In Heavenly Love Abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: Worship in Song #200 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Darkness First Line: In heavenly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be over me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure; My path to life is free, My Savior has my treasure, And he will walk with me. Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #204 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is amazed. In the desert all surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna, everyone! Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

Questionings and Comfort

Hymnal: The Psalter #210 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Spiritual Darkness First Line: To God will I direct my prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness, Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Tho' I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my tho'ts shall dwell. Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English Tune Title: FILLMORE

Oh, How Shall I Receive Thee

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Arthur T. Russell Hymnal: Voices Together #215 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Darkness and Light Lyrics: 1 Oh, how shall I receive thee, how meet thee on thy way, bless’d hope of ev’ry nation, my soul’s delight and stay? O Jesus, Jesus, give me now by thine own pure light to know whate’er is pleasing and welcome in thy sight. 2 Love caused thine incarnation; Love brought thee here to me. Thy thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, that led thee to embrace, in love, all love excelling, our troubled human race. 3 Thou comest, Christ, with gladness, in mercy and goodwill, to bring an end to sadness and bid our fears be still. We welcome thee, our Savior; come gather us to thee, that in thy light eternal our joyous home may be. Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Tune Title: ST. THEODULPH (VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN)

At the Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:5-11)

Author: Caroline M. Noel Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #220 (2013) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Powers of Darkness First Line: At the name of Jesus Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now. Scripture: Psalm 33:6-9 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON
