by your patience and your courage, you have taught us work is good., 576
courage that perseveres when there is small success:, 800
give courage our faint souls to keep, and trust you though you slay, 750
Give me your courage, Lord, to speak whenever strong oppress the weak., 150, 686
grant them courage and compassion shown through word and deed and prayer., 642
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of this hour, 751
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, 751
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal, 751
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage serving you whom we adore, 751
he will have me where he is. Shall my courage then be shaken?, 215
let courage rise with danger, and with God's strength oppose., 752
Let us seek the courage needed, our high calling to fulfill, 635
Source of courage when hearts are weary, 499
Then grant us courage, Father God, to choose again the pilgrim way, 221
when hope and courage falter, Lord, let your voice be heard, 683
Make us, O God, a church that dares courageously to act, 524
and run my earthly course with joy, and closely walk with you to heav'n., 638
blend, O God, our faith and learning till they carve a single course, 664
His law he enforces; the stars in their courses and sun in its orbit obediently shine, 448
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, 460
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues, shall fill your courts with sounding praise., 455
bring us at length, we pray, to the bright courts of heaven and into endless day., 302
God his own shall tend and nourish, in his holy courts they flourish., 667
here's my heart, O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above., 782
Hushed was the evening hymn, the temple courts were dark, 609
Lord God of hosts! O may our praise your courts with grateful incense fill, 31
O enter then his gates with joy; within his courts his praise proclaim., 539
O then with hymns of praise these hallowed courts shall ring, 517
'tis his love his people raises in his courts to reign as kings, 522
with his true saints alone the courts of heav'n are filled, 517
Come then, come, O flock of Jesus, covenant with him anew, 196, 673
His oath, his covenant, his blood sustain me in the raging flood, 771
ourselves in covenant now bind with soul and strength, with heart and mind, 399
The covenant, so long revealed to those of faith in former time, 339
the promise of salvation, the covenant restored, 508
We covenant in church and home this peace to show each other, 121
We covenant with hand and heart to follow Christ, our Lord, 183, 209
We in one covenant are joined and one in Jesus are, 527
With one Cup and with one Bread thus one covenant way we tread., 126, 525
Wonder of wonders, here revealed; God’s covenant withn us is sealed., 410
cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing., 724
for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the seas., 682
Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin, 724
Become the neverfailing wine, the spring of joy that shall incline our hearts to bear the cov'nant sign:, 424
Let them your cov'nant mercies share as we our faith proclaim., 409
Lord, may we be faithful to our cov'nant found, 746
The cov'nant is made with you as my Head., 608
unto such as keep God's cov'nant and are steadfast in his way, 458
from cowardice defend us, from lethargy awake!, 634
and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall, 292
and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh., 301
Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, 317
Come to him, poor and lowly, around the cradle throng, 284
still such a cradle would not do to hold a babe as great as you., 307
With craft and dreadful might he arms himself to fight., 788
Crashing waters at creation, ordered by the Spirit's breath, 767
craving pardon for your foes: hear us, holy Jesus., 352
My spirit's hungry craving you can forever still, 484
all thought of vengeance or envy or hate. Help us, your children, shalom to create., 687
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me., 79
know that the Lord is God alone; he can create, and he destroy., 455
We who endanger, who create hunger, agents of death for all creatures that live, 655
a world that was created for a harmony of peace., 696
earth and heaven sprang to being, all created things began., 699
Praise we all our God eternal who created land and sea, 637
Thus on earth the Word appears, gracing his created spheres, 265
till love creates the place wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling., 492
Creating God, your fingers trace the bold designs of farthest space, 385
Holy Spirit, still creating Christ's one church in tongues of flame, 496
A new creation comes to life and grows, 366
all creation worships you, the Father everlasting., 234
All creation, join in praising God the Father, Spirit, Son, 293
All creation, join to say: Alleluia!, 359
and only you are God's true Son who was before creation., 472
and we with all creation in chorus make reply., 342
and with its first birth-cries creation was born, 382
but the harmony of the creation is broken by selfhood and vice, 656
Chosen and sent by the Father before earth's creation, 639
Crashing waters at creation, ordered by the Spirit's breath, 767
Fairest Lord Jesus! King of creation!, 470
