Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:20-21 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you.
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you.
By your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded.
You alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart;
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open lips and ears and heart;
help us by your Spirit's leading.
Hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises. Topics: Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Light; Praise of Christ; Responses To Scripture; Elements of Worship Prayer for Illunination; Elements of Worship Hearing the Word Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:17-21 Lyrics: 1 Hark, a herald voice is calling:
'Christ is near,' it seems to say,
'cast away the dreams of darkness,
waken, children of the day!'

let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all sloth dispelling
shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected
comes with pardon down from heav'n;
let us meet him with repentance,
pray that we may be forgiv'n.
4 So when love comes forth in judgment,
debts and doubts and wrongs to clear,
faithful may he find his servants
watching till the dawn appear. Topics: Advent; Judgment of God; Repentance; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Baptist; Worship Gathering Used With Tune: MERTON Text Sources: Anon., Latin, ?6th cent.
Hark! a herald voice is calling
And did the holy and the just
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 And did the holy and the just,
The sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to wretchedness and dust,
That guilty man might rise?
2 Yes, the Redeemer left his throne--
His radiant throne on high--
Surprising mercy! love unknown!
To suffer, bleed, and die.
3 To dwell with misery here below,
The Saviour left the skies,
And sank to wretchedness and woe,
That worthless man might rise.
4 He took the dying traitor's place,
And suffered in his stead:
For sinful man--oh, wondrous grace!
For sinful man he bled.
5 O Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell
In thine atoning blood!
By this are sinners saved from hell,
And rebels brought to God. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Atoning Blood of Christ

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light triumphant breaks,
when beauty gilds the eastern hills
and life to joy awakes

to bear and fight and die,
but crowned with glory like the sun
that lights the morning sky.
3 Oh, brighter than the rising morn
when Christ, victorious, rose
and left the lonesome place of death,
despite the rage of foes–
4 oh, brighter than that glorious morn
shall dawn upon our race
the day when Christ in splendor comes
and we shall see his face.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
and light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:
come quickly, King of kings. Topics: Church Year Christ the King; Jesus Christ King; Jesus Christ Second Coming Used With Tune: MORNING SONG Text Sources: Greek

It strikes the spirit dead.

Hath answered all demands;
And peace and pardon from the skies
Are offered by thy hands.

O God of truth, whose living Word
Author: Thomas Hughes Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23 Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living Word
Upholds whate'er hath breath,
Look down on thy creation, Lord,
Enslaved by sin and death,
2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we
Who claim a heav'nly birth,
May march with thee to smite the lies
That vex thy groaning earth.
3 Ah! would we join that blest array,
And follow in the might
Of him, the Faithful and the True,
In raiment clean and white!
4 Then, God of truth for whom we long,
Thou who wilt hear our pray'r,
Do thine own battle in our hearts,
And slay the falsehood there.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Conflict with Sin; Missions; Truth; Word of God Used With Tune: MIRFIELD
