compared to this are vain and empty chaff., 593
Christ the Lord is ris'n again, Christ has broken ev'ry chain!, 360
It cannot freely move till you have wrought its chain, 604
Blessings abound where'er he reigns, the pris'ners leap to lose their chains, 404
half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, 579
My chains fell off, your voice I knew; was freed, I rose, and followed you., 773
washed in your blood, we lose our stains, and with your cross you break our chains., 333
washing off the chains of bondage -- channel to a life made new., 767

to meet the challenge of this hour and take a noble part., 524
challenged by the need apparent ev'rywhere, 582
his gifts on those he challenged and empowered., 830
who challenged us, when we were young to storm the citadels of wrong, 803
But now a champion comes to fight, whom God himself elected., 788
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, 757
Change and decay in all around I see., 807
in ev'ry change God faithful will remain., 757
In heav'nly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear, 732
Lord of all, of church and kingdom, in an age of change and doubt, 564
The church of Christ, in ev'ry age beset by change, but Spirit-led, 694
where doubt sees only change, faith finds an open door:, 698
Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place, 218, 474

washing off the chains of bondage -- channel to a life made new., 767
that healed and healing we may prove the channels of your grace., 338
help us sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise., 330
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving and the shout of jubilee:, 483
We bend before your throne and humbly chant your praise, 633
chanting bird and flowing fountain, praising you eternally!, 544
God, whose almighty word chaos and darkness heard, 380
O Holy Spirit, who did brood upon the chaos dark and rude, 725
Out of dark chaos, broke forth the light., 408
the word he spoke through chaos broke, the worlds in order sprang., 504
A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, 645
give his angels charge at last in the fire the weeds to cast, 450
Come as a teacher, sent from God, charged his whole counsel to declare, 432
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, 566
among ourselves at unity and with all else in charity., 519
may God bless us as we show charity in all we do., 397
O perfect Life, be now their full assurance of tender charity and steadfast faith, 427
to serve each other in your name in truth and charity., 417
Where charity and love prevail, there God is ever found, 785
With grateful joy and holy fear, God's charity we learn, 785
all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood., 350
searching ev'ry small expression, sav'ring moments filled with charm, 659
in the arms of my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms., 765
The name of Jesus charms our fears, and bids our sorrows cease --, 548
It is the chart and compass that all life’s voyage through, 23, 505
her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth, 511
O light of light, explore and chase our gloom away, 376
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning rod, 707
Check ev'ry wand'ring thought, and let us all be taught, 563
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh, 490
all the needy to revive and cheer, stream forth here, stream forth here., 528
as your radiance through me pours all my homeward way to cheer., 614
cheer our souls, our hope renew: hear us, holy Jesus., 352

for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer., 485
I see his hand of mercy, I hear his voice of cheer, 792
Let your mercy warn and cheer us!, 188
Lord, be near us here our sad lives to cheer, 542
raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind., 724
receive us in your mercy, and cheer us with your word, 13
Save us in our soul's distress; be our help to cheer and bless, 352
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer?, 288
Sing to our God a song of cheer in thanks that all may enter here., 520
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, 460
Those who Christ alone desiring, those whom nothing else can cheer, 717
Though no Father seem to hear, though no light our spirits cheer, 352
Which only the believer feels, direct, and keep, and cheer our hearts, 33
with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us, 533
with your gracious presence cheer us, 556
All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice, 539

