From east to west, from shore to shore

Author: Caelius Sedulius, c. 450; John Ellerton, 1826-93 Hymnal: NEH1985 #20a (1986) Tune Title: A SOLIS ORTUS Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, Let every heart awake and sing The holy Child whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold, the world's creator wears The form and fashion of a slave, Our very flesh our Maker shares, His fallen creature, man, to save. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of his grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger-bed, And he whose bounty feedeth all, At Mary's breast himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor, the Lord most high, The one great Shepherd was revealed. 7 All glory for that blessèd morn To God the Father ever be, All praise to thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, blest Spirit, unto thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas; Office Hymn Languages: English

Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: NEH1985 #251 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ABENDS Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, It is not night if thou be near: O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wand'ring child of thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep to-night Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Jesu, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: NEH1985 #383b (1986) Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 *Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee, Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Topics: Lent Languages: English

Be thou my guardian and my guide

Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-65 Hymnal: NEH1985 #64 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ABRIDGE Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide, And hear me when I call; Let not my slippery footsteps slide, And hold me lest I fall. 2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell Around the path I tread; O, save me from the snares of hell, Thou quickener of the dead. 3 And if I tempted am to sin, And outward things are strong, Do thou, O Lord, keep watch within, And save my soul from wrong. 4 Still let me ever watch and pray, And feel that I am frail; That if the tempter cross my way, Yet he may not prevail.
