Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light and my salvation near; then who will cause me fright or fill my heart with fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, secure from fear my soul remains. 2 My one request has been and still this prayer I raise: that I may live within God's house for all my days, God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire. 3 When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of his tent he hides me till the storm is spent. 4 Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Behold a Little Child

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Behold a little child, laid in a manger bed; The wintry blasts blow wild around His infant head; But who is this so lowly laid? ’Tis He by whom the worlds were made. 2. Alas! in what poor state the Son of God is seen; Why did the Lord so great choose out a home so mean? That we may learn from pride to flee, And to follow His humility. 3. Where Joseph plies his trade, lo, Jesus labors, too; The hands that all things made an earthly craft pursue, That weary men in Him may rest, And faithful toil through Him be blessed. 4. Among the doctors see the Boy so full of grace; Say, wherefore taketh He the scholar’s lowly place? That children all, with reverence meet, May sit and learn at Jesus’ feet. 5. Christ, once Thyself a boy, our childhood guard and guide; Be Thou its light and joy, and still with us abide, That Thy dear love, so great and free, May draw us evermore to Thee.

What Contradictions Meet

Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What contradictions meet In ministers’ employ! It is a bitter sweet, A sorrow full of joy: No other post affords a place For equal honor, or disgrace! 2 Who can describe the pain Which faithful preachers feel; Constrained to speak, in vain, To hearts as hard as steel? Or who can tell the pleasures felt, When stubborn hearts begin to melt? 3 The Savior’s dying love, The soul’s amazing worth; Their utmost efforts move, And draw their bowels forth: They pray and strive, their rest departs, Till Christ be formed in sinners’ hearts. 4 If some small hope appear, They still are not content; But, with a jealous fear, They watch for the event: Too oft they find their hopes deceived, Then, how their inmost souls are grieved! 5 But when their pains succeed, And from the tender blade The ripening ears proceed, Their toils are overpaid: No harvest joy can equal theirs, To find the fruit of all their cares. 6 On what has now been sown Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The power is Thine alone, To make it spring and grow: Do Thou the gracious harvest raise, And Thou, alone, shalt have the praise.

Who, for that humble shrine, Didst quit th’Almighty’s throne; The infant Lord our voices sing, And be the King of grace adored. 2 Ye princes, disappear, And boast your crowns no more; Lay down your scepters here, And in the dust adore: Where Jesus dwells, the manger bare In luster far your pomp excels. 3 With Bethlem’s shepherds mild The angels bow their head; And round the sacred Child Their guardian wings they spread; They knew, that where their sovereign lies In low disguise Heav’n’s court is there. 4 Thither, my soul, repair, And early homage pay To Thy Redeemer fair As on His natal day. I kiss Thy feet, and Lord, would be A child like Thee, whom thus I greet.
