From East to West

Author: C. Sedulius; J. Ellerton, 1826-93 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: From east to west, from shore to shore Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, Let ev'ry heart awake and sing The holy child whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold, the world's creator wears The form and fashion of our frame; Our very flesh our Maker shares, To save a fallen world He came. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of his grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word, Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary's breast Himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord Most High, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.

We read that Thou, 0 Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay. Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face. 2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending, Help us, 0 Lord, our watch to keep, In prayer devout, before Thee bending, Ere our eyelids close in sleep, Confessing sin in deed and word With hope of mercy from the Lord. 3 Abide with us; with heav'nly gladness Illumine, Lord, our darkest day; And when we weep in pain and sadness, Be Thou our solace, strength, and stay. Tell of Thy woe, Thy vict'ry won, When Thou didst pray: "God's will be done." 4 Abide with us, 0 Savior tender, That bitter day when life shall end, When to the grave we must surrender, And fear and pain our hearts shall rend. The shield of faith do Thou bestow When trembling we must meet the foe. 5 When earthly help no more availeth, To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh; Thou givest strength that never faileth, In Thee we grave and death defy. While earth is fading from our sight, Our eyes behold the realms of light. Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT

From Thy heav'nly home Thou to our vale of tears art come; Man hath no off'ring for Thee save The stable, manger, cross, and grave. 4 Jesus, alas! how can it be So few bestow a thought on Thee Or on the love, so wondrous great, That drew Thee down to our estate? 5 O draw us wholly to Thee, Lord, Do Thou to us Thy grace accord, True faith and love to us impart, That we may hold Thee in our heart. 6 Keep us, howe'er the world may lure, In our baptismal cov'nant pure; That ev'ry yearning thought may be Directed only unto Thee. 7 Until at last we, too, proclaim, With all Thy saints, Thy glorious name; In Paradise our songs renew, And praise Thee as the angels do. 8 We gather round Thee, Jesus dear, So happy in Thy presence here; Grant us, our Savior, ev'ry one, To stand in heav'n before Thy throne.

Rambach, 1693-1735; Unknown Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Eternal Son of god, O Thou Lyrics: 1 Eternal Son of God, O Thou, Before whom earth and heaven bow, Regard Thy people as they raise To Thee their songs of pray'r and praise. 2 This house they dedicate to Thee, That here they may Thy glory see; Thy body and Thy blood they here Receive, their fainting souls to cheer. 3 Here in baptismal water pure They find for sins a gracious cure; Their children here to Thee they bring, O Thou,our death-subduing King. 4 Here sin's diseases healing find, The weak grow strong, light cheers the blind; The troubled heart with peace is blest, And weariness finds heav'nly rest. 5 When tempests shake the world around, The rock-built Church secure is found; The gates of hell may here assail Whom Christ defends, but not prevail. 6 Praise to the Father, and the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One; Blest Trinity, whom we adore, Teach us to praise Thee evermore.
