Within the Father's House

Author: James R. Woodford Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house The Son hath found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come. 2 Men wise in Sacred Writ Gaze on the wondrous Child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. 3 Yet not to them is given The mighty truth to know, To lift the earthly veil which hides Incarnate God below. 4 The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pondering hearts await The full Epiphany. 5 Lord, visit Thou our souls, And teach us by Thy grace Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace; 6 Till from our darkened sight The cloud shall pass away, And on the cleansèd soul shall burst The everlasting day; 7 Till we behold Thy face And know, as we are known, Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One. Amen.

A Great and Mighty Wonder

Author: Anatolius Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and might wonder Our Christmas festal brings; On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. 3 And we, with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth, to men!" 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Saviour and the Lord! 5 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen.

Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His Name, Whose favors are divine. 2 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love, When ransomed from the grave. He that redeemed my soul from death Hath sovereign power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for the opprest. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His belovèd Son.

Amen.

Amen.
