Jesus, refuge of the weary

Author: Jane Francesca Wilde, 1826 - 96; Girolamo Savonarola, 1452 - 98 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Object of the spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Saviour from the world above; O how oft thine eyes, offended, Gaze upon the sinner's fall; Yet upon the Cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. A-men. 2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see thee wounded, bleeding, See thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for thee; May our eyes be ever turning To thy Cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessèd Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the Cross, the Crucified. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent; The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE MEINER LIEBE

Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood. Jesus, out of every nation, has redeemed us by his blood. 2 Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! he is near us; faith believes nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! heavenly High Priest, here on earth our help, our stay; Alleluia! hear the sinful cry to you from day to day. Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, hear our plea, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

Mighty God Who Called Creation

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mighty God who called creation From the unformed womb of space, Newborn worlds of gleaming glory, Fresh with hope and ripe with grace: Speak again with pow'r and promise When the storms of fear increase; To our chaos and confusion Let Your light and truth bring peace. 2 As we worship, may Your Spirit Breathe through us the pow'r of prayer, Words of life for daily living, Strength to do and faith to dare. Come, enflame us, Holy Spirit, Like the Church at Pentecost; Help us bear the light of blessing To the least, the last, the lost. 3 Rooted in the love of Jesus, Nourished by His flesh and blood, May we prove a fruitful vineyard Joined in mutual servanthood. Work through us, O risen Savior, To reap peace from fields of strife; Bring our barren wastes to blossom; Lead us out of death to life. 4 Keep us faithful, joyful, loving, Filled with hope through grief and pain, Knowing that the One who made us Has redeemed and will sustain: Triune God, of boundless glory, Yet in human form made known, Raise us up to be a people Called by love to be Your own.

Light of Ages and of Nations

Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of ages and of nations, every race and every time has received thine inspirations, glimpses of thy truth sublime. Always spirits in rapt vision passed the heavenly veil within, always hearts bowed in contrition found salvation from their sin. 2 Reason’s noble aspiration truth in growing clearness saw; conscience spoke its condemnation, or proclaimed eternal law. While thine inward revelations told thy saints their prayers were heard, prophets to the guilty nations spoke thine everlasting word. 3 Lo, that word abideth ever; revelation is not sealed; answering now to our endeavor, truth and right are still revealed. That which came to ancient sages, Greek, Barbarian, Roman, Jew, written in the soul’s deep pages, shines today, forever new.
