1. Hail, gladdening Light,

of his pure glory poured

from th'immortal Father, h

eav'nly, blest,

holiest of holies,

Jesus Christ our Lord.


2. Now we are come

to the sun's hour of rest,

the lights of evening

round us shine,

we hymn the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit divine.


3. Worthiest art thou at all times

to be sung with undefilèd tongue,

Son of our God,

Giver of live, alone:

Therefore in all thy world thy glories,

Lord, they own.

1. Hail the day that sees him rise, alleluia'

to his throne above the skies; alleluia!

Christ the Lamb, for sinners giv’n, alleluia!

enters now the highest heav'n! alleluia!


2. There for him high triumph waits;

lift your heads, eternal gates!

He hath conquered death and sin;

take the King of Glory in!


*3. Circled round with angel-pow'rs,

their triumphant Lord and ours;

wide unfold the radiant scene,

take the King of Glory in!


*4. Lo, the heav'n its Lord receives,

yet he loves the earth he leaves;

though returning to his throne,

calls the human race his own.


*5. See, he lifts his hands above;

see, he shows the prints of love;

hark, his gracious lips bestow

blessings on his Church below.


*6. Still for us he intercedes,

his prevailing death he pleads;

near himself prepares our place,

he the first-fruits of our race.


7. Lord, though parted from our sight,

far above the starry height,

grant our hearts may thither rise,

seeking thee above the skies.


8. Ever upward let us move,

wafted on the wings of love;

looking when our Lord shall come,

longing, sighing after home.

1. Hail, thou once despised Jesus,

hail, thou Galilean King!

Thou didst suffer to release us;

thou didst free salvation bring.

Hail, thou universal Saviour, b

earer of our sin and shame;

by thy merits we find favour;

life is given through thy name.


2. Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,

all our sins on thee were laid;

by almighty love anointed,

thou hast full atonement made.

All thy people are forgiven

through the virtue of thy blood;

opened is the gate of heaven,

we are reconciled to God.


3. Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,

there for ever to abide;

all the heav'nly hosts adore thee,

seated at thy Father's side:

there for sinners thou art pleading,

there thou doss our place prepare;

ever for us interceding,

till in glory we appear.


4. Worship, honour, pow'r and blessing,

thou art worthy to receive;

loudest praises, without ceasing,

it is right for us to give:

help, ye bright angelic spirits!

bring your sweetest, noblest lays;

help to sing our Saviour's merits,

help to chant Immanuel's praise.

244 Paraphrase of Psalm 72 by James Montgomery (1771-1854)
1. Hail to the Lord's anointed,

great David's greater son!

Hail, in the time appointed,

his reign on earth begun!

He comes to break oppression,

to set the captive free;

to take away transgression,

and rule in equity.


2. He comes with succour speedy

to those who suffer wrong;

to help the poor and needy,

and bid the weak be strong;

to give them songs for sighing,

their darkness turn to light,

whose souls, condemned and dying,

were precious in his sight.


3. He shall come down like showers

upon the fruitful earth,

and love, joy, hope, like flowers,

spring in his path to birth:

before him on the mountains

shall peace the herald go;

and righteousness in fountains

from hill to valley flow.


4. Kings shall fall down before him,

and gold and incense bring;

all nations shall adore him,

his praise all people sing;

to him shall prayer unceasing

and daily vows ascend;

his kingdom still increasing,

a kingdom without end.


5. O'er ev'ry foe victorious,

he on his throne shall rest,

from age to age more glorious,

all-blessing and all-blest;

the tide of time shall never

his covenant remove;

his name shall stand for ever;

that name to us is love.

1. Happy are they, they that love God,

whose hearts have Christ confessed,

who by his cross have found their life,

and 'neath his yoke their rest.


2. Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,

when they together sing;

and strong the prayers that bow the ear

of heav'n's eternal King.


3. Christ to their homes giveth his peace,

and makes their loves his own:

but ah, what tares the evil one

hash in his garden sown!


4. Sad were our lot, evil this earth,

did not its sorrows prove

the path whereby the sheep may find

the fold of Jesus' love.


