Gloomy Night Embraced The Place

Author: Richard Crashaw Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gloomy night embraced the place Wherein the noble Infant lay: The Babe looked up and showed His face; In spite of darkness, it was day! It was Thy day, sweet! and did rise Not from the east, but from Thine eyes. 2 We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest, Young dawn of our eternal day! We saw Thine eyes break from the east And chase the trembling shades away; We saw Thee, and we blessed the sight; We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light. 3 Welcome, all wonders in one sight! Eternity shut in a span! Summer in winter, day in night! Heaven on earth, and God in Man! Great little One! Whose lowly birth, Lifts earth to Heav’n, stoops Heav’n to earth. 4 To Thee, meek Majesty! soft King Of simple graces and sweet loves; Each one of us his lamb will bring, And each his pair of silver doves; Till burnt in fire of Thy fair eyes, Ourselves become our sacrifice!

Oh Hand Of Bounty, Largely Spread

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh hand of bounty, largely spread. By whom our every want is fed, Whate’er we touch, or taste, or see, We owe them all, oh Lord! to Thee; The corn, the oil, the purple wine, Are all Thy gifts, and only Thine! 2 The stream Thy word to nectar dyed. The bread Thy blessing multiplied, The stormy wind, the whelming flood, That silent at Thy mandate stood, How well they knew Thy voice divine, Whose works they were, and only Thine! 3 Though now no more on earth we trace Thy footsteps of celestial grace, Obedient to Thy word and will We seek Thy daily mercy still; Its blessèd beams around us shine. And Thine we are, and only Thine! Used With Tune: LEST WE FORGET Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Service of the Year (London: J. Murray, 1827)

Servant of God, And Son Of Man

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, and Son of Man, Eternal Son of God Most High; Fulfill the great redeeming plan, Which brought Thee, Savior, from the sky, Anointed by Thy Spirit and sealed, With all His glorious fullness filled. 2 His soul’s delight, His best beloved, Give us Thyself and Him to know; The righteousness by God approved, To us poor sinful Gentiles show; The righteousness which faith imparts, Impute, implant it on our hearts. 3 Jesus, for this we still attend, Thy kingdom in the isles to prove, The law of sin and death to end, We wait for all the power of love; The law of perfect liberty, The law of life, which is in Thee! 4 O might it now from Thee proceed, With Thee, into the souls of men; Throughout the world Thy Gospel spread, And let Thy glorious Spirit reign, On all the ransomed race bestowed, And fill the universe with God.
