All my hope on God is founded 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. Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray God’s trust; what with lavish care man buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower.

3. God’s great goodness ay endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of nought. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore.

4. Still from man 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.

As I kneel before you 1. As I kneel before you, as I bow my head in prayer, take this day, make it yours and fill me with your love. Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu 2. All I have I give you, ev’ry dream and wish are yours; Mother of Christ, mother of mine, present them to my Lord. 3. As I kneel before you, and I see your smiling face, ev’ry thought, ev’ry word is lost in your embrace.

Maria Parkinson

As the deer longs As the deer longs for running streams, so I long, so I long, so I long for you.

1. Athirst my soul for you, the God who is my life! When shall I see, when shall I see, see the face of God?

2. Echoes meet as deep is calling unto deep, over my head, all your mighty waters, sweeping over me.

3. Continually the foe delights in taunting me: “Where is God, where is your God?” Where, O where are you?

4. Defend me God, send forth your light and your truth, they will lead me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place.

5. Then I shall go unto the altar of my God. Praising you, O my joy and gladness; I shall praise your name.

Bob Hurd

At the Cross 1. At the cross her station keeping, stood the mournful mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last.

2. Through her heart his sorrow sharing, all his bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed.

3. O thou mother! Fount of love!

Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord.

4. Make me feel as thou has felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ my Lord.

5. Let me mingle tears with thee, mourning him who mourn’d for me, all the days that I may live.

6. By the cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray, is all I ask of thee to give.

7. Virgin of all virgins best, listen to my fond request: let me share thy grief divine.

8. Let me, to my latest breath, in my body bear the death of that dying Son of thine.

9. Christ, when thou shalt call me hence, be thy mother my defence, be thy cross my victory.

10. While my body here decays, may my soul thy goodness praise, safe in paradise with thee.

Be thou my vision 1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, nought be all else to me save that thou art; thou my best thought in the day and the night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

2. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true Word; I ever with thee, and thou with me Lord; thou my great Father, and I thy true son; thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

3. Be thou my breast-plate, my sword for the fight; be thou my armour, and be thou my might, Be my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower, raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

4. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, thou mine inheritance now and always; thou, and thou only, the first in my heart, high King of heaven, my treasure thou art!

5. High King of heaven, when battle is done, grant heaven’s joy to me, bright heaven’s sun; Christ of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, thou Ruler of all.

Jan Struther

Because the Lord is my shepherd 1. Because the Lord is my shepherd, I have ev’rything I need. He lets me rest in the meadow and leads me to the quiet streams. He restores my soul and he leads me in the paths that are right: Lord, you are my shepherd, you are my friend. I want to follow you always, just to follow my friend. 2. And when the road leads to darkness, I shall walk there unafraid. Even when death is close I have courage for your help is there. You are close beside me with comfort, you are guiding my way: 3. In love you make me a banquet for my enemies to see. You make me welcome, pouring down honour from your mighty hand; and this joy fills me with gladness, it is too much to bear: 4. Your goodness always is with me and your mercy I know. Your loving kindness strengthens me always as I go through life. I shall dwell in your presence forever, giving praise to your name:

Integrity and justice with tenderness you shall know. 3. You shall sleep secure with peace; faithfulness will be your joy. 4. Come back to me with all your heart, don't let fear keep us apart.

Dear Lord and Father 1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways! Re-clothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives thy service find, In deeper reverence praise, in deeper reverence praise.

2. In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, the gracious calling of the Lord, let us, like them, without a word, rise up and follow thee, rise up and follow thee.

3. O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love, interpreted by love!

4. Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace, the beauty of thy peace.

5. Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm, O still small voice of calm!

J. G. Whittier

God of Compassion God of compassion, faithful in love God of all tenderness, pity us. Comfort your people, we pray

1. You who forgive our guilt, you who heal all our ills, save this life. You do not treat us as people of sinfulness, save your servant who trusts in you. 2. Constant your promise to love and be merciful, save this life. Treating us tenderly, mindful that we are dust, save your servant who trusts in you. 3. Short is our life, like the flowers that fade and die, save this life. Life everlasting you give to your faithful ones, save your servant who trusts in you.

Peter Jones

Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer 1. Guide me, O thou great Redeemer pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty, hold me with thy pow’rful hand: bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more.

2. Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow; let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through; strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, be thou still my strength and shield. 3. 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.

