we sing his glory, tell his worth. 2. Tell of his birth at Bethlehem, not in a royal house or hall, but in a stable dark and dim, the Word made flesh, a light for all. 3. Tell of his death at Calvary, hated by those he came to save; in lonely suff'ring on the cross: for all he loved, his life he gave. 4. Tell of that glorious Easter morn, empty the tomb, for he was free; he broke the pow'r of death and hell that we might share his victory. 5. Tell of his reign at God's right hand, by all creation glorified. He sends his Spirit on his Church to live for him, the Lamb who died. 6. Now we rejoice to name him King: Jesus is Lord of all the earth. This gospel-message we proclaim: we sing his glory, tell his worth. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
and his name is Jesus. Jesus the King is risen, (x3) early in the morning. 2. Trees are waving a royal welcome (x3) for the King called Jesus. 3.

and ev'ry step will be a prayer. Hope is rising, new day dawning; sound of singing fills the air. 2. Two thousand years, and still the flame is burning bright across the land. Hearts are waiting, longing, aching, for awak'ning once again. Let the flame burn brighter in the heart of the darkness, turning night to glorious day Let the song grow louder, as our love grows stronger, let it shine! Let it shine! 3. We'll walk for truth, speak out for love; in Jesus' name we shall be strong, to lift the fallen, to save the children, to fill the nation with your song. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
wherein thine honour dwells; the joy of thine abode all earthly joy excels. 2. It is the house of prayer, wherein thy servants meet; and thou, O Lord, art there thy chosen flock to greet. 3. We love the sacred font; for there the holy Dove to pour is ever wont his blessing from above. 4. We love thine altar, Lord; O what on earth so dear? For there, in faith adored, we find thy presence near. 5. We love the word of life, the word that tells of peace, of comfort in the strife, and joys that never cease. 6. We love to sing below for mercies freely giv'n; but O, we long to know the triumph-song of heav'n. 7. Lord Jesus, give us grace on earth to love thee more, in heav'n to see thy face, and with thy saints adore. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand: he sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, the breezes and the sunshine, and soft, refreshing rain. AlI good gifts around us are sent from heav'n above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, for all his love. 2. He only is the maker of all things near and far; he paints the wayside flower, he lights the evening star; he fills the earth with beauty, by him the birds are fed; much more to us, his children, he gives our daily bread. 3. We thank thee then, O Father, for all things bright and good: the seed-time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food. Accept the gifts we offer for all thy love imparts, and, what thou most desirest, our humble, thankful hearts. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
to hear us in thy love, and pour upon thy children the unction from above; that so in love abiding, from all defilement free, we may in pureness offer our Eucharist to thee. 2. Be thou our guide and helper, O Jesus Christ, we pray; so may we well approach thee, if thou wilt be the Way: thou, very Truth, halt promised to help us in our strife, food of the weary pilgrim, eternal source of life. 3. And thou, creator Spirit, look on us, we are thine; renew in us thy graces, upon our darkness shine; that, with thy benediction upon our souls outpoured, we may receive in gladness the body of the Lord. 4. O Trinity of Persons, O Unity most high, on thee alone relying thy servants would draw nigh: unworthy in our weakness, on thee our hope is stayed, and blessed by thy forgiveness we will not be afraid. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
when they crucified my Lord? (Repeat) O, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? 2. Were you there when they nailed him to a tree? ... 3. Were you there when they pierced him in the side? ... 4. Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? ... 5.Were you there when he rose to glorious life? ... _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 708 Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) alt. 1. We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope, though all deride, will turn to gain this bitter loss. 2. Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3. The cross! it takes our guilt away: it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4. It makes the coward spirit brave to face the darkness of the night; it takes the terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5. The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heav'n above. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
bearing gifts we traverse afar; field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy putt light. 2. Born a King on Bethlehem plain, gold I bring, to crown him again, King for ever, ceasing never, over us all to reign. 3. Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh, prayer and praising, gladly raising, worship him, God most high. 4. Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom; sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb. 5. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and sacrifice; alleluia, alleluia, earth to heav'n replies. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