Sing hallelujah, praise the Lord! Sing with a cheerful voice, 94, 114, 543
and cheerfully stand, prepared to comply with your ev'ry command., 608
The task your wisdom has assigned here let me cheerfully fulfill, 638
Then should we be ever ready cheerfully to testify, 589
O turn to me your cheering face, 721
Morning Star, O cheering sight! Ere thou cam’st, how dark earth’s night!, 281
Morning Star, your cheering light can dispel the gloom of night., 323
and although the way be cheerless, we will follow calm and fearless, 799
be strong and be not cheerless, and may your saints be fearless, 631
Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by you, 475
help me to bear the cross when life is bleak and cheerless, 615
he, to us in love inclining, cheers our souls with pard'ning grace., 298
When the Lord appears, this my spirit cheers, 594
to know your will and keep from sin, your word I cherish in my heart., 510
When simplicity we cherish, then the soul is full of light, 717
The Lord bless and keep you in his favor as his chosen, cherished heir, 446
At his feet the six-winged seraph; cherubim, with sleepless eye, 271
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, 381
cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, 386
Now with angels round the throne, cherubim and seraphim, 74

He will not always chide; he will with patience wait, 546
Praise him, still the same forever, slow to chide, and swift to bless., 529
God will not be always chiding, nor forever angry be, 534
he is our chief object by day and by night, 675
your word shall be my chief delight, and I will not forget your law., 510
a child so gentle and so rare, who brings you joy without compare., 306
A little child for you this morn has from a chosen maid been born, 307
a little child so tender, sweet, that you should skip upon your feet., 307
and, a child within a stable, came to share the life of earth --, 692
And thee most fervently entreat thyself this child to consecrate, 167
Born your people to deliver, born a child and yet a king, 262
but greater still the calm assurance, this child can face uncertain days because he lives., 706
Father, now your sinful child through your love is reconciled., 779
for ev'ry child of earth, for ev'ry child of earth., 478
for Mary's child and all his coming gave us, 830

Frankincense I bring the child of God's own choosing, 322
God, teach us peacemaking unto the end -- parent or child, or as stranger or friend --, 687
I only know the manger child has brought God's life to me., 704
if I have caused some child of yours to stray, 759
Lo, God, our God, has come; to us a child is born, 185
Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child., 292
Most loving Jesus, only child of God, your bloodshed reconciled, 776
no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home., 730
Not as of old a little child, to bear and fight and die, 257
O Savior, child of Mary, who felt all human woe, 302
round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild, 297
The doctors of the law gaze on the wondrous child, 318

This child, now weak in infancy, our confidence and joy shall be, 287
This child of God, though young or old, we welcome now into Christ's fold, 410
Through God's eternal will this child to us was given at midnight calm and still., 302
to the child, the youth, the aged, love in living deeds to show, 688
To us the promised Child is born, to us the Son is giv'n, 320
"To you this day is born a child: born of a maiden mother mild, 306
virgin-born, the child of Mary upon whom the Spirit came., 699
Were they to take our house, goods, honor, child, or spouse, 788
What child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping?, 305
with unfailing grasp God holds us, ev'ry child of ev'ry race., 463
Wondrous birth! O wondrous child of the Virgin undefiled!, 265
Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child., 682

We sing to you, O Child Divine; we lift our songs, our candles shine., 299
Welcome to earth, O Child Divine; a gift so rare, a jewel fine, 299
Wondrous Child divine! warm this heart of mine, 285
O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray, 282
of childhood and youth and adulthood and age., 678
From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, 581
For he is our childhood's pattern; day by day like us he grew, 292
that I may read with childlike eyes truths that are hidden from the wise., 609
whose trust, ever childlike no cares could destroy:, 802
with childlike trust that fears no pain or death., 427
All children of the living God are surely kin to me., 45, 523
all thought of vengeance or envy or hate. Help us, your children, shalom to create., 687
and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone., 292
As you have sought, so let me seek your erring children lost and lone., 646
as your children we receive you and rejoice., 420

