O God, You Are My God Alone
Afar in Old Judea
Author: Roy A. Cheville, 1897-1986 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #63 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Seeking Lyrics: 1 Afar in old Judea,
above the Jordan stream,
a heav'nly light descended
on a baptismal scene.
Then came the confirmation
of Jesus, from above,
the sacramental signet;
the Spirit as a dove.
2 In ancient Zarahemla,
above the temple towers,
appeared the Christ of Judah
to crown the watchful hours.
A voice, serene yet piercing
beyond our words to tell,
proclaimed him as the Savior
whom prophets did foretell.
3 Then in a time of searching,
a youth who sought God's way
saw in Palmyra's woodland
a light beyond his day,
and when the vision opened
to him whose sight was dim,
he heard the Father saying,
"This is my Son, hear him!"
4 Today the heav'ns are open
to souls prepared to hear
the wondrous revelation
of Christ, who's ever near.
The Savior of the ages
still lives with us today;
he seeks to help us know him
and leads us in his way.
Scripture: Matthew 3:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
Afar in Old Judea
As With Gladness Men of Old
Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: Voices United #81 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Seeking God Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright,
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your splendour see.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
to that lowly manger bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with eager pace
ever seek your throne of grace.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way;
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright
none shall need created light;
you its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there forever may we sing
hallelujah to our King. Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

The Goodness of God Proved
Hymnal: The Psalter #88 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Seeking God First Line: The Lord I will at all times bless Lyrics: 1 The Lord I will at all times bless,
In praise my mouth employ;
My soul shall in Jehovah boast,
The meek shall hear with joy.
O magnify the Lord with me,
Let us exult His Name;
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
2 We looked to Him and light received,
Ashamed we shall not be;
Our humble cry Jehovah heard,
From trouble set us free.
The angel of the Lord encamps
Around about His own,
Delivers them from all their foes,
Lest they be overthrown.
3 O taste and see that God is good
To all that seek His face;
Yea, blest the man that trust in Him,
Confiding in His grace.
O fear the Lord, all ye His saints;
No want shall bring distress;
The lions young may pine for food,
The saints all good possess.
Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English Tune Title: EUPHEMIA

My heart would seek Thy face,
Within Thy holy house once more
To see Thy glorious grace.
Apart from Thee I long and thirst,
And nought can satisfy;
I wander in a desert land
Where all the streams are dry.
2 The loving-kindness of my God
Is more than life to me;
So I will bless Thee while I live
And lift my prayer to Thee.
In Thee my soul is satisfied,
My darkness turns to light,
And joyful meditations fill
The watches of the night.
3 My Saviour, 'neath Thy shelt'ring wings
My soul delights to dwell;
Still closer to Thy side I press,
For near Thee all is well.
My soul shall conquer ev'ry foe,
Upholden by Thy hand;
Thy people shall rejoice in God,
Thy saints in glory stand. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: THE GREEN HILL

Hymnal: The Psalter #164 (1912) Topics: Seeking God First Line: Thou art my God, O God of grace Lyrics: 1 Thou art my God, O God of grace,
And earnestly I seek Thy face,
My heart cries out for Thee;
My spirit thirsts Thy grace to taste,
An exile in this desert waste
In which no waters be,
In which no waters be.
2 I long as in the times of old
Thy pow'r and glory to behold
Within Thy holy place;
Because Thy tender love I see
More precious far than life to me,
My lips shall praise Thy grace,
My lips shall praise Thy grace.
3 Thus will I bless Thee while I live,
And with uplifted hands will give
Praise to Thy holy Name;
When by Thy bounty well supplied,
Then shall my soul be satisfied,
My mouth shall praise proclaim,
My mouth shall praise proclaim.
4 My lips shall in Thy praise delight
When on my bed I rest at night
And meditate on Thee;
Because Thy hand assistance brings,
Beneath the shadow of Thy wings
My heart shall joyful be,
My heart shall joyful be. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English Tune Title: AMERICUS

For Thou art love.

Be praise and worship paid
Through earth abroad;
Thy Name be glorified,
There is none great beside,
Matchless Thy works abide,
For Thou art God.

Thy truth I will pursue,
Teach me to fear;
Give me the single eye
Thy Name to glorify,
O Lord, my God Most High,
With heart sincere.

That bade death’s gloomy fears
No more dismay;
O God, to anger slow,
Save me from every foe,
Thy lovingkindness show,
Thy truth display.

Thy servant’s strength renew,
Deliverance send;
To me Thy goodness show,
Thy comfort, Lord, bestow;
Let those that hate me know
Thou art my Friend. Scripture: Psalm 86 Languages: English Tune Title: MASON
