The God of Abraham praise

Author: Thomas Olivers (1725-1799) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #162 (2008) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above, Ancient of everlasting days, and God of love. Jehovah, Great I AM! by earth and heaven confessed, I bow, and bless the sacred name for ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command from earth I rise, and seek the joys at his right hand. I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and power, and him my only portion make, my shield and tower. 3 He by himself has sworn, I on his oath depend: I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, to heaven ascend; I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore and sing the wonders of his grace for evermore. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace; on Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light for ever reigns. 5 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; 'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!' they ever cry. Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!– I join the heavenly praise– all might and majesty are thine, through endless days.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #137 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Scripture: Isaiah 9:7 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, oppressed, and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 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 should be Kind, obedient, good as He. 4 Jesus 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. 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above: And He leads His children on To the place where He has gone.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus,; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Glory to God #234 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 First Line: Come, you faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness! God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke Jacob’s sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 ’Tis the spring of souls today: Christ has burst his prison, and from three days’ sleep in death as a sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus’ resurrection! 4 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing.

Scatt'ring all the night of nature, Pouring eye-sight on our eyes! 2 Still we wait for thine appearing, Life and joy thy beams impart; Chasing all our fears, and chearing Ev'ry poor benighted heart: Come, and manifest the favour God has for our ransom'd race; Come, thou All sufficient Saviour, Come and bring thy gospel-grace. 3 Save us in thy great compassion, O thou mild pacific Prince Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins! By thine all-restoring merit, Ev'ry burden'd soul release; Ev'ry weary, wand'ring spirit, Guide into thy perfect peace. Languages: English
