He came from the glory, he came from the glorious kingdom. 2. The angels sang when the baby was born, The angels sang when the baby was born, The angels sang when the baby was born, and proclaimed him the Saviour Jesus. 3. The wise men saw where the baby was born, The wise men saw where the baby was born, The wise men saw where the baby was born, and they saw that his name was Jesus. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Moses, look snappy, have I got a job for you! I've looked around and I'm not very happy. Here is what you have to do: Lead my people to freedom! (x3) Got to go to the Promised Land! 2. The people of God were suff'ring and dying, sick and tired of slavery. All God could hear was the sound of their crying; Moses had to set them free: 3. We know that the world is still full of sorrow, people need to be set free. We've got to give them a better tomorrow, so God says to you and me: _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
upon the rock, (x3) and the rain came tumbling down. And the rain came down and the floods came up, the rain came down and the floods came up, the rain came down and the floods came up and the house on the rock stood firm. 2. The foolish man built his house upon the sand, (x3) and the rain came tumbling down. And the rain came down and the floods came up, the rain came down and the floods came up, the rain came down and the floods came up, and the house on the sand fell flat.

`Wash those weary toes! Do it in a cheerful fashion, never hold your nose!' 2. People on a dusty journey need a place to rest; Jesus says, 'You say you love me, this will be the test!' 3. We're his friends, we recognise him in the folk we meet; smart or scruffy, we'll still love him, wash his smelly feet! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
nothing left that they could give – spirits bruised and battered, seemed like nothing mattered, such the grief they wrestled with.
pain like this could never ease – dreams seemed lost forever, wiped out altogether; hope was scattered on the breeze.
life was all at once turned round – triumph from disaster, tears replacing laughter; feet still haven't touched the ground!
praising God for ev'rything – joy just keeps on growing, each day overflowing; Christ is risen, Lord and King!
look to Christ in your despair – though your heart feels broken, life can be awoken; keep believing, if you dare. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 659 Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) alt. 1. Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old was strong to heal and save; it triumphed o'er disease and death, o'er darkness and the grave: to thee they went, the blind, the dumb, the palsied and the lame, the outcasts with their grievances, the sick with fevered frame. 2. And lo, thy touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; and youth renewed and frenzy calmed owned thee, the Lord of light: and now, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty as before, in crowded street, by restless couch, as by that ancient shore. 3. Be thou our great deliv'rer still, thou Lord of life and death; restore and quicken, soothe and bless, with thine almighty breath: to hands that work, and eyes that see, give wisdom's heav'nly lore, that whole and sick, and weak and strong, may praise thee evermore. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
risen, conqu'ring Son, endless is the vict'ry thou o'er death hast won; angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes where thy body lay. Thine be the glory, risen, conqu'ring Son, endless is the vict'ry thou o'er death has won. 2. Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom. Let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, for her Lord now liveth; death hash lost its sting. 3. No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of Life! Life is naught without thee: aid us in our strife. Make us more than conqu'rors through thy deathless love. Bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
hear us from thy throne above; thine for ever may we be here and in eternity. 2. Thine for ever! Lord of life, shield us through our earthly strife; thou the life, the truth, the way, guide us to the realms of day. 3. Thine for ever! O how blest they who find in thee their rest! Saviour, guardian, heav'nly friend, O defend us to the end. 4. Thine for ever! Shepherd, keep us thy frail and trembling sheep; safe within thy tender care, let us all thy goodness share. 5. Thine for ever! thou our guide, all our wants by thee supplied, all our sins by thee forgiv'n, lead us, Lord, from earth to heav'n. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
think of a world without any trees, think of a sky without any sunshine, think of the air without any breeze. We thank you, Lord, for flow'rs and trees and sunshine, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. 2. Think of a world without any animals, think of a field without any herd, think of a stream without any fishes, think of a dawn without any bird. We thank you, Lord, for all your living creatures, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. 3. Think of a world without any people, think of a street with no one living there, think of a town without any houses, no one to love and nobody to care. We thank you, Lord, for families and friendships, we thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
bringing you wholeness, making you free. Take it and eat it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 2. This is my blood, poured out for you, bringing forgiveness, making you free. Take it and drink it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 3. Back to my Father soon I shall go. Do not forget me; then you will see I am still with you, and you will know you're very dose to me. 4. Filled with my Spirit, how you will grow! You are my branches; I am the tree. If you are faithful, others will know you are alive in me. 5. Love one another; I have loved you, and I have shown you how to be free; serve one another, and when you do, do it in love for me. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that love should dwell among you all. This is my will that you should love as I have shown that I love you. 2. No greater love can be than this: to choose to die to save one's friends. You are my friends if you obey all I command that you should do. 3. I call you now no longer slaves; no slave knows all his master does. I call you friends, for all I hear my Father say, you hear from me. 4. You chose not me, but I chose you, that you should go and bear much fruit. I called you out that you in me should bear much fruit that will abide. 5. All that you ask my Father dear for my name's sake you shall receive. This is my will, my one command, that love should dwell in each, in all. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made; we will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it. This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.
when he rose again, when he rose again; we will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it. This is the day when he rose again; we will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, this is the day when he rose again.
