Lamb Of God, We Follow Thee

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we follow Thee, Willing as Thou art to be, Joyful in Thy steps to go, Suffering for Thy sake below. Taking up our daily cross, Called to shame, and pain, and loss, Well contented to sustain All the rage of cruel man. 2 Who Thy lovely pattern knows Cannot force with force oppose, They that to Thy fold belong Dare not render wrong for wrong. Bruised by the oppressor’s hand Evil they will ne’er withstand, All that follow Thee are meek, Taught to turn the other cheek. 3 Jesu, in Thy gracious power, Lo! we meet the fiery hour, Calm, dispassionate, resigned, Armed with all Thy patient mind. After Thee with joy we come, Sheep before our shearers dumb, Answering not one angry word, True disciples of our Lord. 4 Suffering here we threaten not, Innocent in word and thought, Harmless as a wounded dove, Hatred we repay with love. Turn, almighty as Thou art, Turn our persecutors’ heart, Let them to our faith be given, Let us meet our foes in Heaven.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord (Cullinan)

Author: R. Michael Cullinan Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1. Holy, holy, holy Lord God in Heav’n—on earth adored; Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, with Them One. Lord, Creator of all things, God of prophets, priests and kings: When th’appointed time had come, You sent us Your only Son. 2. Send upon our gifts this day Blessings from Your throne, we pray. May Your Spirit be outpoured At this entrance of the Lord. Let this bread and wine become Flesh and Blood of Your dear Son, That we may united be With our Lord eternally. 3. On the night He was betrayed, As the evening sun did fade, Our Lord Jesus Christ took bread, Giving thanks, blessed it and said: This, My Body, is for you, And My Blood—the Cov’nant New. Eat and drink this sacrament; My gift is your nourishment. 4. Jesus Christ, incarnate One, Son of God and Mary’s son, We recall Your humble birth: King of Heav’n and Lord of earth! We recall Your pain and grief, Endless anguish, no relief, When upon that tree You died For the Church, Your chosen Bride. 5. But no grave, the Lord, could hold; Hence the stone away was rolled, When the resurrected Lord Rose so that He might award Victory over death and grave To those whom He came to save. Now in heaven He shall reign ’Til we see Him come again. 6. Send to us Your Spirit, Lord; By His presence be outpoured Grace on grace and love on love— Every blessing from above. Bless Your Church on earth; preserve All her leaders as they serve. Be with all for whom we pray As we intercede this day. 7. Our hearts, longing from within, Ache for freedom from our sin. In Your mercy, hear our cry To be with Your saints on high. God our Father and the Son And the Spirit, with Them One: You we honor and adore With our praises evermore.

I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned: Well I know my wickedness. Yet I make this prayer to you: Lord, forgive me, heal, and bless. 3 Let me not be lost in sin, Banished to eternal night; God who hears the penitent. Let your goodness show your might. Though I be unworthy, Lord, Your great mercy will I claim, Till I join the hosts above Who forever praise your name. Topics: Penance / Reconciliation; Lent III C Used With Tune: ABERYSTRWYTH
