StF 340

  1. Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim,
    and publish abroad his wonderful name;
    the name all-victorious of Jesus extol;
    his kingdom is glorious, and rules over all.
  1. God ruleth on high, almighty to save;
    and still he is nigh, his presence we have;
    the great congregation his triumph shall sing,
    ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.
  1. ‘Salvation to God who sits on the throne!'
    Let all cry aloud, and honour the Son;
    the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
    fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.
  1. Then let us adore, and give him his right;
    all glory and power, all wisdom and might,
    all honour and blessing, with angels above,
    and thanks never-ceasing, and infinite love.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

StF 489

  1. All I once held dear,
    built my life upon,
    all this world reveres,
    and wars to own,
    all I once thought gain
    I have counted loss;
    spent and worthless now,
    compared to this.

Knowing you, Jesus,
knowing you,
there is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
you're my joy, my righteousness,
and I love you, Lord.

  1. Now my heart's desire
    is to know you more,
    to be found in you
    and known as yours.
    To possess by faith
    what I could not earn,
    all-surpassing gift
    of righteousness.
  1. Oh, to know the power
    of your risen life,
    and to know you in
    your sufferings.
    To become like you
    in your death, my Lord,
    so with you to live
    and never die.

StF 359

  1. Lord Christ, we praise your sacrifice,
    your life in love so freely given.
    For those who took your life away
    you prayed: that they might be forgiven;
    and there, in helplessness arrayed,
    God's power was perfectly displayed.
  1. Once helpless in your mother's arms,
    dependent on her mercy then;
    at last, by choice, in other hands,
    you were as helpless once again;
    and, at their mercy, crucified,
    you claimed your victory and died.
  1. Though helpless and rejected then,
    you're now as risen Lord acclaimed;
    for ever by your sacrifice
    is God's eternal love proclaimed:
    the love which, dying, brings to birth
    new life and hope for all on earth.
  1. So, living Lord, prepare us now
    your willing helplessness to share;
    to give ourselves in sacrifice
    to overcome the world's despair;
    in love to give ourselves away
    and claim your victory today.

StF 255

  1. The kingdom of God
    is justice and joy,
    for Jesus restores
    what sin would destroy;
    God's power and glory
    in Jesus we know,
    and here and hereafter
    the kingdom shall grow.
  1. The kingdom of God
    is mercy and grace,
    the prisoners are freed,
    the sinners find place,
    the outcast are welcomed
    God's banquet to share,
    and hope is awakened
    in place of despair.
  1. The kingdom of God
    is challenge and choice,
    believe the good news,
    repent and rejoice!
    His love for us sinners
    brought Christ to his cross,
    our crisis of judgement
    for gain or for loss.
  1. God's kingdom is come,
    the gift and the goal,
    in Jesus begun,
    in heaven made whole;
    the heirs of the kingdom
    shall answer his call,
    and all things cry glory
    to God all in all!

StF 677

  1. Christ is made the sure foundation,
    Christ the head and corner-stone,
    chosen of the Lord, and precious,
    binding all the Church in one,
    holy Zion's help for ever,
    and her confidence alone.
  1. To this temple, where we call thee,
    come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
    with thy constant loving-kindness
    hear thy servants as they pray;
    and thy fullest benediction
    shed within its walls alway.
  1. Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
    what they ask of thee to gain,
    what they gain from thee for ever
    with the blessèd to retain,
    and hereafter in thy glory
    evermore with thee to reign.
  1. Praise and honour to the Father,
    praise and honour to the Son,
    praise and honour to the Spirit,
    ever Three, and ever One,
    consubstantial, co-eternal,
    while unending ages run.

7th or 8th century

StF 250

  1. Jesus calls us!  O'er the tumult
    of our life's wild restless sea,
    day by day his voice is sounding,
    saying: ‘Christian, follow me.’
  1. As of old apostles heard it
    by the Galilean lake,
    turned from home and toil and kindred,
    leaving all for his dear sake.
  1. Jesus calls us from the worship
    of the vain world's golden store,
    from each idol that would keep us,
    saying: ‘Christian, love me more.’
  1. In our joys and in our sorrows,
    days of toil and hours of ease,
    still he calls, in cares and pleasures:
    ‘Christian, love me more than these.’
  1. Jesus calls us!  By your mercies,
    Saviour, may we hear your call,
    give our hearts to your obedience,
    serve and love you best of all.

Cecil Frances Alexander (1818–1895)

StF 51

  1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
    there is no shadow of turning with thee;
    thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
    as thou hast been thou for ever wilt be:

Great is thy faithfulness!  Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

  1. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
    sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
    join with all nature in manifold witness
    to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love:
  1. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
    thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
    strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
    blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

StF 465

  1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
    pilgrim through this barren land;
    I am weak, but thou art mighty;
    hold me with thy powerful hand:
    Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
    feed me now and evermore;
    feed me now and evermore.
  1. Open thou the crystal fountain
    whence the healing stream shall flow;
    let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    lead me all my journey through:
    strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
    be thou still my strength and shield;
    be thou still my strength and shield.
  1. When I tread the verge of Jordan
    bid my anxious fears subside;
    death of death, and hell's destruction,
    land me safe on Canaan's side:
    songs of praises, songs of praises,
    I will ever give to thee;
    I will ever give to thee.

William Williams (1717–1791)
translated by Peter Williams (1727–1796)

StF 481

  1. The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;
    he makes me lie in pastures green,
    he leads me by the still, still waters,
    his goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in you alone,
and I will trust in you alone,
for your endless mercy follows me,
your goodness will lead me home.

  1. He guides my ways in righteousness,
    and he anoints my head with oil;
    and my cup — it overflows with joy,
    I feast on his pure delights.
  1. And though I walk the darkest path —
    I will not fear the evil one,
    for you are with me, and your rod and staff
    are the comfort I need to know.

StF 323

  1. I will sing the wondrous story
    of the Christ who died for me,
    how he left the realms of glory
    for the cross on Calvary:

Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me,
sing it with his saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.

  1. I was lost; but Jesus found me,
    found the sheep that went astray,
    raised me up, and gently led me
    back into the narrow way:
  1. Faint was I, and fears possessed me,
    bruised was I from many a fall;
    hope was gone, and shame distressed me;
    but his love has pardoned all:
  1. Days of darkness still come o'er me;
    sorrow's paths I often tread;
    but the Saviour still is with me,
    by his hand I'm safely led:
  1. He will keep me till the river
    rolls its waters at my feet;
    then he'll bear me safely over,
    where the loved ones I shall meet:
