Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Hymnal: NEP2006 #600 (2006) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing,
Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of his people's prayer?
2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices
Shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb;
Surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices,
Glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come!
3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him?
This shall he do, and can we still despair?
Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him,
Cast at his feet the burden of our care.
4 Through life and death, through sorrow and through sinning,
He shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed:
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

Alleluya, song of sweetness
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEP2006 #605 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Alleluya, song of sweetness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluya is the anthem
Ever dear to choirs on high:
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluya thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluya, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee;
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we.
3 Alleluya cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluya our transgressions
Make us for awhile forgo;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray thee,
Grant us, blessèd Trinity,
At the last to keep thine Easter
In our home beyond the sky,
There to thee for ever singing
Alleluya joyfully. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphany to Lent; Sunday Before Lent Languages: English Tune Title: COLLAUDEMUS

When, rising from the bed of death
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEP2006 #609a (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I view my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought;
2 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgement on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
But thou hast told the troubled mind
Who does her sins lament,
The timely tribute of her tears,
Shall endless woe prevent.
3 Then see the sorrow of my heart,
Ere yet it be too late;
And hear my Saviour’s dying groans,
To give those sorrows weight.
For never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows thine only Son has died
To make her pardon sure. Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY

Finished the strife of battle now

Jesus Christ has harrowed hell!

Shining with victory o’er his foes;
Earth is singing, heaven is ringing:
Alleluya, alleluya!

Heaven is open evermore!

So from ill death to set us free,

Our Lord, his Passion ended
Author: F. C. Burkitt, 1864-1935 Hymnal: NEP2006 #611 (2006) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Our Lord, his Passion ended
Hath gloriously ascended,
Yet though from him divided,
He leaves us not unguided;
All his benefits to crown
He hath sent his Spirit down,
Burning like a flame of fire
His disciples to inspire.
2 God's Spirit is directing;
No more they sit expecting;
But forth to all the nation
They go with exultation;
That which God in them hath wrought
Fills their life and soul and thought;
So their witness now can do
Work as great in others too.
3 The centuries go gliding,
But still we have abiding
With us that Spirit holy
To make us brave and lowly -
Lowly, for we feel our need:
God alone is strong indeed;
Brave, for with the Spirit's aid
We can venture unafraid.
4 O Lord of every nation,
Fill us with inspiration;
We know our own unfitness;
Yet for thee would bear witness.
By the Spirit now we raise
To the heavenly Father praise:
Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
Make us know thee, ever One. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Pentecost; Whit Sunday (Pentecost) Languages: English Tune Title: NAPHILL

The day comes round once more
Which with our patron’s radiance
Is bright as heretofore.
Now, strong in hope, united
His festival we greet;
He will present our troubles
Before the mercy-seat.
2 The Scriptures tell how Moses
Did for the people pray,
Appeased the Judge eternal,
And turned his wrath away;
Elijah’s prayer had power,
To close and open heaven;
Such Saints as were aforetime,
Such Saints to us are given.
3 O saint of God, belovèd,
And placed on his right hand,
Thy prayers be like a rampart
As ’gainst the foe we stand;
For Abraham’s God is thy God,
And Isaac’s God is thine,
Thine is the God of Jacob,
The Lord of power benign.
4 For forty years his Israel
He fed with Angels’ food;
The flinty rock he opened
The streams of water flowed.
Entreat that Christ his people
May lead to victory:
The God of Joshua’s triumph
The Lord thy God is he. Topics: The Christian Year Holy Days: General Languages: English Tune Title: TEWKESBURY ABBEY
