A little child the Saviour came

Author: William Robertson (1820-1864) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came, the mighty God was still his name, and angels worshipped as he lay the seeming infant of a day. 2 He who, a little child, began to show the world God's loving plan, proclaims from heaven the message free, 'Let little children come to me.' 3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign of sprinkled water name them thine: their souls with saving grace endow; baptize them with thy Spirit now. 4 O give thine angels charge, good Lord, them safely in thy way to guard; thy blessing on their lives command, and write their names upon thy hand. 5 O thou, who by an infant's tongue dost hear thy perfect glory sung, may these, with all the heavenly host, praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:2 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar, by Love's divine appointing. With rare perfume she filled the room, presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, the sneers of scorn defying. With rare perfume she filled the room, preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb by Love's divine commission. She saw, she heard, she preached the Word, arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, with resurrection gospel. She saw, she heard, she preached the Word, apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, for centuries were hidden, unsung, unwritten, and unheard, derided and forbidden, the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire, on free and slave descending, can tumble our dividing walls, our shame and sadness mending. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, by Love's divine ordaining, the friends we need, to serve and lead, their powers and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, from women, men and children, the friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome! Used With Tune: MEGERRAN

Psalm 8 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 Lyrics: Almighty Ruler of the skies, Through the wide earth thy name is spread; And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made. To thee the voices of the young A monument of honor raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David is their song, And young hosannas fill the place. The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King.