Finish, then, your new creation, pure and spotless, gracious Lord, 218
Finish, then, your new creation; pure and spotless let us be, 474
for all the earth’s redemption, creation made anew, 56, 256
For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God., 449
Give heed, O saints of God! Creation cries in pain, 628
God refresh your whole creation! Timeless is salvation's role!, 632
God who breathes through all creation: God is love, eternal love., 463
God-spoken prophecy, word at creation: “You came from dust and to dust shall return.”, 813
heav'n and earth and all creation, praise and glorify his name., 454
I hear the real, though far off hymn that hails a new creation., 701
it is as though the whole creation cried alleluia!, 532
Jesus, life of all the world, source and sum of all creation, 363
Let all creation join in one to bless the sacred name, 477
Let all creation sing to Christ, our loving King:, 552
let creation sing before him and exalt him with one voice., 463
Let the whole creation cry, "Glory to the Lord on high!", 127
lives now the firstborn of the new creation, 626
Now all creation joins in praise, the fields and flowers in beauty blaze, 365
O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made!, 394
Of whom all nature has creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word, 237
Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of creation!, 530
redeem your whole creation with your almighty hand, 142, 683
she is his new creation by water and the word, 511
Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation, 15, 537
Sing with all the people of God, and join in the hymn of all creation., 238
Spirit, working in creation, bringing order out of strife, 223
tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, 618
The whole creation longs for the day when we're set free, 503
to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things., 579
Water has held us, moved by creation., 408
where your purpose for creation and the pulse of life are found., 664
Your love has set us in the generations, God of creation., 812
O day of God, draw nigh as at creation's birth, 681
once you sang creation's story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth, 293
Our God eternal, reigning, creation's life sustaining, our refuge and our home, 806
the whole creation's Head and Lord, by all in heav'n and earth adored, 279
the whole creation's Head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, 278
life itself, creative, free: we believe in God., 387
Then let us place ourselves in God's creative hands, 698

and praise our God and Lord, Creator, Spirit, Word., 272
Creator of the rolling spheres, the Master of all time., 405

Creator of the world, our only strength for good., 272
Creator of this planet and all we see or dream., 435
Great Creator, life-bestower, truth beyond all thought's recall, 642
Let all things now living a song of thanksgiving to God the Creator triumphantly raise, 448
Lifegiving Creator of both great and small, of all life the maker, the true life of all, 457
Only Immortal One, Mighty Creator! We are your creatures and children of earth., 813
Teacher, Creator, God, enfold us in your arms, 801
they see where Christ Jesus sits, crowned on the throne, the equal of God our creator, 393
We praise you, Father, Creator; we adore you forever., 102
We thank you, our Creator, for all things bright and good, 453
You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind, 685
From all that dwell below the skies let the Creator's praise arise, 551
for the creature he fashioned. He will prove his faithfulness to you, 275
God of the rainbow God of the cross God of the empty grave, 462
how does the creature cry woe how does the creature cry save, 26, 462
how does the creature say awe how does the creature say praise, 26, 462
How does the creature say Care, how does the creature say Life?, 30, 462
how does the creature say love how does the creature say peace, 30, 462
Let ev'ry creature rise and bring the highest honors to our King, 404
Though circled by the hosts on high, he deigned to cast a loving eye upon his helpless creature, 278
and creaturely voices sang praise to the morn., 382
all earth and trees, all skies and seas, all creatures ev'rywhere., 456
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, 467
Bless your maker, all you creatures, ever under God's control, 458
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below, 569, 817
the Singer was pleased as the earthsang the song, the choir of the creatures re-echoed it long., 382
The sounds of the creatures were one with their Lord's, 382
through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, 480
We are your creatures and children of earth., 813
We who endanger, who create hunger, agents of death for all creatures that live, 655
Alleluia! Our Creator, Christ and Spirit -- this our creed., 637
lest we justify some terror with an antiquated creed., 664
Redeeming God, your arms embrace all now despised for creed or race, 385
and find that serving you through them transcends our human creeds, 395
deeper than our minds can fathom, greater than our creeds rehearse:, 642
Now all the woods are sleeping, through fields the shadows creeping, and cities sink to rest, 572
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 301
it is as though the whole creation cried alleluia!, 532
