All Glory to God
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: All glory to God, and peace upon earth Lyrics: 1. All glory to God, and peace upon earth,
Be published abroad at Jesus’ birth;
The forfeited favor of Heaven we find
Restored in the Savior and Friend of mankind.
2. Then let us behold Messias the Lord,
By prophets foretold, by angels adored;
Our God’s incarnation with angels proclaim,
And publish salvation in Jesus’ name.
3. Our newly born King by faith we have seen
And joyfully sing His goodness to men,
That all men may wonder at what we impart,
And thankfully ponder His love in their heart.
4. What moved the Most High so greatly to stoop,
He comes from the sky our souls to lift up;
That sinners forgiven, might sinless return
To God and to Heaven; their Maker is born.
5. Immanuel’s love let sinners confess,
Who comes from above, to bring us His peace;
Let every believer His mercy adore,
And praise Him forever, when time is no more. Used With Tune: ASPINWALL Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 7
All Glory to God
The Seasons Are Fixed by Wisdom Divine
Author: Unknown Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine,
The slow-changing moon show forth God’s design;
The sun in his circuit his maker obeys,
And running his journey hastes not nor delays.
2. The Lord makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
The lions creep forth, God’s bounty to share;
The Lord makes the morning, when beasts steal away
And men are beginning the work of the day.
3. How many and wise Thy works are, O Lord!
The earth with the wealth of wisdom is stored;
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro,
And creatures unnumbered it shelters below.
4. Thy creatures all look to Thee for their food;
Thy hands open wide, they gather the good;
Thy face Thou concealest, in anguish they yearn;
Their breath Thou withholdest, to dust they return.
5. Thy Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
To God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
Let God in His creatures forever delight.
6. Before the Lord’s might earth trembles and quakes,
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks;
The Lord I will worship through all of my days,
Yea, while I have being my God I will praise.
7. Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
While sinners depart in ruin complete;
My soul, bless Jehovah, His name be adored,
Come, praise Him, ye people, and worship the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: ASPINWALL

Rejoice in God's Saints
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days;
a world without saints forgets how to praise.
Their faith in acquiring the habit of prayer,
their depth of adoring, Lord, help us to share.
2 Some march with events to turn them God's way;
some need to withdraw, the better to pray.
Some carry the gospel through fire and through flood;
our world is their parish; their purpose is God.
3 Rejoice in those saints, unpraised and unknown,
who bear someone's cross or shoulder their own.
They shame our complaining, our comforts, our cares;
what patience in caring, what courage, is theirs!
4 Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days;
a world without saints forgets how to praise.
In loving, in living, they prove it is true:
the way of self-giving, Lord, leads us to you.

Be Strong in the Lord
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Be strong in the Lord in armor of light Lyrics: 1 Be strong in the Lord in armor of light,
with helmet and sword, with shield for the fight;
on prayer be dependent, be belted and shod,
in breastplate resplendent: the armor of God.
2 Integrity gird you round to impart
the truth of His Word as truth in your heart;
his righteousness wearing as breastplate of mail,
his victory sharing, be strong to prevail.
3 With eagerness shod, stand firm in your place,
or go forth for God with news of his grace;
no foe shall disarm you nor force you to yield,
no arrow can harm you with faith as your shield.
4 Though Satan presume to test you and try,
in helmet and plume, your head shall be high;
beset by temptation be true to your Lord,
your helmet, salvation, and Scripture, your sword.
5 So wield well your blade, rejoice in its powers,
fight on undismayed for Jesus is ours!
Then in him victorious your armor lay down,
to praise, ever glorious, his cross and his crown. Topics: Enemies and Persecution; Protection; Temptations ; Warfare, Spiritual; Will of God Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: LYONS

In Water We Grow
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: In water we grow, secure in the womb Lyrics: 1 In water we grow, secure in the womb,
and speechlessly know love's safety and room.
Baptizing and blessing we publish for good
the freeing, caressing safe-keeping of God.
2 In water we wash: the dirt of each day,
its trouble and rush are carried away.
In Christ re-created by love's cleansing art,
self-will and self-hatred dissolve and depart.
3 In water we dive, and cannot draw breath,
then surface alive, rebounding from death.
Our old self goes under, in Christ dead and drowned.
We rise, washed in wonder, by love clad and crowned.
4 In water we dwell, for by its deep flow
through bloodstream and cell, we live, think, and grow.
Praise God, love outflowing, whose well of new birth
baptizes our knowing, and waters the earth. Topics: The Church at Worship Baptism; God's Church The Church at Worship: Baptism; Baptism; New Life in Christ Used With Tune: STANLEY BEACH
