Once He Came in Blessing

Author: Jan Roh; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Once he came in blessing all our sins redressing, came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; bore the cross to save us, hope and freedom gave us. 2 Still he comes within us, still his voice would win us from the sins that hurt us; would to truth convert us from our foolish error ere he comes in terror. 3 Thus if we have known him, not ashamed to own him, nor have spurned him coldly, but will trust him boldly, he will then receive us, heal us, and forgive us. 4 Those who then are loyal find a welcome royal. Come then, O Lord Jesus, from our sins release us; let us here confess you till in heav'n we bless you. Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Used With Tune: AVE HIERARCHIA

Fear not, O little flock, the foe

Author: Johann Michael Altenburg, 1584-1640; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Conflict with Sin Lyrics: 1 Fear not, O little flock, the foe Who madly seeks your overthrow; Dread not his rage and pow'r: What though your courage sometimes faints, His seeming triumph o'er God's saints Lasts but a little hour. 2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs To him who can avenge your wrongs; Leave it to him, our Lord: Though hidden yet from all our eyes, He sees the Gideon who shall rise To save us and his Word. 3 As true as God's own Word is true, Nor earth nor hell with all their crew Against us shall prevail. A jest and byword are they grown; God is with us, we are his own; Our vict'ry cannot fail. 4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our pray'r; Great Captain, now thine arm make bare, Fight for us once again; So shall thy saints and martyrs raise A mighty chorus to thy praise, World without end. Amen. Amen. Scripture: Luke 12:32 Used With Tune: JEHOVAH NISSI

Great God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Sin Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here, as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own, not through some merit, right or claim, but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new. Scripture: Deuteronomy 9:5-6 Used With Tune: RYBURN

The Obligations of Grace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Sin Hindrance to Communion with God First Line: O all ye peoples, bless our God Lyrics: 1 O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life And steadfast makes our ways. Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Thro' pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Used With Tune: ANCYRA
