God, that madest earth and heaven
Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826); Richard Whateley (1787 - 1863) Hymnal: AM2013 #16 (2013) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
darkness and light;
who the day for toil hast given,
for rest the night;
may thine angel-guards defend us,
slumber sweet thy mercy send us,
holy dreams and hopes attend us,
this livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
and, when we die,
may we in thy mighty keeping
all peaceful lie:
when the last dread call shall wake us,
do not thou our God forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with thee on high. Topics: Angels; Children and All-Age Worship; Evening; Future hope; God Protection of; Heaven; Rest Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5 Languages: English
God, that madest earth and heaven
With joy we meditate the grace
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: AM2013 #824 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ARDEN Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace
of our High Priest above;
his heart is made of tenderness,
and ever yearns with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
he knows our feeble frame;
he knows what sore temptations mean
for he has felt the same.
3 He in the days of feeble flesh
poured out his cries and tears;
and, in his measure, feels afresh
what every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
but raise it to a flame;
the bruisèd reed he never breaks,
nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
his mercy and his power:
we shall obtain delivering grace
in every needful hour. Topics: Jesus compassion; Jesus priesthood; Jesus temptations; Temptation Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 Languages: English
With joy we meditate the grace

Bread of life, hope of the world
Above the voices of the world around me
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: AM2013 #114 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Tune Title: ASTON ROWANT Lyrics: 1 Above the voices of the world around me,
my hopes and dreams, my cares and loves and fears,
the long-awaited call of Christ has found me,
the voice of Jesus echoes in my ears:
'I gave my life to break the cords that bind you,
I rose from death to set your spirit free;
tum from your sins and put the past behind you,
take up your cross and come and follow me.'
2 What can I offer him who calls me to him?
Only the wastes of sin and self and shame;
a mind confused, a heart that never knew him,
a tongue unskilled at naming Jesus' name.
Yet at your call, and hungry for your blessing,
drawn by that cross which moves a heart of stone,
now Lord I come, my tale of sin confessing,
and in repentance turn to you alone.
3 Lord, I believe; help now my unbelieving;
I come in faith because your promise stands.
Your word of pardon and of peace receiving,
all that I am I place within your hands.
Let me become what you shall choose to make me,
freed from the guilt and burden of my sins.
Jesus is mine, who never shall forsake me,
and in his love my new-born life begins. Topics: Belief; Discipleship; Faith; Forgiveness; God Promises of; Lent; Other Saints and Festivals Andrew the Apostle; Penitence; Self-offering; Sin; Temptation; The Third Sunday of Lent Year A; Vocation Scripture: Mark 1:14-20 Languages: English

The church's one foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone (1832-1900) Hymnal: AM2013 #506 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: AURELIA Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy Bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore opprest,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distrest;
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, 'How long?'
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee.

Light of the minds that know him

may Christ be light to mine!
my sun in risen splendour,
my light of truth divine;
my guide in doubt and darkness,
my true and living way,
my clear light ever shining,
my dawn of heaven's day.
2 Life of the souls that love him,
may Christ be ours indeed!
the living bread from heaven
on whom our spirits feed;
who died for love of sinners
to bear our guilty load,
and make of life's brief journey
a new Emmaus road.
3 Strength of the wills that serve him,
may Christ be strength to me,
who stilled the storm and tempest,
who calmed the tossing sea;
his Spirit's power to move me,
his will to master mine,
his cross to carry daily
and conquer in his sign.
4 May it be ours to know him
that we may truly love,
and loving, fully serve him
as serve the saints above;
till in that home of glory
with fadeless splendour bright,
we serve in perfect freedom
our strength, our life, our light. Topics: Easter; Devotion; Discipleship; Future hope; God Will of; Heaven; Jesus Life and Ministry; Light; Self-offering; The Second Sunday before Lent Year B Scripture: Mark 4:35-41 Languages: English

Forty days and forty nights

thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 Sunbeams scorching all the day;
chilly dewdrops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about thy way;
stones thy pillow, earth thy bed.
3 Shall not we thy sorrows share,
and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
glad with thee to suffer pain?
4 And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
thou, his vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 So shall we have peace divine;
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us too shall angels shine,
such as ministered to thee.
6 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Topics: Angels; Ash Wednesday; Church Year Lent; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus temptations; Lent; Temptation; The First Sunday of Lent Year A; The First Sunday of Lent Year B; The First Sunday of Lent Year C Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Languages: English

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: AM2013 #641b (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUSTRIA Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage:
grace which, like the Lord the giver,
never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
all his boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure,
none but Zion's children know. Topics: God in grace and mercy; God Protection of; Joy; Pilgrimage; Proper 17 Year C; The Second Sunday before Advent Year B; Water Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Languages: English
Glorious things of thee are spoken
