Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now your gracious kingdom bring.

On Thy might and greatness dwell,
Speak of Thy dread acts the story,
And Thy deeds of wonder tell.

Works of love surpassing measure,
Works of mercy passing thought.

Slow to anger, vast in love,
God is good to all creation;
All His works His goodness prove.

King supreme shall they confess Thee,
And proclaim Thy sovereign power. Used With Tune: STUTTGART Text Sources: Metrical Version of the Psalter, 1824

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help, I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
3 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious Blood.
4 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
5 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348-c. 413; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city -
Bethlehem alone excels:
from it came the Lord from heaven,
came to rule his Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in human form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at his cradle
make their offerings rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh:
4 sacred gifts of mystic meaning -
frankincense to God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaiming,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesus, whom the gentiles worshipped
at your glad epiphany,
now to you with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Topics: Epiphany; Jesus Christ Incarnation Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Towering o'er the wrecks of time;

Gathers round its head sublime.

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way.
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: STUTTGART
