| 1. Jesu, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills the breast; but sweeter far thy face to see, and in thy presence rest. 2. No voice can sing, no heart can frame, nor can the meaty find, a sweeter sound than Jesu's name, the Saviour of mankind. 3. O hope of ev'ry contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, to those who ask how kind thou art, how good to those who seek! 4. But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is his true disciples know. 5. Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now, and through eternity. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
thou fount of life, thou perfect grace; from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to seek thy face. 2. Thy truth unchanged hash ever stood, thou savest those that on thee call; to them that seek thee thou art good, to them that find thee, all in all. 3. We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountain-head, and thirst our souls from thee to fill. 4. Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith is holding fast. 5. O Jesu, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
all the nations of the earth: God, who loves the poor and humble, sings of dignity and worth. Those the world has long rejected take at last their rightful place, sharing in the song of Mary, filled with unexpected grace! 2. God has rocked the earth's foundations, turned its values upside-down: strength is overcome by weakness and the humble wear the crown. Now the pow'r of God in action undermines the nations' pride, lifts the poor and feeds the hungry, pushing rich and proud aside. 3. Join the song of praise and protest as the voiceless find a voice, as the pow'rless rise triumphant and the broken hearts rejoice. Now the God of all creation rights the long-accepted wrongs; let the voices of the nations swell the liberation song. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
let earth receive her King; let ev'ry heart prepare him room, and heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and heav'n and nature sing. 2. Joy to the earth! The Saviour reigns; let us our songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy. 3. He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of his righteousness, and wonders of his love, and wonders of his love, and wonders, and wonders of his love. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
serve the Lord in all your ways and come before his presence singing; enter now his courts with praise. For the Lord our God is gracious, and his mercy everlasting. Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Deo! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 366 Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) alt. 1. Judge eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords and King of kings, with thy living fire of judgement purge this realm of bitter things: solace all its wide dominion with the healing of thy wings. 2. Still the weary folk are pining for the hour that brings release: and the city's crowded clangour cries aloud for sin to cease; and the homesteads and the woodlands plead in silence for their peace. 3. Crown, O God, thine own endeavour; cleave our darkness with thy sword; feed thy people's hungry spirits with the richness of thy word: cleanse the body of this nation through the glory of the Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
grant it, Jesus, if you please; daily walking close to thee, let it be, dear Lord, let it be. 2. Through the day of toil that's near, if I fall, dear Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee. 3. When my feeble life is o'er, time for me will be no more. Guide me gently, safely on to the shore, dear Lord, to the shore. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidst me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come. 2. Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come. 3. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; sight, riches, healing of the mind, yea, all I need, in thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come. 4. Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve: because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come. 5. Just as I am, thy love unknown has broken ev'ry barrier down, now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come. 6. Just as I am, of that free love the breadth, length, depth and height to prove, here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
I will love thee; and, that love may never cease, I will move thee. Thou hast granted my appeal, thou hast heard me; thou didst note my ardent zeal, thou hast spared me. 2. Wherefore with my utmost art, I will sing thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring thee. Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me, and alone, when they replied, thou didst hear me. 3. Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enrol thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol thee. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
glory, hallelujah. King of kings and Lord of lords, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, Prince of Peace, glory, hallelujah. Jesus, Prince of Peace, glory, hallelujah. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
O Lord, kum ba yah. 2. Someone's crying, Lord, kum ba yah, (x3) O Lord, kum ba yah.
kum ba yah, (x3) O Lord, kum ba yah.
kum ba yah, (x3) O Lord, kum ba yah. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 372 John Henry Newman (1801-1890) 1. Lead, kindly light, amid th'encircling gloom, lead thou me on; the night is dark, and I am far from home; lead thou me on. Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene; one step enough for me. 2. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou shouldst lead me on; and see my path; but now lead thou me on. I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3. So long thy pow'r hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
o'er the world's tempestuous sea; guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, for we have no help but thee; yet possessing ev'ry blessing if our God our Father be. 2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us, all our weakness thou doss know, thou didst tread this earth before us, thou didst feel its keenest woe; lone and dreary, faint and weary, through the desert thou didst go. 3. Spirit of our God, descending, fill our hearts with heav'nly joy, love with ev'ry passion blending, pleasure that can never cloy; thus provided, pardoned, guided, nothing can our peace destroy. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
in silence and shame, there on your back you carried a world of violence and pain. Bleeding, dying, bleeding, dying.
still weeping she came, when through her grief she heard your voice now speaking her name. Mary, Master, Mary, Master.
now seated on high you have begun your eternal reign of justice and joy. Glory, glory, glory, glory. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 375 Liturgy of St James, trans. G. Moultrie (1829-1885) 1. Let all mortal flesh keep silence and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly-minded, for with blessing in his hand Christ our God on earth descendeth, our full homage to demand. 2. King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, in the body and the blood. He will give to all the faithful his own self for heav'nly food. 3. Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the pow'rs of bell may vanish as the darkness dears away. 4. At his feet the six-winged seraph; cherubim, with sleepless eye, veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord most high. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
my God and King! The heav'ns are not too high, his praise may thither fly; the earth is not too low, his praises there may grow. Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing, my God and King! 2. Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing, my God and King! The Church with psalms must shout, no door can keep them out; but, above all, the heart must bear the longest part. Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing, my God and King! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
without the need to manage and to own; a haven free from posing and pretending, where ev'ry weakness may be safely known. Give me your hand, along the desert pathway, give me your love wherever we may go. As God loves us, so let us love each other: with no demands, just open hands and space to grow. 2. Let love be real, not grasping or confining, that strange embrace that holds yet sets us free; that helps us face the risk of truly living, and makes us brave to be what we might be. Give me your strength when all my words are weakness; give me your love in spite of all you know. 3. Let love be real, with no manipulation, no secret wish to harness or control; let us accept each other's incompleteness, and share the joy of learning to be whole. Give me your hope through dreams and disappointments; give me your trust when all my failings show. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
with those whose work is done; for all the servants of our King in heav'n and earth are one. 2. One family, we dwell in him, one Church, above, beneath; though now divided by the stream, the narrow stream of death. 3. The people of the living God, to his command we bow: part of the host have crossed the flood, and part are crossing now. 4. E'en now to their eternal home there pass some spirits blest; while others to the margin come, waiting their call to rest. 5. Jesu, be thou our constant guide; then, when the word is giv'n, bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, and bring us safe to heav'n. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
let the earth rejoice. Come to God with gladness, with joy lift up your voice. For ours is the rock of ages, the everlasting name; throughout life's chequered stages, he always stays the same. 2. Let the world do honour, let us all sing praise. Bring to God your worries, entrust to him your days. For ours is the Lord eternal, our times are in his hands; despite life's fleeting passage, his loving purpose stands. 3. Let the people marvel, let creation sing. Gather now in wonder, bow down before the King. unending is his reign; beyond life's changing story, his kingdom shall remain. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Let the trees all sway and swing! All creation praise its King! Alleluia!
And the pow'rful wind so strong whistle as it blows along! Alleluia!
in a huge unspoken shout, just to show that God's about! Alleluia! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 381 Dave Bilbrough © 1979 Thankyou Music Let there be love shared among us, let there be love in our eyes. May now your love sweep this nation; cause us, O Lord, to arise. Give us a fresh understanding, brotherly love that is real. Let there be love shared among us, let there be love. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
on our knees, let us break bread together on our knees. When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun, O Lord, have mercy on me.
on our knees, let us share wine together on our knees. When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun, O Lord, have mercy on me.
on our knees, let us praise God together on our knees.

Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace; here the love of Christ shall end division:
and words are strong and true, where all God's children dare to seek to dream God's reign anew. Here the cross shall stand as witness and symbol of God's grace; here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:
in water, wine and wheat: a banquet hall on holy ground, where peace and justice meet. Here the love of God, through Jesus, is revealed in time and space; as we share in Christ the feast that frees us:
beyond the wood and stone to heal and strengthen, serve and teach, and live the Word they've known. Here the outcast and the stranger bear the image of God's face; let us bring an end to fear and danger:
their songs and visions heard and loved and treasured, taught and claimed as words within the Word. Built of tears and cries and laughter, pray'rs of faith and songs of grace, let this house proclaim from floor to rafter: _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 384 James Edward Seddon (1915-1983) © The representatives of the late James Edward Seddon / Jubilate Hymns Used by permission 1. Let us praise God together, let us praise; let us praise God together all our days. He is faithful in all his ways, he is worthy of all our praise, his name be exalted on high.
let us seek his forgiveness as we pray. He will cleanse us from all our sin, he will help us the fight to win, his name be exalted on high.
let our lives show his goodness through each day. Christ the Lord is the world's true light let us serve him with all our might, his name be exalted on high. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 385 Fred Kaan (b. 1929) © 1975 Stainer & Bell Ltd 1. Let us talents and tongues employ, reaching out with a shout of joy: bread is broken, the wine is poured, Christ is spoken and seen and heard. Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again, pass the word around loaves abound! 2. Christ is able to make us one, at his table he sets the tone, teaching people to live to bless, love in word and in deed express. 3. Jesus calls us in, sends us out bearing fruit in a world of doubt, gives us love to tell, bread to share: God-Immanuel everywhere! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
praise the Lord, for he is kind; for his mercies ay endure, ever faithful, ever sure. 2. Let us blaze his name abroad, for of gods he is the God; 3. He, with all-commanding might, filled the new-made world with light; 4. He the golden-tressèd sun caused all day his course to run; 5. And the moon to shine at night, 'mid her starry sisters bright; 6. All things living he doth feed, his full hand supplies their need; 7. Let us, with a gladsome mind, praise the Lord, for he is kind; _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Let your Holy Spirit come and take control of ev'ry situation that has troubled my mind. All my cares and burdens on to you I roll. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Father, Father, Father. Spirit, Spirit, Spirit. 2. Come now, Holy Spirit, and take control. Hold me in your loving arms and make me whole. Wipe away all doubt and fear and take my pride. Draw me to your love and keep me by your side. 3. Give your life to Jesus, let him fill your soul. Let him take you in his arms and make you whole. As you give your life to him, he'll set you free. You will live and reign with him eternally. 4. Let your living water flow over my soul. Let your Holy Spirit come and take control of every situation that has troubled my mind. All my cares and burdens on to you I roll. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Jesus said, 'That's not good enough; life should be great and here's the sign: I'll turn the water into wine.' Jesus turned the water into wine, (x3) and the people saw that life was good. 2. Life is a thing to be enjoyed, not to be wasted or destroyed. Laughter is part of God's design; let's turn the water into wine! 3. Go to the lonely and the sad, give them the news to make them glad, helping the light of hope to shine, turning the water into wine! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
