The Exaltation of Christ
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Exaltation of the Prince of Peace: The Saviour of the World First Line: Now let us raise our cheerful strains Lyrics: 1 Now let us raise our chearful strains,
And join the blissful choir above;
There our exalted Saviour reigns,
And there they sing his wond'rous love.
2 While seraphs tune th'immortal song;
O may we feel the sacred flame;
And ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue
Adore the Saviour's glorious name.
3 Jesus, who once upon the tree
In agonizing pains expir'd;
Who di'd for rebels—yes 'tis he!
How bright! how lovely! how admir'd!
4 Jesus who di'd that we might live,
Di'd in the wretched traitor's place;—
O what returns can mortals give,
For such immeasurable grace!
5 Were universal nature ours,
And art with all her boasted store;
Nature and art with all their pow'rs,
Would still confess the offerer poor!
6 Yet tho' for bounty so divine!
We ne'er can equal honors raise,
Jesus, may all our hearts be thine,
And all our tongues proclaim thy praise.
Scripture: Isaiah 52:13
The Exaltation of Christ
Ye saints, proclaim abroad
Author: Ryland Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Incarnate Saviour Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad
The honors of your King;
To Jesus, your incarnate God,
Your songs of praises sing.
2 Not angels round the throne
Of majesty above,
Are half so much obliged as we,
To our Immanuel's love.
3 They never sunk so low;
They are not raised so high;
They never knew such depths of woe,
Such heights of majesty.
4 The Saviour did not join
Their nature to his own;
For them he shed no blood divine,
Nor breathed a single groan.
5 May we with angels vie
The Saviour to adore;
Our depths are greater far than theirs,
Oh, be our praises more.
Scripture: Isaiah 51:3
Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Jesus Christ the Lord is born
O Christ, the Master Carpenter
Author: David Mowbray (born 1938); H. Pink Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: God, Saviour Suffering and Dying Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
high on a cross you died;
a wooden cross, with iron nails,
a spear thrust in your side.
2 O Christ, upon that Friday cross
your work on earth was done;
yet, truly, in my life today
your work has just begun.
3 O Christ, take up your workman's tools
and shape my life anew,
that I who now appear rough-hewn
may be restored by you.
4 O Christ, the Master Carpenter,
let beauty gently shine
within the workshop of my life —
the praise be yours, not mine. Used With Tune: ALBANO
O Christ, the Master Carpenter
The Mercy of God Besought
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christ The Saviour First Line: Thy tender mercies, O my Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy tender mercies, O my Lord,
Withhold not I implore;
But let Thy kindness and Thy truth
Preserve me evermore.
For countless ills have compassed me,
My sinful deeds arise;
Yea, they have overtaken me;
I dare not raise my eyes.
2 My sins are more than I can count,
My heart has failed for grief;
Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me,
O haste to my relief.
Be those who seek to hurt my soul
Dismayed and put to flight,
And they themselves be put to shame
Who in my woe delight.
3 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice,
Yea, glad in Thee abide.
And, loving Thy salvation, say,
The Lord be magnified.
My lowly state and bitter need
The Lord has not forgot;
Thou art my Saviour and my help,
Come, Lord, and tarry not.
Scripture: Psalm 40 Used With Tune: RUTH
The Mercy of God Besought
Redemption and Grateful Love
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Christ The Saviour First Line: I love the Lord, for my request Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, for my request
And humble plea He makes His care;
In Him through life my faith shall rest,
for He both hears and answers prayer.
2 Brought nigh to death and full of grief,
The Lord's salvation I besought;
He heard my cry, He sent relief,
My soul from depths of woe He brought.
3 Most kind and righteous is the Lord,
Our God is merciful indeed,
Delighting ever to afford
His help to me in time of need.
4 Return unto thy rest, my soul,
The Lord has richly dealt with thee,
Delivered thee from death's control,
From sin and sorrow set thee free.
5 Since He has freed my eyes from tears
And kept my feet from evil ways,
Redeemed from life's distressing fears,
With Him I walk, and Him I praise.
6 In my affliction and my pain,
When fears alarmed and hopes deceived,
I found all human helpers vain,
But in the Lord my soul believed. Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: CANONBURY
Redemption and Grateful Love
"Jesus only"
Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 1,074 hymnals Topics: Love For the Saviour; Love For the Saviour First Line: Jesus, the very thought of thee Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee,
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far thy face to see
And in thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart!
O Joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah! this,
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
As thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
And through eternity.
"Jesus only"
"Immanuel"
Author: John Newton Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Love For the Saviour; Love For the Saviour First Line: Sweeter sounds than music knows Lyrics: 1 Sweeter sounds than music knows
Charm me in Immanuel's name;
All her hopes my spirt owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.
2 When he came, the angels sung,
"Glory be to God on high:"
Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room,
And canst thou, my tongue, be still!
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.
5 O my Saviour! Shield and Sun,
Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend
Every precious name in one!
I will love thee without end.
"Immanuel"
