With wondering awe

Hosanna! Hosanna to His name! 2 By light of star They travelled far, To seek the lowly manger; A humble bed, Wherein was laid The wondrous little Stranger: Hosanna! etc. 3 And still is found The world around, The old and hallowed story, And still is sung, In every tongue, The angel's song of glory: Hosanna! etc. 4 The heavenly star Its ray afar On every land is throwing, And shall not cease Till holy peace In all the earth is glowing. Hosanna! etc. Used With Tune: [With wond'ring awe]

Child's Hymn to the Guardian Angel

Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How kind it is of you to come Lyrics: 1 How kind it is of you to come, Bright angel, from your starry home, And watch by night, and watch by day, Beside a sinful child of clay! How good and pure I ought to be, Who always live so near to thee! Beneath thine eyes the whole day round, Where'er I tread is holy ground. 2 And if I had my wish, I would, Dear angel mine! be always good; This minute I would rather die, Than say bad words or tell a lie; I always feel disposed this way, Whene'er I kneel me down to pray; But I forget when church is o'er, And am as naughty as before. 3 O blessed guardian! kind and mild, Have pity on a poor weak child, And pray that God will make me strong To do the right and shun the wrong. Whenever I commit a sin, I feel my very heart within Grow chill and heavy like a clod, Because I have offended God. 4 But I would rather love the Lord, And shun each sinful deed and word, Than do the sin, then feel the force Of bitter shame and keen remorse. I wish to think of God and thee Whenever pretty things I see, Till every flower that gems the sod Shall make me think of thee and God. 5 Inspired by faith, I wish to hear Thy gentle football strike my ear, Before thy radiant face to bow, And feed thy kiss upon my brow. Thy broad white wings shall be my shield While battling on life's dusty field; Thine arms enfold me when I die, And waft me homeward to the sky. Used With Tune: [How kind it is of you to come]

Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: I love Thee, O Thou Lord most high! Lyrics: 1 I love Thee, O thou Lord most high! Because Thou first hast loved me I seek no other liberty, But that of being bound to Thee; My memory no tho't suggest, But shall to Thy pure glory tend; My understanding find no rest, Except in Thee, its only end. 2 My God, I here protest to Thee, No other will I have than Thine, Whatever Thou hast giv'n to me, I here again to thee resign. All mine is thine, say but the word, Whate'er Thou willest shall be done; I know Thy love, all gracious Lord, I know it seeks my good alone. 3 I love Thee, O Thou Lord most high, Because Thou first hast loved me; I seek no other liberty But that of being bound to Thee; Apart from Thee, all things are nought, Then grant, O my supremest Bliss, Grant me to love thee as I ought,-- Thou givest all in giving this! Used With Tune: [I love Thee, O Thou Lord most high!]
