O God of love, whose mercy came

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: O God of love, whose mercy came To this dark world of sin and shame, And on a cross of suffering sore, That sin and shame in meekness bore. Supreme the love the Christ displayed, When He, True God, True Man was made; When He was scorned, His patience then Shone forth Divine, with sinful men. Did e'er such mercy lead the great To stoop from high to low estate? Did e'er such love incline the heart To take the erring sinner's part? 79 'Twas God who loved, 'twas God who gave His Son our erring souls to save; 'Tis Christ that wins us by the love From earth below to heaven above. Win me, O Lord, whose mercy came To this dark world of sin and shame, To that bright world whose beauties shine For ever in Thy love Divine. To Thee, O Father, glory be; And glory, Christ, God-Man, to Thee; And to the Spirit, Three in One, Now, and while countless ages run.

"Lo, I am with you to the end," Thus speaks the promise of our Lord; O Spirit of the Christ, descend, Fulfil to us the gracious word.

Come, with the load of sorrow thou art bearing

Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Come, with the load of sorrow thou art bearing, Lay it on Him who every burden bears; Let not thy soul in trouble sink despairing, He who hath sorrowed, every sorrow shares. Look for the morn when night is dark and weary, Morning shall come when hours of night are spent; Clouds hide the sun, and make the noontide dreary, Gladness shall cheer you when the clouds are rent. 136 Look for His smile who gilds the hills at morning; Surely it comes as comes the morning sun; Beauty shall grace thy life with bright adorning, Even as the sunlight, till thy day is done. Then, when the morn, that makes the hilltops golden Round the Jerusalem thy spirit gains, Breaks on thy view, shall come the gladness olden, Shared by the dwellers in those blest domains.

Darkly the tempest swept

Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Darkly the tempest swept Over the sea; Fiercely the billows leapt, Bounding and free; Sternly each rower bent, While in the firmament Clouds were by lightnings rent, O'er Galilee. Pillowed, the Master lay, Rocked by the deep; Worn with the toil of day, Weary, asleep; "Master," they fearful cry, "Wake to the danger nigh; Winds from the threatening sky, Billows that leap." 142 Calmly the Master rose-- Winds are assuaged; Sank into calm repose Waters that raged, "Peace!" O Thou Lord of might, Speak in our dread affright, When through our troubled night, Battles are waged.

Bountiful Giver, Thine be the praise, Blessing, and honour, and glory, always. Spring time and harvest, and cloud and summer gladness, Come to our earth because His promise lives; Morn smiles with beauty, and evening soothes our sadness-- Such are the treasures that His bounty gives. 155 Spring time is now, and summer with its beauty; Brightness and sadness here alternate come; Lord, may the flowers, and fruits of love and duty, Blossom and ripen for Thy harvest home. Then when the angels the reapers at the ending, Gather the fruitage which our lives have grown, May we with gladness, angel toil attending, Sing of the harvest at the heavenly home.

Come, let us sing with joyful mirth

Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Come, let us sing with joyful mirth The mystery of Immanuel's birth, Who, virgin born, is here; The middle wall no longer stands, No flaming sword in cherub's hands Inspires the soul with fear. See, clear the pathway open lies That upward leads to Paradise, Where stands the Tree of Life; And freely may I enter in, Whence I was driven by mortal sin, And worsted in the strife. 59 For He, the Father's only Son, A glorious work hath now begun, Descending from above In servant's form, though yet the Son, Unchanging while the ages run, To win us by His love. Come, now, let hearts united be To laud His praises joyfully, The God-Man born to-day. And let Thy mercy reach us now, For pitiful and kind art Thou, O Virgin born, we pray.

All ye nations, shout and sing; For He comes, your glorious King. Once His heavenly image bearing, Man has sunk to depths of sin; Now defiled, debased, despairing, Clad in rags and foul within; But our God, who beauty gave, Lifts the soul He comes to save. 75 From the height of heaven beholding, Pity filled the heart of grace; And our Lord, His love unfolding, Made the earth His dwelling-place; And a virgin mother gave God Incarnate, man to save. Wisdom, Might, and Word Eternal, Glory of the Father, Thou! Hid from man and powers supernal, Lo, He wears our nature now! To the Lord your worship bring, Praise Him, your victorious King.

Christ the Word! Thine incarnation

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Christ the Word! Thine incarnation Links my nature to Thine own; By Thy sore humiliation, I am lifted to Thy throne; By Thy suffering Thou hast fired me With a zeal to sacrifice, And to noble life inspired me: Hence my grateful songs arise. Word of God! Thy crucifixion Hath upraised me from the earth; By Thy death and dereliction, Thou hast given me nobler birth; 81 By Thy resurrection glorious, Life immortal now I own: Hence ascend my songs victorious To Thy praise, O Christ the Son. By Thy hand at the creation, Thou didst form me from the ground, And, to mark my kingly station, With Thine image I was crowned; And that hand, when pierced and bleeding, Raised me from corruption's mire; And, though all this love unheeding, Decked me with Divine attire. Thou who gav'st my soul its being, Breathing in me life Divine, Didst, by Thine all-wise decreeing, Unto death Thy life resign; And from death my soul defending, Thou didst sojourn with the dead, That Thou might'st, my fetters rending, Raise me up, Thou glorious Head! 82 Shame be on your heads abiding, Disobedient people now, Who to death, and vile deriding, Caused the Word of God to bow! Shame! for death, nor powers infernal, Nor the dark of hades' gloom, Could retain the King Eternal In the bondage of the tomb.

Thy Passion, Lord, hath freed Our souls from passion's reign; Nor may we know corruption base, Since Thou hast risen again; Glory to Thee, O Christ the Lord, Son of our God, Incarnate Word!
