we find in Christ the living source of full reality; and if, within our hearts, the truth is what we long to hear, the whisper of the Spirit comes as music to the ear. 4. Whoever looks for nourishment will find the table spread: the finest riches heaven holds, foretold in wine and bread. The banquet is for ev'ryone, the greatest and the least: for all are called as honoured guests to come and join the feast! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
is crowned with glory now: a royal diadem adorns the mighty victor's brow. 2. The highest place that heav'n afford is his, is his by right. The King of kings and Lord of lords and heav'ns eternal light. 3. The joy of all who dwell above, the joy of all below, to whom he manifests his love, and grants his name to know. 4. To them the cross, with all its shame, with all its grace is giv'n; their name an everlasting name, their joy the joy of heav'n. 5. They suffer with their Lord below, they reign with him above, their profit and their joy to know the myst'ry of his love. 6. The cross he bore is life and health, though shame and death to him; his people's hope, his people's wealth their everlasting theme. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
when they are both full grown, of all the trees that are in the wood the holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, the playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir. 2. The holly bears a blossom, white as the lily flower, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to be our sweet Saviour. 3. The holly bears a berry, as red as any blood, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to do poor sinners good. 4. The holly bears a prickle, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ on Christmas day in the morn. 5. The holly bears a bark, as bitter as any gall, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ for to redeem us all. 6. The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, of all the trees that are in the wood the holly bears the crown. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index

his Spirit is here, tees draw near and worship, let songs fill the air. 2. He looks down upon us, delight in his face, enjoying his children's love, enthralled by our praise. 3.

The Spirit's anointing on all flesh comes down, and we shall be channels for works like his own. 6. We come now believing your promise of pow'r, for we are your people and this is your hour. 7.

whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his and he is mine for ever. 2. Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul he leadeth, and where the verdant pastures grow with food celestial feedeth. 3. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me, and on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me. 4. In death's dark vale I fear no ill with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me. 5. Thou spread'st a table in my sight, thy unction grace bestoweth: and O what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth! 6. And so through all the length of days thy goodness faileth never; good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house for ever. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
now is his work performed; now is the mighty captive freed, and death's strong castle stormed. 2. The Lord is ris'n indeed: then hell has lost his prey, with him is ris'n the ransomed seed to reign in endless day. 3. The Lord is ris'n indeed: he lives, to die no more; he lives, the sinner's cause to plead, whose curse and shame he bore. 4. The Lord is ris'n indeed: attending angels, hear! up to the courts of heav'n with speed the joyful tidings bear. 5. Then take your golden lyres and strike each cheerful chord; join, all ye bright celestial choirs, to sing our risen Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
He makes me down to lie in pastures green. He leadeth me the quiet waters by. 2. My soul he doth restore again, and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e'en for his own name's sake. 3. Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, yet will I fear no ill. For thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 4. My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes, my head thou doss with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 5. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me. And in God's house for evermore my dwelling-place shall be. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
he makes me lie in pastures green, he leads me by the still, still waters, his goodness restores my soul. And I will trust in you alone, and I will trust in you alone, for your endless mercy follows me, your goodness will lead me home. 2. He guides my ways in righteousness, and he anoints my head with oil; and my cup – it overflows with joy, I feast on his pure delights. 3. And though I walk the darkest path – I will not fear the evil one, for you are with me, and your rod and staff are the comfort I need to know. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
so rich and full, so healing and so strong, comes from the love of God our loving Father within whose care we all of us belong. A love which breathed creation into being, a love which hears our deepest hopes and dreams; a love which now within this marriage-making alights on bride and groom to bless and make them one. 2. Through future years, may they hold bright the memory of all the joys on this their wedding day. And as their love grows stronger yet and deeper their rings express much more than words can say. They speak of love that never has an ending, of love that shines, encircles in embrace, of love whose heart is always free and open; our human love reflects the beauty of God's grace. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
the peace of the heavens too; the peace of the rivers be with you, the peace of the oceans too. Deep peace falling over you. God's peace growing in you. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
has seen a glorious light: the people dwell in day, who dwelt in death's surrounding night 2. To hail thy rise, thou better sun, the gath'ring nations come, joyous as when the reapers bear the harvest treasures home. 3. To us a child of hope is born, to us a Son is giv’n; him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heav'n. 4. His name shall be the Prince of Peace for evermore adored, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the great and mighty Lord. 5. His pow'r increasing still shall spread, his reign no end shall know; justice shall guard his throne above, and peace abound below. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
they're two a penny, far too many there must be; there are hundreds and thousands, millions of sparrows, but God knows ev'ry one, and God knows me. 2. There are hundreds of flowers, thousands, millions, and flowers fair the meadows wear for all to see; there are hundreds and thousands, millions of flowers, but God knows ev'ry one, and God knows me. 3. There are hundreds of planets, thousands, millions, way out in space each has a place by God's decree; there are hundreds and thousands, millions of planets, but God knows ev'ry one, and God knows me. 4. There are hundreds of children, thousands, millions, and yet their names are written on God's memory; there are hundreds and thousands, millions of children, but God knows ev'ry one, and God knows me. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
outside a city wall, where the dear Lord was crucified who died to save us all. 2. We may not know, we cannot tell what pains he had to bear, but we believe it was for us he hung and suffered there. 3. He died that we might be forgiv'n, he died to make us good; that we might go at last to heav'n, saved by his precious blood. 4. There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin; he only could unlock the gate of heav'n, and let us in. 5. O, dearly, dearly has he loved, and we must love him too, and trust in his redeeming blood, and try his works to do. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
hear our prayer. In sorrow, in grief be near, hear our prayer, O God. 2. For wisdom, for courage, for comfort: hear our prayer. In weakness, in fear: be near, hear our prayer, O God. 3. For healing, for wholeness, for new life: hear our prayer. In sickness, in death: be near, hear our prayer, O God. 4. Lord save us, take pity, light in our darkness. We call you, we wait: be near, hear our prayer, O God. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Jesus, God's own Son, precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One. Thank you, O my Father, for giving us your Son, and leaving your Spirit till the work on earth is done. 2. Jesus, my Redeemer, name above all names, precious Lamb of God, Messiah, O for sinners slain. 3. When I stand in glory, I will see his face, and there I'll serve my King for ever, in that holy place. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
when we're gathered in the Spirit: it's a promise that he gives us when we gather in his name. There's a love we feel in Jesus, there's a manna that he feeds us: it's a promise that he gives us when we gather in his name. 2. And we know when we're together, sharing love and understanding, that our brothers and our sisters feel the oneness that he brings. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jesus, for the way you love and feed us, for the many ways you lead us, thank you, thank you, Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
there's a song on the lips of the poor; there's a song that protests at injustice, with a faith and a hope that is sure. It's a song of freedom! A song of peace. God keeps his promise; justice will increase. 2. There's a song in the hearts of the people; there's a song on the lips of the youth; there's a song that protests at the waiting for the coming of wholeness and truth. 3. There's a song in the heart of the Saviour; there's a song on the lips of his friends; there's a song that protests for the dying, while proclaiming that life never ends. 4. There's a song in the heart of creation; there's a song on the lips of the healed; there's a song in the graveyard proclaiming that the life of the world is revealed. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
telling Christians ev'rywhere: `Praise the love that Christ revealed, living, working, in our world'! 2.

When believers break the bread, when a hungry child is fed, praise the love that Christ revealed, living, working, in our world. 4.

like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty. 2. There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heav'n; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement giv'n. 3. For the love of God is broader than the scope of human mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4. But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own. 5. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 6. If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives would be all gladness in the joy of Christ our Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
the cross shines forth in mystic glow; where he in flesh, our flesh who made, our sentence bore, our ransom paid. 2. There whilst he hung, his sacred side by soldier's spear was opened wide, to cleanse us in the precious flood of water mingled with his blood. 3. Fulfilled is now what David told in true prophetic song of old, how God the sinner's king should be; for God is reigning from the tree. 4. O tree of glory, tree most fair, ordained those holy limbs to bear, how bright in purple robe it stood, the purple of a Saviour's blood! 5. To thee, eternal Three in One, let homage meet by all be done, as by the cross thou doss restore, so rule and guide us evermore. Amen. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 650 Michael Forster (b. 1946), based on Isaiah 35 © 1993 Kevin Mayhew Ltd. 1. The Saviour will come, resplendent in joy; the lame and the sick new strength will enjoy. The desert, rejoicing, shall burst into flower, the deaf and the speechless will sing in that hour! 2. The Saviour will come, like rain on the earth, to harvest at last his crop of great worth. In patience await him, with firmness of mind; both mercy and judgement his people will find. 3. The Saviour will come, his truth we shall see: where lepers are cleansed and captives set free. No finely clad princeling in palace of gold, but Christ with his people, O wonder untold! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
we witness here among us a mystery believed: that in God's holy presence a marriage has begun and these your precious children have now become as one. For the things of earth and heaven draw closer as we pray, and in heav'n the angels celebrate with us on earth today. 2. For all our many blessings we offer thanks and praise, for gifts of love and fellowship our thankful hearts we raise. God's hand has held us safely and brought us to this day, God has guided and protected and taught us on the way. For the love we learn on earth is the love we'll find in heav'n and the human love we celebrate is love that God has given. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index

now is the Victor's triumph won; O let the song of praise be sung: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 2.