Let nothing troubleyou Let nothing trouble you or frighten you, for the one who has God lacks nothing. Let nothing trouble you or frighten you. God alone, God alone, God alone is enough.

1. If God builds the house nothing will shakeit; neither the storm nor the raging tide. For the one who builds lays the foundation; strong as the earth, deep as thesea.

2. Be God’s living stones, building God’s temple; shelter of light, with an open door. Be the dwelling place of God’s compassion, where there is love, God will bethere.

My soul is filled with joy (to the tune of Wild mountain thyme) 1. My soul is filled with joy as I sing to God my Saviour: he has looked upon his servant, he has visited his people

And holy is his name through all generations! Everlasting is his mercy to the people he has chosen, and holy is his name.

2. I am lowly as a child, but I know from this day forward that my name will be remembered, for all men will call me blessed.

3. I proclaim the pow’r of God! He does marvels for his servants; though he scatters the proud-hearted and destroys the might of princes.

4. To the hungry he gives food, sends the rich away empty. In his mercy he is mindful of the people he has chosen.

5. In his love he now fulfils what he promised to our fathers. I will praise the Lord, my saviour. Everlasting is his mercy.

Stephen Dean

Nada te turbe Nada te turbe, nada te espante. Quien a Dios tiene nada le falta. Nada te turbe, nada te espante, solo Dios basta. Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. Those who seek God shall never go wanting. Nothing can trouble, nothing can frighten. God alone fills us.

O let all who thirst 1. O let all who thirst, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let come to the Lord: without money, without price. Why should you pay the price, except for the Lord?

O Lord my God, when I in awesomewonder 1. O Lord my God, when I in awesomewonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands havemade, I see the stars, I hear the rollingthunder, Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

2. When through the woods and forest glades Iwander and hear the birds sing sweetly in thetrees, when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

3. And when I think that God, His Son notsparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take itin that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away mysin!

4. When Christ shall come with shout ofacclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill myheart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thouart!

Praise to the Holiest 1. Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all his ways!

2. O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, a second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came.

3. O wisest love! that flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail, should strive afresh against the foe, should strive, and should prevail;

4. And that the highest gift of grace should flesh and blood refine: God's presence and his very self, and essence all-divine.

5. O generous love! that he who smote in man for man the foe, the double agony in man for man should undergo.

6. And in the garden secretly, and on the Cross on high, should teach his brethren, and inspire to suffer and to die.

7. Praise to the Holiest in the height, and in the depth be praise; in all his words most wonderful, most sure in all his ways!

John Henry Newman (1801–90)

The Lord’s my shepherd (Crimond) 1. The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want, he makes me down to lie in pastures green. He leadeth me the quiet waters by. 2. My soul he doth restore again, and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, e’en for his own name’s sake.

3. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear none ill. For thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still.

4. My table thou hast furnishèd in presence of my foes, my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 5. Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me. And in God’s house for evermore my dwelling-place shall be.

This is my body (In love forme) 1. This is my body, broken for you, bringing you wholeness, making you free. Take it and eat it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 2. This is my blood, poured out for you, bringing forgiveness, making youfree. Take it and drink it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 3. Back to my Father soon I shallgo. Do not forget me; then you willsee I am still with you, and you willknow you’re very close to me. 4. Filled with my spirit, how you willgrow! You are my branches; I am the tree. If you are faithful, others will know you are alive in me. 5. Love one another - I have loved you, and I have shown you how to befree; serve one another, and when youdo, do it in love for me.

Water of life Water of life, cleanse and refresh us; raise us to life in Christ Jesus 1. All you who thirst, come to thewaters, and you will never be thirsty again. 2.

Stephen Dean

When I survey the wondrous cross 1. When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.

3. See from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4. His dying crimson like a robe, spreads o’er his body on the Tree; then I am dead to all the globe, and all the globe is dead to me. 5. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

The Summons 1. Will you come and follow me if I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known, Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

2. Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

3. Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name? Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same? Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen, And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

4. Will you love the “you” you hide if I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same? Will you use the faith you’ve found to reshape the world around Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?

5. Lord, your summons echoes true when I but call your name! Let me turn and follow you and never be the same In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show. Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.

John Bell & Graham Maule

You who dwell (On eagle’s wings) 1. You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in his shadow for life, say to the Lord: ‘My refuge, my Rock in whom I trust!’

And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand.

2. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear: under his wings your refuge, his faithfulness your shield.

3. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

4. For to his angels he’s given a command to guard you in all of your ways; upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. And hold you, hold you in the palm of his hand.
