and the babe, the world's Redeemer, 483
Glowing gold I bring the newborn babe so holy, 322
Haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary!, 305
I know not how that Bethl'hem's babe could in the Godhead be, 704
still such a cradle would not do to hold a babe as great as you., 307
"The heav'nly babe you there shall find to human view displayed, 296
and ever o'er its Babel-sounds the blessed angels sing., 286
As a mother feeds her baby, with the milk from her own breast, 659
As a mother feels the heartbeat of her baby held so near, 659
As a mother holds her baby, gazing in her child's eyes, 659
How sweet to hold a newborn baby, and feel the pride and joy he gives, 706
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, 301
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed., 292
Who is that lovely little one? The baby Jesus, God's own Son., 307
Lead us forward ever, slipping backward never, 493
and bade its angry tumult cease and gave for wild confusion peace:, 725
he bade me welcome, O voice divine., 775
He bade me welcome, O word of mercy, 775
who bade the mighty ocean deep its own appointed limits keep:, 725
Yet give us insight that keeps us aware justice and mercy in balance to share., 687
Breathe through the pulses of desire thy coolness and thy balm, 739
O most wholesome balm of healing, all our debt to sins repealing, 419
Our shield from foes, our balm for woes, our great and sure salvation., 121
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole, there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul., 500
To comfort and to bless, to find a balm for woe, 657
whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm:, 802
With healing balm my soul he fills, and ev’ry faithless murmur stills, 15
not the ban of death can part from the Lord the trusting heart., 215
a band of Christ's disciples to worship, sing, and pray., 378
As with a mother’s tender hand, he leads his own, his chosen band, 15, 537
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band, 139
Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands, for our offenses given, 367
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified, 76
As at his parting, joy shall banish grieving, 626
freshen my lips with wine, my soul with bread, banish my poverty with heaven's gold., 755
shall banish all our fears away, and sleep renew our pow'rs., 570
that the world we banish is our Christian care., 651
till you in my behalf appear, to banish ev'ry doubt and fear., 721
O Lord of all the living, both banished and restored, 763
The radiant sun has vanished, its golden rays are banished from dark'ning skies of night, 572
till shadows have vanished and darkness is banished, 448
He banishes all fear and strife, and leads them gently on to everlasting life.593
Now he holds you by the hand, and banishes your fear, 729
On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry announces that the Lord is nigh, 267
All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned, 685
and over us the banner spread of everlasting love., 198
each to each unite, endear; come, and spread your banner here., 672
Spread your love's broad banner o'er us, 310
lift high his royal banner, it must not suffer loss., 752
your festal banner wave on high, the cross of Christ your king., 786
His banners are o'er us, his light goes before us, 448
Raise up your banners high in this hour., 489
Bless the one whose grace unbounded this amazing banquet founded, 588
by living out the banquet feast supported by our bond, 395
This is the hour of banquet and of song, 421
by baptism, and its soul to bless, out of the fullness of thy grace., 167
his baptism in Jordan river; his death on cross for my salvation, 237
one baptism shared, one language spoke, 396
the baptism of the heav'n-descended dove, 224, 490
as heirs of God's baptismal grace, his word of hope proclaim., 628
from their bright baptismal day you have led them on their way., 426
Jordan’s strong currents God’s Son announcing, made a beginning, baptismal day., 408
revive in us baptismal grace, and fan our smold’ring lives to flame., 379
On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry announces that the Lord is nigh, 267
Baptize us with your Spirit, Lord, your cross on us be signed, 321
Baptize with joy and pow'r; give, O Dove descending, life never ending., 167
Lord, you call us to your service: “In my name baptize and teach.”, 71, 617
Our children, Lord, in faith and prayer, we baptize in your name., 409
baptized them with his Spirit, pure and good, 516
Baptized we live with God the Three in One. Alleluia!, 366
Christ, when for us you were baptized, God's spirit on you came, 321
For us baptized, for us he bore his holy fast and hungered sore, 485
in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended, children of God in peace and love., 315
There as the Lord, baptized and praying rose from the stream, the sinless one, 315
When John baptized by Jordan's river in faith and hope the people came, 315
who are into one by the Spirit baptized., 675
For lo, the days are hast'ning on, by prophet bards foretold, 286
As they offered gifts most rare at that manger rude and bare, 190
See for yourselves, the tomb is all bare, only the grave clothes are lying there.", 357
and make land once barren with green abound, 616