giver of good and origin of life; your love is at the heart of all creation, your hurt is people's pain in war and death. 2. We turn to you, that we may be forgiven for crucifying Christ on earth again. We know that we have never wholly striven, to share with all the promise of your reign. 3. Free ev'ry heart from haughty self-reliance, our ways of thought inspire with simple grace; break down among us barriers of defiance, speak to the soul of all the human race. 4. On all who rise on earth for right relations, we pray the light of love from hour to hour. Grant wisdom to the leaders of the nations, the gift of carefulness to those in pow’r. 5. Teach us, good Lord, to serve the need of others, help us to give and not to count the cost. Unite us all to live as sisters, brothers, defeat our Babel with your Pentecost! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
a banner that flies across this land, that all men might see the truth and know he is the way to heaven. (Repeat) We want to see, we want to see, we want to see Jesus lifted high. We want to see, we want to see, we want to see Jesus lifted high. Step by step we're moving forward, little by little taking ground, ev'ry prayer a powerful weapon, strongholds come tumbling down, and down, and down, and down. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index 712 John L. Bell (b. 1949) and Graham Maule (b. 1958) ©1989 WGRG, Iona Community 1. We will lay our burden down, we will lay our burden down, we will lay our burden down in the hands of the risen Lord. 2.

We will show both hurt and hope, we will show both hurt and hope, we will show both hurt and hope, like the hands of the risen Lord. 4. We will walk the path of peace, we will walk the path of peace, we will walk the path of peace, hand in hand with the risen Lord. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index

all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry ev'rything to him in prayer! what peace we often forfeit, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry ev'rything to God in prayer! 2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged: take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness - take it to the Lord in prayer! 3. Are we weak and heavy-laden, cumbered with a load of care? Jesus only is our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I had sought, since Jesus came into my heart! Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart, floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart! 2. I have ceased from my wand'ring and going astray since Jesus came into my heart! And my sins which were many are all washed away since Jesus came into my heart! 3. I'm possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure, since Jesus came into my heart! And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure, since Jesus came into my heart! 4. There's a light in the valley of death now for me, since Jesus came into my heart! And the gates of the city beyond I can see, since Jesus came into my heart! 5. I shall go there to dwell in that city, I know, since Jesus came into my heart! And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go, since Jesus came into my heart! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: come, greet the infant Lord, the babe, the Son of Mary! 2. Why lies he in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear: for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear, shall pierce him through, the cross be borne for me, for you; hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the Son of Mary! 3. So bring him incense, gold and myrrh, come rich and poor, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high, the Virgin sings her lullaby: joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe the Son of Mary! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
on Matthew's burdened conscience lay: what longings deep within him stirred, a wakened at the Baptist's word, to turn, and from his past be free, when Jesus called him, 'Follow me!' 2. As in a dream, forsaking all, he rose and answered Jesus' call. By mountainside and shore and town he set his Master's teaching down: a coming kingdom, known of old, and in the scriptures long foretold. 3. And we with Matthew hear and see and walk with Christ in Galilee, the Son at last of David's line, the promised Saviour, King divine, by whom alone are sins forgiv'n, whose throne is evermore in heav'n. 4. So may we follow Christ today, his work to do, his word obey, the Lord on whom our sins are laid, by whom our debt is freely paid, who died and rose and lives again: O Son of Man, return and reign! _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
