"Lead thou me on!"
Author: John H. Newman Appears in 1,283 hymnals Topics: Afflictions; Christians Afflictions; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table First Line: Lead, kindly Light! amid the encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light! amid the encircling gloom
Lead thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead thou me on;
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not over thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead thou me on:
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years.
3 So long thy power has blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile! Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,705 hymnals Topics: Christ Name of ; Christ Rock; Christian Life Love for Christ; Communion with Christ and God; Cast Out Fear; Protection Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding-place,
My never-failing Treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace;
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 532 hymnals Topics: Christ Risen Ascension; Christian Year Ascension; Communion of Saints; Jesus cross Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
and heaven’s eternal Light;
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know:
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS (NOTTINGHAM)

'Tis sweet to know that thou art near;
Am I with dread of justice tried,
'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.
3 In life, thy promises of aid
Forbid my heart to be afraid;
In death, peace gently vails the eyes,--
Christ rose, and I shall surely rise. Scripture: Joshua 23:14 Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Jesus Word of God Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the world's great Lord and King,
in a virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 That last night, at supper lying,
with the Twelve, his chosen band,
Jesus, with the law complying,
keeps the feast its rites demand;
then, more precious food supplying,
gives himself with his own hand.
3 Word-made-flesh! his word is making
earthly bread his flesh to be,
wine his blood; and all partaking
should from sinful thoughts be free.
Faith alone, sight's limits breaking,
show true hearts the mystery.
4 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere;
older rituals have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inner vision clear.
5 Unto God be praise and honour:
to the Father, to the Son,
to the mighty Spirit, glory,
ever Three and ever One:
power and glory in the highest
while eternal ages run. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA Text Sources: Alt. Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
