O Jesus, King of glory!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #51 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 O JESUS, King of glory! Both David’s God and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In heaven is fixed Thy throne; Help, that in earth’s dominions, Throughout from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The eastern sages, bringing Their tribute-gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom, And humbly bow the knee; To Thee the star is pointing, To Thee th'inspired Word; Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our Saviour and our Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by Thy Word we're told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jewelled crown, Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thou ever teem'st with goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thine almighty arm, That they may dwell in safety From those who mean them harm. 5 Ah look on me with pity, Though I am weak and poor, Admit me to Thy kingdom, To dwell there, blest and sure. I pray Thee, keep and guide me Safe from my bitter foes, From sin and death, and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far; Help me confess Thee truly, And with Thy Christendom Here own Thee King and Saviour And in the world to come.

Why, Herod, unrelenting foe

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #52 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 WHY, Herod, unrelenting foe, Does Christ the Lord’s birth move Thee so? He doth no earthly kingdom crave, Who unto us heaven's kingdom gave. 2 The star before the wise men goes, This light to them the true Light shows; They, by the three gifts which they bring, Declare this child: God, Man, and King. 3 He was baptized in Jordan's flood, The holy, heavenly Lamb of God, And thereby He who did no sin, From all our sins hath washed us clean. 4 And now a miracle was done: Six waterpots stood there of stone; Christ spake the word with power divine: The water reddened into wine. 5 All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.

Angels, from the realms of glory

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #53 (1893) Meter: 8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 ANGELS, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night; God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the heav'nly Light: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Sages, leave your contemplations; Brighter visions beam afar: Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord descending, In His temple shall apear: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #54 (1893) Meter: 8.5.8.4.7.7 Lyrics: 1 IN peace and joy I now depart, At God's disposing; For full of comfort is my heart, Soft reposing; So the Lord hath promised me, And death for me is but a slumber. 2 'Tis Christ that wrought this work for me, My faithful Saviour, Whom Thou hast made mine eyes to see By Thy favor; Now I know, He is my Life, My Help in need and dying. 3 Him Thou hast unto all set forth, Their great Salvation, And to His kingdom called the earth-- Every nation, By Thy dead and wholesome Word, In every place resounding. 4 He is the Hope and saving Light Of lands benighted, By Him are they who dwelt in night Fed and lighted; He is Israel's Praise and Bliss, Their Joy, Reward, and Glory.

Light of the Gentile nations

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #55 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 LIGHT of the Gentile nations, Thy people's Joy and Love! Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in every place Where Thy true Word hath promised That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gladly grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines 'mid pain and loss, Our Sun in times of terror, The Glory round our cross; A Glow in sinking spirits, A Sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness; In death, our Happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, So that his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Saviour, And here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith: Within Thy heart abiding, As thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee. 6 Lord, here on earth Thou seemest At times to frown on me, And through my tears I often Can scarce distinguish Thee; But in the heavenly mansions Shall nothing dim my sight, And I shall see forever Thine always glorious light.

O dearest Jesus, Thee I pray

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #56 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O DEAREST Jesus, Thee I pray: Within my heart now make thy stay, That I, like Simeon of old, By faith may gladly Thee infold. 2 Thou art my Life and Happiness, Whom God hath sent, my soul to bless: O cleanse and purify my heart, That from Thy paths I ne'er depart. 3 Lord, with Thy light show me the way, That never I may go astray; Ward off all sorrow and despair, And let me be Thine own fore'er. 4 Lift up Thy face upon me, Lord, In life and death Thy help afford; Then I'll depart most cheerfully This life, whene'er it pleaseth Thee.

