O Word of God Incarnate

Author: William W. How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 490 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ, Our Lord Person of Christ; Advent Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky: we praise Thee for the radiance that from the hallowed page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The church from Thee, our Savior, received the gift divine, and still that light she lifteth o'er all the earth to shine. It is the sacred vessel where gems of truth are stored; it is the heav'n-drawn picture of Christ, the living Word. 3 The Scripture is a banner before God's host unfurled; it is a shining beacon above the darkling world. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging tide, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, to Thee, O Christ, will guide. 4 O make Thy church, dear Savior, a lamp of purist gold, to bear before the nations Thy true light as of old. O teach Thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see Thee face to face. Scripture: Luke 24:13-44 Used With Tune: MUNICH

Traveler, ages are its own, And it bursts o'er all the earth! 3 Watchman, tell us of the night; For the morning seems to dawn: Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn.

O Holy Father, who in tender love

Author: Bp. E. H. Bickersteth, 1825-1906 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Advent Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Holy Father, who in tender love Didst give Thine only Son for us to die, The while He pleads at Thy right hand above, We in One Spirit now with faith draw nigh, And, as we eat this Bread and drink this Wine, Plead His once offered Sacrifice Divine. 2 We are not worthy to be called Thy sons, Nor gather up the fragments of Thy feast; Yet look on us, Thy sorrowing contrite ones, On us in Him our Advocate and Priest, Whose robe is fringed with mercy's golden bells, Whose breastplate fathomless compassion tells. 3 O hear us, For Thou always hearest Him; Behold us sprinkled with His precious blood; And from between the shadowing cherubim Shine forth, and grant us in this heavenly food Foretastes of coming glory, and meanwhile A Father's blessing and a Father's smile. 4 Nor only, Father, in Thy presence here Low at Thy footstool for ourselves we pray, But for the loved ones to our hearts most near At home or toiling in far lands away; O guard them, guide them, comfort and befriend, And keep them Thine unfaltering to the end. 5 And, Father, ere we leave Thy mercy-throne, Bound by these sacred pledges, yet most free, We give our hearts, and not our hearts alone, But all we are and all we have to thee; Glad free-will offerings all our pilgrim days, Hereafter an eternity of praise.
