Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,021 hymnals Scripture: Luke 11:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Saviour of us all!
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who ask, how kind thou art,
how good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
no tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES Text Sources: Latin, 12th c

Thy kingdom come, O God
Author: Lewis Hensley, 1824-1905 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Scripture: Luke 11:2 Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God,
thy rule, O Christ, begin;
break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin.
2 Where is thy reign of peace
and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
that war shall be no more,
and lust, oppression, crime
shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee, Lord, arise,
and come in thy great might;
revive our longing eyes,
which languish for thy sight.
5 Men scorn thy sacred name,
and wolves devour thy fold;
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 O'er lands both near and far
thick darkness broodeth yet:
arise, O Morning Star,
arise, and never set! Topics: Advent III Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 11 Year B; Advent Used With Tune: ST CECILIA

Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment
Author: Carolina Sandell Berg; Andrew L. Skoog Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Luke 11:3 Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best—-
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Every day, the Lord himself is near me,
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares he wants to bear, to cheer me,
he whose name is Counselor and Power.
The protection of his child and treasure
is a charge that on himself he laid:
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me he made.
3 Help me then in every tribulation
so to trust thy promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
offered me within thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
till I reach the promised land.
