A Better Day Is Coming
Author: Charles A. Tindley, 1851-1933 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #604 (2018) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D with refrain Refrain First Line: 'Tis coming by and by Lyrics: 1 A better day is coming,
The morning draweth nigh,
When girded right with holy might
Shall overthrow the wrong.
When Christ our Lord shall listen
To ev'ry plaintive sigh,
And stretch His hand o'er every land
In justice by and by.
Refrain:
'Tis coming by and by,
'Tis coming by and by,
A better day is coming, the morning draweth nigh,
'Tis coming by and by,
'Tis coming by and by,
The welcome dawn is hastening on,
'Tis coming by and by.
2 The boast of haughty error
No more shall fill the land,
While men enraged, their pow'rs engaged,
To kill their fellow man,
But God the Lord shall triumph,
And Satan's host shall fly,
For wrong must cease and righteousness
Shall conquer by and by. [Refrain]
3 No more will angry nations
In deadly conflict meet,
While children cry and parents die
In conquest or defeat,
For Jesus Christ the Captain,
Will give the battle cry,
The Holy Ghost will lead the host
To vic'try by and by. [Refrain]
4 No more shall lords and rulers
Their helpless victims press,
And bar the door against the poor
And leave them in distress,
But God, the King of Glory,
Who hears the ravens cry,
Will give command that ev'ry man
Have plenty by and by.

A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #179 (2018) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.

My calling to fulfill;
Oh, may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with watchful care
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!

And still on Thee rely,
Oh, let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Offering/Stewardship of Our Lives; Ministry; Service; Stewardship Scripture: Ephesians 3:14 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederick H. Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #91 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right One on our side,
The One of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill,
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever. Topics: The Assembly at Worship Grace, Mercy, Assurance; Power of God; Providence of God; Jesus Christ Lord; Kingdom of God; Satan; Triumph; Spiritual Warfare Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

A Song Was Heard at Christmas
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #280 (2018) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A song was heard at Christmas
To wake the midnight sky:
A Savior's birth, and peace on earth,
And praise to God on high.
The angels sang at Christmas
With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King,
His glory and His love.
2 A star was seen at Christmas,
A herald and a sign,
That all might know the way to go
To find the child divine.
The wise men watched at Christmas
In some far eastern land,
And still the wise in starry skies
Discern their Maker's hand.
3 A tree was grown at Christmas,
A sapling green and young;
No tinsel bright with candlelight
Upon its branches hung.
But He who came at Christmas
Our sins and sorrow bore,
And still we name His tree of shame
Our life for evermore.
4 A child was born at Christmas
When Christmas first began;
The Lord of all a baby small,
The Son of God made man.
For love is ours at Christmas,
And life and light restored,
And so we praise through endless days
The Savior, Christ the Lord.

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, 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 ev'ry passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay 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, your 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;
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Faith, Trust, Love; Comfort; Grace of Jesus Christ; Presence of Jesus Christ; Petition; Supplication; Trust Scripture: Job 14:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: OLOF2018 #325 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sov'reign die!
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I!
2 Was it for crimes that I have done
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut its glories in,
When God, the great Redeemer, died
For human creatures' sin.
4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.
