I waited for the Lord my God
Hymnal: CH4 #30 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord my God,
and patiently did bear;
at length to me he did incline
my voice and cry to hear.
2 He took me from a fearful pit,
and from the miry clay,
and on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.
4 O blessèd are all they whose trust
upon the Lord relies;
respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies. Topics: Music and Song; Salvation and Redemption; Trust Scripture: Psalm 40:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA

Immortal, invisible, God only wise
Author: Walter Chalmers Smith (1824-1908) Hymnal: CH4 #132 (2005) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains, high soaring above
thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight.
All praise we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth thee. Topics: God in mystery; Light; Providence Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DENIO (JOANNA)

The race that long in darkness pined
Hymnal: CH4 #290b (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined

in death’s surrounding night.

him shall the tribes of earth obey,
him all the hosts of heaven.

justice shall guard his throne above,
and peace abound below. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Promise of the Messiah; Jesus Names and images for Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: TIVERTON
The race that long in darkness pined
All is ready for the Feast!
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: CH4 #373 (2005) Meter: 7.7.7 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 All is ready for the Feast!
Every Jew is wondering how
God will liberate them now.
2 Pilate, fearful of revolt
he, at all costs, must avert,
puts the Legion on alert.
3 Listen! Galilean crowds
hail the Man from Nazareth,
Jesus, riding to his death.
4 What authority he wields!
With a whip of cords he clears
temple courts of profiteers!
5 Watched by priests and pharisees,
all he says and all he does
fans the hatred of his foes.
6 Now he gathers those he loves
in a room where bread and wine
turn to sacrament and sign.
7 In that dark betrayal night,
moved by hope, or fear or greed,
Judas sets about his deed.
8 Jesus in the olive grove,
waiting for a traitor's kiss,
rises free from bitterness.
9 As he wakes his comrades up
torches flicker in the glen,
shadows turn to marching men.
10 In that dawn of blows and lies
Church and State conspire to kill,
hang three rebels on a hill.
11 Innocent and guilty drown
in a flood of blood and sweat,
how much darker can it get?
12 How much darker must it be
for a God to see and care
that men perish in despair?
13 It is God himself who dies!
God in man shall set us free,
God as Man - and only he.
14 Let him claim us as his own,
we will serve as best we can
such a God and such a Man!
Final verse:
15 What does our salvation cost?
Jesus, we shall never know
all you gave and all we owe. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Languages: English Tune Title: HEILIGER GEIST
All is ready for the Feast!
Here hangs a man discarded
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: CH4 #385 (2005) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 Here hangs a man discarded,
a scarecrow hoisted high,
a nonsense pointing nowhere
to all who hurry by.
2 Can such a clown of sorrows
still bring a useful word
when faith and love seem phantoms
and every hope absurd?
3 Yet here is help and comfort
for lives by comfort bound,
when drums of dazzling progress
give strangely hollow sound:
4 Life, emptied of all meaning,
drained out in bleak distress,
can share in broken silence
our deepest emptiness;
5 And love that freely entered
the pit of life's despair,
can name our hidden darkness
and suffer with us there.
6 Christ, in our darkness risen,
help all who long for light
to hold the hand of promise,
till faith receives its sight. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; Despair and Trouble; Longing Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: SHRUB END
Here hangs a man discarded
At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Hymnal: CH4 #458a (2005) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Tune Key: A Flat Major Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 Brothers, sisters, name him
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath!
He is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshiped,
trusted, and adored.
3 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
let us grace support you
in temptation's hour;
and his will enfold you
in its light and power.
4 In his Father's glory
Christ shall come again,
angel hosts proclaiming
his return to reign.
For all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of Glory now. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Christ Risen Coming Again; Jesus coming again; Jesus Name; Temptation Scripture: John 20:20 Languages: English Tune Title: CUDDESDON
