Hushed Was the Evening Hymn
My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, ca. 1625-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I, that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
2 He came from his blest throne,
salvation to bestow;
but men cared not, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed,
who at my need his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing;
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!” is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! Yet all his deeds
their hatred feeds; they 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord sent away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet willing he to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav'n was his home,
but mine the tomb wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend.

Lord of the worlds above
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 502 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples, are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; and happy they
That love the way to Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat, when God, our King,
Shall thither bring our willing feet!
4 God is our Sun and Shield,
Our Light and our Defense;
With gifts His hands are filled:
We draw our blessings thence.
Thrice happy he, O God of Hosts,
Whose spirit trusts alone in Thee!
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Opening; Aspiration; Opening of Service; Processionals; Trust and Confidence; Worship Opening Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

Thou God of truth and love
By Whom Was David Taught?
Author: William Cowper Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: By whom was David taught Lyrics: 1. By whom was David taught
To aim the deadly blow,
When he Goliath fought,
And laid the Gittite low?
Nor sword nor spear the stripling took,
But chose a pebble from the brook.
2. ’Twas Israel’s God and King
Who sent him to the fight;
Who gave him strength to fling,
And skill to aim aright.
Ye feeble saints, your strength endures,
Because young David’s God is yours.
3. Who ordered Gideon forth,
To storm th’invaders’ camp
With arms of little worth,
A pitcher and a lamp?
The trumpets made His coming known
And all the host was overthrown.
4. Oh! I have seen the day,
When with a single word,
God helping me to say,
My trust is in the Lord,
My soul hath quelled a thousand foes
Fearless of all that could oppose.
5. But unbelief, self will,
Self righteousness, and pride,
How often do they steal
My weapon from my side!
Yet David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend,
Will help His servant to the end. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 17

Author: W. Hurn Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Arise, O Lord, and shine
In all Thy saving might,
And prosper each design
To spread Thy glorious light:
Let healing streams of mercy flow,
That all the earth Thy truth may know.
2. Oh, bring the nations near,
That they may sing Thy praise;
Let all the people hear
And learn Thy holy ways:
Reign, mighty God, assert Thy cause,
And govern by Thy righteous laws.
3. Put forth Thy glorious power:
The nations then shall see,
And earth present her store,
In converts born to Thee:
God, our own God, His Church shall bless,
And earth be filled with righteousness.
Amen.

Great King of Glory
Ye Tribes Of Adam, Join
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye tribes of Adam, join
With Heav’n, and earth, and seas,
And offer notes divine
To your creator’s praise:
Ye holy throng of angels bright,
In worlds of light, begin the song.
2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your maker’s praise,
With stars of twinkling light:
His power declare, ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly in empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By His supreme command:
He spake the word, and all their frame
From nothing came, to praise the Lord.
4 He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each His word fulfills
While time and nature last:
In different ways His works proclaim
His wondrous name, and speak His praise.
5 Let all the earth-born race,
And monsters of the deep
The fish that cleave the seas,
Or in their bosom sleep;
From sea and shore their tribute pay,
And still display their maker’s power.
6 Ye vapors, hail, and snow,
Praise ye th’almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow,
To execute His word:
When lightnings shine, or thunders roar,
Let earth adore His hand divine.
7 Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size,
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame, birds, flies, and worms,
In various forms, exalt His name.
8 Ye kings and judges, fear
The Lord, the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heav’nly honors sing;
Nor let the dream of power and state
Make you forget His power supreme.
9 Virgins and youths, engage
To sound His praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as He reigns His name be sung
By every tongue in endless strains.
10 Let all the nations fear
The God that rules above;
He brings His people near,
And makes them taste His love:
While earth and sky attempt His praise,
His saints shall raise His honors high. Used With Tune: LENOX Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Come, My Fond Fluttering Heart
Author: Jane Taylor Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals First Line: Come, my fond flutt'ring heart Lyrics: 1. Come, my fond flutt'ring heart;
Come, struggle to be free;
You and the world must part,
However hard it be.
My trembling spirit owns it just
But still lies cleaving to the dust.
2. O tempting sweets, forbear;
O dearest idols, fall;
My love you must not share;
Jesus shall have it all.
Though painful and acute the smart,
His love can heal the bleeding heart.
3. O fair, enchanting throng!
O golden dreams, adieu!
Earth has prevailed too long;
Too long I've cherished you;
Aid me, dear Savior, set me free;
My all I will resign to thee.
4. Oh, may I feel your worth
And let no idol dare,
No vanity of Earth
With you, my Lord, compare;
Now bid all earthly joys depart,
And reign unrivaled in my heart. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 13 Scripture: Luke 12:15 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Ye Waiting Souls, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ye waiting souls, arise,
With all the dead, awake!
Unto salvation wise,
Oil in your vessels take;
Upstarting at the midnight cry,
Behold, the heavenly Bridegroom nigh!
2. He comes, He comes to call
The nations to His bar,
And take to glory all
Who meet for glory are;
Made ready for your full reward,
Go forth with joy to meet your Lord.
3. Go, meet Him in the sky,
Your everlasting friend;
Your head to glorify,
With all His saints ascend;
Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace
To see, without a veil, His face.
4. The everlasting doors
Shall soon the saints receive,
With seraphs, thrones, and powers,
In glorious joy to live;
Far from a world of grief and sin,
With God eternally shut in.
5. Then let us wait to hear
The trumpet’s welcome sound;
To see our Lord appear,
May we be watching found;
And when Thou dost the heavens bow,
Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now. Used With Tune: ZEBULON Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
