Blest Be the God of Israel (Benedictus-Song of Zechariah)

Author: Michael A. Perry, b. 1942 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Blest be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blest be the God of Israel, Who comes to set us free; He visits and redeems us; He grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, Of freedom and release; God shall fulfill his promise And bring his people peace. 2 He from the house of David A child of grace has giv'n; A Savior comes among us To raise us up to heav'n. Before him goes his herald, Forerunner in the way, The prophet of salvation, The harbinger of day. 3 On prisoners of darkness The sun begins to rise, The dawning of forgiveness Upon the sinner's eyes. He guides the feet of pilgrims Along the paths of peace. Oh, bless our God and Savior With songs that never cease! Topics: Hymns of the Liturgy; Hymns of the Liturgy Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Jesus, My Mater, And My Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus, my Master, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Master, and my Lord, I would thy will obey, Humbly receive Thy warning word, And always watch and pray. My constant need of watchful prayer I daily see, and feel, To keep me safe from every snare Of sin, and earth, and hell. 2 Into a world of ruffians sent, I walk on hostile ground, Wild human beasts, on slaughter bent, And ravening wolves surround. The lion seeks my soul to slay, In some unguarded hour, And waits to tear his sleeping prey, And watches to devour. 3 But worse than all my foes, I find The enemy within, The evil heart, the carnal mind, My own insidious sin: My nature every moment waits To render me secure, And all my paths with ease besets, To make my ruin sure. 4 But Thou hast given a loud alarm, And thou shalt still prepare My soul for all assaults, and arm With never ceasing prayer. Thou wilt not suffer me to sleep, Who on Thy love depend, But still Thy faithful servant keep, And save me to the end.

At Jesus' Feet Our Infant Sweet

Author: M. Loy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all its stain, That renders it for heav'n unmeet Until 'tis born again: We here embrace His proffered grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- The bath its soul will save. 2. We fail to see the Holy Three Concealed the fount within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleanses us from sin; But who may tell what virtues dwell Thro' God's Word in that flood, Or who the simple faith repel That owns it Jesus' blood? 3. We bring our child by sin defiled, Then, dearest Lord, to Thee; Here clothe it in Thy nature mild, From sin here make it free; And buried here in death severe, To new life may it rise, And trained for Thee, with Thee appear Immortal in the skies. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Sarraments-Holy Baptism Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Branch Of Jesse's Stem, Arise

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Branch of Jesse’s stem, arise Lyrics: 1 Branch of Jesse’s stem, arise, And in our nature grow; Turn our earth to paradise, By flourishing below: Bless us with the spirit of grace Immeasurably shed on Thee; Pour on all the faithful race The streaming Deity! 2 Let the Spirit of our Head On all the members rest; From Thyself to us proceed, And dwell in every breast; Teach to judge and act aright, Inspire with wisdom from above, Holy faith and heavenly might, And reverential love. 3 Lord, of Thee we fain would learn Thy heavenly Father’s will; Give us quickness to discern, And boldness to fulfill: All His mind to us explain, And His name on us impress, Then our souls thro’ Thee attain The spotless righteousness.
