Of the Father’s Love Begotten
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 5th cent.; Henry Williams Baker; John M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 First Line: Of the Father's love begotten Refrain First Line: evermore and evermore! Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega;
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore!
2 By his Word was all created;
he commanded; it was done:
heaven and earth and depths of ocean,
universe of three in one,
all that sees the moon’s soft shining,
all that breathes beneath the sun,
evermore and evermore!
3 O, that birth forever blessed
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race,
and the babe, the world’s Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore!
4 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word.
Now he shines, the long-expected.
Let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore!
5 O ye heights of heaven, adore him.
Angel hosts, his praises sing.
Powers, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent;
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore!
6 Christ, to thee with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and unwearied praises be.
Honor, glory, and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore! Amen.

Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Johann Jacob Schütz Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 194 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
With healing balm my soul is filled,
and every faithless murmur stilled:
to God all praise and glory!

God's gracious mercy keepeth;
by morning glow or evening shade
God's watchful eye ne'er sleepeth.
Within the kingdom of God's might,
lo! all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever-present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing,
as with a mother's tender hand
God gently leads the chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Thus all my toilsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises.
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body, take your part:
to God all praise and glory!

And praise to God alone.

Would live our lives for You.

Confess to friend and neighbor
Your advent ever near.

True man, yet God and Lord.

And faith as sure as theirs.

And hold them when they waver
With Your almighty arm.

Author of faith, eternal Word
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Lyrics: 1 Author of faith, eternal Word,
whose Spirit breathes the active flame;
faith, like its finisher and Lord,
today as yesterday the same:
2 To thee our humble hearts aspire,
and ask the gift unspeakable;
increase in us the kindled fire,
in us the work of faith fulfil.
3 By faith we know thee strong to save –
save us, a present Saviour thou!
Whate'er we hope, by faith we have,
future and past subsisting now.
4 The things unknown to feeble sense,
unseen by reason's glimmering ray,
with strong, commanding evidence,
their heav'nly origin display.
5 Faith lends its realizing light,
the clouds disperse, the shadows fly;
the Invisible appears in sight,
and God is seen by mortal eye. Used With Tune: IVYHATCH

that all thy Church might be for ever one,
grant us at every eucharist to say,
with longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
by drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace;
thus may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
back to the faith which saints believed of old,
back to the Church which still that faith doth keep;
soon may we all one bread, one body be,
one through this sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
may we be one with all thy Church above,
one with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
one with thy saints in one unbounded love:
more blessèd still, in peace and love to be
one with the Trinity in Unity. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Holy Communion; Church unity and ecumenism; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: SONG 1

forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me,

to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread,
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.

we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one,
the love that makes us one.
