Hymn 132
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:10-13 First Line: O let our lips and lives express Lyrics:
O let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Savior God;
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word.

God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:14 Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people,

Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.

Of our lifelong need of grace;

Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold,
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old;
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work your purpose out:

All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe!

the hour I first believed!

his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,

bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun.

and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
the dear Christ enters in.

descend to us, we pray.
Cast out our sin and enter in;
be born in us today.

the great glad tidings tell;

Alles schläft, einsam wacht,
nur das traute, hoch heilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh,
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

durch der Engel Halleluja,
tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter, ist da,
Christ, der Retter, ist da!
