With loving and adoring thought,
We contemplate Thy grace, O God,
And all Thy deeds with mercy fraught.

Where’er Thy glorious fame extends,
There also is Thy praise proclaimed,
Far as the earth’s remotest ends.
3. Thy hand is full of righteousness;
Let Zion’s gladness then be great,
And let her daughters sing for joy
And all Thy judgments celebrate.

And mark her strong defenses well;
Consider all her palaces,
And to your sons her glory tell.

Our God and Savior to abide,
And till our pilgrim days shall end

Proclaim His power, His Name confess,
Within the city of our God,
Upon His mount of holiness.

Gives joy to people in all lands;
The city of the mighty King
In majesty securely stands.

Our God has made His presence known,
And hostile kings, in sudden fear,
Have fled as ships by tempests blown.

What oft our fathers told before,
That God Who in His Zion dwells
Will keep her safely evermore. Topics: The Church on Earth; Jerusalem; Love for the Church; Reformation Day; Security Scripture: Psalm 48 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN'S HIGHLANDS

A Solis Ortus Cardine
Author: Caelius Sedulius Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14233 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A solis ortus cardine
Adusque terrae limitem
Christum canamus Principem,
Natum Maria Virgine.
2 Beatus auctor saeculi
Servile corpus induit,
Ut carne carnem liberans
Non perderet quod condidit.
3 Clausae parentis viscera
Caelestis intrat gratia;
Venter puellae baiulat
Secreta quae non noverat.
4 Domus pudici pectoris
Templum repente fit Dei;
Intacta nesciens virum
Verbo concepit Filium.
5 Enixa est puerpera
Quem Gabriel praedixerat,
Quem matris alvo gestiens
Clausus Ioannes senserat.
6 Feno iacere pertulit,
Praesepe non abhorruit,
Parvoque lacte pastus est
Per quem nec ales esurit.
7 Gaudet chorus caelestium
Et Angeli canunt Deum,
Palamque fit pastoribus
Pastor, Creator omnium.
8 Iesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna saecula. Languages: Latin Tune Title: ST. JOHN'S HIGHLANDS
A Solis Ortus Cardine
Let Mortal Tongues Attempt To Sing
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10491 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let mortal tongues attempt to sing,
The wars of Heav’n, when Michael stood
Chief general of th’eternal King,
And fought the battles of our God.
2 Against the dragon and his host
The armies of the Lord prevail;
In vain they rage, in vain they boast,
Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.
3 Down to the earth was Satan thrown,
Down to the earth his legions fell;
Then was the trump of triumph blown,
And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.
4 Now is the hour of darkness past,
Christ has assumed His reigning power;
Behold the great accuser cast
Down from the skies, to rise no more.
5 ’Twas by Thy blood, immortal Lamb,
Thine armies trod the tempter down;
’Twas by Thy Word and powerful name
They gained the battle and renown.
6 Rejoice, ye heav’ns; let every star
Shine with new glories round the sky;
Saints, while ye sing the heav’nly war,
Raise your Deliverer’s name on high.

Let Mortal Tongues Attempt To Sing
Come, Weary Souls With Sin Distressed
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9480 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, weary souls with sin distressed,
The Savior offers heavenly rest;
The kind, the gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Oppressed with guilt, a painful load,
O come, and spread your woes abroad;
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
3 Here mercy’s boundless ocean flows
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace—
How rich the gift! how free the grace!
4 Lord, we accept with thankful heart,
The hope Thy gracious words impart;
We come with trembling, but rejoice,
And bless the kind inviting voice.
5 Dear Savior, let Thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove,
And sweetly influence every beast,
And guide us to eternal rest.

Come, Weary Souls With Sin Distressed
Anonymous
Composer of "ST. JOHN'S HIGHLANDS" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Sedulius
400 - 499 Person Name: Caelius Sedulius Author of "From Lands That See the Sun Arise" in The Cyber Hymnal Sedulius, Coelius. The known facts concerning this poet, as contained in his two letters to Macedonius, are, that in early life, he devoted himself to heathen literature; that comparatively late in life he was converted to Christianity; and that amongst his friends were Gallieanus and Perpetua. The place of his birth is generally believed to have been Rome; and the date when he flourished 450. For this date the evidence is, that he referred to the Commentaries of Jerome, who died 420; is praised by Cassiodorus, who d. 575, and by Gelasius, who was pope from 492 to 496. His works were collected, after his death, by Asterius, who was consul in 494. They are (1) Carmen Paschale, a poem which treats of the whole Gospel story; (2) Opus Paschale, a prose rendering of the former; (3) Elegia, a poem, of 110 lines, on the same subject as the Carmen; (4) Veteris et Novi Testamenti Collatio; and (5) the hymn, "A solis ortus cardine". Areval(1794) quotes 16 manuscripts of Sedulius's work, ranging in date from the 7th to the 16th century. The best edition of his Opera is that by Dr. J. Huemer, pulished. at Vienna in 1885. Areval's text is printed in Migne's Patrology: Series Latina vol. xix. This Sedulius must not be confounded with the Irish, or with the Scottish Sedulius, as is sometimes done.

Small Church Music
Editors: Charles Wesley Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