who cried our tears and shared our joys, who roundly laughed with mirth., 481
from the swords of Herod's soldiers, ravaged homes and parents' cries --, 692
gentle our hurts and still our cries; comfort, heal, bless make us wise., 497
Give heed, O saints of God! Creation cries in pain, 628
Up through endless ranks of angels, cries of triumph in his ears, 370
Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, 581
Of what great crime have you to make confession, what dark transgression?, 351
Will God your pleading hear while crime and cruelty grow?, 695
Day in the east is breaking; day o'er the crimsoned earth, 284
when the crippled in their weakness strengthen others, 689
Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain!, 264
and his death for us on the shameful cross., 197
and on this cross you died for us to set your people free, 374
and since you, for sinners suff’ring on the cross were made an off’ring, 202
And then one day I'll cross the river, I'll fight life's final war with pain, 706
and under cross, reproach, and shame, to glorify his name., 183, 209
as he endured the cross, so let us love in Christ., 668
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified, 76
Baptize us with your Spirit, Lord, your cross on us be signed, 321
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain, 757
Beneath the cross of Jesus I long to take my stand, 329
bore the cross to save us, hope and freedom gave us., 186, 270, 273
born as a man to die, nailed to a cross on high, 407
But, O my Jesus, you did me upon the cross embrace, 602
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky., 362
Christ the everlasting Word, who for us the cross endured, 387
Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, 699
Do we pass that cross unheeding, breathing no repentant vow, 331
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where thou hast died, 607
for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown., 758
Give us faith to follow you through cross to faith's reward, 336
God of the rainbow God of the cross God of the empty grave, 462
graven in our hearts forever, dwell the cross, the Crucified., 331
he bore the shameful cross and death, for us gave up his dying breath., 485
He who bore all pain and loss comfortless upon the cross, 360
help me to bear the cross when life is bleak and cheerless, 615
here are table, font, and pulpit; here the cross has central place., 564
his baptism in Jordan river; his death on cross for my salvation, 237
Hold now your cross before my closing eyes., 807
I know not how that Calvary's cross a world from sin could free, 704
I see the cross -- there teach my heart to cling., 490
In blazing light your cross reveals the truth we dimly knew:, 777
In the cross of Christ I glory, not in power, wealth or fame., 332
In the cross of Christ I glory, there for all was grace made free., 332
In the cross of Christ I glory, tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time, 76
In the cross sin's curse is broken for the sake of Jesus' name., 332
is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more, 754
Jesus, for your love most tender on the cross for sinners shown, 310
Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim, 623
Lord, who in your cross and passion hung beneath a darkened sky, 692
may our eyes be ever turning to behold your cross anew, 331
May our hearts incline to you as we keep your cross in view, 352
my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, your cross., 329
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom, costly cross, grave's shattered door, 652
O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign, 766
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!, 359
Shun not suff'ring, shame or loss; learn of him to bear the cross., 349
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, as soldiers of the cross:, 752
Take up your cross, and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down, 758
Take up your cross, heed not the shame, and let your foolish heart be still, 758
Take up your cross, let not its weight fill your weak spirit with alarm, 758
"Take up your cross," the Savior said, "if you would my disciple be, 758
Take up your cross, then, in his strength, and calmly ev'ry danger brave:, 758
take up your cross with willing heart, and humbly follow after me.", 758
teaching us to bear our cross to know your kind of joy., 336
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, 465
The cross, the cross, O, that’s my gain, 198
the cross you hung upon -- all you endeavored done., 644
the Lord for you accepted death upon a cross, on Calvary's hill., 758
The Lord is ris'n again, who on the cross did bleed, 356
The shadow of your cross, Lord, be my abiding place, 329
the words of grace and mercy, the cross and all its pains, 508
There are depths of love that I cannot know 'til I cross the narrow sea, 607
Upon the cross of Jesus, my eye by faith can see, 329
washed in your blood, we lose our stains, and with your cross you break our chains., 333
we join with those before us in holding high the cross., 433
we may weep beneath his cross, but he wept and bled for us., 346
we now receive the grace sent down, which makes us share his cross and crown., 700
We own the doctrine of your cross to be our sole foundation, 200
When I survey the wondrous cross, on which the Prince of glory died, 80, 350
