Did'st thou O Saviour! condecend

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #XXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Circumcision of Christ & New Years Lyrics: 1 Did'st thou O Saviour! condecend To take a human birth? Thou art our great and dearest friend That ever was on earth. 2 To make attonements for our guilt, As justice did demand; When circumcis'd thy blood was spilt And shed by human hand. 3 At the first shedding of thy blood Salvation was began; When thou, who art the Mighty God Was't circumcis'd as man. 4 Sweet is the sound of thy bless'd name! Where e'er it is applied: Thou art thy-self become the same What thy name signified. 5 Thy blood became the saving means For all the human race: To cleanse them from their countless sins, And make them heirs of grace. 6 What great, what condecending love! Did the dear Saviour show, When he left all the heav'ns above To save us here below. Scripture: Luke 2:21 Languages: English

The year begins with Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #175 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Circumcision of Christ Lyrics: 1 The year begins with Thee, And Thou begin'st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast Are not enough, the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to Thee Under the yoke to lie? 4 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from His birth takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 5 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright endless year.

Jesu! – the very thought is sweet!

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #291b (1986) Topics: The Circumcision of Christ January 1st Lyrics: 1 Jesu! the very thought is sweet! In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But sweeter than the honey far The glimpses of his presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss: No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn! How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, O how kind! But what art thou to them that find? 4 Jesu, thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, Light of souls distrest, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus! what thou art. 6 *I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 7 *With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For him, with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 8 *Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne; My heart hath also passed from me, That where he is there it may be. 9 We follow Jesus, now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With him to gain the heav'nly seat. Amen. Tune Title: THE ROSY SEQUENCE

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest. 3 Dear name! the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treasury filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.
