The Church of Christ in Every Age

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The church of Christ, in every age, beset by change but Spirit led, must claim and test its heritage and keep on rising from the dead. 2 Across the world, across the street the victims of injustice cry for shelter and for bread to eat, and never live until they die. 3 Then let the servant church arise, a caring church that longs to be a partner in Christ's sacrifice, and clothed in Christ's humanity. 4 For Christ alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, and teach us how to share our bread and feed the starving multitude. 5 We have no mission but to serve in full obedience to our Lord: to care for all without reserve and spread Christ's liberating word.

Now Dawning Glows The Day Of Days

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; Fenton J. A. Hort Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now dawning glows the day of days; All Heaven resounds with songs of praise! From earth loud shouts of triumph rise And hell beneath with groans replies. 2 For He, the mighty King of day, Hath crushed proud death’s unlawful sway, And, marching through that dark domain, He broke the weary prisoner’s chain. 3 Fierce soldiers o’er His tomb kept guard; A mighty stone the entrance barred; But, bursting from His prison, He rose Triumphant o’er His baffled foes. 4 Loosed are the pains of hell this hour; Death over life hath lost his power; "The Lord is risen," the angel said, "Why seek the living ’mid the dead?" 5 Thou gracious King and Lord of day, Dwell Thou within our hearts, we pray; So from Thine own shall grateful praise Rise to Thy throne through all our days.

Blest Be Th'Eternal Infininte!

Author: Shoveller Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Blest be th’Eternal Infinite! Lyrics: 1 Blest be th’Eternal Infinite! Whose skill conducts this rolling sphere, Who rules our day, who guards our night, And guides the swift, revolving year! 2 Our race are falling every hour, While we distinguished yet appear: ’Tis of Thy matchless love and power. That we are spared another year. 3 Oh! for a sweet refreshing time; Father! Thy children wish Thee near: Come, and our joys shall be sublime, While we begin another year. 4 Now may Thy Spirit’s love reveal, And make our heav’nly prospects clear; Our interest in them may we feel, While we pass on from year to year. 5 May that good Spirit be our guide, During our stay as pilgrims here; Nor let us from our God backslide, As we have done the former year. 6 Strengthen our faith, increase our love, Fill us with godly, filial fear; And to Thy waiting children prove Thy grace thro’ every fleeting year, 7 This truth impress on every soul, That vast eternity is near— That time’s swift moments onward roll, To bring the last…the closing year. 8 When nature in a blaze shall die, Or death conclude our being here, Then to our Jesus may we fly, To spend a never-ending year.

அனாதி தேவா உம் வாக்கு

Author: Ray Palmer; S. John Barathi Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 அனாதி தேவா உம் வாக்கு கிறிஸ்தேசுவுக்கே மகிமை, தம் இரத்தம் சிந்தி மீட்டாரே, இன்றென்றும் ஆள்வார் இராஜனாய். 2 உம் செங்கோல் ஆள வேண்டியே காத்து நின்றோம் யாம் மீட்பரே, எங்கும் வெற்றியின் காட்சியே, காலம் கடந்து சென்றதே. 3 எதிராய் சாத்தான் கூட்டமே சிலுவை பார் ஆம் போர் ஓசை, இருளின் தூண்கள் நெருங்க, கால் தவறியே மாள்வாரே. 4 மலைகள் மீதே ஒளிர்ந்து நல் பாதை காட்டி நடத்தும், எதிரொலிக்கும் குரல்கள், ஆனந்த சப்தம் கேட்குதே. 5 விஸ்வாசம் சபை நிறப்பும் வல்மையால் கண்ணீர் ஓய்ந்திட, தேசங்கள் யாவும் விறைந்தே, அமைதி விடுதலைக்காய். 6 தூயாவி வந்தே காண்பியும் தந்தையின் சித்தம் வல்லமை, நரகை வையம் வென்றிட, இறுதியாய் கொண்டாடிட.
