Stand up and bless the Lord
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 398 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord;
all people now rejoice:
stand up and bless the Lord your God
with heart and soul and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
above all blessing high,
who would not fear his holy name,
give thanks and glorify?
3 O for the living flame
from his own altar brought,
to touch our lips, our minds inspire,
and wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
and his salvation ours;
then be his love in Christ proclaimed
with all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up and bless the Lord,
the Lord your God adore;
stand up and bless his glorious name
both now and evermore. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the worship of God's house; Adoration Of God Used With Tune: CARLISLE

O Spirit of the living God
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
in all the fullness of thy grace,
wherever human feet hath trod,
descend on our rebellious race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
to preach the reconciling word;
give power and unction from above
whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
confusion, order in thy path;
souls without strength inspire with might;
bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
the whole round earth her God to meet;
breathe thou abroad like morning air,
till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
the triumphs of the cross record;
the name of Jesus glorify
till every kindred call him Lord. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: LUDBOROUGH
O Spirit of the living God
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:21 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face;
here would I touch and handle things unseen,
here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace,
and all my weariness upon thee lean.
2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven;
here would I lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood;
here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace —
thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.
4 I have no help but thine; nor do I need
another arm save thine to lean upon;
it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.
5 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear;
the feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
the bread and wine remove, but thou art here,
nearer than ever, still our shield and sun.
6 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to the glad feast above,
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love. Topics: Holy Communion; Proper 9 Year A; Proper 16 Year B; Proper 23 Year A; Third Sunday Before Advent Year A Used With Tune: MAGDA

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
that radiant form of thine;
the veil of sense hangs dark between
thy blessèd face and mine.
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
yet art thou oft with me;
and earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
as where I meet with thee.
3 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,
unseen, but not unknown.
4 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
and still this throbbing heart,
the rending veil shall thee reveal
all glorious as thou art. Topics: Proper 17 Year C; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' (GRÄFENBERG)

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.6.6.9 Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Lyrics: 1 Come away to the skies,
My belovèd, arise
And rejoice in the day you were born;
On this festival day,
Come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.
2 Now with singing and praise,
Let us spend all the days,
By our heavenly Father bestowed,
While his grace we receive
From his bounty, and live
To the honor and glory of God.
3 For thy glory we were
First created to share,
Both the nature and kingdom divine!
Now created again
That our lives may remain,
Throughout time and eternity, thine.
4 We with thanks do approve
The design of that love
Which has joined us to Jesus’ name;
So united in heart,
Let us never more part,
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
5 Hallelujah we sing,
To our Father and King,
And his rapturous praises, repeat:
To the Lamb that was slain,
Hallelujah again,
Sing, all heaven and fall at his feet.

From the eastern mountains
Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 164 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:8 Lyrics: 1 From the eastern mountains
pressing on they come,
wise men in their wisdom,
to his humble home;
stirred by deep devotion,
hasting from afar,
ever journeying onward,
guided by a star.
2 There their Lord and Saviour
meek and lowly lay,
wondrous light that led them
onward on their way,
ever now to lighten
nations from afar,
as they journey homeward
by that guiding star.
3 Thou who in a manger
once hast lowly lain,
who dost now in glory
o'er all kingdoms reign,
gather in the peoples,
who in lands afar
ne'er have seen the brightness
of thy guiding star.
*4 Gather in the outcasts,
all who've gone astray;
throw thy radiance o'er them,
guide them on their way:
those who never knew thee,
those who've wandered far,
guide them by the brightness
of thy guiding star.
*5 Onward through the darkness
of the lonely night,
shining still before them
with thy kindly light,
guide them, Jew and Gentile,
homeward from afar,
young and old together,
by thy guiding star.
6 Until every nation,
whether bond or free,
'neath thy star-lit banner,
Jesu, follow thee
o'er the distant mountains
to that heavenly home,
where nor sin nor sorrow
evermore shall come. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Used With Tune: EVELYNS