when the Spirit came, when the Spirit came; we will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it. This is the day when the Spirit came; we will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day, this is the day when the Spirit came. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 666 Isaac Watts (1674-1748) alt. 1. This is the day the Lord has made, he calls the hours his own: let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround his throne. 2. Today he rose and left the dead, and Satan's empire fell; today the saints his triumphs spread, and all his wonders tell. 3. Hosanna to th'anointed King, to David's holy Son! Make haste to help us, Lord, and bring salvation from thy throne. 4. Blest be the Lord: let us proclaim his messages of grace; who comes, in God his Father's name, to save our sinful race. 5. Hosanna in the highest strains the Church on earth can raise; the highest heav'ns in which he reigns shall give him nobler praise. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
away with sin and sorrow. My love, the Crucified, hath sprung to life this morrow. Had Christ, that once was slain, ne'er burst his three-day prison, our faith had been in vain: but now hath Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen. 2. My flesh in hope shall rest, and for a season slumber; till trump from east to west shall wake the dead in number. 3. Death's flood hath lost its chill, since Jesus crossed the river: lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
lights the darkness from above, it shines on me and it shines on you, and shows what the power of love can do I'm gonna shine my light both far and near, I'm gonna shine my light both bright and clear. Where there's a dark corner in this land, I'm gonna let my little light shine. 2. On Monday he gave me the gift of love, Tuesday peace came from above. On Wednesday he told me to have more faith, on Thursday he gave me a little more grace. On Friday he told me to watch and pray, on Saturday he told me just what to say, on Sunday he gave me the pow'r divine to let my little light shine. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
the evening of your peace; the thunder booms your exuberance in the awesome pow'r you release. 2. The tenderness of a new-born child; simplicity in a single cell; and complexity in a brain. 3. Your stillness rests in a silent pool; infinity drifts in space; your grandeur straddles the mountain tops; and we see your face in each face. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
from sin and death we flee; and all who would the Father seek must seek him, Lord, by thee. 2. Thou art the Truth: thy word alone true wisdom can impart; thou only cant inform the mind and purify the heart. 3. Thou art the Life: the rending tomb proclaims thy conqu'ring arm; and those who put their trust in thee nor death nor hell shall harm. 4. Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life: grant us that Way to know, that Truth to keep, that Life to win, whose joys eternal flow. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
and thy kingly crown when thou tamest to earth for me, but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room for thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 2. Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang and proclaimed thee of royal degree, but in lowliest birth didst thou come to earth and in deepest humility. 3. Though the fox found rest, and the bird its nest in the shade of the cedar tree, yet the world found no bed for the Saviour's head in the desert of Galilee. 4. Though thou cam'st, Lord, with the living word that should set all thy people free, yet with treachery, and a crown of thorn did they bear thee to Calvary. 5. When the heav'ns shall ring and the angels sing at thy coming to victory, let thy voice call me home, saying `Heav'n has room, there is room at my side for thee.' _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
we ask, as through the world we go, to plant a flow’r, to pluck a weed, to serve unsought a neighbour's need: and to our children leave behind a better world for humankind. 2. A friendlier world be theirs, we pray, through lessons learned by us today; where all shall cherish, all shall share, the earth which God created fair: where fear, disease and famine cease, and peoples learn to live in peace. 3. Prince of peace, whose reign on earth brings freedom, light and hope to birth, may we and all who name your Name the love of God in Christ proclaim: in Christ, by whom are sins forgiv'n, the Life, the Truth, the Way to heav'n. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
chaos and darkness heard, and took their flight; hear us, we humbly pray, and where the gospel day sheds not its glorious ray, let there be light.
on thy redeeming wing, healing and sight, health to the sick in mind, sight to the inly blind, O now to humankind let there be light.
life-giving, holy Dove, speed forth thy flight; move on the water's face, bearing the lamp of grace, and in earth's darkest place let there be light.
glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might; boundless as ocean's tide rolling in fullest pride, through the earth far and wide let there be light. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 674 Gilbert Ronson (1821-1869) 1 Three in One, and One in Three, ruler of the earth and sea, hear us while we lift to thee holy chant and psalm. 2. Light of lights! with morning-shine lift on us thy light divine; and let charity benign breathe on us her balm. 3. Light of lights! when falls the ev'n, let it close on sin forgiv'n, fold us in the peace of heav'n; shed a holy calm. 4. Three in One, and One in Three, dimly here we worship thee; with the saints hereafter we hope to bear the palm. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
in trouble and in joy, the praises of my God shall still my heart and tongue employ. 2. O magnify the Lord with me, with me exalt his name; when in distress to him I called, he to my rescue came. 3. The hosts of God encamp around the dwellings of the just; deliv'rance he affords to all who on his succour trust. 4. O make but trial of his love: experience will decide how blest are they, and only they, who in his truth confide. 5. Fear him, ye saints, and you will then have nothing else to fear; make you his service your delight, your wants shall be his care. 6. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory as it was, is now, and shall be evermore. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
onward goes the pilgrim band, singing songs of expectation, marching to the promised land. 2. Clear before us, through the darkness, gleams and burns the guiding light; so we march in hope united, stepping fearless through the night. 3. One the light of God's own presence o'er his ransomed people shed, chasing far the gloom and terror, bright'ning all the path we tread. 4. One the object of our journey, one the faith which never tires, one the earnest looking forward, one the hope our God inspires. 5. One the strain that lips of thousands lift as from the heart of one: one the conflict, one the peril, one the march in God begun. 6. One the gladness of rejoicing on the far eternal shore, where the one almighty Father reigns in love for evermore. 7. Onward, therefore, fellow pilgrims, onward with the Cross our aid; bear its shame and fight its battle, till we rest beneath its shade. 8. Soon shall come the great awaking, soon the rending of the tomb; then the scatt'ring of all shadows, and the end of toil and gloom. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
_________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 678 Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) alt. 1. Thy hand, O God, has guided thy flock, from age to age; the wondrous tale is written, full clear, on ev'ry page; our forebears owned thy goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2. Thy heralds brought glad tidings to greatest, as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the great King's feast; and this was all their teaching, in ev'ry deed and word, to all alike proclaiming: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3. Through many a day of darkness, through many a scene of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, hope restored, was all in this enfolded: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4. And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
