When Jesus left his Father's throne

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left his Father's throne, he chose an humble birth; like us, unhonored and unknown, he came to dwell on earth. Like him may we be found below in wisdom's paths of peace; like him in grace and knowledge grow as years and strength increase. 2 Sweet were his words and kind his look, when mothers round him pressed; their infants in his arms he took, and on his bosom blessed. Safe from the world's alluring harms, beneath his watchful eye, thus in the circle of his arms may we for ever lie. 3 When Jesus into Zion rode, the children sang around; for joy they plucked the palms and strowed their garments on the ground. Hosanna our glad voices raise, hosanna to our King! Should we forget our Savior's praise, the stones themselves would sing. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

They cast their nets in Galilee

Author: William Alexander Percy, 1885-1942 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They cast their nets in Galilee just off the hills of brown; such happy, simple fisher-folk, before the Lord came down. 2 Contented, peaceful fishermen, before they ever knew the peace of God that filled their hearts brimful, and broke them too. 3 Young John who trimmed the flapping sail, homeless, in Patmos died. Peter, who hauled the teeming net, head-down was crucified. 4 The peace of God, it is no peace, but strife closed in the sod. Yet let us pray for but one thing- the marvelous peace of God.
