Opening Hymn

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

till all the world adore his sacred name

Come, people, follow where our captain trod,

our King victorious, Christ the Son of God:

Lift high the cross…

All newborn servants of the Crucified

bear on their brow the seal of him who died:

Lift high the cross…

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,

draw all to you, let all the nations see:

Lift high the cross…

From farthest regions let them homage bring,

and on the cross adore their Saviour King:

Lift high the cross…

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 4 March 2018

Gradual Hymn

We sing the praise of him who died,

of him who died upon the cross;

the sinners’ hope though all deride:

for this we count the world but loss.

The cross – it takes our guilt away,

it holds the fainting spirit up,

it cheers with hope the gloomy day

and sweetens every bitter cup:

it makes the coward spirit brave

and nerves the feeble arm for fight;

it takes all terror from the grave

and gilds the bed of death with

light;

the balm of life, the cure of woe,

the measure and the pledge of love,

the sinner’s refuge here below,

the angels’ theme in heaven above.

Offertory Hymn

All my hope on God is founded;

all my trust he will renew,

through all change and chance

he guides me,

only good and only true.

God unknown,

he alone

calls my heart to be his own.

Human pride and earthly glory,

sword and crown betray our trust;

all we build with care and labour,

tower and temple, fall to dust.

But God’s power,

hour by hour,

is my temple and my tower.

God’s great goodness lasts for ever,

deep his wisdom, passing thought;

splendour, light and life attend him,

beauty springing out of naught,

evermore

from his store

new-born worlds rise and adore.

Daily the almighty giver

will his bounteous gifts bestow;

in his will our souls find pleasure,

leading us where’er we go.

Love will stand

at his hand,

joy shall wait for his command.

Still from earth to God eternal

sacrifice of praise be done,

high above all praises praising

for the gift of Christ his Son.

Hear Christ call one and all:

Those who follow shall not fall.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 4 March 2018

Final Hymn

In the cross of Christ I glory,

towering o'er the wrecks of time;

all the light of sacred story

gathers round its head sublime.

Through the cross, Christ's love empowers us

worldliness and self deny;

by his Spirit it inspires us

him, through love, to glorify.

Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,

by the cross are sanctified;

peace is there that knows no measure,

joys that through all time abide.

In the cross of Christ I glory,

towering o'er the wrecks of time;

all the light of sacred story

gathers round its head sublime.

Psalm 19

Refrain: Barbara Griffin (1965- ) Chant: Jones, John (1728-1796)

1 The heavens declare the glo- | ry of | God:

and the firma - | ment pro- | claims his | handiwork;

2 One day tells it | to a- | nother:

and night to | night com- | muni. cates | knowledge.

3 There is no | speech or | language:

nor | are their | voices | heard;

4 Yet their sound has gone out through | all the | world:

and their | words to . the | ends of . the | earth.

5 There he has pitched a tent | for the | sun:

which comes out as a bridegroom from his chamber, and rejoices like a strong |

man to | run his | course.

6 Its rising is at one end of the heavens, and its circuit to their | farthest | bound:

and nothing is | hidden | from its | heat.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, re- | viving . the | soul:

the command of the Lord is true, | and makes | wise the | simple.

8 The precepts of the Lord are right, and re- | joice the | heart:

the commandment of the Lord is pure, and gives | light | to the | eyes. RE-

FRAIN

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, and en- | dures for | ever:

the judgements of the Lord are unchanging, and | righteous | every | one.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, even | much fine | gold:

sweeter also than honey, than the honey | that drips | from the | comb.

11 Moreover, by them is your | servant | taught:

and in keeping them | there is | great re- | ward.

12 Who can know their own un- | witting | sins?:

O cleanse me | from my | secret | faults.

13 Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the | master-. y | over me:

so I shall be clean, and inno- | cent of | great of- | fence.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable | in your | sight:

O Lord, my | strength and | my re- | deemer. REFRAIN
