How shall I sing that majesty
Author: John Mason, c. 1645-1694 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty
Which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie;
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
Thousands of thousands stand around
Thy throne, O God most high;
Ten thousand times ten thousand sound
Thy praise; but who am I?
2 Thy brightness unto them appears,
Whilst I thy footsteps trace;
A sound of God comes to my ears,
But they behold thy face.
They sing because thou art their Sun;
Lord, send a beam on me;
For where heaven is but once begun
There alleluyas be.
3 Enlighten with faith’s light my heart,
Inflame it with love’s fire;
Then shall I sing and bear a part
With that celestial choir.
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,
With all my fire and light;
Yet when thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
4 How great a being, Lord, is thine,
Which doth all beings keep!
Thy knowledge is the only line
To sound so vast a deep.
Thou art a sea without a shore,
A sun without a sphere;
Thy time is now and evermore,
Thy place is everywhere. Topics: Trinity Sunday Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY

When Rising from the Bed of Death
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 258 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
2. If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought;
3. When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
4. But Thou hast told the troubled mind
Who does her sins lament,
The timely tribute of her tears
Shall endless woe prevent.
5. Then see the sorrow of my heart,
Ere yet it be too late;
And hear my Savior’s dying groans,
To give those sorrows weight.
6. For never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows Thine only Son has died
To make her pardon sure. Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY Text Sources: The Spectator, October 18, 1712, number 513
When Rising from the Bed of Death
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,224 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found him in a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one;
stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk
till trav'ling days are done. Topics: Affirmation of Baptism; Comfort, Rest; Grace, Faith; Invitation; Lent; Affirmation of Baptism; Comfort, Rest; Grace, Faith; Invitation; Lent; Light Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY

O God, Whose Will Is Life
The one who longs to make us whole
Author: Edith Sinclair Downing (b. 1922) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The one who longs to make us whole
is waiting to embrace
our broken lives, so we can know
the power of healing grace.
God's love surrounds our suffering,
and keeps us through the night;
God helps us bear our deep despair
till we see morning light.
2 The one who saves us from ourselves
is waiting to release
our hearts from chains of self-reproach
and failure to find peace.
When harmful habits leave us bruised,
distraught by inner pain,
God comes to us through trusted friends,
and helps us hope again.
3 The one who understands our need
accepts us as we are;
and, like a loved one, welcomes us
when we have wandered far.
God never says we come too late
to be forgiven, free,
but promises we can become
the self we're meant to be. Topics: The Church Celebrates Wholenss and Healing; Despair and Trouble; God Love of; Suffering Scripture: Acts 10:38 Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY

How Shallow Former Shadows
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How shallow former shadows seem Lyrics: 1 How shallow former shadows seem beside this great reverse,
as darkness swallows up the light of all the universe.
Creation shivers at the shock, the temple rends its veil.
A pallid stillness stifles time and nature's motions fail.
2 This is no midday fantasy, no flight of fevered brain.
With vengeance awful, grim, and real, chaos is come again.
The hands that formed us from the soil are nailed upon the cross.
The Word that gave us life and breath expires in utter loss.
3 Yet deep within this darkness lives a Love so fierce and free,
that arcs all voids and—risk supreme!—embraces agony.
Its perfect testament is etched in iron, blood, and wood.
With awe we glimpse its true import, and dare to call it good. Topics: God Love of Scripture: Matthew 27:45-54 Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY Text Sources: A Year of Grace
