All-creating heavenly Giver

Author: Michael Saward (b. 1932) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All-creating heavenly Giver, bringing light and life to birth; all-sustaining heavenly Father of the families of earth: we, your children, lift our voices singing gladly of your love: never-ending are the praises rising to your throne above. 2 Ever-living Lord and Saviour, breaking chains of sin and shame; ever-loving Intercessor, prayers are answered in your name: we, your servants, liberated at a fearsome ransom-price, in your kingdom are united by that mighty sacrifice. 3 Life-conceiving wind of heaven, breathing gifts upon us all; life-enhancing Spirit, given to enrich us, great and small: we, whose talents widely differ, now restore to you your own, and in true thanksgiving offer all we are before the throne. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessing all within your hand: full the cup that we inherit, firm the ground on which we stand: we, your people, undeserving of the grace you freely give, now and ever, in thanksgiving to your praise and glory live.

With us, when we toil in sadness, Sowing much and reaping none; Telling us that in the future Golden harvests shall be won. 2. With us, when the storm is sweeping O'er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling ev'ry anxious fear: With us, in the lonely valley, When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory, With salvation's radiant beam.

Precious banquet, bread of heaven, Wine of gladness, flowing free; May we taste it, kindly given, In remembrance, Lord, of Thee. 2 In Thy holy incarnation, When the angels sang Thy birth; In Thy fasting and temptation, In Thy labors on the earth, In Thy trial and rejection, In Thy sufferings on the tree, In Thy glorious resurrection, May we, Lord, remember Thee. AMEN. Topics: The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: AUTUMN

Christ Is Coming

Author: Jennie S. Mast Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Christ is coming, quickly coming Lyrics: 1. Christ is coming, quickly coming, In a cloud of flaming fire; Some will rise in glorious brightness, Others sink beneath His ire. Oh, the glorious day of triumph, For the soul that’s robed in white! Saints will rise with shouts of victory, Sinners sink to endless night. 2. Yes, we know that Christ is coming, Soon we’ll hear the trumpet sound; We can meet Him, hallelujah! If in righteousness we’re found. But, this sinful world of darkness, In their sins, will sink to hell! Oh, the awful cries of anguish! Human tongues can never tell. 3. He is coming, quickly coming, Every eye shall see Him then; Oh, how sweet will be the meeting, Where we’ll never part again. Some will cry for rocks and mountains, For to hide them from His face, Those who now reject His mercy, And will not accept His grace. 4. Christ is coming, quickly coming, Hear the warning, ye that sleep, Oh, prepare your soul to meet Him, Or in anguish you will weep. If He comes and you’re not ready, You’ll be banished from His face, If you now reject His mercy, You’ll be lost without His grace. 5. Christ is coming, hallelujah! Shout His praises, all ye saints, For we know His smiles will greet us, As we enter thro’ the gates. We are ready, clad in whiteness, All our sins are washed away; With our blessèd, loving Savior, We’ll abide in endless day. Used With Tune: SANTO DOMINGO Text Sources: Echoes from Glory by Barney E.

Lord of every land and nation!

Author: Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation, Be thy just, exalted praise. For the grandeur of thy nature, Grand beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought. 2 For thy rich, thy free redemption, Bright, though veiled in darkness long, Thought is poor, and poor expression: Who can sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father's glory! Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence, Sing the Lord who came to die. 3 From the highest throne of glory, To the cross of deepest woe, Came to ransom guilty captives; Flow, my praise, forever flow: Reascend, immortal Saviour! Leave thy footstool, take thy throne: Thence return and reign forever; Be the kingdom all thy own. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Praise to the Saviour

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shepherds, hail the wondrous stranger! Now to Bethle'm speed your way; Lo! in yonder humble manger, Christ, the Lord, is born to-day. 2 Christ, by prophets long predicted, Joy of Israel's chosen race; Light to Gentiles long afflicted, Lost in error's darkest maze. 3 Bright the star of your salvation, Pointing to his rude abode! Rapturous news for every nation: Mortals! now behold your god! 4 Glad we trace the amazing story; Angels leave their bliss to tell; Theme sublime, replete with glory: Sinners saved from death and hell. 5 Love eternal moved the Saviour Thus to lay his radiance by; Blessings on the Lamb forever; Glory be to God on high!
