O my Jesus! O my Jesus!

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Lyrics: 1 O my Jesus! O my Jesus! Bridegroom of my Heart, Who espoused, who espoused, To my Nature Art; Thou, my Love, hast bore my Blame, Thy dear Wounds and lovely Name, Deep imprest upon my Breast, Shall always be my Flame. 2 O was ever, O was ever, Lover like the Lamb! No, no, never, no, no, never, Was so true a Flame, As what burns on Jesu's Blood, As the dying Love of God, God-like glorious, Love's victorious, Though by Hell withstood. 3 In my Weakness, in my Weakness, There I always see Constant Witness, constant Witness, That thy Love is free: Empty I, of Goodness void, Whilst on thee, my Lamb, I'm staid, Thou art Love, and this I prove, And shall not be afraid. 4 Mercy raises, mercy raises, My lost Nature high; Love amazes, love amazes, Whilst I, wond'ring, cry: O my Love! how kind thine Heart, Taking of my Flesh a Part; In thy Body, once so bloody, I am as thou art.

Built on the Rock of Christ

Author: Mary Louise Bringle Meter: 10.10.10.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-6 First Line: Built on the rock of Christ and Christ alone Lyrics: Built on the rock of Christ and Christ alone, sound and unshaken through the tides of change, our forebears carved a house of living stone, with faith that strengthens through the years. Alleluia! Warmed by the Light that pierces through the gloom, sparkling with colors in a radiant stream, we glimpse our Lord Who rises from the tomb, with hope that calms and conquers fears. Alleluia! Bathed in the font of God's renewing grace, blessed with forgiveness and with gifts to share, our arms extend our Savior's wide embrace, with love that sings, through joys and tears, Alleluia! Praise be to God, creation's Source and End praise be to Christ, our Way, our Truth, our Life; and praised be Spirit, live and rushing Wind: the One Who even now appears! Alleluia!

As newborn stars were stirred to song

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 Lyrics: 1 As newborn stars were stirred to song when all things came to be, as Miriam and Moses sang when Israel was set free, so music bursts unbidden forth when God-filled hearts rejoice, to waken awe and gratitude and give mute faith a voice. 2 In psalms that raise the singer’s sense to universal truths, in prophet’s dark-toned oracle or hymn of three brave youths: the song of faith and praise endured through those God called to be a chosen people bearing light for all the world to see. 3 When God’s redeeming Word took flesh to make salvation sure, unheeding hearts attuned to strife refused love’s overture. Yet to the end the song went on: a supper’s parting hymn, a psalm intoned on dying lips when sun and hope grew dim. 4 But silence won no vict’ry there; a rest was all it scored before glad alleluias rose to greet the risen Lord. The church still keeps that song alive, for death has lost its sting, and with the gift of life renewed the heart will ever sing. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Praise Used With Tune: ALEXANDRA
