All my hope on God is founded

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #19 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Topics: Year B Proper 17; Year C Proper 17 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my towe'r. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL

You are our Lord! You shall forever reign! Languages: English Tune Title: DONNE SECOURS

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 17 Year C Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.

Earth, tell it out abroad; the passover of gladness, the passover of God!

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Voices United #262 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Proper 17 Year B Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper sure amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; power and malice great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth he has no equal. 2 Did we in our strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing: dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed the truth to triumph through us: the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.

And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end: O give me grace to follow, my Saviour and my friend. Languages: English Tune Title: DAY OF REST
