Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: John 12:23 Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad,
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of our God.
2 But in the grace that rescued man
his brightest form of glory shines;
here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete;
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved and died;
her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Proper 22 Year A Used With Tune: NÜRNBERG

Than all the angels in the sky.

Beautiful Savior
See what a living stone
Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: John 12 Lyrics: 1 See what a living Stone
the Builders did refuse;
Yet God hath built his Church thereon,
in Spite of envious Jews.
2 The Scribe and angry Priest
reject thine only Son;
Yet on this Rock shall Zion rest,
as the chief Corner-Stone.
3 The Work, O Lord, is thine,
and wondrous in our Eyes:
This Day declares it all divine,
this Day did Jesus rise.
4 This is the glorious Day
that our Redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing and pray,
let all the Church be glad.
5 Hosanna to the King
of David's Royal Blood;
Bless him, ye Saints; he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
6 We bless thine holy Word,
which all this Grace displays;
And offer on thine Altar, Lord,
our Sacrifice of Praise.

Manifestation t othe Gentiles
Meter: Irregular Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-23 First Line: Sons of men, behold from far Lyrics: 1 Sons of men, behold from far,
Hail the long expected star;
Jacob's star that gilds the night,
Guides bewilder'd nature right.

Wars, or pestilence below;
Wars are quell'd and tumults cease,
As appears the Prince of Peace.
3 Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing thro' the shades of death;
Scatt'ring error’s wide spread night,
Kindling darkness into light.
4 Nations all, far off and near,
Haste to see your Lord appear;
Haste, for him your hearts prepare,
Meet him manifested there.
5 There behold the day spring rise,
Pouring eye sight on your eyes;
God in his own light survey,
Shining to the perfect day.
6 Sing ye morning stars again;
God descends on earth to reign!
Deigns for man his life t' employ,
Shout ye sons of God, for joy.

God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: John 12:23-24 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west, wherever feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase
the love of God in all mankind, the reign of the Prince of peace?
What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea?
4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world;
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Topics: Advent III Year B; New Year Used With Tune: BENSON
