To keep my heart from sin;
Ever reflecting His goodness,
And always shine for Him. (Chorus)

Then live for Him on high. (Chorus)

To dwell upon thy grace.

Manifestation t othe Gentiles
Meter: Irregular Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-23 First Line: Sons of men, behold from far Lyrics: 1 Sons of men, behold from far,
Hail the long expected star;
Jacob's star that gilds the night,
Guides bewilder'd nature right.
2 Fear not hence that there shall flow
Wars, or pestilence below;
Wars are quell'd and tumults cease,
As appears the Prince of Peace.
3 Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing thro' the shades of death;
Scatt'ring error’s wide spread night,
Kindling darkness into light.
4 Nations all, far off and near,
Haste to see your Lord appear;
Haste, for him your hearts prepare,
Meet him manifested there.
5 There behold the day spring rise,
Pouring eye sight on your eyes;
God in his own light survey,
Shining to the perfect day.
6 Sing ye morning stars again;
God descends on earth to reign!
Deigns for man his life t' employ,
Shout ye sons of God, for joy.

God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: John 12:23-24 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year,
God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west, wherever feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God,
'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase
the love of God in all mankind, the reign of the Prince of peace?
What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea?
4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world;
fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Topics: Advent III Year B; New Year Used With Tune: BENSON

Closer to Thine;
Breathe into every wish
Thy will divine;
Raised my low self above,
Won by Thy deathless love,
Ever, O Christ, through mine
Let Thy life shine.

One with Thine own,
Joyful to follow Thee
Through paths unknown:
In Thee my strength renew;
Give me Thy work to do;
Through me Thy truth be shown,
Thy love made known.
3 Not for myself alone
May my prayer be;
Lift Thou Thy world, O Christ,
Closer to Thee;
Cleanse it from guilt and wrong;
Teach it salvation's song,
Till earth, as heaven, fulfill
God's holy will.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. EDMUND
