FINLANDIA By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered and confidently waiting, come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning, and never fails to meet us each new day. Yet are our hearts by their old foe tormented; still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; O…
Beneath the cross of Jesus I gladly take my stand; the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. There lies, beneath its shadow, but on…
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that thou art – thou my best thought, in the day or the night, waking or sleeping, thy presence my light. Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word; I ever with thee,…
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus, his the sceptre, his the throne; Alleluia! His the triumph, his the victory alone. Hear the songs of holy Zion thunder like a mighty flood: ‘Jesus out of every nation has redeemed us by his blood.’ Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now.…

We’re not alone, for Christ is here. Immanuel our God come near. We’re not alone, for to our world Jesus has come, eternal Word. And as he speaks, our souls laid bare. Naked, ashamed, sin is made clear. And yet he clothes us in his love. Never alone, Christ is…
See what a morning, gloriously bright with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem; folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light, as the angels announce Christ is risen! See God’s salvation plan, wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice, fulfilled in Christ, the man, for he lives - Christ…
