A great and mighty wonder
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; St. Germanus, c.634 - 734 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #18 (1958) Lyrics: 1 A great and might wonder
This joyful feast-day brings;
The Virgin bears the Infant,
Our Lord, and King of Kings.
2 The Word becomes incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant
Repeat the hymn again,
'To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!'
4 While thus they sing your Monarch
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!
5 Since all he comes to ransom,
By all be he adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Saviour and the Lord!
6 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His sceptre,
Our Lord and God for aye. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
A great and mighty wonder
Brief life is here our portion
Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #69 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics:
Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there!
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest,
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
There grief is turned to pleasure;
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know;
And after fleshly weakness,
And after this world's night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm, and joy, and light.
And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
And he whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see him
Shall have him for their own.
And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Sion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;
But there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow.
The morning shall awaken,
The shadows flee away,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day;
For God our King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.
O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest
Who art with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen.

We praise Thy grace, O Saviour
Author: W. W. How Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #154 (1920) Lyrics: 1 We praise Thy grace, O Saviour
That beareth with us long,
And ever out of weakness
Thy servants maketh strong.
2 The saint, who left his comrades,
And turned back from the fight,
Behold at last victorious
In Thy prevailing might!
3 From Thee, Lord, came the courage,
Once more to front the host:
Thy strength, most mighty Saviour,
In weakness shineth most.
4 Thy love Saint Mark hath numbered
Among the blessed Four,
And all the world rejoiceth
To learn His Gospel-lore.
5 O Lord, our human weakness
With pitying eye behold;
Uplift the fainting spirit,
And make the coward bold.
6 O Jesus, glorious Victor
O'er all the hosts of sin,
In us Thy strength make perfect;
In us the victory win. Topics: Holy Days St. Mark Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE

The voice that breath'd o'er Eden
Author: J. Keble Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #240a (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o'er Eden,
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.
2 Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid,
The holy Three are with us,
The threefold grace is said.
3 Be present, awful Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side:
4 Be present, Son of Mary,
To join their loving hands,
As thou didst bind two natures
In thine eternal bands!
5 Be present, holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As thou, for Christ the Bridegroom,
The heavenly Spouse dost seal!
6 Oh, spread Thy pure wing o'er them,
Let no ill power find place,
When onward to Thine altar
Their hallowed path they trace,
7 To cast their crowns before Thee
In perfect sacrifice,
Till to the home of gladness
With Christ's own Bride they rise.
Amen. Topics: Holy Matrimony; Holy Matrimony Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
