O Holy Night!

Author: John S. Dwight, 1813-1893 Meter: Irregular Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Redemption First Line: O holy night! the stars are brightly shining Lyrics: 1 O holy night! the stars are brightly shining; It is the night of the dear Savior's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope--the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine! 2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the Wise Men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our Friend. He knows our need– to our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King, before him lowly bend! Behold your King, before him lowly bend! 3 Truly he taught us to love one another; His law is love and his gospel is peace. Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we; Let all within us praise his holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever! His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim! Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Used With Tune: CANTIQUE DE NOEL

Atonement

Author: Toplady Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Redemption First Line: O thou who didst thy glory leave Lyrics: 1 O thou, who didst thy glory leave, Apostate sinners to retrieve From nature's deadly fall; If thou hast bought me with a price, My sins against me ne'er shall rise, For thou hast borne them all. 2 And wast thou punish'd in my stead? Didst thou without the city bleed To expiate my stains? On earth my God vouchsaf'd to dwell, And made of infinite avail The sufferings of the man. 3 And wast thou for transgressors given? And did th' incarnate King of heaven For us his foes expire? Amaz'd, O earth, the tidings hear! He bore, that we might never bear His Father's righteous ire. 4 Ye Saints, the Man of Sorrows bless, The God, for your unrighteousness Deputed to atone: Praise, 'till with all the ransom'd throng Ye sing the never-ending song, And see him on his throne.

All my hope on God is founded

Author: J. Neander (1650-1680); R. Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: The Promise of Redemption Moses Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded, all my trust he shall renew; he, my guide through changing order, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone, calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil we fashion, tower and temple, fall to dust; but God's power hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 Day by day our mighty giver grants to us his gifts of love; in his will our souls find pleasure, leading to our home above: Love shall stand at his hand, joy shall wait for his command. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done; high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son: Hear Christ's call one and all — we who follow shall not fall.

To a life of love and action Help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead your people into freedom, From despair your world release That, redeemed from war and hatred, All may come and go in peace. Show us how, through care and goodness, Fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, Let it from the earth be banned: Pride of status, race, or schooling, Dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice May we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, creator God, have written Your great name on humankind; For our growing in your likeness Bring the life of Christ to mind, That by our response and service Earth its destiny may find.

Redeeming Love

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Redemption First Line: O! the love of Christ to sinners! Lyrics: 1 O the love of Christ to sinners! Who can make its wonders known? Sin-born slaves, through grace, are winners Of a bright celestial crown; Jesus gives us Endless glory and renown. 2 We, by nature, are disgraceful; Nothing but the filth of hell; All our righteousnesses hateful; Who can half our baseness tell? Satan’s captives, And we loved his service well. 3 Jesus saw us sunk in ruin, And, determined us to save, Shed his blood, and brought us to him; For our life his own he gave; He redeemed us From sin, Satan, and the grave. 4 Endless love he fixed upon us, In eternity that’s past; Nor will ever take it from us; Endless love shall ever last; Love redeemed us, And will ever hold us fast.
