Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, in Jesus Christ, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 God sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and freely to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore a holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharply knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us great daily works were wrought, by words, and signs, and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked foes betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 6 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 7 To God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God all praise and glory be both now and through eternity.

Alexander Appears in 410 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth; Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: Once in royal David's city 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 lowly, poor, and mean, Lived on earth our Saviour then. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 Oh, our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our God in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is 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; When like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.

The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ To Judgment; Advent of Christ To Kingdom First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead. And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Saviour did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breath'd a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Saviour to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, Oh, be our praises more!
