We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Sing the Faith #2103 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3333 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 shall be. Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known. Yet how rich is my condition! God and Heaven 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 disown 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 set 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; heaven 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 thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! Thus Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt the angels’ cry, Holy, holy, holy blessing Thee, the Lord of Hosts Most High! Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

Hearts To Heaven And Voices Raise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7985 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Alleluia, alleluia! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to Heaven and voices raise: Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He, who on the cross a Victim, for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, Glorious life, and life immortal, on the holy Easter morn. Christ has triumphed, and we conquer by His mighty enterprise: We with Him to life eternal by His resurrection rise. 3 Christ is risen, Christ, the first fruits of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance at His second coming yield: Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave. 4 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory from the brightness of Thy face; That we, with our hearts in Heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with Thee. 5 Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia! to the Savior who has gained the victory; Alleluia! to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity: Alleluia, alleluia! to the Triune Majesty.

King, Messiah, Long Expected

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8066 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 King, Messiah, long expected, Thou art come unto Thine own! Promised seed of the elected, Heir foretold of David’s throne! Long for Thee they watched and hearkened— King and patriarch, priest and seer; Faith waxed cold, and hope was darkened; When men looked not—Thou wert here. 2 In the time and place appointed, When the ordered years had sped, Came the Prince, the true Anointed, To His throne, the manger bed: There the infant King, fulfilling, All things for His people’s sake, Learned today obedience willing, Deigned the covenant seal to take. 3 Surely in that hour of wonder, Faithful Abraham in his rest, Saw the shadows part asunder, Saw Thy dawning, and was blest! Surely then the gracious vision Through Thine unseen kingdoms thrilled; And in Jesu’s circumcision Ages saw their hope fulfilled! 4 Father of the new creation! Prophet of the latter time! Leader of the ransomed nation To the better Canaan’s clime! Though, from Gentile stock arising, Alien branches once were we, Thou hast said, in our baptizing, We are circumcised in Thee. 5 So this day with new thanksgiving Shall Thy faithful seed draw near; So, ’mid prayers for holier living, Praise shall deck our opening year; Praise, because our feast day sees us Built on Thee, the Cornerstone; And the mighty name of Jesus Binds today the world in one.

Holy, Holy, Lord Almighty

Author: Susan Helen Peterson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10380 Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, Lord Almighty, He who was and is to come. Glory, honor, thanks are due Him, He who sits on Heaven’s throne. Worship Him who lives forever; Give Him praise and bless His power. Lord, You are worthy, for You created us; By Your will, we exist each hour. 2 Sing new songs: the Lion of Judah, David’s Root, has won over all. Though a Lamb, Jesus triumphed— Worthy He to open God’s scroll. He was slain, with blood He purchased Nations, empires, peoples and tongues. He has made a kingdom of priests, Serving God on the earth to come. 3 Join the angels in mighty chorus: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power, wealth, and wisdom, Strength and honor," let us proclaim! Every creature in Heav’n, on earth and In the sea, sing now again: "To our great God and to the Lamb Praise and glory, fore’er. Amen!" Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
