When the Lord of Love was here
Author: Rev. Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832-1916) Hymnal: The Hymnal #141 (1950) Meter: 7.7.5 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Life and Ministry Lyrics: 1 When the Lord of Love was here,
Happy hearts to Him were dear,
Though His heart was sad;
Worn and lonesome for our sake,
Yet he turned aside to make
All the weary glad.
2 Meek and lowly were His ways,
From His loving grew His praise,
From His giving, prayer;
All the outcast thronged to hear,
All the sorrowful drew near
To enjoy His care.
3 When he walked the fields, He drew
From the flowers and birds and dew
Parables of God;
For within His heart of love
All the soul of man did move,
God had His abode.
4 Lord, be ours Thy power to keep
In the very heart of grief,
And in trial, love;
In our meekness to be wise,
And through sorrows to arise
To our God above.
5 Fill us with Thy deep desire
All the sinful to inspire
With the Father’s life;
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness,
From the fret and strife.
Amen. Tune Title: WINDRUSH
When the Lord of Love was here
The day of resurrection!
Author: Rev. John M. Neale; John of Damascus (8th century) Hymnal: The Hymnal #166 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Resurrection Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From this world to the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection light;
And, listening to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin;
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen. Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
The day of resurrection!

The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Hymnal #195 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord Praise to Christ the Lord Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of Kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light:
3 The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The wonder of His love.
Amen. Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Author: Rev. Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Hymnal #197a (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord Praise to Christ the Lord Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.

Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
4 To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
5 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
Amen. Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALL' (GRÄFENBERG)

Saviour, blessed Saviour
Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal #202 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord Praise to Christ the Lord Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen while we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.
All we have we offer,
All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to Thee.
2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee:
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.
3 Clearer still, and clearer,
Dawns the light from heaven,
In our sadness bringing
News of sins forgiven;
Life has lost its shadows;
Pure the light within;
Thou hast shed Thy radiance
On a world of sin.
4 Great, and ever greater,
Are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain or sorrow,
Toil or care, is known,
Where the angel legions
Circle round Thy throne.
Amen. Tune Title: DAVID
Saviour, blessed Saviour
O could I speak the matchless worth
Author: Rev. Samuel Medley Hymnal: The Hymnal #203 (1950) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord Praise to Christ the Lord Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Saviour shine,
I'd sing His glorious righteousness,
And magnify the wondrous grace
Which made salvation mine,
Which made salvation mine.
2 I'd sing the characters He bears,
And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on His throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all His glories known,
Make all His glories known.
3 Soon, the delightful day will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see His face;
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in His grace,
Triumphant in His grace.
Amen. Tune Title: ARIEL
O could I speak the matchless worth
Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Author: Frederick William Henry Myers (1843-1901) Hymnal: The Hymnal #110 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Advent 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 So even I, and with a pang more thrilling,
So even I, and with a hope more sweet,
Yearn for the sign, O Christ, of Thy fulfilling,
Faint for the flaming of Thine advent feet.
4 Yea, through life, 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.
Amen. Tune Title: WELWYN
Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #111 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Advent Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth;
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.
4 O'er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all blest;
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand forever—
That Name to us is Love.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Tune Title: TOURS
