee thy saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
sin alone can this destroy;
from sin's power do thou set free
souls new-born, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory and of praise,
risen Lord, to thee we raise;
holy Father, praise to thee,
with the Spirit, ever be. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom
Author: Cardinal John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #422 (2010) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom,
lead thou me on;
the night is dark, and I am far from home;
lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
will lead me on,
o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
the night is gone,
and with the morn those angel faces smile,
which I have loved long since, and lost a while. Topics: General Hymns Christian Vocation and Witness Languages: Englsih Tune Title: SANDON
