You are the Christ, O Lord

the Son of God most high!
For ever be adored
that Name in earth and sky,
in which, though mortal strength may fail,
the saints of God at last prevail!
2. Oh! Peter was most blest
with blessedness unpriced,
who, taught of God, confessed
the Godhead in the Christ!

this saint a true foundation-stone. Languages: English Tune Title: WYNGATE CANON

before Damascus' gate,
when Saul, the church's spoiler
came breathing fear and hate.
God's light shone down from heaven
and broke cross the path.
His presence pierced and blinded
the zealot in his wrath.
2. O voice that spake within him;
O strong, reproving Word;
O Love that sought and held him
a prisoner of his Lord;
help us to know your kingship
that we, in every hour,
in all that may confront us,
will trust your hidden power.
3. Your grace, by ways mysterious,
our sinful wrath can bind,
and in those least expected
true servants you can find.
In us you seek disciples
to share your cross and crown
and give you final service
in glory at your throne.

blessed was she in her Child. Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 86

of faith and humble name.

where saints and angels throng,
beside his spouse, before the Son,
he joins the heavenly song. Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL
