Lord's Prayer
Appears in 731 hymnals First Line: Our Father, who art in heaven Lyrics: Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

On Jordan's Bank
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1806-1876 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals First Line: On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within,
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge, and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth and let your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
Whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Away in a Manger
Author: Anonymous; John T. McFarland, 1851-1913 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 547 hymnals First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing; the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: MUELLER

The First Nowell
Meter: Irregular Appears in 401 hymnals First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
Full rev'rently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord;
Who with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore. [Refrain] Topics: Epiphany of the Lord Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: English Carol, 17th C.

Lord, Who throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman, 1838-1898 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome our sins,
And close by you to stay.
2 As you with Satan did contend
And did the vict'ry win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
In you to conquer sin.
3 As you did hunger and did thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and only live
By your most holy word.
4 And through these days of penitence,
And through your Passiontide,
For evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
5 Abide with us that, when this life
Of suffering is past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last! Topics: Lent Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

O'er death today rose triumphing.

The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!

Who sat and spake unto the three,
"Your Lord has gone to Galilee."
Alleluia!
4 That night the apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear,
And said, "My peace be on all here."
Alleluia!

How they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples' word.
Alleluia!

Behold my hands, my feet," said he;
"Not faithless but believing be."
Alleluia!
7 No longer Thomas then denied;
He saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"You are my Lord and God," he cried.
Alleluia!
8 How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win.
Alleluia!

To God your hearts and voices raise,
In laud and jubilee and praise.
Alleluia! Topics: Easter Used With Tune: O FILII ET FILIAE

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his pierced 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 on high,
Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you your saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free,
Newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days:
Three in One, your name we praise. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin, 4th C.