Guide me, O my great Redeemer, pilgrim through this barren land., 790
Remember barren Golgotha, 365
Just as I am; thy love unknown has broken every barrier down, 762
In Christ there is no east or west -- he breaks all barriers down:, 781
He closed the yawning gates of hell: the bars from heav'n's high portals fell, 361
hark to the voice above our base desire, 459
the basis of all building, wealth, and speed., 654
Water has cleansed us, bathed with forgiveness, 408
and now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song., 753
I shall not fear the battle if you are (at/by) my side, 172, 603
Let this world's tyrant rage; in battle we’ll engage!, 788
Jesus' redeeming labors are done. Even the battle with sin is won., 357
the battle fought, the victory won, enter your Master's joy., 811
The strife is o'er, the battle done, the victory of life is won, 361
this day the noise of battle, the next the victor's song., 752
where ev'ry battle flag is furled and ev'ry trumpet stilled, 691
as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright, 190
How bright appears the Morning Star with mercy beaming from afar, 278
using as our guide the star so brightly beaming., 322
Come, Holy Spirit, come let your bright beams arise, 21
in his beams appears, this my spirit cheers., 594
joyless is the day's return till your mercy's beams I view, 475
radiant beams from your holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace, 297
Thy glad beams, thou Morning Star, 281
till your Spirit breaks our night with the beams of truth unclouded, 558
All who love and serve your city, all who bear its daily stress, 697
and, whatever I must bear, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!, 722
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart, both soul and body bear your part., 537
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain, 757
bear the witness to his greatness; spread the story of his glory to the earth’s remotest bounds., 631
But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear, 644
Come, holy Comforter, your sacred witness bear, 555
for only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown., 758
Give of your own to bear the message glorious, 618
Having turned from other ways, now your name alone to bear, 614
help me to bear the cross when life is bleak and cheerless, 615
Help me to bear your easy yoke, in ev'ry moment watch and pray, 638
his strength shall bear your spirit up, and brace your heart, and nerve your arm., 758
is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more, 754
Let us each for others care, each another's burden bear, 672
lo, the heritage of all who bear your name, 756
Love one another, bear no ill, share of the bounty, do God's will., 536
may I press on to heaven and bear the prize in mind., 795
May we who bear his name our faith and love renew, 425
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, 405
Not as of old a little child, to bear and fight and die, 257
O bear me safe above, redeemed and free!, 705
O bless the Lord, my soul! His mercies bear in mind!, 546
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, 743
pardon and spare me, summon and bear me homeward at last., 796
reject me not for sins that bear me down, 759
Shun not suff'ring, shame or loss, learn of him to bear the cross., 349
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, 490
teaching us to bear our cross to know your kind of joy., 336
tell me your secret, help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care, 735
thus the world will bear us witness that we, Lord, are truly thine., 673
till all our lives enflesh your word and bear your wounds of love., 338
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?, 328
to bear within our mortal frame a life, a death, a saving name, 478
token of the pain that he will bear to save us., 322
trust for the children tomorrow will bear., 655
We bear the torch that flaming fell from the hands of those, 634
we cannot understand the woe your love was pleased to bear, 348
We may not know, we cannot tell what pains he had to bear, 353
We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear, 680
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!, 743
who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?, 641
with all God's children everywhere his name and sign with pride we bear, 543
with us the cross to bear for Christ our Lord., 640
would bear one perfect flow'r here in the cold of winter and darkest midnight hour., 302
Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonored, disobeyed., 579
Hail, O agonizing Savior, bearer of our sin and shame, 330
from field to store the grain bearing your sheaves again, 452
Savior, our sins and sorrows bearing, hear us and grant us this request:, 315
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, 465
in his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes., 529
From all evil pow'rs he spares them; in his mighty arms he bears them., 667
lead us to work that bears your fruit, giving knowledge of your truth., 536
'til peace in each home bears and nurtures the bud, 678
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall, 317
yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, 707
Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light, and usher in the morning., 287
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, 467
Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!, 470
How beautiful the country that eager hearts expect!, 814
and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace., 739
and we, this marvel seeing, forget our selfish being for joy of beauty not our own., 572
As water to the thirsty, as beauty to the eyes, 599
For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, 538
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, 538
for the God of truth and beauty they in joy will surely see., 595
Freedom, wealth, regard and beauty come to nothing good unless --, 715
God of wisdom, truth, and beauty, 132
Help us, O Lord, to teach the beauty of your ways, 666
How good, Lord, to be here! Your beauty to behold, 326
its bounty, fertility, kindness, its beauty, its reason, its health, 656
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band, 139
May his beauty rest upon me as I seek the lost to win, 585
O day of God, draw nigh in beauty and in pow'r, 681
rich wounds yet visible above in beauty glorified., 405
the fields and flowers in beauty blaze, 365
The King shall come when morning dawns and light and beauty brings., 257
The Savior's blood and righteousness my beauty is, my glorious dress, 178, 181, 201
when beauty gilds the eastern hills and life to joy awakes., 257
Become the neverfailing wine, 424
Become to us the living bread, 424
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 301
death is a sleep, the grave a bed; with Jesus I shall rise., 356
in the starkest manger bed the King of glory lay, 336
The graves of all his saints Christ blest, and softened every bed, 87
The Spirit’s breath revives the dead, new life emerges from that bed, 365
their bright wings above me, watching round my bed., 567
to lay our bed on rougher ground, to set our table in the crowd, 440
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed., 292
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, 719
I do not know what may befall of grief or gladness, peace or pain, 727
Let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign!, 264
their harmonies sweet and befitting the word, 382
Before your ever-blazing throne we ask no luster of our own., 122
He will be in you, before and behind and beside you, 639
till we cast our crowns before you, lost in wonder, love, and praise., 474
God sends us his Spirit to befriend and help us, 493
Ponder anew what the almighty can do if with his love he befriend you., 530
We are yours; in love befriend us, be the guardian of our way, 731
down to earth descended, and our race befriended., 277
he left his friends, that all may be befriended:, 830
in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended, children of God in peace and love., 315
earth and heaven sprang to being, all created things began., 699
Now let the heavens be joyful, let earth its song begin, 90
that we good soil may be. Begin, O Lord, with me!, 501
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, 3, 34
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen., 236
As it was without beginning, so it lasts without an end, 458
End of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty., 124, 474
first to witness day's beginning from the brightness of night's death., 767
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity, 797
made a beginning, baptismal day., 408
They came to seek a new beginning, the human spirit's ageless quest, 315
who from the beginning was the mighty Word., 480
Send us, God of new beginnings, humbly hopeful into life., 398
This is a day of new beginnings; our God is making all things new., 784
This is a day of new beginnings, time to remember and move on, 784
and with this joyful cry worship begins and ends:, 210
Of the Father's love begotten ere the worlds began to be, 483
What is begun shall surely be completed. To God be endless praise!, 830
till you in my behalf appear, to banish ev'ry doubt and fear., 721
Our gracious God sent the Savior, who, showing perfect behavior, 316
so shall we in doctrine, in word and behavior, 616
then let love determine our behavior, for 'tis God's command to all, 397
What manner of behavior is by thy love required of me?, 269
He will be in you, before and behind and beside you, 639
Angels help us to adore him, who behold him face to face., 529
As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold, 190
behold me, Lord, returning with hope and trust to you., 763
Church, unite for the right; let your foes behold your stand, 631
come and behold him, born the king of angels, 62, 283
Faithful soul, behold your King and Lord comes to meet you., 275
from each degree of faith to more, till we behold your face., 703
How good, Lord, to be here! Your beauty to behold, 326
In his temple now behold him, see the long-expected Lord, 314

We all behold one vision, a stark reality:, 620
we may behold you as you are, with full and endless sight., 713
while angels in their songs rejoice, and cry, "Behold he prays!", 749

He comes in truth when faith is grown; believed, obeyed, adored, 478
how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed., 783

Though not seeing, yet believing in the Truth, the Life, the Way., 392
For taking light the tasks now ours, belittling oft our given pow'rs, 738
Christ builds his church in ev'ry land; bells still are chiming, 512
