Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Author: James E. Seddon, 1915-1983 Hymnal: Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) #415 (2019) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Church of God, elect and glorious,
holy nation, chosen race;
called as God's own special people,
royal priests and heirs of grace;
know the purpose of your calling,
show to all God's mighty deeds;
tell of love that knows no limits,
grace which meets all human needs.
2 God has called you out of darkness
into his most marv'lous light,
brought his truth to life within you,
turned your blindness into sight.
Let your light so shine around you
that God's name is glorified;
and all find fresh hope and purpose
in Christ Jesus crucified.
3 Once you were an alien people,
strangers to God's heart of love,
but he brought you home in mercy,
citizens of heav'n above.
Let his love flow out to others,
let them feel the Father's care;
that they too may know his welcome
and his countless blessings share.
4 Church of God, elect and holy,
be the people he intends;
strong in faith and swift to answer
each command your master sends:
royal priests, fulfill your calling
through your sacrifice and prayer;
give your lives in joyful service,
sing his praise, his love declare. Topics: General Music for Worship Church Scripture: 1 Peter 2 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
Church of God, Elect and Glorious
Not alone for mighty empire
Author: Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal #416 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the Spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The Nation; Brotherhood; Country, our; Nation, The; Thanksgiving Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness
Author: J. C. Jacobi; Paul Gerhardt; Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: The Worshipbook #419 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness;
Pierce the clouds of nature's night;
Come, great source of joy and gladness,
Breathe your life, and spread your light.
From the height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
2 Author of the new creation,
Come with blessing and with power.
Make our hearts your habitation;
On our souls your graces shower.
Hear, O hear our supplication,
Blessed Spirit, God of peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With the fullness of your grace.
Amen. Topics: Acts of the Church Witness to the Resurrection—Funeral; Christian Year Ascension; Christian Year Pentecost Scripture: John 16:13 Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

While the billows o'er me roll,
even when my heart is breaking,
He, my comfort, helps my soul. [Refrain]

He has granted me forgiveness,

though the cloud from sight received him,
when the forty days were o'er,
shall our hearts forget his promise,
'I am with you evermore'?

thou on earth our food, our stay;

where the songs of all the sinless
sweep across the crystal sea.

Jesus, I My Cross have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #423 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee.
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my All shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought or hoped or known;
Yet how rich is my condition!
God and heav'n are still mine own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Savior, too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me;
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends may shun me;
Show Thy face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In Thy service, pain is pleasure;
With Thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called Thee Abba, Father!
I have stayed my heart on Thee.
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.
4 Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me,
Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;
Joy to find in every station,
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Savior died to win thee;
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close the earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Scripture: Luke 18:28 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #424 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you
Gladly, freely, of your own.
With the sunshine of your goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by you, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor you have given
To our humblest charity
In your own mysterious sentence,
"You have done it all to me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
That you deign for alms to sue,
Saying by your poor and needy,
"Give as I have giv'n to you"?
4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings
Which on ev'ry hand we view
Channels are for gifts and off'rings
Due by solemn right to you;
Right of which we may not rob you,
Debt we may not choose but pay,
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day.
4 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With Your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith to trust you boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on you:
But, oh, best of all your graces,
With your love our love renew. Topics: Society; Lent 4 (Year A); Justification; Society Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Join the chant victorious.

You are Lord of lords alone.
Alleluia! Born of Mary,
Earth your footstool, heav'n your throne:
