Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:5 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose word can not be broken,
Form'd thee for his own abode:
On the Rock of ages founded,
Who can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See--the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t' assuage?
Grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray. Topics: The Christian Church Constitution; Zion's Strength and Security

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Author: Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,895 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure--
Save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne--
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,669 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 519 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain or loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Commitment; Jesus Christ Passion and Death; Living in Christ; Redemption Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:2-6 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise!
Triumph o'er the shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day’s return
till thy mercy’s beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day. Topics: Morning; Jesus Christ, Light; Light Used With Tune: RATISBON

Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: Lent II Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 13 Year A Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP
Come, O thou Traveller unknown
