Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #61 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! Salute the happy morn, whereon the Saviour of the world was born; rise to adore the mystery of love, which hosts of angels chanted from above; with them the joyful tidings were begun of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard the angelic herald's voice: 'Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth to you and all the nations upon earth: this day hath God fulfilled his promised word, this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.' 3 He spake, and straightway the celestial choir in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth, and unto men good will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran, to see the wonder God had wrought for man, and found, with Joseph and the blessed Maid, her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid: then to their flocks, still praising God, return, and their glad hearts with holy rapture burn. 5 O may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind; trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, from his poor manger to his bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song: he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, incessant we shall sing eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.

Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #385 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Pray for the church afflicted and oppressed, for all who suffer for the gospel's sake, that Christ may show us how to serve them best in that one kingdom Satan cannot shake. But how much more than us they have to give, who by their dying show us how to live. 2 Pray for Christ's dissidents, who daily wait, as Jesus waited in the olive grove, the unjust trial, the pre-determined fate, the world's contempt for reconciling love. Shall all they won for us, at such a cost, be by our negligence or weakness lost? 3 Pray that if times of testing should lay bare what sort we are, who call ourselves his own, we may be counted worthy then to wear, with quiet fortitude, Christ's only crown: the crown that in his saints he wears again — the crown of thorns that signifies his reign.

Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul: the tempests still obey — his voice, who ruled them once on Galilee. 3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

And now, O Father, mindful of the love

Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #571 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 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 strength 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 awful and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.
