The World Is Grown Old
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The world is grown old, and her pleasures are past Lyrics: 1 The world is grown old, and her pleasures are past;
The world is grown old, and her form may not last;
The world is grown old, and trembles for fear;
For sorrows abound, and judgment is near!
2 The sun in the heaven is languid and pale,
And feeble and few are the fruits of the vale;
The hearts of the nations all fail them for fear,
The world is grown old, and judgment is near!
3 The king on his throne, the bride in her bower,
The children of pleasure all feel the sad hour;
The roses are faded, and tasteless the cheer,
The world is grown old, and judgment is near!
4 The world is grown old, but should we complain?
We tried her and know that her promises are vain.
Our heart is in Heaven, our home is not here:
We look for our crown when judgment is near! Used With Tune: JAIPUR Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Church Service of the Year (London: J. Murray, 1827)

O Come, Little Children
O Mercy Divine, O Couldst Thou Incline
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O mercy divine, O couldst Thou incline,
My God, to become such as infant as mine?
What wonder of grace: The Ancient of Days
Is found in the likeness of Adam’s frail race!
2. He comes from on high, who fashioned the sky,
And meekly vouchsafes in a manger to lie;
Our God ever blest, with oxen doth rest,
Is nursed by His creature and hangs at the breast.
3. So heavenly-mild, His innocence smiled,
No wonder the mother would worship the Child,
The angels she knew had worshipped Him, too,
And still they confess adoration His due.
4. On Jesus’ face, with eager amaze,
And pleasure ecstatic the cherubim gaze;
Their newly born King, transported they sing,
And Heaven and earth with the triumph doth ring.
5. The shepherds behold Him, the promised of old,
By angels attended, by prophets foretold;
The wise men adore now, and bring Him their store,
The rich are permitted to follow the poor.
6. To the inn they repair, to see the young Heir;
The inn is a palace, for Jesus is there!
Who now would be great, and not rather wait
On Jesus their Lord in His humble estate?
7. Like Him would I be, my Master I see
In a stable; a manger shall satisfy me;
And here will I lie, till raised up on high,
With Him on the cross I recover the sky. Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 16, alt.

When the Church of Jesus
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: When the Church of Jesus Shuts its outer door Lyrics: 1. When the church of Jesus
Shuts its outer door,
Lest the roar of traffic
Drown the voice of prayer:
May our prayers, Lord, make us
Ten times more aware
That the world we banish
Is our Christian care.
2. If our hearts are lifted
Where devotion soars
High above this hungry
Suff'ring world of ours:
Lest our hymns should drug us
To forget its needs,
Forge our Christian worship
Into Christian deeds.
3. Lest the gifts we offer,
Money, talents, time,
Serve to salve our conscience
To our secret shame:
Lord, reprove, inspire us
By the way You give;
Teach us, dying Savior,
How true Christians live. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:17 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON
