In Silent Pain the Eternal Son

Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In silent pain the eternal Son Hangs derelict and still; In darkened day His work is done, Fulfilled, His Father’s will. Uplifted for the world to see He hangs in strangest victory, For in His body on the tree He carries all our ill. 2 He died that we might die to sin And live for righteousness; The earth is stained, to make us clean And bring us into peace. For peace He came, and met its cost; He gave Himself to save the lost; He loved us to the uttermost And paid for our release. 3 For strife He came, to bring a sword, The truth to end all lies; To rule in us, our patient Lord, Until all evil dies: For in His hand He holds the stars, His voice shall speak to end our wars, And those who love Him see His scars And look into His eyes.

Shine, shine Jerusalem, for Christ Is risen in majesty. Lift up your eyes, look round and see, With radiant faces strong and free, Your children come to find their home For all eternity. 3 Come celebrate the death of death! Come share eternal life! Come leap and praise the living God Who opens Paradise!

Why This Doleful Wail?

Author: Emma F. R. Campbell Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why this doleful wail of sadness Lyrics: 1 Why this doleful wail of sadness, Every year, every year? Undertoning all our gladness, Every year, every year? Why at fleeting years so fretful, Of the dead past so regretful, Of the living now forgetful, Every year, every year? 2 Is not God in wisdom guiding Every year, every year? Though to us His purpose hiding, Every year, every year? Joy there is for every sorrow, For each night a bright tomorrow, From the past fresh strength we borrow, Every year, every year! 3 Faith and hope are growing stronger, Every year, every year. As the trodden way grows longer, Every year, every year. Left behind the paths most dreary, Passed the doubts that vex and weary, Brighter gleams the sunshine cheery, Every year, every year! 4 Fewer cares and lighter burdens, Every year, every year. Brighter hopes and truer guerdons, Every year, every year. Earthly joys may fade forever, Earthly ties to friends may sever, One there is more dear than ever, Every year, every year! 5 And the Father’s house is dearer, Every year, every year. And our lost ones coming nearer, Every year, every year. Less is there below to charm us, Less in growing old to harm us, Less do unknown days alarm us Every year, every year! 6 Let us cease then our repining, Every year, every year. And believe the Love o’ershining, Every year, every year. Nights behind us now forgetting, Onward press without regretting, To the morn that knows no setting, Blest New Year! Blest New Year!

O Love Divine

Author: Clara M. Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O love divine! no soul has e'er Lyrics: 1 O love divine! no soul has e’er Thy wondrous depths explored; O priceless gift! we fain would have Thy riches on us poured. Let mortals join with all their might, Let earth and heaven both unite To sing thy praise both day and night— The half can ne’er be told. 2 O love divine, what treasures yet Within thy coffers lie! The gold and silver of the earth Would not thy riches buy. E’en though the sands upon the shore Of every sea should turn to ore Of choicest metal, ’twere no more Than naught compared to thee. 3 O love divine, in thee our souls Eternal pleasures find, Surpassing all that earth could give, Were all its pow’rs combined. Thy music sweet we love to sing, Our spirits e’er to thee would cling, An off’ring now of praise we bring, In humble sacrifice. 4 O love divine, ’tis wonderful That mortals here below May share thy grace most excellent, Thy wondrous power know! Around our hearts fore’er entwine, And let thy beauties in us shine, That we may be, O love divine, Completely lost in thee.
