Mighty God, while angels bless you
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #34b (2024) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Lyrics: 1. Mighty God, while angels bless you,
May an infant lisp your name?
Lord of mortals and of angels,
You are ev’ry creature’s theme.
2. Lord of ev’ry land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,
Sounded through the wide creation
By your just and lawful praise:
3. For the grandeur of your nature,
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought,
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought.
4. For your providence, which governs
Through your empire’s wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow:
Blessèd be your gentle reign.
5. Brightness of the Father’s glory,
Shall your praise unuttered lie?
Fly my tongue to such a silence!
Sing the Lord who came to die.
6. Did archangels sing your coming?
Did the shepherds learn their lays?
Shame would cover me ungrateful
Should my tongue refuse to praise. Topics: Christmas Languages: English

God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.

drive the dark of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.

earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.

flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
call us to rejoice in thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
well-spring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!

Isaiah 9:2-8: The race that long in darkness pined
Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R19 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 First Line: The race that long in darkness pined Lyrics:
The race that long in darkness pined,
have seen a glorious light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
in death’s surrounding night.
To hail thy rise, thou better Sun!
the gath’ring nations came,
Joyous, as when the reapers bear
the harvest treasures home.
For thou our burden hast remov’d,
and quelled th’ oppressor’s sway,
Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell
in Midian’s evil day.
To us a Child of hope is barn;
to us a Son is giv’n;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
him all the hosts of heav’n.
His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
for evermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the great and mighty Lord.
His pow’r increasing still shall spread,
his reign no end shall know;
Justice shall guard his throne above,
and peace abound below.
