speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent;
save us, your people, from consuming passion,
who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
still let your Spirit unto us be given
to heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife.

showing to wandering souls the path of light:
walk now beside us lest the tempting byways
lure us away from you to endless night.

from death and dark despair, from sin and guilt:
we render back the love your mercy gave us;
take now our lives, with them your kingdom build.

who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
we would be faithful to your gospel glorious.

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Voices United #326 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Proper 28 Year C Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and king,
the triumphs of God's grace.
2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
3 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, you deaf, you voiceless ones,
your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!
5 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Tune Title: AZMON
O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
As With Gladness Men of Old
Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: Voices United #81 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Proper 28 Year A; Proper 28 Year B Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright,
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your splendour see.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
to that lowly manger bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with eager pace
ever seek your throne of grace.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way;
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright
none shall need created light;
you its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there forever may we sing
hallelujah to our King. Languages: English Tune Title: DIX
As With Gladness Men of Old
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Voices United #681 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 28 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. Languages: English Tune Title: FULDA
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

the wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, so that I may feed
your hungering ones with manna sweet.

the precious truths which you impart;

the hidden depths of many a heart.

until my very heart o'erflows
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show. Languages: English Tune Title: WINSCOTT

O Love, How Deep
Author: Benjamin Webb Hymnal: Voices United #348 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Proper 28 Year B First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, in Jesus Christ, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 God sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and freely to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
a holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharply knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us great daily works were wrought,
by words, and signs, and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked foes betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his 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 To God whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through the Son,
to God all praise and glory be
both now and through eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
O Love, How Deep
God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: Voices United #686 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Proper 28 Year A Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
now fulfil your church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn your Christ, assail your ways;
fears and doubts too long have bound us;
free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure your children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton selfish gladness,
rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss your kingdom's goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
gird our lives that they may be
armoured with all Christ-like graces,
pledged to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
that we fail not them nor thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN
God of Grace and God of Glory