5. Then shall they know, they that love him,

how hope is wrought through pain;

their fellowship, through death itself,

unbroken will remain.

247 Vox clara ecce intonat 6th century, trans. Edward Caswall (1814-1878)

1. Hark! a herald voice is calling:

`Christ is nigh!' it seems to say;

`Cast away the dreams of darkness,

O ye children of the day!'
2. Startled at the solemn warning,

let the earth-bound soul arise;

Christ, her sun, all sloth dispelling,

shines upon the morning skies.


3. Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,

comes with pardon down from heav'n;

let us haste, with tears of sorrow,

one and all to be forgiv'n.


4. So when next he comes with glory,

wrapping all the earth in fear,

may he then, as our defender,

on the clouds of heav'n appear.


5. Honour, glory, virtue, merit,

to the Father and the Son,

with the co-eternal Spirit,

while unending ages run.

248 William Cowper (1731-1800) based on John 21:16
1. Hark, my soul, it is the Lord;

'tis thy Saviour, hear his word;

Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,

`Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?


2. 'I delivered thee when bound,

and, when wounded, healed thy wound

sought thee wand'ring, set thee right,

turned thy darkness into light.


3. 'Can a woman's tender care

cease towards the child she bare?

Yes, she may forgetful be,

yet will I remember thee.


4. 'Mine is an unchanging love,

higher than the heights above,

deeper than the depths beneath,

free and faithful, strong as death.


5. 'Thou shalt see my glory soon,

when the work of grace is done;

partner of my throne shalt be:

say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'


6. Lord, it is my chief complaint

that my love is weak and faint;

yet I love thee, and adore;

O for grace to love thee more!

249 Philip Doddridge (1702-1751)based on Luke 4:18-19
1. Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,

the Saviour promised long:

let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,

and ev'ry voice a song.


2. He comes, the pris'ners to release

in Satan's bondage held;

the gates of brass before him burst,

the iron fetters yield.


3. He comes, the broken heart to bind,

the bleeding soul to cure,

and with the treasures of his grace

to bless the humble poor.


4. Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,

thy welcome shall proclaim;

and heav'n's eternal arches ring

with thy beloved name.

glory to the new-born King;

peace on earth and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled:

joyful, all ye nations rise,

join the triumph of the skies,

with th'angelic host proclaim,

`Christ is born in Bethlehem.'


Hark, the herald-angels sing

glory to the new-born King.
2. Christ, by highest heav'n adored,

Christ, the everlasting Lord,

late in time behold him come,

offspring of a virgin's womb!

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,

hail, th'incarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with us to dwell,

Jesus, our Emmanuel.


3. Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings,

ris’n with healing in his wings;

mild he lays his glory by,

born that we no more may die,

born to raise us from the earth,

born to give us second birth.

O Lord, for we have sinned. (Repeat)
1. O God, in your kindness,

have mercy on me,

and in your compassion

blot out my offence.

O wash me, O wash me

from all of my guilt,

until you have cleansed me from sin.
2. For all my offences

I know very well,

I cannot escape from

the sight of my sin.

Against you, O Lord,

only you, have I sinned,

and done what is wrong in your eyes.
3. A pure heart create

in your servant, O Lord;

a steadfast and trustworthy

spirit in me.

O cast me not out

from your presence, I pray,

and take not your spirit from me.
4. Restore to me, Lord,

all the joy of your help;

sustain me with fervour,

sustain me with zeal.

Then open my lips,

and my mouth shall declare

the praise of my Lord and my God.

1. Have you heard the raindrops

drumming on the rooftops?

Have you heard the raindrops

dripping on the ground?

Have you heard the raindrops

splashing in the streams

and running to the rivers all around?
There's water, water of life,

Jesus gives us the water of life;

there's water, water of life,

Jesus gives us the water of life.
2. There's a busy worker

digging in the desert,

digging with a spade that

flashes in the sun;

soon there will be water

rising in the well-shaft,

spilling from the bucket as it comes.
3. Nobody can live

who hasn't any water,

when the land is dry,

then nothing much grows;

Jesus gives us life if we drink

the living water,

sing it so that everybody knows.

1. Heaven is open wide,

and Christ in glory stands,

with all authority endowed

and set at God's right hand.

Above the world of noise

extends his reign of peace,

and all the blood of martyrs calls

our angry ways to cease.


2. Heaven is open wide,

and perfect love we see

in God's eternal self revealed:

the blessed Trinity.

Christ for the Church has prayed,

that we may all be one,

and share the triune grace whereby

creation was begun.


3. Heaven is open wide,

and Christ in glory stands:

the Source and End, the First and Last,

with justice in his hands.

Let all the thirsty come

where life is flowing free,

and Christ, in splendour yet unknown,

our morning star will be.

1. Heav'n shall not wait

for the poor to lose their patience,

the scorned to smile,

the despised to find a friend:

Jesus is Lord,

he has championed the unwanted;

in him injustice

confronts its timely end.


2. Heav'n shall not wait

for the rich to share their fortunes,

the proud to fall,

the élite to tend the least:

Jesus is Lord;

he has shown the masters' priv'lege -

to kneel and wash

servant' feet before they feast.


3. Heav'n shall not wait

for the dawn of great ideas,

thoughts of compassion

divorced from cries of pain:

Jesus is Lord;

he has married word and action;

his cross and company

make his purpose plain.


4. Heav'n shall not wait

for our legalised obedience,

defined by statute,

to strict conventions bound:

Jesus is Lord;

he has hallmarked true allegiance –

goodness appears

where his grace is sought and found.


5. Heav'n shall not wait

for triumphant hallelujahs,

when earth has passed

and we reach another shore:

Jesus is Lord

in our present imperfection;

his pow'r and love

are for now and then for evermore.

and nations value human life and worth;

where in the darkness lamps of hope are lighted

and Christ is honoured over all the earth.

to mould and make us stones with which to build

God's holy temple, through eternal ages,

Lord God almighty!

All thy works shall praise thy name,

in earth and sky and sea;

holy, holy, holy!

Merciful and mighty!

God in three persons,

blessed Trinity!

1. Holy Spirit, hear us;

help us while we sing;

breathe into the music

of the praise we bring.


2. Holy Spirit, prompt us

when we kneel to pray;

nearer come, and teach us

what we ought to say.


3. Holy Spirit, shining

on the book we read;

gild its holy pages

with the light we need.


4. Holy Spirit, give us

each a lowly mind;

make us more like Jesus,

gentle, pure, and kind.

daily by thy might,

what is wrong to conquer,

and to choose the right.

1. Holy Spirit, will you be

one who intercedes for me?

When I wonder what to pray,

how to phrase the words I say.

Come in might and majesty -

help me in my frailty.


2. Holy Spirit, will you be

one who intercedes through me?

When I lack the words to tell

what my feelings say too well

speak through ev'ry sigh and groan

making my emotions known.


3. Holy Spirit, will you be

one who intercedes with me?

Come, and search my heart and mind,

my desires and motives find;

take my deepest thoughts and cares,

turn them into fervent pray'rs.


4. Holy Spirit, will you be

one who intercedes for me!

You alone can understand

what the mind of God has planned -

and within his will you lead

all for whom you intercede.

1. How good is the God we adore!

Our faithful, unchangeable friend:

his love is as great as his pow'r

and knows neither measure nor end.


2. For Christ is the first and the last;

his Spirit will guide us safe home;

we'll praise him for all that is past

and trust him for all that's to come.

1. How lovely on the mountains

are the feet of him

who brings good news, good news,

announcing peace,

proclaiming news of happiness:

our God reigns, our God reigns.


Our God reigns. (x4)
2. You watchmen, lift your voices

joyfully as one,

shout for your King, your King!

See eye to eye,

the Lord restoring Zion:

our God reigns, our God reigns.


3. Wasteplaces of Jerusalem,

break forth with joy!

We are redeemed, redeemed.

The Lord has saved

and comforted his people:

our God reigns, our God reigns.


4. Ends of the earth, see

the salvation of our God!

Jesus is Lord, is Lord!

