| THE COMPLETE NEW ENGLISH HYMNAL Volume 5 - Awake my soul and with the sun, Now is the healing time decreed, May the grace of Christ our saviour, It came upon the midnight clear Hymn, Thine arm O Lord in days of old, At even when the sun was set, My faith looks up to thee, Where the appointed sacrifice, All people that on earth do dwell, Come thou Redeemer of the earth, Hail O Star that pointest, Good Christian men rejoice and sing!, Lord of all being, throned afar, Servant of God, O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, Come risen Lord, Jesu Son of Mary, Hark! a herald voice is calling, O dearest Lord, thy sacred head, Thou whose almighty word, There is a green hill far away, O Praise ye the Lord, Come down O love divine, Soldiers who are Christ’s below, God of mercy God of grace, It is finished, Lord of beauty |