Thank God! my Jesus cleanseth me

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #57 (1893) Lyrics: 1 THANK God! my Jesus cleanseth me From all sins I committed, He paid my debt and set me free, I, therefore, am acquitted Of sin's and Satan's bondage fell; My faith now laughs at death and hell, Because my life is Jesus. 2 Why should I grieve? He who fulfilled The Law, thus to release us; He who His Father's wrath has stilled By His own death, this Jesus Still liveth, and all that He hath He giveth unto me through faith; Is there a greater treasure? 3 Because my Jesus cleanseth me From sin by His own merit, I am from pain and fear set free, Death cannot daunt my spirit, I trust in Jesus' righteousness, His innocence and blessedness Are now my life and treasure. 4 Now I, like Simeon, can end My life in peace and gladness, And to my God I can commend My spirit without sadness; For when my weary eyes I close, My death becomes a sweet repose, I see the joys of heaven. 5 How happy, therefore, shall I be, When life's frail thread is broken; When holy angels carry me To joys that ne'er were spoken; When I behold Him face to face, When I have gained that blessed place, Prepared for me by Jesus. 6 Lord, grant that e'er prepared I be, That naught from Thee me sever. And when I die, let me with Thee In glory live forever; Come quickly to deliver me Lord, by Thy death and agony, Yea, come, Lord Jesus! Amen. Topics: Presentation Languages: English

A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #58 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 A LAMB goes uncomplaining forth, The guilt of all men bearing; 'Tis laden with the sin of earth; None else the burden sharing It goes its way, grows weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, Its spotless life to offer; Bears shame, and stripes, and wounds, and death, Anguish and mockery, and saith, "Willing all this I suffer." 2 This Lamb is Christ, the soul's great Friend And everlasting Saviour; Him, Him God chose, sin's reign to end And bring us to His favor "Go forth, my Son!" He said, "and bail The children, who are doomed to hell Without Thine intercession. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And save them from perdition." 3 "Yea, Father, yea, most willingly I'll bear what Thou commandest; My will conforms to Thy decree, I do what Thou demandest." O wondrous Love! what hast Thou done! The Father offers up His Son, The Son content descendeth! O Love! O Love! how strong art Thou! In shroud and grave Thou lay'st Him low Whose word the mountains rendeth! 4 Thou lay'st him, Love, upon the cross, With nails and spikes Him bruising; Thou slay'st Him as a lamb, His loss, From soul and body oozing; From body 'tis the crimson flood Of precious sacrificial blood, From soul, the strength of anguish: My gain it is; sweet Lamb to Thee What can I give, whose love to me For me doth make Thee languish? 5 Lord, all my life I'll cleave to Thee, Thy love fore'er beholding, Thee ever, as Thou ever me, With loving arms enfolding. Yea, Thou shalt be my Beacon-light, To guide me safe through death's dark night, And cheer my heart in sorrow; Henceforth myself and all that's mine to Thee, my Saviour, I consign, From whom all things I borrow. 6 By morn and eve my theme shall be Thy mercy's wondrous measure; To sacrifice myself to Thee, My foremost aim and pleasure. My stream of life shall flow for Thee, Its steadfast current ceaselessly In praise to Thee outpouring; And all that Thou hast done for me, I'll treasure in my memory, Thy gracious love adoring. 7 Dilate, shrine of my heart, and swell, To Thee shall now be given A treasure that doth far excel The worth of earth and heaven. Away with the Arabian gold, With treasures of an earthly mold! I found a better jewel. My priceless treasure, Lord my God, Is Thy most holy, precious blood, Which flowed from wounds so cruel. 8 This treasure ever I'll employ, This ever aid shall yield me; In sorrow it shall be my joy, In conflict it shall shield me; In joy, the music of my feast, And when all else has lost its zest, This manna still shall feed me; In thirst my drink; in want my food; My company in solitude, To comfort and to lead me. 9 Death's poison cannot harm me now, Thy blood new life bestoweth; My Shadow from the heat art Thou, When noonday's sunlight gloweth, When I'm by inward grief opprest, On Thee my weary soul shall rest, As sick man on his pillow. Thou art my Anchor, when be woe My bark is driven to fro On trouble's restless billow. 10 And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom's pleasure, Thy blood shall then my purple be, I'll clothe me in this treasure; It then shall be my glorious crown Thus I'll appear before the throne Of God, and need not hide me; And shall, by Him to Thee betrothed, By Thee in bridal garments clothed, Stand as a bride beside Thee.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #59 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ALAS! and did my Saviour bleed And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes in tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

Behold the Saviour of mankind

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #60 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 BEHOLD the Savior of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for Thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend! The temple's vail in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done; the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul!" He cries: See where He bows His sacred head! He bows His head and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine. O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like Thine? Topics: Passion Languages: English
