O thou in all thy might so far

Author: Frederick Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: NEH1985 #429 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: CROWLE Lyrics: 1 O THOU in all thy might so far, In all thy love so near, Beyond the range of sun and star, And yet beside us here. 2 What heart can comprehend thy name, Or searching find thee out, Who art within, a quickening flame, A presence round about? 3 Yet though I know thee but in part, I ask not, Lord, for more; Enough for me to know thou art, To love thee and adore. 4 And dearer than all things I know Is childlike faith to me, That makes the darkest way I go An open path to thee.

The eternal gates lift up their heads

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: NEH1985 #133 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: CRUCIS VICTORIA Lyrics: 1 The eternal gates lift up their heads, The doors are opened wide, The King of glory is gone up Unto his Father's side. 2 And ever on our earthly path A gleam of glory lies, A light still breaks behind the cloud That veils thee from our eyes. 3 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds, And let thy grace be given, That, while we live on earth below, Our treasure be in heaven; 4 That, where thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love may be: Dwell in us now, that we may dwell For evermore in thee.

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: NEH1985 #55 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: CRÜGER Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed! Great David's greater Son; Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, Love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth: Before him on the mountains Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore him, His praise all people sing; To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, He on his throne shall rest, From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever; That name to us is Love.

Faithful Cross! above all other

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #517a (1986) Tune Title: CRUX FIDELIS First Line: Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Lyrics: Faithful Cross! above all other One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be; Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron! Sweetest weight is hung on thee. 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle, Sing the ending of the fray, O'er the Cross, the victor's trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay: Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, As a Victim won the day. 2 God in pity saw man fallen, Shamed and sunk in misery, When he fell on death by tasting Fruit of the forbidden tree: Then another tree was chosen Which the world from death should free. 3 Therefore when the appointed fullness Of the holy time was come, He was sent who maketh all things Forth from God's eternal home: Thus he came to earth, incarnate, Offspring of a maiden's womb. 4 Thirty years among us dwelling, Now at length his hour fulfilled, Born for this, he meets his Passion, For that this he freely willed, On the Cross the Lamb is lifted, Where his life-blood shall be spilled. 5 Bend thy boughs, O Tree of Glory, Thy too rigid sinews bend; For awhile the ancient rigour That thy birth bestowed, suspend, And the King of heavenly beauty On thy bosom gently tend. 6 Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's Ransom to sustain, That a shipwrecked race might ever Thus a port of refuge gain, With the sacred blood anointed From the Lamb for sinners slain. 7 He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar and spear and reed; From that holy Body pierced Blood and water forth proceed: Earth and stars and sky and ocean By that flood from stain are freed. 8 To the Trinity be glory, To the Father and the Son, With the co-eternal Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in love and one in splendour, While unending ages run. Amen. Topics: Good Friday Languages: English

Servant of God, remember

Author: Prudentius, 348-510; T. A. Lacey, 1853-1931 Hymnal: NEH1985 #80a (1986) Tune Title: CULTO DEI Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, remember The stream thy soul bedewing, The grace that came upon thee Anointing and renewing. 2 When kindly slumber calls thee, Upon thy bed reclining, Trace thou the Cross of Jesus, Thy heart and forehead signing. 3 The Cross dissolves the darkness, And drives away temptation; It calms the wavering spirit By quiet consecration. 4 *Begone, begone, the terrors Of vague and formless dreaming; Begone, thou fell deceiver, With all thy boasted scheming. 5 *Begone, thou crooked serpent, Who, twisting and pursuing, By fraud and lie preparest The simple soul’s undoing; 6 *Tremble, for Christ is near us, Depart, for here he dwelleth, And this, the Sign thou knowest, Thy strong battalions quelleth. 7 Then while the weary body Its rest in sleep is nearing, The heart will muse in silence On Christ and his appearing. 8 To God, eternal Father, To Christ, our King, be glory, And to the Holy Spirit, In never-ending story. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide; Office Hymn Compline Languages: English

Hail Mary, full of grace. 2 Blessèd were the chosen people Out of whom the Lord did come, Blessèd was the land of promise Fashioned for his earthly home; But more blessèd far the Mother She who bare him in her womb. Hail Mary, full of grace. 3 Wherefore let all faithful people Tell the honour of her name, Let the Church in her foreshadowed Part in her thanksgiving claim; What Christ's Mother sang in gladness Let Christ's people sing the same. Hail Mary, full of grace. 4 Let us weave our supplications, She with us and we with her, For the advancement of the faithful, For each faithful worshipper, For the doubting, for the sinful, For each heedless wanderer. Hail Mary, full of grace. 5 *May the Mother's intercessions On our homes a blessing win, That the children all be prospered, Strong and fair and pure within, Following our Lord's own footsteps, Firm in faith and free from sin. Hail Mary, full of grace. 6 *For the sick and for the agèd, For our dear ones far away, For the hearts that mourn in secret, All who need our prayers today, For the faithful gone before us, May the holy Virgin pray. Hail Mary, full of grace. 7 Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Saviour and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; O'er all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, full of grace. Topics: The Blessed Virgin Mary; Procession; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper; The Annunciation March 25th

Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise. Topics: Michaelmas Languages: English
