Matthias
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #175 (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: Why, when our thoughts could turn to thee Lyrics: 1. Why, when our thoughts could turn to thee,
Oh! chosen saint, apostle dear,
Why mingles with the memory
A feeling strange of awful fear?
Because remembrance of His doom
Who lost his place for foulest sin
Across the trembling heart will come,
Till the scared spirit shrinks within.
2. Thus souls have watched the morning light
Break calm along the wild sea shore,
Yet thought upon the fearful night
Of storms and wrecks that went before.
So, conscious of our own heart's stains,
The weak, bad thoughts that in us dwell,
We think on mercy spent in vain,
On the high place from which he fell.
3. Oh! who shall boast the name we bear,
Our privilege of service high,
The saintly commune that we shares,
While still temptation watches nigh?
When one of Christ's own twelve on Earth
Forswore his faith, betrayed his trust,
And gave what whole worlds were not worth
For some few grains of silver dust?
4. How should we watch our hearts, and mark
The first small covetous desire,
And quench the little, growing spark,
That else may kindle endless fire!
And still thy name shall hope renew
Who filled so well the traitor's place,
Thy faith held on, firm, constant, true;
We too in Christ, have strength and grace. Topics: Resurrection Scripture: Acts 1:12-26 Languages: English Tune Title: YE BANKS AND BRAES

When Eyes That We Once Knew as Keen
Author: John Core, 1951- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #202 (2013) Lyrics: 1 When eyes that we once knew as keen,
alive to every wondrous sight,
turn inward toward some land unseen
of hidden seas and unknown heights,
grant us to look upon the face
and find the heart to take the loss,
the patience and a touch of grace
to bear this bitter, ling'ring cross.
2 When murmurs come where speech had been,
the laughter gone, the well-turned phrase,
the voice that we delighted in,
the pleasant chats of other days–
though these are stilled, may we recall
the hours we spent, the joy we knew,
the words we shared before this wall
of silence and of sorrow grew.
3 These hands that flitted over cloth,
or roughened while the wood grew smooth,
that dug the garden, stirred the broth,
sensed when to prod and how to soothe—
God, as we hold now taskless hands,
and help with clothing, care, and food,
we pray the soul may understand
the things we do in gratitude.
4 O God, this mind we thought so vast
contracts, and simple thoughts go wrong,
yet still it treasures music past:
a wisp of words, a snatch of song.
Within the burdens we must bear
your grace still shines in such small things.
We trust all to your loving care,
rejoicing that the soul still sings. Topics: Aging; Care; Change; Comfort; Compassion; Cross; Lament; Mourning; Renewal; Suffering; Vulnerable Scripture: Psalm 38:9-11 Languages: English Tune Title: YE BANKS AND BRAES

Praise be to Christ in whom we see
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #220 (1987) Lyrics: 1 Praise be to Christ in whom we see
the image of the Father shown,
the first-born Son revealed and known,
the truth and grace of deity;
through whom creation came to birth,
whose fingers set the stars in place,
the unseen powers, and this small earth,
the furthest bounds of time and space.
2 Praise be to him whose sovereign sway
and will upholds creation's plan;
who is, before all worlds began
and when our world has passed away:
Lord of the church, its life and head,
redemption's price and source and theme,
alive, the first-born from the dead,
to reign as all-in-all supreme.
3 Praise be to him who, Lord most high,
the fullness of the Godhead shares;
and yet our human nature bears,
who came as man to bleed and die:
and from his cross there flows our peace
who chose for us the path he trod,
that so might sins and sorrows cease
and all be reconciled to God. Topics: God, Saviour Praised and Worshipped; The Creation; Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross; The Ascension of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: YE BANKS AND BRAES

All Things Are Thine
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #304 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: All things are thine; no gift have we Lyrics: 1 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer thee;
and so with grateful hearts today
thine own before thy feet we lay.
Thy will was informed builders' thought;
thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
through mortal motive, scheme, and plan,
thy wise eternal purpose ran.
2 No lack thy perfect fullness knew;
for human needs and longings grew
this house of prayer, this home of rest,
where grace is shared and truth addressed.
In weakness and in want, we call
on thee for whom the heavens are small;
thy glory is thy children's good,
thy joy fulfilled in servanthood.
3 All things are thine; no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer thee;
and so with grateful hearts today
thine own before thy feet we lay.
Come now and deign these walls to bless;
fill with thy love their emptiness;
and let their door a gateway be
to lead us from ourselves to thee. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30 Languages: English Tune Title: YE BANKS AND BRAES (CANDLER)
