Lord, your hands have formed this world
Glory be to God on high
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God on high,
and peace on earth descend;
God comes down, he bows the sky,
and shows himself our friend!
God the invisible appears,
God the blest, the great I AM,
sojourns in this vale of tears,
and Jesus is his name.
2 Him the angels all adored,
their maker and their king:
tidings of their humbled Lord
they now to mortals bring:
emptied of his majesty,
of his dazzling glories shorn,
being’s source begins to be,
and God himself is born!
3 See the eternal Son of God
a mortal son of man,
dwelling in an earthly clod
whom heaven cannot contain!
Stand amazed ye heavens at this!
See the Lord of earth and skies
humbled to the dust he is,
and in a manger lies!
4 We earth's children now rejoice,
the Prince of peace proclaim,
with heaven’s host lift up our voice,
and shout Emmanuel’s name;
knees and hearts to him we bow;
of our flesh, and of our bone,
Jesus is our brother now,
and God is all our own! Topics: General Liturgical Section; Proper 6 Year C Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Receive from Christ his holy word
And know his love's embrace.

The Spirit strive to build;
Where kindliness and faith increase,
The storms of life are stilled.

That all who will may come,
The lost be doubly welcome there,
The wand'rer find a home.
5 So may our doors be open wide,
And life together prove
A house where God is glorified,
And a house of praise and love.

How bright has his salvation shone,
Through all her palaces!

Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold,
Where his own sheep have been.

We'll to his house repair;
We'll think upon his wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there.
