Wisdom from on High Is Dawning

Author: Adam Michael Wood Hymnal: Voices Together #238 (2020) Meter: Irregular Topics: Darkness and Light Lyrics: 1 Wisdom from on high is dawning. Even now a golden ray shines into a world of shadows from the realms of endless day. Hidden womb who birthed the heavens in the womb now hides away. 2 In her heart the joy of heaven, in her hands the poor of earth, on her back all human sorrow, in her laugh all human mirth. God most human, God most holy, God incarnate comes to birth. 3 All creation stands in wonder as her glory fills the sky. Down in adoration falling, we her children raise the cry: She who is and was and evermore shall be, alleluia! God most high! Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Tune Title: PICARDY

Bless'd be the everlasting God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #239 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hope in darkness Lyrics: Blest be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy praised, His majesty adored. When from the dead he raised his Son, And called him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. What though our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust, Yet as the Lord our Savior rose, So all his followers must. There's an inheritance divine Reserved against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled, And cannot waste away. Saints by the power of God are kept Till the salvation come; We walk by faith as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5 Languages: English

Pardoning Grace

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #243 (1740) Topics: Patience in darkness First Line: From deep Distress and trouble Thoughts Lyrics: 1 From deep Distress and troubled Thoughts. To thee, my GOD, I rais'd my Cries; If thou severely mark our Faults, No flesh can stand before thine Eyes. 2 But Thou hast built thy Throne of Grace Free to dispense thy Pardons there, That Sinners may approach thy Face, And hope and love, as well as fear. 3 As the benighted Pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for breaking Day, So waits my Soul before thy Gate; When will my GOD his Face display? 4 My Trust is fix'd upon thy Word, Nor shall I trust thy Word in vain; Let mourning Souls address the Lord, And find Relief from all their Pain. 5 Great is his Love, and large his Grace, Through the Redemption of his Son; He turns our Feet from sinful Ways, And pardons what our Hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English