that chose to be made small? Exchanging untold majesty for a world so pitiful. That God should come as one of us, I'll never understand. The more I hear the story told, the more amazed I am. O what else can I do but kneel and worship you, and come just as I am, my whole life an offering. 2. The One in whom we live and move in swaddling cloths lies bound. The voice that cried, 'Let there be light', asleep without a sound. The One who strode among the stars, and called each one by name, lies helpless in a mother's arms and must learn to walk again. 3. What greater love could he have shown to shamed humanity, yet human pride hates to believe in such deep humility. But nations now may see his grace and know that he is near, when his meek heart, his words, his works are incarnate in us here. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
Enlarged Songs of Praise' 1. When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old, he was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold; with a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand, for God and for valour he rode through the land. 2. No charger have I, and no sword by my side, yet still to adventure and battle I ride, though back into storyland giants have fled, and the knights are no more and the dragons are dead. 3. Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed 'gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed; and let me set free, with the sword of my youth, from the castle of darkness, the pow'r of the truth. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
my rising soul surveys, transported with the view, I'm lost in wonder, love and praise. 2. Unnumbered comforts to my soul thy tender care bestowed, before my infant heart conceived from whom those comforts flowed. 3. When in such slipp'ry paths I ran in childhood's careless days, thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, to walk in adult ways. 4. When worn with sickness oft hast thou with health renewed my face; and when in sins and sorrows sunk, revived my soul with grace. 5. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts my daily thanks employ, and not the least a cheerful heart which tastes those gifts with joy. 6. Through ev'ry period of my life thy goodness I'll pursue, and after death in distant worlds the glorious theme renew. 7. Through all eternity to thee a joyful song I'll raise; for O! eternity's too short to utter all thy praise. _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
and nights are filled with pain; when ev'ry waking moment your faith is under strain; when burdens weigh upon you that seem too hard to bear; remember then the promise of Jesus, 'I'll be there.' 2. When all around forsake you and you feel left alone; when those you thought most loyal have taken wings and flown; when dreams lie bruised and broken and no one sheds a tear; remember then the promise of Jesus, 'I am here.' 3. When life is dark with shadows, its sparkle long since gone; when winter's chill encroaches where summer sun once shone; when days that gleamed with promise are tarnished now with care; remember then the promise of Jesus, 'I'll be there.' 4. When ev'rything you hoped for lies trampled in the dust; when there seems nothing solid in which to put your trust; when worry holds you captive - a slave to ev'ry fear; remember then the promise of Jesus, 'I am here.' _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
he took the pain of Jesus' birth, he took the flight of refugee, and whispered: 'Humbly follow me.' 2. When God Almighty went to work, carpenter's sweat he did not shirk, profit and loss he did not flee, but whispered: 'Humbly follow me.' 3. When God Almighty walked the street, the critic's curse he had to meet, the cynic's smile he had to see, and whispered: 'Humbly follow me.' 4. When God Almighty met the folk, of peace and truth he gladly spoke to set the slave and tyrant free, and whispered: 'Humbly follow me.' 5. When God Almighty took his place to save the fallen, human race, he took it boldly on a tree, and whispered: 'Humbly follow me.' 6. When God Almighty comes again, he'll meet us incognito as then; and though no words may voice his plea, he'll whisper: 'Are you following me?' _________________________________________ Back to First Letter Index
he filled it full of his love; when God made the garden of creation, he saw that it was good. There's room for you, and room for me, and room for ev'ryone: for God is a Father who loves his children, and gives them a place in the sun. When God made the garden of creation, he filled it full of his love. 2. When God made the hamper of creation, he filled it full of his love; when God made the hamper of creation, he saw that it was good. There's food for you, and food for me, and food for ev'ryone: but often we're greedy, and waste God's bounty, so some don't get any at all. When God made the hamper of creation, he filled it full of his love. 3. When God made the fam'ly of creation, he made it out of his love; when God made the fam'ly of creation, he saw that it was good. There's love for you, and love for me, and love for ev'ryone: but sometimes we're selfish, ignore our neighbours, and seek our own place in the sun. When God made the fam'ly of creation, he made it out of his love. 4. When God made us stewards of creation he made us his vision to share; Yüklə 4,64 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
