Creator Spirit, by Whose aid

Author: J. Dryden Hymnal: CHRC1920 #375 (1920) Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 Creator Spirit, by Whose aid The world's foundations first were laid, Come, visit ev'ry humble mind; Come, pour Thy joys on human kind; From sin and sorrow set us free, And make Thy temples worthy Thee. 2 O Source of uncreated light, The Father's promised Paraclete! Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire, Our hearts with heavenly love inspire; Come, and Thy sacred unction bring To sanctify us while we sing. 3 Plenteous of grace, come from on high, Rich in Thy sevenfold energy; Make us eternal truth receive, And practise all that we believe; Give us Thyself, that we may see The Father and the Son by Thee.

All things bright and beautiful

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #614 (1920) Tune Title: ALL THINGS BRIGHT Lyrics: 1 All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. 2 Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. 3 The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset and the morning, That brightens up the sky. 4 The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden He made them every one. 5 The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water We gather every day. 6 He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English

Alleluia! sing to Jesus!

Bread of Heaven, Thou on earth our Food, our Stay! Alleluia! here the sinful Flee to Thee from day to day: Intercessor, Friend of sinners, Earth's Redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own: Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, heaven Thy Throne: Thou within the veil hast entered, Robed in flesh, our great High-Priest; Thou on earth both Priest and Victim In the Eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the sceptre, His the throne; Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone; Hark! the songs of holy Sion Thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus out of every nation Hath redeemed us by His Blood.

Our day of praise is done

Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: CHRC1920 #23 (1920) Tune Title: ALLINGTON Lyrics: 1 Our day of praise is done; The evening shadows fall; But pass not from us with the sun, True Light that light'nest all. 2 Around the throne on high, Where night can never be, The white-robed harpers of the sky Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee. 3 Too faint our anthems here; Too soon of praise we tire: But O the strains how full and clear Of that eternal choir! 4 Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will If Thou attune the heart, We in Thine angels' music still May bear our lower part. 5 'Tis Thine each soul to calm, Each wayward thought reclaim, And make our life a daily psalm Of glory to Thy Name. 6 A little while, and then Shall come the glorious end; And songs of angels and of men In perfect praise shall blend.

O Lord of heav'n, and earth, and sea

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #445 (1920) Tune Title: ALMSGIVING Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heav'n, and earth, and sea, To Thee all praise and glory be; How shall we show our love to Thee, Who givest all? 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flowers and fruits Thy love declare, Where harvests ripen, Thou art there, Who givest all! 3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days, For all the blessings earth displays, We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, Who givest all! 4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son, But gav'st Him for a world undone, And freely with that blessed One Thou givest all. 5 Thou giv'st the Holy Spirit's dower, Spirit of life, and love, and power, And dost His sevenfold graces shower Upon us all. 6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heav'n, O Lord, what can to Thee be given, Who givest all? 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend; We have as treasure without end Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend, Who givest all. 8 Whatever, Lord, we lead to Thee Repaid a thousandfold will be; Then gladly will we give to Thee, Who givest all; 9 To Thee, from Whom we all derive Our life, our gifts, our power to give; O may we ever with Thee live, Who givest all!

All things are Thine; no gift have we

Author: J. G. Whittier Hymnal: CHRC1920 #290 (1920) Tune Title: ALSACE Lyrics: 1 All things are Thine; no gift have we, Lord of all gifts, to offer Thee; And hence with grateful hearts today Thine own before Thy feet we lay. 2 Thy will was in the builders' thought; Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought; Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, Thy wise eternal purpose ran. 3 In weakness and in want we call On Thee for whom the heavens are small Thy glory is Thy children's good, Thy joy Thy tender Fatherhood. 4 O Father, deign these walls to bless; Fill with Thy love their emptiness; And let their door a gateway be To lead us from ourselves to Thee.

A little child the Saviour came

Author: W. Robertson Hymnal: CHRC1920 #235 (1920) Tune Title: ALSTONE Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshiped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He Who a little child began The life divine to show to man, Proclaims from heaven the message free, "Let little children come to Me." 3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign Of cleansing water name them Thine: Their souls with saving grace endow, Baptize then with Thy Spirit now. 4 O give Thy angels charge, good Lord, Them safely in Thy way to guard; Thy blessing on their lives command, And write their names upon Thy hand. 5 O Thou Who by an infant's tongue Dost hear Thy perfect glory sung, May these, with all the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #607 (1920) Tune Title: ALSTONE Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for Thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Thee in fire and strife. 2 We wear the cross they wore of old, Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? 3 O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 4 When deep within our swelling hearts, The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 5 Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 6 With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. 7 There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake.

One sweetly solemn thought

Author: P. Cary Hymnal: CHRC1920 #559 (1920) Tune Title: AMBROSE Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer my home today Than I ever have been before; 2 Nearer the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea, Nearer my Father's house, Where the "many mansions" be; 3 Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross, Nearer gaining the crown; 4 But lying darkly between, Winding down thro' the night, Is the deep and unknown stream To be crossed ere we reach the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen the hand of my faith: Let me feel Thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; 6 Feel Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think.