When to the cross I turn my eyes, and rest on Calvary, 422
Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, 581
while on cross you hung suspended till your life in flesh had ended., 419
who by his cross a ransom gave from all our sins., 425
Who did once, upon the cross, alleluia!, 358
Who endured the cross and grave, alleluia!, 358
who for the world was sacrificed upon the cross to save us, 472
who upon the cross, forsaken, worked your mercy's perfect deed:, 148, 688
With humble thanks we now adore you; your cross our glory shall remain, 340
with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you, 351
with us the cross to bear for Christ our Lord., 640
yet upon the cross extended, you have borne the pain of all., 331
You once suffered on the cross to atone for sinners' guilt, 741
your cross is lifted o'er us; we journey in its light, 753
your festal banner wave on high, the cross of Christ your king., 786
Your willing death upon the cross has earned God's priceless gift for us:, 333
saints and angels crowd around him, own his title, praise his name., 406
to lay our bed on rougher ground, to set our table in the crowd, 440
We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs, high as the heav'n our voices raise, 455
The years have all been crowded with tokens of your love, 13
Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, 581
From the towns' dusty clamor and the crowds milling there, 748
In the crowds that came to Jesus, teaching up and down the land, 130
who fed the crowds that pressed him round and made the blind to see., 481
Would crowds that followed turn away? Would pow'rs of evil hold their sway?, 337
All things you send are full of grace; you crown our lives with favor., 761
and crown him, crown him, crown him, and crown him Lord of all., 402
bold I approach the eternal throne and claim the crown, through Christ, my own., 773

Crown the Savior! Angels crown him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings, 406
Crown the Savior, King of kings., 406
Crown us with love enduring and promises of grace, 13
daily pow'r to conquer sin; patient faith, the crown to win., 426
did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?, 80, 350
Father, who the crown shall give, Savior, by whose death we live, 216
Fix in us your humble dwelling, all your faithful mercies crown., 474
for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown., 758
for us you wore a crown of thorns, a crown of life securing., 384
His kingly crown is holiness; his scepter is his loveliness, 272
My Lord, you wore no royal crown; you did not wield the pow’rs of state, 583
now Jesus, only, be my treasure, my joy, my crown while life shall last, 340
now scornfully surrounded with thorns your only crown., 345
on that royal head he wore a crown of thorns instead., 336
should success your labor crown, give the praise to him alone., 444
the crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might!, 753
They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you, 351
To ev'ryone who conquers, a crown of life shall be, 752
To him shall endless prayer be made and praises throng to crown his head, 404
to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things., 579
truly I'd serve thee, light of my soul, my joy, my crown., 470
we now receive the grace sent down, which makes us share his cross and crown., 700
You rose, our king victorious, that they might wear the crown, 391
but crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky., 257
Sinners in derision crowned him, mocking thus the Savior's claim, 406
There his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned., 292
they see where Christ Jesus sits, crowned on the throne, the equal of God our creator, 393
we worship you alone, whose love has crowned our days., 633
Crowning gift of resurrection sent from your ascended throne, 98
May he with all his gifts impart his crowning gift, a thankful heart., 816
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea, 381
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne, 405
crowns and empires fall before you, claim the kingdom for your own, 259
Crowns become the victor's brow., 406
Praise to God, immortal praise, for the love that crowns our days!, 119
till we cast our crowns before you, lost in wonder, love, and praise., 474
whose loving kindness crowns our days! O bless the Lord, my soul!, 546
and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified, 526
and send us forth where duty calls to serve the crucified!, 524
Christ our Savior, Sov'reign, Shepherd, word made flesh, love crucified, 642
Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide., 330
glory to you, the Lamb who died. All hail our king, the crucified., 436

haunted by that life so tender, pard'ning, bleeding, crucified., 557
So shall our song of triumph ever be: praise to the Crucified for victory!, 623
so the Christian centers wholly in Christ Jesus crucified., 715
that I naught beside may know but you only, the Lord crucified., 608
‘twas there my Lord was crucified, 198
We take the bread and wine from him, the crucified:, 210
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?, 354
where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all., 353
even death by crucifixion: our atonement full and free., 334
they give you gall to drink, they still decry you; they crucify you., 351
