We Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 469 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad
and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 We sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he formed the creatures with his word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread
or gaze upon the skies.
3 There's not a plant or flower below
but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be,
you, God, are present there.

When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left his Father's throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like him may we be found below,
In wisdom's paths of peace;
Like him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2 Sweet were his words and kind his look,
When mothers round him pressed;
Their infants in his arms he took,
And on his bosom blessed.
Safe from the world's alluring harms,
Beneath his watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of his arms
May we for ever lie.
3 When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strowed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior's praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Topics: Jesus Christ; Palm/Passion Sunday Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O sing a song of Bethlehem,
Of shepherds watching there,
And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.
2. O sing a song of Nazareth,
Of sunny days of joy,
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
And of the sinless Boy;
For now the flow'rs of Nazareth
In ev'ry heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear name
On all the winds that blow.
3. O sing a song of Galilee,
Of lake and woods and hil,
Of Him who walked upon the sea
And bade its waves be still;
For tho' like waves on Galilee,
Dark seas of trouble roll,
When faith has heard the Master's word,
Falls peace upon the soul.
4. O sing a song of Calvary,
Its glory and dismay;
Of Him who hung upon the tree
And took our sins away.
For He who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave,
And Christ, our Lord, by heav'n adored,
Is mighty now to save. Scripture: Luke 2:11 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

I Feel the Winds of God Today
Author: Jessie Adams Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today;
Today my sail I lift,
Though heavy, oft with drenching spray,
And torn with many a rift;
If hope but light the water’s crest,
And Christ my bark will use,
I’ll seek the seas at His behest,
And brave another cruise.
2 It is the wind of God that dries
My vain, regretful tears,
Until with braver thoughts shall rise
The purer, brighter years;
If cast on shores of selfish ease
Or pleasure I should be,
Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze,
And I’ll put back to sea.
3 If ever I forget Thy love
And how that love was shown,
Lift high the blood red flag above;
It bears Thy name alone.
Great Pilot of my onward way,
Thou wilt not let me drift;
I feel the winds of Go
Amen. Topics: Dedication of Life; Invitation to Consecration; Pilgrimage, Christian; Youth Hymns Scripture: Luke 5:4 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Come, Let Us Use the Grace Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 153 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let us use the grace divine,
and all with one accord,
in a perpetual covenant
join ourselves to Christ the Lord;
Give up ourselves, thru Jesus' power,
his name to glorify;
and promise, in this sacred hour,
for God to live and die.
2. The covenant we this moment make
be ever kept in mind;
we will no more our God forsake,
or cast these words behind.
We never will throw off the fear
of God who hears our vow;
and if thou art well pleased to hear,
come down and meet us now.
3. Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
let all our hearts receive,
present with thy celestial host
the peaceful answer give;
to each covenant the blood apply
which takes our sins away,
and register our names on high
and keep us to that day!

My God, I Love Thee
Author: Francis Xavier, 16th cent.; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 208 hymnals First Line: My God, I love Thee, not because Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because
I hope for heav'n thereby,
nor yet for fear that loving not
I might forever die;
but for that Thou didst all mankind
upon the cross embrace;
for us didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace;
2 And griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
e'en death itself, and all for man,
who was Thine enemy.
Then why, most loving Jesus Christ,
should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heav'n,
nor any fear of hell;
3 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
nor seeking a reward,
but as Thyself hast loved me,
O ever loving Lord!
E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
and in Thy praise will sing,
solely because Thou art my God
and my eternal King! Topics: Salvation Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

To Mock Your Reign
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns;
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They could not know, as we do now,
how glorious is that crown;
that thorns would flower upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak;
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They could not know, as we do now,
that though we merit blame,
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all. Scripture: Matthew 27:27-41 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Your Hand, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward H. Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed o'er disease and death,
All darkness and the grave.
To you they came, the blind, the dumb,
The paralyzed and lame,
The lepers in their misery,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 Your touch then, Lord, brought life and health,
Gave speech and strength and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Revealed you, Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as before,
In crowded street, by beds of pain,
As by Gennes'ret's shore.
3 Oh, be our great deliv'rer still,
The Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
With your life-giving breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's healing pow'r
That whole and sick and weak and strong
May praise you evermore. Topics: Social Concern; Social Concern Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
