can cure the fever in our blood,

in full obedience to our Lord:
to care for all without reserve
and spread Christ's liberating word. Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

All My Hope on God Is Founded
Author: Joachim Neander; Robert Bridges Hymnal: Voices United #655 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Topics: Proper 21 Year C Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded;
who doth still my trust renew:
I through change and chance am guided,
only good and only true.
God unknown,
God alone
calls my heart eternally home.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown, betray our trust;
what with care and toil is built up,
tower and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power,
hour by hour,
is my temple and my tower.
3 Daily doth the almighty giver
bounteous gifts on us bestow.
God's desire our soul delighteth,
pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
hand in hand;
joy doth wait on God's command.
4 God's great goodness eye endureth,
deepest wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attending,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore
from God's store
new-born worlds rise and adore. Tune Title: MICHAEL

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.

with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Scripture: John 1:16 Languages: English Tune Title: ST PETER

let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure:
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone:
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: Exodus 33:12-23 Languages: English Tune Title: PETRA

2 At his voice creation

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #65 (2000) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Year C Proper 21 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from burning heart at noontide
and the burden of the day.
2 O safe and happy shelter!
O refuge tried and sweet!
O trysting place where heaven's love
and heaven's justice meet!
As to the holy patriarch
that wondrous dream was given,
so seems my Saviour's cross to me
a ladder up to heav'n.
3 There lies, beneath its shadow
but on the farther side,
the darkness of an awful grave
that gapes both deep and wide;
and there between us stands the cross,
two arms outstretched to save;
a watchman set to guard the way
from that eternal grave.
4 Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eyes at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my strikes heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess -
the wonders of redeeming love,
and my unworthiness.
5 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place!
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to reckon gain as loss -
my sinful self, my only shame,
my glory all - the cross. Scripture: Genesis 28:10-19 Languages: English Tune Title: ST CHRISTOPHER

Creator of the starry height
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #135 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Year A Proper 21 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the starry height,
thy people's everlasting light,
Jesu, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst come to save our fallen race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.
3 When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst, in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a virgin-mother's womb.
4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.
5 To thee, O Holy One, we pray,
our judge in that tremendous day,
ward off, while yet we dwell below,
the weapons of our crafty foe.
6 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen.
