Jesus' Hands Were Kind Hands
Author: Margaret Cropper Hymnal: Voices United #570 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Epiphany 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 Jesus' hands were kind hands,
doing good to all,
healing pain and sickness,
blessing children small,
washing tired feet, and
saving those who fall;
Jesus' hands were kind hands,
doing good to all.
2 Take my hands, O Jesus,
let them work for you,
make them strong and gentle,
kind in all I do;
let me watch you, Jesus,
till I'm gentle too,
till my hands are kind hands,
quick to work for you. Languages: English Tune Title: AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE
Jesus' Hands Were Kind Hands
Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: J. H. Newman (1801-1890) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #140b (1987) Topics: Epiphany 5, Revelation The Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways!
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
4 And that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine:
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 O generous love! that he who came
as man to smite our foe,
the double agony for us
as man should undergo:
6 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
7 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways! Languages: English Tune Title: GERONTIUS

O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: Voices United #709 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Epiphany 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, now from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair cry,
"Christ hath died in vain!"
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there! Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

King of the universe, Lord of the ages
Author: Michael Saward (born 1932) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #22 (1987) Meter: 11.10.12.10 Topics: Epiphany 5, Revelation The Wisdom of God Lyrics: 1 King of the universe, Lord of the ages,
maker of all things, sustainer of life;
source of authority, wise and just creator,
hope of the nations: we praise and adore.
2 Powerful in majesty, throned in the heavens —
sun, moon and stars by your word are upheld;
time and eternity bow within your presence,
Lord of the nations: we praise and adore.
3 Wisdom unsearchable, fathomless knowledge
past understanding by our clever brain;
ground of reality, basis of all order,
guide to the nations: we praise and adore.
4 Justice and righteousness, holy, unswerving —
all that is tainted shall burn in your flame;
sword-bearing deity, punisher of evil,
judge of the nations: we praise and adore.
5 Ruler and potentate, sage and lawgiver,
humbled before you, unworthy we bow;
in our extremity, show us your forgiveness,
merciful Father: we praise and adore. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSSIAN ANTHEM

Built on the Rock
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872; C. Døving, 1867-1937 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #211 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5 First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land,
Bells still are chiming and calling,
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.
2 Surely in temples made with hands
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling.
Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men--
Built in our bodies His temple.
3 We are God's house of living stones,
Builded for His habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;
Were we but two His name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,
With all His grace and His favor.
4 Now we may gather with our King
E'en in the lowliest dwelling;
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy forthtelling;
Jesus His grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all His words,
His truth doth hallow the temple.
5 Still we our earthly temples rear
That we may herald His praises;
They are the homes where He draws near
And little children embraces;
Beautiful things in them are said,
God there with us His cov'nant made,
Making us heirs of His kingdom.
6 Here stands the font before our eyes,
Telling how God did receive us;
Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
And what His table doth give us;
Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
Yea, and for aye our Redeemer.
7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam,
That, when the church-bells are ringing,
Many in Jesus' faith may come
Where He His message is bringing:
"I know mine own, mine own know me,
Ye, not the world, my face shall see;
My peace I leave with you, Amen."

O Lord, Our Father
Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #213 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Epiphany 5 First Line: O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded
Who, though by trials and by woes surrounded,
On Thee alone for help are still relying,
To Thee are crying?
2 Lord, put to shame Thy foes who breathe defiance
And vainly make their might their sole reliance;
In mercy turn to us, the poor and stricken,
Our hope to quicken.
3 Be Thou our Helper and our strong Defender;
Speak to our foes and cause them to surrender.
Yea, long before their plans have been completed,
They are defeated.
4 'Tis vain to trust in man; for Thou, Lord, only
Art the Defense and Comfort of the lonely.
With Thee to lead, the battle shall be glorious
And we victorious.
5 Thou art our Hero, all our foes subduing;
Save Thou Thy little flock they are pursuing.
We seek Thy help; for Jesus' sake be near us.
Great Helper, hear us!

Of Zion's Honor Angels Sing
Author: E. Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #216 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 5 Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing!
In Zion Christ alone is King;
In grace He rules with gentle sway,
And leads her heavenward, day by day.
2 For Zion knows no other Lord,
But cleaves to His unerring Word:
To her suffices: Jesus saith!
This is her source and rule of faith.
3 To her He gave the Pow'r of Keys,
To bind and loose as He decrees;
Through her declares sins forgiv'n
That we may be fit heirs of heav'n.
4 Apostles, prophets, He hath sent
To her with Word and Sacrament,
And still sends servants of the Word
To serve the Church and Christ, her Lord.
5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Adored by all the heav'nly host,
We bow in Zion at Thy throne—
No other God and Lord we own. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
