Cronenwett Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Precious Word from God in heaven, Full of blessedness to me, All my trust to Thee is given, And my springs all rise in Thee; I in Thee find all I need, That my soul to God can lead. 2 Gracious Spirit, Thou Who showest In the Word the Father's heart, And all needful help bestowest, Light and sense to me impart, That I may the riches see Which God's Word here offers me. 3 In its solemn contemplation From vain cares let me be free, And in prayerful adoration, Stay Thou all my thoughts on Thee, That the world may not annoy While I make Thy Word my joy. 4 What I read, help me to heed it; What Thou sayest, let me do; Strength to faith grant as I need it, And remind me still anew That the faith that counts above Is e'er active here in love. 5 Let Thy grace sustain, protect me, That my ways ne'er from Thee part; Thy enlight'ning Word direct me; Seal this treasure in my heart, That my faith may steadfast prove, Till I walk by sight above. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

All the Sacrifice is Ended

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All the sacrifice is ended, Breathed His body’s latest breath, And His human Soul hath wended Where the weary rest beneath; Christ as Man hath comprehended All the human law of death! 2. Yet not there His Soul remaineth Nor His body in the tomb: Lo! what sudden glory gaineth Quick dominion o’er the gloom! Yea, o’er death and hell He reigneth Bursting back the gates of doom! 3. Manifold the attestation Brethren tell the marvel o’er, And the soldiers from their station, And the angels at the door, And His own Word’s revelation, Lo! I live for evermore. 4. Hail, thou morn of resurrection, Primal holy Easter Day! Now the hours of deep dejection ’Neath the night-clouds’ dark array, Foes’ reviling, friends’ defection, In thy glory pass away! 5. Now He lives and reigns for ever! That we too may enter in Where eternal life shall never Taste of sorrow or of sin, Where from Him no death shall sever Those He vanquished death to win. 6. Savior! in our night of weeping Tell us of the joyful morn, Guard our souls, their vigil keeping In the hours of hate and scorn Raise us falling, wake us sleeping, Till our Easter Day be born.

Folk of every kind surround us And you call your church to see: All are made in your own image! All are people whom you love! In the times we’ve hurt each other, Lord, we’ve hurt the ones you bless. Hating sister, cursing brother, We’ve denied what you express: All are made in your own image! All are people whom you love! God, you sent a Savior to us, Breaking walls that would divide. By your Spirit, now work through us As we witness side by side: All are made in your own image! All are people whom you love!

Are you ready? Or is still your bosom cold? 2 Are you clothed in bridal raiment, Woven by anointed hands; Given thee without thy payment, Pledge of Love’s unwearied hands? Are you ready? Are you ready? See, the portal open stands. 3 Are you washed in holy water, You so long by sin defiled? Should He say, "My son," "My daughter," Can you say, "Behold Thy child?" Are you ready? Are you ready? Thus by Jesus to be styled? 4 Are you you ready for the meeting With the Savior in the air? Longing for that holy greeting With the ransomed myriads there? If not ready, if not ready, Oh! for that great day prepare! Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Lyra Anglicana by Robert H. Baynes (London: Houlston & Wright, 1862)