Before the nations,

he has bared his holy arm:

our God reigns, our God reigns!

1. How shall I sing that majesty

which angels do admire?

Let dust in dust and silence lie;

sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.

Thousands of thousands stand around

thy throne, O God most high;

ten thousand times ten thousand sound

thy praise; but who am I?


2. Thy brightness unto them appears,

whilst I thy footsteps trace;

a sound of God comes to my ears,

but they behold thy face.

They sing because thou art their Sun;

Lord, send a beam on me;

for where heav'n is but once begun

there alleluias be.


3. How great a being, Lord, is thine,

which doth all beings keep!

Thy knowledge is the only line

to sound so vast a deep.

Thou art a sea without a shore,

a sun without a sphere;

thy time is now and evermore,

thy place is ev'rywhere.

282 John Newton (1725-1807)
1. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

in a believer's ear!

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,

and drives away our fear.


2. It makes the wounded spirit whole,

and calms the troubled breast;

'tis manna to the hungry soul,

and to the weary, rest.


3. Dear name! the rock on which I build,

my shield and hiding-place,

my never-failing treas'ry filled

with boundless stores of grace.


4. Jesus! my shepherd, brother, friend,

my prophet, priest, and king,

my Lord, my life, my way, my end,

accept the praise I bring.


5. Weak is the effort of my heart,

and cold my warmest thought;

but when I see thee as thou art,

I'll praise thee as I ought.


6. Till then I would thy love proclaim

with ev'ry fleeting breath;

and may the music of thy name

refresh my soul in death.

I am a new creation,

no more in condemnation,

here in the grace of God I stand.
My heart is overflowing,

my love just keeps on growing,

here in the grace of God I stand.
And I will praise you, Lord,

yes, I will praise you, Lord,

and I will sing of all that you have done
A joy that knows no limit,

a lightness in my spirit,

here in the grace of God I stand.

1. I am the bread of life.

You who come to me shall not hunger;

and who believe in me shall not thirst.

No one can come to me

unless the Father beckons.
And I will raise you up,

and I will raise you up,

and I will raise you up on the last day.
2. The bread that I will give

is my flesh for the life of the world,

and if you eat of this bread,

you shall live for ever,

you shall live for ever.
3. Unless you eat

of the flesh of the Son of Man,

and drink of his blood,

and drink of his blood,

you shall not have life within you.
4. I am the resurrection,

I am the life.

If you believe in me,

even though you die,

you shall live for ever.
5. Yes, Lord, I believe

that you are the Christ,

the Son of God,

who has come

into the world.

1. I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus,

trusting only thee;

trusting thee for full salvation,

great and free.

at thy feet I bow;

for thy grace and tender mercy,

trusting now.


3. I am trusting thee for cleansing

in the crimson flood;

trusting thee to make me holy

by thy blood.


4. I am trusting thee to guide me;

thou alone shalt lead,

ev'ry day and hour supplying

all my need.


5. I am trusting thee for power,

thine can never fail;

words which thou thyself shalt give me

must prevail.


6. I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus;

never let me fall;

I am trusting thee for ever,

and for all.

1. I believe in Jesus;

I believe he is the Son of God.

I believe he died and rose again.

I believe he paid for us all.

And I believe he's here now

standing in our midst;

here with the power to heal now,

and the grace to forgive.


2. I believe in you, Lord;

I believe you are the Son of God.

I believe you died and rose again.

I believe you paid for us all.

And I believe you're here now

1. I bind unto myself today

the strong name of the Trinity,

by invocation of the same,

the Three in One, and One in Three.


2. I bind unto myself today

the virtues of the starlit heav'n,

the glorious sun's life-giving ray

the whiteness of the moon at even,

the flashing of the lightning free,

the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,

the stable earth, the deep salt sea

around the old eternal rocks.


3. I bind unto myself today

the power of God to hold and lead,

his eye to watch, his might to stay,

his ear to hearken to my need;

the wisdom of my God to teach,

his hand to guide, his shield to ward,

the word of God to give me speech,

his heav'nly host to be my guard.
