Genesis 28:10-22

Author: Mrs. S. F. Adams Hymnal: LD1890 #315 (1890) Person Name: Mrs. S. F. Adams First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! Ev'n though it be a cross That raiseth me! Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 2 Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven: All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LD1890 #122 (1890) Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When, in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise; For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

Alderson First Line: Lord of glory! thou hast bought us Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory! thou hast bought us, With thy life-blood as the price, Never trudging, for the lost ones, That tremendous sacrifice. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord! to yield thee Gladly, freely, of thine own; With the sunshine of thy goodness, Melt our thankless hearts of stone. 3 Wondrous honor hast thou given To our humblest charity, In thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto me!" 4 Give us faith, to trust thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on thee: But, oh, best of all thy graces Give us thine own charity.

"The child Jesus"

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: LD1890 #137 (1890) Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander First Line: Once in royal David's city 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 lowly, poor, and mean, Lived on earth our Saviour then. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor 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 Oh, our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our God in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 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 crowned All in white shall wait around.

There is a green hill far away

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: LD1890 #167 (1890) Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 2 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 3 Oh, dearly, dearly, has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. For there's a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all.

The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: LD1890 #189 (1890) Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead, And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

Alexander First Line: O Jesus! bruised and wounded more Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! bruised and wounded more Than bursted grape, or bread of wheat, The Life of life within our souls, The Cup of our salvation sweet! 2 We come to show thy dying hour, Thy streaming vein, thy broken flesh; And still the blood is warm to save, And still the fragrant wounds are fresh. 3 O Heart! that, with a double tide Of blood and water, maketh pure; O Flesh! once offered on the cross, The gift that makes our pardon sure; 4 Let never more our sinful souls The anguish of thy cross renew; Nor forge again the cruel nails, That pierced thy victim body through. 5 Come, Bread of heaven, to feed our souls, And with thee, Jesus enter in! Come, Wine of God! and as we drink, His precious blood wash out our sin!

Alexander First Line: O sacred Head, now wounded Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns, thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss, till now was thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain; Lo, here I fall, my Saviour! 'Tis I deserved thy place; Look on me with thy favor, Vouchsafe to me thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow, To thank thee, dearest Friend, For this, thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Lord, make me thine for ever, Nor let me faithless prove; Oh, let me never, never, Abuse such dying love.
