We believe in God the Father

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We believe in God the Father, God almighty, by whose plan earth and heaven sprang to being, all created things began. We believe in Christ the Saviour, Son of God in human frame, virgin-born, the child of Mary upon whom the Spirit came. 2 Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, suffered under Pontius Pilate, he descended to the dead. We believe in Jesus risen, heaven's king to rule and reign, to the Father's side ascended till as judge he comes again. 3 We believe in God the Spirit; in one Church, below, above: saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Saviour, Lord and friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end.

Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us

Author: Janie Alford Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us; come with Pentecostal power; give the church a stronger vision; help us face each crucial hour. Built upon a firm foundation, Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone, still the church is called to mission that God's love shall be made known. 2 We would raise our alleluias for the grace of yesteryears; for tomorrow's unknown pathway, hear, O Lord, our humble prayers. In the church's pilgrim journey you have led us all the way; still in presence move before us, fire by night and cloud by day. 3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us; give us words of fire and flame. Help our feeble lips to praise you, glorify your holy name. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Three in One: what mystery! We would sing our loud hosannas now and through eternity.

Who Is This, with Garments Gory

Author: Arthur C. Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Who is this with garments gory Lyrics: 1. Who is this with garments gory, Triumphing from Bozrah’s way; This that weareth robes of glory, Bright with more than victory’s ray? Who is this unwearied comer From his journey’s sultry length, Traveling through Idumè’s summer In the greatness of His strength? 2. Wherefore red in Thine apparel Like the conquerors of the earth, And arrayed like those who carol O’er the reeking vineyard’s mirth? Who art Thou, the valleys seeking Where our peaceful harvests wave? I, in righteous anger speaking, I, the mighty One to save. 3. I, that of the raging heathen Trod the winepress all alone, Now in victor garlands wreathen Coming to redeem Mine own: I am He with sprinkled raiment, Glorious for My vengeance hour, Ransoming, with priceless payment, And delivering with power. 4. Hail! All hail! Thou Lord of Glory! Thee, our Father, Thee we own; Abraham heard not of our story, Israel ne’er our name hath known. But, Redeemer, Thou hast sought us, Thou hast heard Thy children’s wail, Thou with Thy dear blood hast bought us: Hail! Thou mighty victor, hail!

The Ruler's Daughter

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Could the creatures help or ease us Lyrics: 1 Could the creatures help or ease us Seldom should we think of prayer; Few, if any, come to Jesus Till reduced to self despair; Long we either slight or doubt Him, But when all the means we try Prove we cannot do without Him, Then at last to Him we cry. 2 Thus the ruler when his daughter Suffered much, though Christ was nigh, Still deferred it, till he thought her At the very point to die; Though he mourned for her condition, He did not entreat the Lord, Till he found that no physician But Himself, could help afford. 3 Jesus did not once upbraid him, That he had no sooner come; But a gracious answer made him, And went straightway with him home; Yet his faith was put to trial When his servants came and said, Though he gave thee no denial, ’Tis too late—the child is dead. 4 Jesus, to prevent his grieving, Kindly spoke and eased his pain; "Be not fearful, but believing, Thou shalt see her live again"; When He found the people weeping, "Cease," He said, "no longer mourn; For she is not dead, but sleeping"; Then they laughed Him to scorn. 5 O Thou meek and lowly Savior, How determined is Thy love! Not this rude, unkind behavior, Could Thy gracious purpose move; Soon as He the room had entered, Spoke, and took her by the hand; Death at once his prey surrendered, And she lived at His command. 6 Fear not then, distressed believer, Venture on His mighty name; He is able to deliver, And His love is still the same; Can His pity or His power Suffer thee to pray in vain? Wait but His appointed hour, And thy suit thou shalt obtain. Used With Tune: EBENEZER Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph, see the King in royal state riding on the clouds, his chariot to his heav'nly palace gate; Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful Alleluias sing and the portals high are lifted to receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is he that comes in glory with the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 While he lifts his hands in blessing he is parted from his friends; while their eager eyes behold him, he upon the clouds ascends; he who walked with God and pleased him, preaching truth and doom to come, he, our Enoch, is translated to his everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters with his blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before him quail. Now he plants the tribes of Israel in their promised resting place, now our great Elijah offers double portion of his grace. 5 He has raised our human nature on the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels, mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold our own.