he breaks the cruel oppressor's rod and wins salvation glorious., 788
hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease., 648
redress sin's cruel consequence; give justice larger place., 628
with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you, 351
My Jesus' blood was cruelly spilled; that I might live, God’s Son was killed., 776
Will God your pleading hear while crime and cruelty grow?, 695
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, 286
Across the world, across the street, the victims of injustice cry, 694
all who cry for peace and justice, all who curse and all who bless:, 697
alleluia! Hear the sinful cry to you from day to day., 373
and with this joyful cry worship begins and ends:, 210
By your pard'ning grace I live; daily still I cry, forgive., 779
dark midnight was my cry, give me Jesus., 573
for that last triumphant cry, praise you evermore on high., 334
Hark, angelic voices cry, singing evermore on high: Alleluia!, 360
hear the cry that we are raising; hear, and bless our prayers and praising., 558
hear the news that John did cry: “God to us is drawing nigh, 60
How does the creature cry Woe? How does the creature cry Save?, 26
I, the Lord of sea and sky,I have heard my people cry., 641
"It is finished!" hear him cry; learn of Jesus Christ to die., 349
Lamb of God, O hear my cry: by your bitter agony, 744
Let the whole creation cry, "Glory to the Lord on high!", 127
lives in glory now on high, pleads for us, and hears our cry: Alleluia!, 360
Lord, we cry to you for help. Only you can heal our pain., 760
Midnight hears the welcome voices and at the thrilling cry rejoices:, 258
O hear us when we cry to thee for those in peril on the sea., 725
Out of the depths I cry to you; O Father, hear me calling., 761
pardon our transgressions, hear our earnest cry, 770
Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry, 772
Prince of life, O hear my cry: by your glorious majesty, 744
Ride on! Ride on in majesty! Hear all the tribes hosanna cry, 343
Salvation to God who sits on the throne. Let all cry aloud and honor the Son, 105, 565
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others thou art calling; do not pass me by., 772
Son of God, O hear my cry: by the holy mystery, 744
Still your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread, 688
Then shall we join the hosts that cry, "O holy, holy Lord Most High!", 561
Through every age you heard our cry; through ev’ry age we found you nigh, 147
Up, pray and watch and wrestle; at midnight comes the cry., 256
veil their faces to the presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry:, 271
when athirst to him I cry, living water he'll supply., 662
while angels in their songs rejoice, and cry, "Behold he prays!", 749
yet in his promise we rejoice, and cry, "My Lord and God!", 713
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes., 301
For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, 264
Wake, awake, for night is flying,"the watchmen on the heights are crying, 258
with none to heed their crying for life and love and light, 634
Open now the crystal fountain where the healing waters flow, 790
where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea., 373
which the folk of countless cultures in new words and rhythms raise., 684
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?, 743
You made no mean or cunning move, chose no unworthy compromise, 583
Do not one cup, one loaf declare our oneness in the Lord?, 417
For this bread and cup of blessing are for us the sure possessing, 187
from deepest anguish saving, with bliss my cup can fill., 484
give the cup of water and the loaf of bread --, 582
He took the cup and blessed the wine: "Share this new testament, my blood!", 355
Is not the cup we bless and share the blood of Christ outpoured?, 417
my cup with blessings overflows; your oil anoints my head., 730
my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows, 720
One bread, one cup, one body we, rejoicing in our unity, 228
One cup they drank, one bread they broke, 396
Ponder now the holy cup, filled with mercy lifted up., 227
The cup of water giv'n for you still holds the freshness of your grace, 581
thy testamental cup I take, and thus remember thee., 422
When our joy fills up our cup to overflowing, 689
With one Cup and with one Bread thus one covenant way we tread., 126, 525
May our learning curb the error which unthinking faith can breed, 664
and by our faults obscure your pow'r to cleanse and cure., 644
Cure your children's warring madness, bend our pride to your control, 751
For he alone, whose blood was shed, can cure the fever in our blood, 694
As two currents in a river fight each other's undertow, 664
Jordan's strong currents God's Son announcing, 408
all who cry for peace and justice, all who curse and all who bless:, 697
he comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found, 294
In the cross sin's curse is broken for the sake of Jesus' name., 332
The selfishness which is our human curse, the arsenal of hatred which we nurse, 766
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?, 328
You have in our stead the curse endured, and for us eternal life procured, 82
cursed by strangers and condemned, abandoned by his friends, 336
let saints and angels sing before you with harp and cymbal's clearest tone., 258
