Hymns

Abide with me All praise to thee who safe has kept Alleluia, sing to Jesus Author of life divine Awake, my soul, and with the sun (François-Hippolyte Barthélémon) Awake, O Lord, as in the time of old! Brightest and best By Christ redeemed A charge to keep I have Christ is our cornerstone Christ, whose glory fills the skies The Church's one foundation Come, O thou traveller unknown (Colchester) Come, O thou traveller unknown (Peniel) Come, ye souls by sin afflicted

The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended Firmly I believe and truly God is Love: let heaven adore him God of pity, God of grace Hallelujah! raise, O raise Houghton-le-Spring Lead, kindly light Lord, speak to me, that I may speak Nature with open volume stands (Nathanael Gawthorn) Nearer, my God, to thee Not a thought of earthly things Now let us see thy beauty, Lord O God, of all the Maker O God, the Son eternal O Lord, how joyful 'tis to see

O love divine, how sweet thou art O thou who camest from above On the resurrection morning Once again, dear Lord, we pray Present with the two or three Round me falls the night Say not the struggle nought availeth There is a blessed home Though lowly here our lot may be We sing of God, the mighty source Where high the heavenly temple stands Who are these arrayed in white? With solemn faith we offer up Ye humble souls that seek the Lord
