Surprised by Joy
Author: Erik Routley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Surprised by joy no song can tell Lyrics: 1 Surprised by joy no song can tell,
no thought can compass, here we stand
to celebrate eternal Love,
to reach for God's almighty Hand.
2 Beyond an angel's mind is this,
best gift, alone to mortals giv'n;
the love of parent, lover, friend
brings straight to earth the bliss of heaven.
3 Faith, hope and love here come alive;
God's very being is made known
when, giving and forgiving all,
two are inseparably one.
4 For all this splendour, all this joy
is ours because a Father's care--
large, gen'rous, patient, strong as death--
showed us in Christ what love can dare.
5 Your banner over us be love,
your grace refresh our trav'ling days;
your power sustain, your beauty cheer;
our words, our home, our lives be praise! Topics: Marriage Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:4 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE (O SALUTARIS)

O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd
Author: J. F. Thrupp Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd
By every suff'ring here below,
Who taught'st Thy noble martyr-host
To follow in Thy path of woe.
2 O Son of God, Whose glory cast
Its light upon Thy champion's face,
Revealing to his eyes at last
The marvels of the holiest place;
3 Be ours the faith that sees Thee stand
Beside the throne of God on high,
To succour with Thy strong right hand
Thy soldiers when to Thee they cry.
4 Be ours the hope, resigned and meek,
That trusts the spirit to Thy care,
That longs Thy face in heaven to seek,
And dwell with Thee in glory there.
5 Be ours the love, divine and free,
Which asks forgiveness for our foes;
Which draws, in life, its life from Thee,
And, dying, finds in Thee repose.

Of Omnipresent Grace I Sing
Author: Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of omnipresent grace I sing;
For, though I take the morning's wing
And dwell beyond the outer sea,
Yet Thou art present there with me.
2 Thy hand shall lead me by the way,
Thy right hand be my staff and stay;
Though darkness compass me around,
Night shall be light where Thou art found.
3 Where Thou art, darkness cannot stay,
Thou turnest darkness into day;
Both night and light are one to Thee:
In darkness Thou still seest me.
4 Thine eye beheld me yet unborn
And watched my steps from earliest morn;
My ways are written in Thy book:
By Thee I live, to Thee I look. A-Men.
5 Thy thoughts are precious to my heart;
Thy presence bids all care depart;
I lay me down, Thou art with me;
I wake-- and still I am with Thee.
6 Lord, try my way and me anew;
Prove Thou my heart and make it true
And lead me in the better way
To life, to Thee--for aye and aye.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace God Used With Tune: NAZARETH (MELCOMBE)

By Thee, my gracious Lord, be heard;
Give wisdom and deliver me
According to Thy faithful word.

To praise Thy word I lift my voice;
O Lord, be Thou my present help,
For Thy commandments are my choice.
3 For Thy salvation I have longed,
And in Thy law is my delight;
Enrich my soul with life divine,
And help me by Thy judgments right.
4 Thy servant like a wandering sheep
Has lost the path and gone astray;
Restore my soul and lead me home,
For Thy commands I would obey.

O Let My Supplicating Cry
In vain would boasting reason find
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living Way:
Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treacherous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Topics: Sin and Redemption; Septuagesima Sunday; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Easter Season, Second Sunday; Seventh Sunday after Trinity; Ninth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
