Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest
Christ is the world's true Light
Author: G. W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: NEH1985 #494 (1986) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Person Name: G. W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Topics: Church and People The Kingdom of God; The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: RINKART (KOMMT SEELEN)
Christ is the world's true Light
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #189 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: William Bright, 1824-1901 Lyrics: 1 He sat to watch o’er customs paid,
A man of scorned and hardening trade,
Alike the symbol and the tool
Of foreign masters’ hated rule.
2 But grace within his breast had stirred;
There needed but the timely word:
It came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
That royal summons, 'Follow me.'
3 Enough, when thou wast passing by,
To hear thy voice, to meet thine eye:
He rose, responsive to the call,
And left his task, his gains, his all.
4 O wise exchange! with these to part,
And lay up treasure in the heart--
Who now with crown of light doth shine
Among the apostolic line.
5 Come, Saviour, as in days of old;
Pass where the world has strongest hold,
And faithless care and selfish greed
Are thorns that choke the holy seed.
6 Who keep thy gifts, O bid them claim
The steward’s, not the owner’s name;
Who yield up all for thy dear sake,
Let them of Matthew’s wealth partake. Topics: St. Matthew September 21st; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: ALFRETON
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #273 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Person Name: William Bright, 1824-1901 Lyrics: 1 And now, O Father, mindful of the love
That bought us, once for all, on Calvary's tree,
And having with us him that pleads above,
We here present, we here spread forth to thee
That only offering perfect in thine eyes,
The one true, pure, immortal sacrifice.
2 Look, Father, look on his anointed face,
And only look on us as found in him;
Look not on our misusings of thy grace,
Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim;
For lo, between our sins and their reward
We set the passion of thy Son our Lord.
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
By this prevailing presence we appeal;
O fold them closer to thy mercy's breast,
O do thine utmost for their souls' true weal;
From tainting mischief keep them white and clear
And crown thy gifts with grace to persevere.
4 And so we come: O draw us to thy feet
Most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
And by this food, so aweful and so sweet,
Deliver us from every touch of ill:
In thine own service make us glad and free,
And grant us nevermore to part from thee. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES
And now, O Father, mindful of the love
Once, only once, and once for all
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #304 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Bright, 1824-1901 Lyrics: 1 Once, only once, and once for all,
His precious life he gave;
Before the Cross in faith we fall,
And own it strong to save.
2 'One offering, single and complete,'
With lips and hearts we say;
But what he never can repeat
He shows forth day by day.
3 For as the priest of Aaron’s line
Within the holiest stood,
And sprinkled all the mercy-shrine
With sacrificial blood;
4 So he, who once atonement wrought,
Our Priest of endless power,
Presents himself for those he bought
In that dark noontide hour.
5 His Manhood pleads where now it lives
On heaven’s eternal throne,
And where in mystic rite he gives
Its presence to his own.
6 And so we show thy death, O Lord,
Till thou again appear,
And feel, when we approach thy board,
We have an altar here. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: ALBANO
Once, only once, and once for all
Still throned in heaven, to men in unbelief
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: NEH1985 #454 (1986) Meter: 10.6.10.6 Person Name: William Bright, 1824-1901 Lyrics: 1 Still throned in heaven, to men in unbelief
Christ spreads his hands all day;
They scan his claims, give judgement cold and brief,
And fearless turn away.
2 Once more, O peerless mystery of grace,
Thy sweet appeal renew;
Light up dark minds, win souls to thine embrace,
High forts of doubt subdue.
3 Speak, till the sons of men with hearts unseared,
Led by that voice of thine,
Find thee each day more glorious, more endeared,
Christ human, Christ divine. Languages: English Tune Title: LUX VERA
Still throned in heaven, to men in unbelief
O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: NEH1985 #32 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep And dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
2 O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king,
And peace to men on earth;
For Christ is born of Mary;
And, gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him ,still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 *Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessèd Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
✗ 5 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
✗ Descant version overleaf. Topics: The Christian Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

Author: Simon Browne, 1680-1732 Hymnal: NEH1985 #347 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Simon Browne, 1680-1732 Lyrics: 1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be thou our guardian, thou our guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose thy way;
Plant faith and love in every heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart.
3 Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
Nor let us from our shepherd stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That brings us to our home in God.
4 Lead us to heaven, that we may share
Fulness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to God, the heart's true rest,
To dwell with him, for ever blest. Topics: Pentecost or Whitsunday; Confirmation Languages: English Tune Title: HAWKHURST
