O day of rest and gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #30 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright;
on thee, the high and lowly,
before the Eternal Throne,
sing holy, holy, holy,
to the great Three in One.
2 On thee, at the creation,
the light first had its birth;
on thee for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on thee our Lord victorious
the Spirit sent from heaven;
and thus on thee most glorious,
a triple light was given.
3 Thou art a cooling fountain
in life's dry dreary sand;
from thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
we view our promised land;
a day of sweet reflection
a day of holy love,
a day of resurrection
from earth to things above.
4 Today on weary nations
the heavenly Manna falls;
to holy convocations
the silver trumpet calls,
where Gospel-light is glowing
with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing
with soul-refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest;
to Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father, and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Languages: English Tune Title: DAY OF REST
O day of rest and gladness
On this day, the first of days
Author: Anonymous; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #31 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 On this day, the first of days,
God the Father’s name we praise;
who, creation’s Lord and Spring
did the world from darkness bring.
2 On this day the Eternal Son
over death his triumph won;
on this day the Spirit came
with his gifts of living flame.
3 O that fervent love today
may in every heart have sway,
teaching us to praise aright
God the source of life and light.
4 Father, who didst fashion me
image of thyself to be,
fill me with thy love divine,
let my every thought be thine.
5 Holy Jesus, may I be
dead and buried here with thee;
and, by love inflamed, arise
unto thee a sacrifice.
6 Thou who dost all gifts impart,
shine, sweet Spirit, in my heart;
best of gifts thyself bestow;
make me burn thy love to know.
7 God, the blessèd Three in One,
dwell within my heart alone;
thou dost give thyself to me;
may I give myself to thee. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday Scripture: Genesis 1:3-5 Languages: English Tune Title: LÜBECK
On this day, the first of days
This is the day of light
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #32 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light:
let there be light today;
O day-spring, rise upon our night
and chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest:
our failing strength renew;
on weary brain and troubled breast
shed thou thy freshening dew.
3 This is the day of peace:
thy peace our spirits fill;
bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
the waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer:
let earth to heaven draw near;
lift up our hearts to seek thee there,
come down to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days;
send forth thy quickening breath,
and wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday Scripture: Revelation 5:11-13 Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINICA

Again the Lord's own day is here
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c1380-1471; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #33 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord’s own day is here,
the day to Christian people dear,
as, week by week, it bids them tell
how Jesus rose from death and hell.
2 For by his flock their Lord declared
his Resurrection should be shared;
and we who trust in Him to save
with him are risen from the grave.
3 We, one and all, of him possessed,
are with exceeding treasures blessed;
for all he did, and all he bare,
he gives us as our own to share.
4 Eternal glory, rest on high,
a blessed immortality,
true peace and gladness, and a throne,
are all his gifts, and all our own.
5 And therefore unto thee we sing,
O Lord of peace, Eternal King;
thy love we praise, thy name adore,
both on this day and evermore. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPANT

born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us;
let us find our rest in thee.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
3 Born thy people to deliver;
born a Child and yet a King;
born to reign in us for ever;
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By thine own eternal Spirit,
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all-sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS

Blest be the King whose coming
Author: Frederico J. Pagura, 1923-; Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #35b (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
For him let doors be opened,
no hearts against him barred!
2 Not robed in royal splendour,
in power and pomp, comes he;
but clad as are the poorest—
such his humility!
3 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
By those who truly listen
his voice is truly heard.
4 Pity the proud and haughty,
who have not learned to heed
the Christ who is the Promise,
who has our ransom paid.
5 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He only to the humble
reveals the face of God.
6 All power is his, all glory!
All things are in his hand,
all ages and all peoples,
till time itself shall end!
7 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He offers to the burdened
the rest and grace they need.
8 Gentle is he and humble!
And light his yoke shall be,
for he would have us bear it
so he can make us free! Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST CLEMENT

Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
Author: Ambrose of Milan, 339-397; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #37 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Redeemer of the earth,
and manifest thy virgin-birth:
let every age adoring fall;
such birth befits the God of all.
2 Begotten of no human will,
but of the Spirit, thou art still
the Word of God, in flesh arrayed,
the Saviour, now to us displayed.
3 From God the Father he proceeds,
to God the Father back he speeds,
runs out his course to death and hell,
returns on God's high throne to dwell.
4 O equal to thy Father, thou!
Gird on thy fleshly mantle now,
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,
and darkness glow with new-born light,
no more shall night extinguish day,
where love's bright beams their power display.
6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
Comfort, comfort, O my people
Author: Johannes G. Olearius, 1611-1684; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #38 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort, O my people,
speak of peace, now says our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell of all the sins I cover,
and that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all to full repentance
since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain;
let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad;
and all flesh shall see the token
that his word is never broken. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA 42
Comfort, comfort, O my people
