From thy bright throne

Hymnal: LCNS1885 #82 (1880) First Line: From thy bright throne above the sky Lyrics: 1 From thy bright throne above the sky, Look down on us, O Mother sweet, And smile upon the gift which I Here offer, kneeling at thy feet. O Mother of my God, and mine, I've bro't some simple flow'rs today, That they may bloom upon thy shrine, The long, long hours that I'm away. 2 So their sweet breath shall rise like pray'r. When I am far from this dear spot; Thou'lt think of me while they are here, And absent, I'll forget thee not. If I were rich in gems and gold, All, all to thee I'd freely give; How could I anything withhold, That it might please thee to receive! 3 But if I had a golden mine, And were to lay it at thy feet,-- My heart not being truly thine,-- Say, would it please thee, mother sweet? I know it would not, and I know That I can only be thine own By loving Him who loved thee so That He became thine own dear Son. 4 My heart henceforth shall be all thine, And I will watch and I will pray, That never thought or word of mine May take my heart from thee away. Oh, give a blessing now to me; I'll try to be so good all day, That I may bring fresh flowers to thee To make thy holy altar gay.

Magnificat

Angels hosts are singing, Israel's Holy One, Has for us become Mary's Son-- Peace on earth to us bringing. 1 O magnify the Lord! Break forth in songs my voice, In my Saviour adored, My spirit doth rejoice, While time its course will run, All ages will proclaim, What God hath in me done, And blessed call my name. [Chorus] 2 My lowliness He sought, On me His eyes He cast, And in me He has wrought A wonder unsurpassed! His mercies to the just From age to age He shows, But humbles in the dust His proud and haughty foes. [Chorus] 3 The mighty ones He spurns, The humble He receives, Fills the soul that yearns; The rich in want He leaves. To us, for Israel's sake, His mercies still extend; For Abram, as he spake, His love shall never end. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [O magnify the Lord!]
