Let Our Choir New Anthems Raise

Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, ca. 800-883; John Mason Neale; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let our choir new anthems raise, wake the morn with gladness; God himself to joy and praise turns the martyrs' sadness: bright the day that won their crown, opened heav'n's bright portal, as they laid the mortal down and put on th'immortal. 2 Never flinched they from the flame, from the torture never; vain the foeman's sharpest aim, Satan's best endeavor: for by faith they saw the land decked in all its glory, where triumphant now they stand with the victor's story. 3 Faith they had that knew not shame, love that could not languish; and eternal hope o'ercame momentary anguish. Up and follow, Christian men! Press through toil and sorrow; spurn the night of fear and then, O the glorious morrow!

Come, let us Sing of Jesus

Author: George Washington Bethune, 1805-1862 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing of Jesus, While hearts and accents blend; Come, let us sing of Jesus, The sinner’s only Friend; His holy soul rejoices Amid the choirs above, To hear our youthful voices Exulting in His love. 2 We love to sing of Jesus, Who wept our path along: We love to sing of Jesus, The tempted and the strong; None who besought His healing, He passed unheeded by: And still retains His feeling For us above the sky. 3 We love to sing of Jesus, Who died our souls to save; We love to sing of Jesus, Triumphant o’er the grave; And in our hour of danger, We’ll trust His love alone, Who once slept in a manger, And now sits on a throne. 4 Then let us sing of Jesus, While yet on earth we stay, And hope to sing of Jesus, Throughout eternal day. For those who here confess Him He will in heaven confess, And faithful hearts that bless Him, He will forever bless. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: LANCASHIRE

Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us; teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace. Be present, God, among us, and bring us to believe we are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some, to love them as we find them, or as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved in living situations to do the truth in love; To practice your acceptance, until we know by heart the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art. 4 God, for today's encounters with all who are in need, who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread, Bring us new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on: renew us with your Spirit; God! Free us, make us one! Topics: Christian unity; Discipleship; Repentance; Year B Easter 6; Year C Easter 7 Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: AURELIA

While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains; Ye oceans, clap your hands! 3 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethl'hem, The Savior and the Lord! All idols forms shall perish, All error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen.

Glory Be to God on High

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Glory be to God on high, And peace on earth descend; Now God comes down, He bows the sky, And shows Himself our friend! God the invisible appears, God the blest, the great I AM, He sojourns in this vale of tears, And Jesus is His name. 2. Him by the angels all adored, Their maker and their king; Lo, tidings of their humbled Lord They now to mortals bring; Emptied of His majesty, Of His dazzling glories shorn, Our being’s Source begins to be, And God Himself is born! 3. See the eternal Son of God A mortal Son of Man, Now dwelling in an earthly clod Whom Heaven cannot contain! Stand amazed, ye heavens, look at this! See the Lord of earth and skies Low humbled to the dust He is, And in a manger lies! 4. So do the sons of men rejoice The Prince of Peace proclaim, With Heaven’s host lift up our voice, And shout Immanuel’s name; Our knees and hearts to Him we bow; Of our flesh, and of our bone, See—Jesus is our brother now, And God is all our own!
