All my heart this night rejoices
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 276 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:8 Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices,
as I hear,
far and near,
sweetest angel voices:
'Christ is born!' their choirs are singing,
'till the air
everywhere
now with joy is ringing.
2 Hark, a voice from yonder manger,
soft and sweet,
doth entreat,
'flee from woe and danger;
children, come; from all doth grieves you
you are freed,
all you need
I will surely give you.'
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
here let all,
great and small,
kneel in awe and wonder;
love him who with love is yearning;
hail the star
that from far
bright with hope is burning!
4 Thee, O Lord, with care I'll cherish;
live to thee,
and with thee
dying, shall not perish;
but shall dwell with thee for ever,
far on high
in the joy
that can alter never. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: BONN

Wonderful Peace
Author: W. D. Cornell Appears in 205 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:4 First Line: Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Refrain First Line: Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace Lyrics: 1 Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
Chorus:
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

Buried deep in the heart of my soul;
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll. (Chorus)
3 I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul. (Chorus)
4 And methinks when I rise to that City of peace,
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom shall be: (Chorus)
5 Ah! soul, are you here without comfort or rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime. (Chorus)

Chief of Sinners Though I Be
Author: William McComb Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:8 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be,

Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting as eternity.
Love that found me--wondrous tho't!--
Found me when I sought Him not.

Balm to heal the smitten heart;
Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n,
Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n;
Faith and hope to walk with God
In the way that Enoch trod.
4 Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is All in all to me;
All my wants to Him are known,
All my sorrows are His own.
Safe with Him from earthly strife,
He sustains the hidden life.

By Thy Spirit and Thy Word!
When my wayward heart would stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Grace in time of need supply
While I live and when I die.
Amen.

The new community of love
In Christ's communion bread,

Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends,
And strangers now are friends.

Unseen, but ever near,
Is in such friendship better known,
Alive among us here,
Alive among us here.
5 Together met, together bound
By all that God has done,
We'll go with joy, to give the world
The love that makes us one,
The love that makes us one.

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:18 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here,
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 We come with self-inflicted pains
of broken trust and chosen wrong,
half-free, half-bound by inner chains,
by social forces swept along,
by powers and systems close confined,
yet seeking hope for humankind.
3 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
4 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
5 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: ABINGDON

O Lord, While We Confess
Author: Mary B. Peters Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:4 First Line: O Lord, while we confess the worth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, while we confess the worth
Of this the outward seal,
Do Thou the truths herein set forth
To every heart reveal.
2 Death to the world we here avow,
Death to each fleshly lust;
Newness of life our calling now,
A risen Lord our trust.
3 And we, O Lord, who now partake
Of resurrection life,
With every sin, for Thy dear sake,
Would be at constant strife.
4 Baptized into the Father’s name,
We’d walk as sons of God;
Baptized in Thine, we own Thy claim
As ransomed by Thy blood.
5 Baptized into the Holy Ghost,
We’d keep His temple pure;
And make Thy grace our only boast,
And by Thy strength endure.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:4 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness,
See what today is done;
Now, after gloom and sadness,
Comes forth the glorious sun.
My Savior there was laid
Where our bed must be made
When to the realms of light
Our spirit wings its flight.
2 The foe in triumph shouted
When Christ lay in the tomb;
But lo, he now is routed,
His boast is turned to gloom.
For Christ again is free;
In glorious victory
He who is strong to save
Has triumphed o'er the grave.
3 This is a sight that gladdens--
What peace it doth impart!
Now nothing ever saddens
The joy within my heart.
No gloom shall ever shake,
No foe shall ever take
The hope which God's own Son
In love for me hath won.
4 Now hell, its prince, the devil,
Of all their pow'r are shorn;
Now I am safe from evil,
And sin I laugh to scorn.
Grim death with all his might
Cannot my soul affright;
It is a pow'rless form,
Howe'er it rave and storm.
5 The world against me rages,
Its fury I disdain;
Though bitter war it wages,
Its work is all in vain.
My heart from care is free,
No trouble troubles me.
Misfortune now is play,
And night is bright as day.
6 Now I will cling forever
To Christ, my Savior true;
My Lord will leave me never,
Whate'er He passes through.
He rends death's iron chain;
He breaks through sin and pain;
He shatters hell's dark thrall;
I follow Him through all.
7 He brings me to the portal
That leads to bliss untold,
Whereon this rhyme immortal
Is found in script of gold:
"Who there My cross has shared
Finds here a crown prepared;
Who there with Me has died
Shall here be glorified."

who died to save the world he made,

he rose, the prince of life and peace,
and stamped the day for ever his.
2 This is the day the Lord has made,
that all may see his love displayed,
may feel his resurrection's power,
and rise again to fall no more,
in perfect righteousness renewed,
and filled with all the life of God.
3 Then let us render him his own,
with solemn prayer approach the throne,
with meekness hear the gospel word,
with thanks his dying love record;
our joyful hearts and voices raise,
and fill his courts with songs of praise.

Love's redeeming work is done

Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.

where, O death, is now thy sting?
dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?

following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

My heart and voice I raise
Author: Benjamin Rhodes, 1743-1815 Meter: 6.6.8 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:6-11 Lyrics: 1 My heart and voice I raise
to spread Messiah's praise,
Messiah's praise let all repeat:
the universal Lord,
by whose almighty word
creation rose in form complete.
2 A servant's form he wore,
and in his body bore
our dreadful curse on Calvary:
he like a victim stood
and poured his sacred blood
to set the guilty captives free.
3 But soon the Victor rose
triumphant o'er his foes,
and led the vanquished host in chains:
he threw their empire down,
his foes compelled to own,
o'er all the great Messiah reigns.
4 With mercy's mildest grace
he governs all our race
in wisdom, righteousness and love:
who to Messiah fly
shall find redemption nigh,
and all his great salvation prove.
5 Hail, Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Your kingdom shall increase
till all the world your glory see,
and righteousness abound
as the great deep profound,
and fill the earth with purity.

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:1-4 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored,
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear;
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines and ventures new
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon–
all you endeavored done. Topics: Communion of the Saints; Discipleship; Labor; Occasional Services Dedication of Holy Living Used With Tune: REPTON

O Lord, Our Strength in Weakness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, (1807-1885), a. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:4 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our strength in weakness,
We pray to Thee for grace;
For pow'r to fight the battle,
For speed to run the race;
When Thy baptismal waters
Were poured upon our brow,
We then were made Thy children,
And pledged our earliest vow.
2 We then were sealed and hallowed
By Thy life-giving Word,
Were made the Spirit's temples,
And members of the Lord;
With His own blood He bought us,
And made the purchase sure;
His are we: may He keep us
Forever chaste and pure.
3 Conformed to His own likeness
May we so live and die,
That in the grave our bodies
In holy peace may lie,
And at the resurrection
Forth from those graves may spring
Like to the glorious body
Of Christ, our Lord and King.
4 The pure in heart are blessèd,
For they shall see the Lord
Forever and forever
By Seraphim adored;
And they shall drink the pleasures,
Such as no tongue can tell,
From heaven' crystal river,
And life's eternal well.
Amen. Topics: Confirmation; Sunday after New Year; Trinity, Sixth Sunday; Baptism; Perseverance; Vows Of Confirmation Used With Tune: NEED
