Now the Blessed Dayspring

Author: Mary Ann Thomson, (1834-) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Now the blessed Dayspring Cometh from on high; Now, the world's Redeemer, To her aid draws nigh; Bearer of the tidings From the throne of light, To a lowly maiden, Speeds an angel bright. 2 In the chosen daughter Of King David's line, God fulfills the promise Of King Ahaz's sign: Gabriel hath spoken; Mary hath believed; And, behold, a virgin Hath a Son conceived. 3 Though He take our nature, Linked to low estate, Though He stoop to suffer, Yet shall He be great; Though His crown and scepter Be of thorn and reed, His shall be the kingdom Sworn to David's Seed. 4 Light to light the Gentiles, Bending at His throne; Glory to His people, When His sway they own; He shall reign for ever, King of kings confessed, And all tribes and kindreds Shall in Him be blest. Amen. Amen. Used With Tune: URSWICKE

See the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter Lyrics: 1 See the Conquerer mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel-voices Joyful halleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory; He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has crushed His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends, While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends, He who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels, Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own. Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE
