O Happy Day, When First Was Poured

Author: Sebastien Besnault; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O happy day, when first was poured The blood of our redeeming Lord! O happy day, when first began His sufferings for sinful man! 2 Just entered on this world of woe, His blood already learned to flow; His future death was thus expressed, And thus His early love confessed. 3 From Heaven descending to fulfill The mandates of His Father’s will, E’en now behold the victim lie, The Lamb of God, prepared to die! 4 Lord, circumcise our hearts, we pray, Our fleshly natures purge away; Thy name, Thy likeness may they bear: Yea, stamp Thy holy image there! 5 O Lord, the virgin born, to Thee Eternal praise and glory be, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost forevermore.

O Thou Who Gavest Power to Love

Author: Mandell Creighton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou who gavest power to love That we might fix our hearts on Thee, Preparing us for joys above By that which here on earth we see: 2. Thy Spirit trains our souls to know The growing purpose of Thy will, And gives to love the power to show That purpose growing larger still; 3. Larger, as love to reverent eyes Makes manifest another soul, And shows to life a richer prize, A clearer course, a nobler goal. 4. Lord, grant Thy servants who implore Thy blessing on the hearts they blend, That from that union evermore New joys may blossom to the end. 5. Make what is best in each combine To purge all earthly dross away, To strengthen, purify, refine, To beautify each coming day. 6. So may they hand in hand advance Along life’s path from troubles free; Brave to meet adverse circumstance Because their love points up to Thee. Used With Tune: DAS WALT' GOTT VATER

Schuette; Martin Behm Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O holy, blessed Trinity, Divine, eternal Unity, God Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Be Thou this day my guide and host. 2 My soul and body keep from harm, O’er all I have extend Thine arm, That Satan may not cause distress Nor bring me shame and wretchedness. 3 The Father’s love shield me this day, The Son’s pure wisdom cheer my way, The Holy Spirit’s light divine Illume my heart’s benighted shrine. 4 My Maker, strengthen Thou my heart, O blest Redeemer, help impart, Blest Comforter, stay by my side, That faith and love in me abide. 5 Lord, bless and keep Thou me as Thine; Lord, make Thy face upon me shine; Lord, lift Thy countenance on me And give me peace, sweet peace from Thee. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace God; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: VETTER