Embracing God's children of each tribe and race., 136
Fear not, children, joyful stand on the borders of your land, 789

much more to us, his children, he gives our daily bread., 453
Neither life nor death shall ever from the Lord his children sever, 667

on women, men, and children who would God's grace receive., 378
Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer, we baptize in your name., 409
solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know., 522
Still your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread, 688
Such children you did once embrace while dwelling here below, 409
Taught to say your holy praises, which on earth your children sing, 660
tenderly caring for his erring children, 383
that many children may be born to you, 516
the love of Jesus, and his name, God's children all uniting., 396

with all God's children everywhere his name and sign with pride we bear, 543
You bid us come as children in Christ made new --, 571
You, who did our forebears guide, with their children still abide, 375
young men and women, aging folk and children, praise to the Savior!, 383
Your children now are we, and may we yours remain., 214
asking that the world around us share your children's liberty, 617
by faith the children's place we claim, and give all honor to one name., 700
by his tears and bloody sweat, he earned his children's bread., 336
Cure your children's warring madness, bend our pride to your control, 751
for children's voices singing, for faith and hope that last, 435
to their children's children ever shall God's righteousness extend:, 458
As a mother holds her baby, gazing in her child's eyes, 659
Christ builds his church in ev'ry land; bells still are chiming and calling, 512
For we all have heard his voice, all have made his will our choice., 126, 525
If selfish ease was my indulgent choice, 759
let your will and pleasure be our only choice., 205
Now in the days of youth when life is filled with choice, 801
simply follow your direction, to your will resign our choice., 716
Stand up, and bless the Lord, you people of his choice!, 531
We thank you with uplifted voice, this word of praise our joyful choice:, 541
with the choicest wine of heaven Christ's own blood to us is given., 588

Alleluia! Choose disciples. Send your servants ev'rywhere., 637
and for his dwelling and his throne will choose the pure in heart., 584
As you will, I would not choose; only let me hear your call., 42
Lord, I did not freely choose you till by grace you set me free, 612
Take my mind that I may use ev'ry pow'r as you should choose., 647
Then grant us courage, Father God, to choose again the pilgrim way, 221
to choose the way of life, reject the way of death, 801
and chooses from us, for our good, the bringers of good news., 431
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above chooses to live with us in love, 512

Let voices in chorus, with trumpet and horn, 547
Mortals join the mighty chorus, which the morning stars began, 544
O blessed heav'nly chorus! Lord, save us by your grace, 511
Who would not with hosts above join in Mary's chorus?, 300
yet, till joined to the celestial chorus, cold would prove our warmest praise, 346
and, in time, rejected by the people whom God chose, 336
doubt not our inmost wants are known to him who chose us for his own., 712
Highly favored church of Jesus, he chose you through mercy free, 528
Lord, you chose to be tormented that our doom should be prevented, 334
You made no mean or cunning move, chose no unworthy compromise, 583
a chosen bride forever, adorned now for our Savior, 631
A chosen one today replies, and fit and ready stands., 431
A little child for you this morn has from a chosen maid been born, 307
As with a mother's tender hand, he leads his own, his chosen band., 15, 537
Chosen and sent by the Father before earth's creation, 639
Church of God, elect and glorious, holy nation, chosen race, 69, 526

by our loving mutually, by our Christian unity., 672
Christian hearts, in love united, seek alone in Jesus rest, 673
day by day his voice is sounding, saying, "Christian, follow me.", 600
forge our Christian worship into Christian deeds., 651
from each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more.", 600
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here the silent Word is pleading., 305
Good Christian friends, rejoice, with heart, and soul, and voice, 60, 291
In the same way Christian teachers model true humanity, 665
on this Christian man and woman who here make their vows of love!, 429
one in heart and one in purpose, one in Christian love to be., 619
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing, 792
so the Christian centers wholly in Christ Jesus crucified., 715
still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love me more than these.", 600
that the world we banish is our Christian care., 651
that we may love each other well in Christian gentleness., 785
We gather still in Christian love, and celebrate with song, 395
With Christian love and purpose true, this church in faith embraces you., 169, 174

Christians, dismiss your fear; let hope and joy succeed, 93, 356
Come, Christians, follow where our Savior led, 623
Faithful Christians, one and all, join in jubilation, 300

to love and touch and lay the hand, and walk as Christians in this land., 440
When Christians shared agape meals, O Lord, your Spirit came, 395
Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air, 749
So let the world know, as we join in Christingle, 304
