Jesus Calls Us o'er the Tumult

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 988 hymnals First Line: Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea; day by day His sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me." Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more." 2 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these." Jesus calls us-- by Thy mercies, Savior, may we hear Thy call; give our hearts to Thine obedience, serve and love Thee best of all. Topics: Submission and Profession Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

Sing we of the blessed Mother

Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing we of the blessèd Mother who received the angel's word, and obedient to his summons bore in love the infant Lord; sing we of the joys of Mary at whose breast that child was fed who is Son of God eternal and the everlasting Bread. 2 Sing we, too, of Mary's sorrows, of the sword that pierced her through, when beneath the cross of Jesus she his weight of suffering knew, looked upon her Son and Saviour reigning high on Calvary's tree, saw the price of man's redemption paid to set the sinner free. 3 Sing again the joys of Mary when she saw the risen Lord, and in prayer with Christ's apostles, waited on his promised word: from on high the blazing glory of the Spirit's presence came, heavenly breath of God's own being, manifest through wind and flame. 4 Sing the chiefest joy of Mary when on earth her work was done, and the Lord of all creation brought her to his heavenly home: Virgin Mother, Mary blessèd, raised on high and crowned with grace, may your Son, the world's redeemer, grant us all to see his face.

[Refrain] 3 I was bruised, but Jesus healed me, Faint was I from many a fall, Sight was gone, and fears possessed me, But He freed me from them all. [Refrain] 4 Days of darkness still come o’er me, Sorrow’s path I often tread, But His presence still is with me; By His guiding hand I’m led.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna Lyrics: 1. Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder: All creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, See, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding Bring a taste of love unknown. 2. Christ is risen! Raise your spirits From the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, Not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3. Christ is risen! Earth and heaven Nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation Where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: Christ is risen! Get you gone! God the First and Last is with us, Sing Hosanna, everyone!

Joy, Thou Goddess

Author: Friedrich Schiller, 1759-1805 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal Lyrics: 2 Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal, offspring of Elysium, mad with rapture, to the portal of thy holy fane we come! Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever, but thy magic joins again; humankind is one forever ‘neath thy mild and gentle reign. 2 Joy, in nature’s wide dominion, mightiest cause of all is found; and ‘tis joy that moves the pinion, when the wheel of time goes round; from the bud she lures the flower, suns from out their orbs of light; distant spheres obey her power, far beyond all mortal sight. --- GERMAN - 1 Freude, schóner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, wir betreten feuertrunken, himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Deine Zauber binden wieder, was die Mode streng geteilt, alle Menschen werden Brúder, wo dein sanfter Flúgel weilt. 2 Freude heiefst die starke Feder in der ewigen Natur. Freude, Freude treibt die Ráder in der grossen Weltenuhr. Blumen lockt sie ausden Keimen, Sonnen aus dem Firmament, Spháren rollt sie in den Raumen, die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt.
