O happy band of pilgrims

Author: J. M. Neale; St. Joseph of the Studium Hymnal: CHRC1920 #601 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread With Jesus as your fellow, To Jesus as your head! 2 O happy if ye labour As Jesus did for men! O happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then! 3 The cross that Jesus carried, He carried as your due: The crown that Jesus weareth, He weareth it for you. 4 The faith by which ye see Him, The hope in which ye yearn, The love that through all troubles To Him alone will turn. 5 The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure. The manifold temptations That death alone can cure; 6 What are they but His jewels, Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth? 7 O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize! 8 To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God Whom we adore, Be loftiest praises given, Now and for evermore.

Evensong is hushed in silence

Author: J. Purchas, abb. Hymnal: CHRC1920 #602 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Evensong is hushed in silence, And the hour of rest is nigh: Strengthen us for work tomorrow, Son of Mary, God most high. Thou who in the village workshop, Fashioning the yoke and plough, Didst eat bread by daily labour, Succour them that labour now. 2 How are we to reach the city, Whose delights no tongue may tell? By the faith that looks to Jesus, By a life of doing well: Sinful men and sinful women, He will wash our sins away; He will take us to the Sheepfold, Whence no sheep can ever stray. 3 There the dear ones who have left us We shall some day meet again; There will be no bitter partings, No more sorrow, death or pain. Evensong has closed in silence, And the hour of rest is nigh: Lighten Thou our darkness, Jesus, Son of Mary, God most high. Topics: General Processionals Languages: English Tune Title: EVENSONG

Advent tells us Christ is near!

Author: K. Hankey Hymnal: CHRC1920 #603 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Advent tells us Christ is near! Christmas tells us Christ is here; In Epiphany we trace All the glory of His grace. 2 Those three Sundays before Lent Will prepare us to repent, That in Lent we may begin Earnestly to mourn for sin. 3 Holy Week and Easter, then, Tell Who died and rose again: O that happy Easter Day! 'Christ is risen indeed,' we say. 4 Yes, and Christ ascended, too, To prepare a place for you; So we give Him special praise After those great Forty Days. 5 Then He sent the Holy Ghost, On the day of Pentecost, With us ever to abide: Well may we keep Whitsuntide. 6 Last of all, we humbly sing Glory to our God and King, Glory to the One in Three On the Feast of Trinity.

Hosanna, they were singing

Author: C. F. Hernaman Hymnal: CHRC1920 #604 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, they were singing, When Jesus lived below, Those little Jewish children, Who loved the Saviour so. 2 Hosanna, now through Advent With loving hearts we sing, For Jesus Christ is coming To be His children's King. 3 Hosanna! Blessed Saviour, Come in our hearts to dwell, And let our lives and voices Thy praise and glory tell. 4 For we who sing Hosanna, Must like our Saviour be, In gentleness and meekness, In love and purity. 5 Hosanna! let this welcome Ring out from every heart; Draw nigh to us, O Jesus, And nevermore depart. 6 So when we see Thee coming With angels in the sky, Hosanna, Lord, Hosanna, Shall be thy children's cry.

Once in royal David's city

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #605 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city, Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby, In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, thro' all His wondrous childhood, He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. 4 For He is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crown'd, All in white shall wait around.

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Author: J. Luke Hymnal: CHRC1920 #606 (1920) Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with Him there, For "of such is the kingdom of heaven." 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come.

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #607 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for Thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Thee in fire and strife. 2 We wear the cross they wore of old, Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? 3 O day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 4 When deep within our swelling hearts, The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 5 Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 6 With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. 7 There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake.

Glory to the blessed Jesus!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: CHRC1920 #608 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Glory to the blessed Jesus! Who for us was born, In the stable, cold and poor, On glad Christmas morn. 2 Glory to the blessed Jesus! Who was crucified On Good Friday for our sins: Loving us He died. 3 Glory to the blessed Jesus! Who for sinners lay In the tomb, and rose upon Happy Easter Day. 4 Glory to the blessed Jesus! He, Who is our Way, Went up in a cloud to heaven On Ascension Day. 5 Glory to the blessed Jesus! Who at Whitsuntide Sent His Holy Spirit down With us to abide. 6 Glory to the blessed Jesus! We will praise His love, All our days on earth below, And for aye above. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: WOODCHESTER

Christ, Who once amongst us

Author: W. St. Hill Bourne Hymnal: CHRC1920 #609 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Christ, Who once amongst us As a child did dwell, Is the children's Saviour, And He loves us well; If we keep our promise Made Him at the font, He will be our Shepherd, And we shall not want. 2 Though we may not see Him For a little while, We shall know He holds us, Often feel His smile; If we trust His promise, He will let us rest, In His arms for ever, Leaning on His breast. 3 He will be our Shepherd After as before, By still heavenly waters Lead us evermore, Make us lie in pastures Beautiful and green, Where none thirst or hunger, And no tears are seen. 4 Jesus, our good Shepherd, Laying down Thy life, Lest Thy sheep should perish In the cruel strife, Help us to remember All Thy love and care, Trust in Thee, and love Thee Always, everywhere.
