Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor, oppressed, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us He grew;
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew;
And He feels for all our sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love,
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

Behold! what wondrous grace
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 350 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 Behold! what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God.
2 Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their King,
God's everlasting Son.
3 Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But, when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
4 A hope, so much divine,
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ, the Lord, is pure.
5 If, in my Father's love,
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
6 We would no longer lie,
Like slaves, beneath the throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father! cry,
And thou the kindred own. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Acceptance with God
Behold! what wondrous grace
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697-1769; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
whose depth unfathomed, no-one knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest, till it finds rest in thee.
2 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see;
O when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
3 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of every motion there!
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it hath found repose in thee.
4 O Love, thy sovereign aid impart
to save me from low-thoughted care;
chase this self-will through all my heart,
through all its latent mazes there;
make me thy duteous child, that I
ceaseless may 'Abba, Father!' cry.
5 Each moment draw from earth away
my heart, that lowly waits thy call;
speak to my inmost soul, and say
'I am thy Love, thy God, thy all!'
To feel thy power, to hear thy voice,
to taste thy love, be all my choice. Used With Tune: VATER UNSER

Author: Walter Chalmers Smith (1824-1908) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soaring above
thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
then wither and perish, but nought changeth thee.

thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth thee. Topics: Angels; Praise of God Used With Tune: ST DENIO

As when the weary traveler gains
Author: Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 As when the weary traveler gains
The height of some o'erlooking hill,
His heart revives, if, 'cross the plains,
He eyes his home, though distant still.
2 So when the Christian pilgrim views,
By faith, his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell
With Jesus in the realms of day;
Then shall I bid my cares farewell,
And he will wipe my tears away.
