O Christ, the Word Incarnate

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 483 hymnals Matching Instances: 154 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Word Incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky; we praise thee for the radiance that from the scripture's page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from our dear Master received the word divine, and still that light is lifted o'er all the earth to shine. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging sea, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to thee. 3 O make thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see thee face to face.

I bring my guilt to Jesus To wash my crimson stains Clean in His blood most precious Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fulness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases; My soul He does redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases; He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces; I on His breast recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: 1 John 1:7 Used With Tune: MUNICH

I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me-- The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear. My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! 5 O let me see Thy footmarks And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heav'n receive me, My Savior and my Friend! Amen.

We sing the glorious conquest

Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 28 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest Before Damascus gate, When Saul, the Church's spoiler, Came breathing threats and hate; The ravening wolf rushed forward Full early for the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast to-day. 2 Oh, glory most excelling That smote across his path! Oh, light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! Oh, voice that spake within him The calm, reproving word! Oh, love that sought and held him The bondman of his Lord! 3 O Wisdom ordering all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder E'er wrought at Thine employ Than he, till now so furious Thy building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach Thy Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger, To trust Thy hidden power: Thy grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in Thy boldest foeman Thy chosen saint can find. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Conversion of St. Paul Used With Tune: MUNICH
