Praise to the Holiest
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: Praise to the Holiest in the height Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight,
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 And that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.

Soldiers of Christ, arise
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 893 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soldiers of Christ, arise,
and put your armour on,
strong in the strength which God supplies
through his eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
and in his mighty pow'r;
who in the strength of Jesus trusts
is more than conqueror.
2 Stand then in his great might,
with all his strength endued;
and take, to arm you for the fight,
the panoply of God;
to keep your armour bright,
attend with constant care,
still walking in your Captain's sight
and watching unto prayer.
3 From strength to strength go on,
wrestle and fight and pray;
tread all the pow'rs of darkness down,
and win the well-fought day;
that, having all things done,
and all your conflicts past,
ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
and stand entire at last. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Year B Proper 16; Year C Proper 25 Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

The King of love my shepherd is

whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
and he is mine for ever.

my ransomed soul he leadeth,
and where the verdant pastures grow
with food celestial feedeth.

but yet in love he sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight,
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and O what transport of delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
thy goodness faileth never:
good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
within thy house for ever. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Grace and Providence; Year A Easter 4; Year A Proper 23; Year B Easter 4; Year B Proper 11; Year C Easter 4; Year C Proper 19 Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT ME

today the saints his triumphs spread,
and all his wonders tell.

to David's holy Son!
Make haste to help us, Lord, and bring
salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord: let us proclaim
his messages of grace;
who comes, in God his Father's name,
to save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the Church on earth can raise;
the highest heav'ns in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise.

Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 924 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
of our life's wild, restless sea;
day by day his sweet voice soundeth
saying, 'Christian, follow me.'
2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, 'Christian, love me more.'
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
that we love him more than these.
5 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies,
Savior, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thy obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Baptism; Evangelism; The Witnessing Community; Year A Epiphany 3 Scripture: Mark 1:16-20 Used With Tune: MERTON
