Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Return of Christ; Return of Christ 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 and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 For he 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 has gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing by we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high: there his children gather round bright like stars, with glory crowned.

This Same Jesus

Author: Havergal Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Lyrics: 1. "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Fall those words upon the ear, Like the swell of far off music, In a night watch still and clear, He who healed the hopeless leper, He who dried the widow's tear, He who changed to health and gladness Helpless, suff'ring, trembling fear. 2. "This same Jesus!" When the vision Of that last and awful day Bursts upon the prostrate spirit, Like a midnight lightning ray, May we lift our hearts, adoring "This same Jesus," loved and known As our own most gracious Saviour, Seated on the great white throne, 3. He himself, and "not another," He for whom our hearts have yearned Thro' long years of twilight waiting, To his ransomed ones returned; For this word, O Lord, we bless thee, Bless our Master's changeless name; Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ is still the same.
