Beautiful Savior
Author: Joseph A. Seiss, 1823-1904 Meter: 5.5.7.5.5.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Savior! King of creation!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Truly I'd love thee, truly I'd serve thee,
Light of my soul, my joy, my crown.
2 Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands,
robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer;
he makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight,
bright the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels in the sky.
4 Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine!
Used With Tune: ST. ELIZABETH Text Sources: Gesangbuch, Münster, 1677

When Morning Gilds the Sky
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.6 D Appears in 724 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the sky,
our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In all our work and prayer
we ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
2 To God, the Word on high,
the hosts of angels cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let mortals too upraise
their voice in hymns of praise:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
3 Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Let air and sea and sky
from depth to height reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
4 Be this, when day is past,
of all our thoughts the last:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
5 Then let us join to sing
to Christ, our loving King:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this the eternal song
through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

When Morning Gilds the Sky
The Church of Christ, in Every Age
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Church Mission in the World Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ in every age
beset by change, but Spirit led,
Must claim and test its heritage
and keep on rising from the dead.
2 Across the world, across the street,
the victims of injustice cry
For shelter and for bread to eat,
and never live before they die.
3 Then let the servant church arise,
a caring church that longs to be
A partner in Christ's sacrifice,
and clothed in Christ's humanity.

Come, You Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 752 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest home;
all is safely gathered in
ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
for our needs to be supplied;
come, with all his people come,
raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto his praise to yield;
wheat and weeds together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown:
first the blade and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
and shall take his harvest home;
he himself in that great day
all offense shall take away,
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to your final harvest home;
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin
there, forever purified,
in your presence to abide;
come, with all your angels come,
raise the glorious harvest home.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,383 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone;
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart;
rise to all eternity. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Franck Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me;
long my heart hath panted,
till it well-nigh fainted,
thirsting after thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide thee,
ask for naught beside thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear;
sin and hell in conflict fell
with their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in:
those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er we here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET
