Lead us from night to never-ending day.
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand
Praise
Author: Robinson Meter: Irregular Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 44:8 First Line: Mighty God, while angels bless thee Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
May an infant lisp thy name?
Lord of men, as well as angels,
Thou art ev'ry creature’s theme.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
2 Lord of ev'ry land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days;
Sounded through the wide creation
Be thy just and lawful praise:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
3 For the grandeur of thy nature
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought,
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
4 For thy providence that governs
Thro' thine empire's wide domain;
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow,
blessed be thy gentle reign.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
5 But thy rich, thy free redemption,
Dark thro' brightness all along;
Thought is poor, and poor expression,
Who dare sing that awful song?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
6 Brightness of thy Father’s glory,
Shall thy praise unutter'd lie?
Fly my tongue such guilty silence!
Sing the Lord who came to die.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
7 Did archangels sing thy coming?
Did the shepherds learn their lays?
Shame would cover me ungrateful,
Should my tongue refuse to praise.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
8 From the highest throne in glory,
To the cross of deepest woe;
All to ransom guilty captives,
Flow my praise for ever flow.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
9 Go, return immortal Saviour,
Leave thy footstool, take thy throne;
Thence return, and reign for ever,
Be the kingdom all thine own.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

Praise
In all my vast concerns with thee
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 251 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 44:2 Lyrics: 1 In all my vast concerns with thee,
In vain my soul would try
To shun thy presence, Lord, or flee
The notice of thine eye.
2 Thine all-surrounding sight surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
And secrets of my breast.
3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord,
Before they're formed within;
And ere my lips pronounce the word,
He knows the sense I mean.
4 Oh, wondrous knowledge, deep and high!
Where can a creature hide?
Within thy circling arms I lie,
Enclosed on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still,
And like a bulwark prove,
To guard my soul from every ill,
Secured by sovereign love.

O bind us in that heavenly chain:
give peace, O God, give peace again!

God is a Spirit, just and wise
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 44:21 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise
He sees our inmost mind;
In vain to heaven we raise our cries,
And leave our souls behind.
2 Nothing but truth before his throne
With honor can appear;
The painted hypocrites are known
Through the disguise they wear.
3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies,
Their bended knees the ground;
But God abhors the sacrifice
Where not the heart is found.
4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways,
And make my soul sincere;
Then shall I stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there. Topics: Attributes of God Spirituality; God is a Spirit

Thy kingdom come, O God
Author: Lewis Hensley (1824-1905) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 44:23-26 Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God,
thy rule, O Christ, begin;
break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin.
2 Where is thy reign of peace
and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
and lust, oppression, crime
shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight.
5 Men scorn thy sacred name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 O'er lands both near and far
thick darkness broodeth yet:
arise, O Morning Star,
arise, and never set! Topics: Church Year Advent; Justice; Kingdom of God; Longing; Peace; Sin; The Third Sunday before Lent Year A; Advent Used With Tune: ST CECILIA
