Glory to You, My God
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,047 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 Year C First Line: Glory to you, my God, this night Lyrics: 1 Glory to you, my God, this night,
for all the blessings of the light;
keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
beneath your own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, God, through your dear Son,
the wrong that I this day have done;
that peace with you and all may be,
before I sleep, restored to me.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
the grave as little as my bed;
teach me to die, so that I may
rise glorious at the awesome day.
4 O may my soul on you repose,
and restful sleep mine eyelids close,
sleep that shall me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
in heaven above and earth below;
our God, three persons we adore --
be praises given for evermore.

God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Topics: Year A Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill
he treasures up his bright designs,
and works his sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds ye so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
but trust him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence
he hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flow'r.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
and scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Scripture: Daniel 2:22 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Hearts' Desire
Author: J. Chandler, 1806-76 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire,
Redemption's only spring!
Creator of the world art Thou,
Its Savior and its King,
Its Savior and its King.
2 How vast the mercy and the love
Which laid our sins on Thee,
And led Thee to a cruel death
To set Thy people free,
To set Thy people free!
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid!
And Thou art on Thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed,
In glorious robes arrayed.
4 O may Thy mighty love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare!
O may we come before thy throne
And find acceptance there,
And find acceptance there!
5 O Christ, be Thou our lasting joy,
Our future great reward;
Our only glory may it be
To glory in the Lord,
To glory in the Lord!

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Year C Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of clan and race,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
O Christ, we hear your voice of grace.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrows' stress,
we know your heart does not recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
Yet long these multitudes to view
the deep compassion of your face.
5 O Savior, from the mountainside,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again:
6 Till all shall learn compassion's might,
And follow where your feet have trod,
Till glorious from your realm of light
Shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Luke 19:41 Used With Tune: GERMANY (GARDINER)

Oh, Love, How Deep
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1820-1885; Thomas á Kempis, 1380-1471 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 First Line: Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
For us his daily works he wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us he gave his dying breath.
6 For us he rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us he sent his Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore. Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS
Oh, Love, How Deep

the wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, so that I may feed
your hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths which you impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my very heart o'erflows
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show. Used With Tune: WINSCOTT

With rev'rence and with fear.
Though dust and ashes in your sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
Oh, grant us pow'r to pray.
And when to meet you we prepare,
Lord, meet us on our way.
3 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give;
A strong, desire, with confidence,
To hear your voice and live;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
That can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
On Christ, on Christ alone.
5 Give these, and then your will be done;
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, through your Spirit and your Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright. Used With Tune: SONG 67

Alleluia! Gracious Jesus!
Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 215 hymnals Topics: Year A Easter 7; Year B Easter 7; Year C Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Gracious Jesus!
Yours the scepter, yours the throne!
Alleluia! Yours the triumph,
yours the victory alone!
Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion
thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation
you've redeemed us by your blood.
2 Alleluia! Not as orphans
are we left in sorrow now.
Alleluia! You are near us;
faith believes, nor questions how.
Though the cloud from sight received you,
when the forty days were o'er,
shall our hearts forget your promise,
"I am with you evermore."
3 Alleluia! Bread of angels,
you on earth our food, our stay.
Alleluia! Here the sinful
flee to you from day to day.
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
earth's Redeemer, plead for me,
and the songs that sound in heaven
will repeat your gracious plea.
4 Alleluia! Christ eternal,
nothing can disrupt your reign;
Alleluia! Born of Mary,
heaven and earth are your domain.
Human life you fully entered,
tending those we count the least,
serving both as Priest and Victim
in the eucharistic feast.
Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
Alleluia! Gracious Jesus!
