Blest be the King whose coming

Author: Federico F. Pagura, b. 1923; F. Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! For him let doors be opened, no hearts against him barred! Not robed in royal splendor, in power and pomp, comes he; but clad as are the poorest, such his humility! 2 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! By those who truly listen his voice is truly heard; pity the proud and haughty, who have not learned to heed the Christ who is the Promise, who has atonement made. 3 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! He only to the humble reveals the face of God. All power is his, all glory! All things are in his hand, all ages and all peoples, till time itself shall end! 4 Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God! He offers to the burdened the rest and grace they need. Gentle is he and humble! And light his yoke shall be, for he would have us bear it so he can make us free. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN

Hearken to the anthem glorious

Author: Christopher Smart, 1722-1771 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hearken to the anthem glorious of the martyrs robed in white; they, like Christ, in death victorious dwell for ever in the light. 2. Living, they proclaimed salvation, heaven-endowed with grace and power; and they died in imitation of their Savior's final hour. 3. Christ, for cruel traitors pleading, triumphed in his parting breath o'er all miracles preceding his inestimable death. 4. Take from him what ye will give him, of his fullness grace for grace; strive to think him, speak him, live him, till you find him face to face.

Name of mercy mild, given to the holy child when the cup of human woe first he tasted here below. 5. Jesus! only Name that's given, under all the mighty heaven, whereby those to sin enslaved, burst their fetters and are saved. 6. Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; pleading only this we flee, helpless, O our God, to thee. Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Holy Name: New Year (January 1) Used With Tune: LOUEZ DIEU

Come now, and praise the humble saint of David's house and line, the carpenter whose life fulfilled our gracious God's design. 2.

For him there was no glory here, no crown or martyr's fame; for him there was the patient life of faith and humble name. 4. But now within the Father's grace where saints and angels throng, beside his spouse, before the Son, he joins the heavenly song.
