As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 643 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold; as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright; so, most gracious Lord, may we evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Savior, to thy lowly bed, there to bend the knee before thee, whom heaven and earth adore; so may we with willing feet ever seek thy mercy seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare at thy manger, rude and bare, so may we with holy joy, pure and free from sin’s alloy, all our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee, our heavenly king. 4 Holy Jesus, every day keep us in the narrow way; and when earthly things are past, bring our ransomed souls at last where they need no star to guide, where no clouds thy glory hide.

Blest Be the God of Israel (Song of Zechariah)

Author: Michael A. Perry Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Blest be the God of Israel Lyrics: 1 Blest be the God of Israel, who comes to set us free; who visits and redeems us, who grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release; God shall fulfill that promise and bring the people peace. 2 God from the house of David a child of grace has given; a Savior comes among us to raise us up to heaven. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. 3 On those who sit in darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner’s eyes. God guides the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace. O bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease!
