We turn to Christ anew
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist Lyrics: 1 We turn to Christ anew
who hear his call today,
his way to walk, his will pursue,
his word obey.
To serve him as our King
and of his kingdom learn,
from sin and every evil thing
to him we turn.
2 We trust in Christ to save;
in him new life begins:
who by his cross a ransom gave
from all our sins.
Our spirits' strength and stay
who when all flesh is dust
will keep us on that final day,
in him we trust.
3 We would be true to him
till earthly journeys end,
whose love no passing years can dim,
our changeless friend.
May we who bear his name
our faith and love renew,
to follow Christ our single aim,
and find him true. Scripture: Matthew 4:17-22 Used With Tune: LEONI

Bright the vision that delighted
Author: Richard Mant (1776-1848) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals The Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah's seer;
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet's ear.
2 Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled his temple, and repeated
each to each the alternate hymn:
3 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
4 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry,
'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'
5 With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus unite we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:
6 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.' Scripture: Isaiah 6 Used With Tune: LAUS DEO (REDHEAD NO. 46)

Love's redeeming work is done
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Mary Magdalene Lyrics: 1 Love's redeeming work is done;
fought the fight, the battle won:
lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
lo, he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection Thou! Scripture: Matthew 27:62-65 Used With Tune: SAVANNAH

As Jacob with travel was weary one day
Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Year B Dedication Festival Refrain First Line: Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree Lyrics: 1 As Jacob with travel was weary one day,
at night on a stone for a pillow he lay;
he saw in a vision a ladder so high
that its foot was on earth and its top in the sky:
Refrain:
Alleluia to Jesus who died on the tree,
and has raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
and has raised up a ladder of mercy for me.

has stood hundreds of years and is not yet decayed;
many millions have climbed it and reached Zion's hill,
by thousands by faith are climbing it still: [Refrain]
3 Come let us ascend! all may climb it who will;
for the angels of Jacob are guarding it still:
and remember, each step that by faith we pass o'er,
some prophet or martyr has trod it before: [Refrain]
4 And when we arrive at the haven of rest
we shall hear the glad words, 'Come up hither, ye blest,
here are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss'.
O who would not climb such a ladder as this? [Refrain] Scripture: Genesis 28:10-19 Used With Tune: JACOB'S LADDER Text Sources: 18th century

His the light that knows no shade.

In the bliss of Paradise.

Things that perish in the grasp;
Lift your hearts then to the skies;
God Himself shall be your prize.

Father, Son and Spirit blest;
For His promises are sure,
His rewards shall aye endure.

Shout through them their joyful greeting.--

God proclaiming in its thunder
Jesus as his Son by name!
Nations, cry aloud in wonder!--
Alleluya!
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya!

Law and prophets sing before him;
First and last, and only One,
Let Creation now adore him:

Though Angels Bright Escape Our Sight
Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Though angels bright escape our sight,
Unheard their songs are sung,
They hover 'round us day and night,
These earthly mists among.
2 Amid the snares, amid the cares
That danger brings each day,
Our Lord an angel band prepares
To guide us on our way.
3 With malice fell, the prince of hell
Would fain the Church o'erthrow,
But holy angels guard it well
And put to shame the foe.
4 This mercy shown, O Lord, we own:
To Thee our thanks we bring;
And with the angels 'round Thy throne
Would endless praises sing.
Amen.
