Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand,
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descended,
our full homage to command.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture
in the body and the blood -
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descending
from the realms of endless day;
that the powers of hell may vanquish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry:
alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord Most High! Topics: Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent; Holy Communion Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: From the Liturgy of St. James

Manifestation t othe Gentiles
Meter: Irregular Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:1-2 First Line: Sons of men, behold from far Lyrics: 1 Sons of men, behold from far,
Hail the long expected star;

Guides bewilder'd nature right.

Wars, or pestilence below;
Wars are quell'd and tumults cease,
As appears the Prince of Peace.
3 Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing thro' the shades of death;
Scatt'ring error’s wide spread night,
Kindling darkness into light.
4 Nations all, far off and near,
Haste to see your Lord appear;
Haste, for him your hearts prepare,
Meet him manifested there.
5 There behold the day spring rise,
Pouring eye sight on your eyes;
God in his own light survey,
Shining to the perfect day.
6 Sing ye morning stars again;
God descends on earth to reign!
Deigns for man his life t' employ,
Shout ye sons of God, for joy.

Charm me in Immanuel's name;
All her hopes my spirit owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.

"Glory be to God on high:"
Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room,--
And canst thou, my tongue, be still?
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.
5 O my Saviour! Shield and Sun,
Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend--
Every precious name in one!
I will love thee without end. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Immanuel; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: NOMEN JESU
