Wise men, they came to look for wisdom

Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom, finding one wiser than they knew; rich men, they met with one yet richer-- King of the kings, they knelt to you: Jesus, our wisdom from above, wealth and redemption, life and love. 2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries, searching for one who knows the world; lost are their names, and strange their journeys, famed is their zeal to find the child: Jesus, in you the lost are claimed, aliens are found and known and named. 3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor, led by a star to light supreme; promised Messiah, Lord eternal, glory and peace are in your name: Joy of each day, our song by night, shine on our path your holy light. 4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures, incense and gold and solemn myrrh; welcoming one too young to question how came these gifts, and what they were: Gift beyond price of gold or gem, make among us your Bethlehem.

Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace!

Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace! How excellent thy Name! Unclouded Heavens in thy Face, Thou venerable Lamb. 2 Tho' thou wast rich in Angel's Songs, Thou willingly was born To feel the Rage of mortal Tongues, Their Ridicule and Scorn. 3 Tho' thou wast rich in Pow'r supreme, Yet didst thou condescend, From Worms of Earth to suffer Shame, And Insults from the Fiend. 4 Tho' thou was rich in Righteousness, Divinely pure within; Yet didst thou feel Hell's deep Distress, When made our curse and Sin. 5 Tho' thou wast infinitely high And rich, yet didst thou take The deepest Shame and Poverty, And for the Sinner's sake: 6 That, thro' thy Poverty and Loss, We might be rich and blest; And, by the Labours of thy Cross, Might gain eternal Rest. 7 Inrich'd by all thy Loss and Smart, Thy Heav'n's on man bestow'd; Witness'd, when from thy bleeding Heart The Blood and Water flow'd. 8 Our dearest Lord, we bless thy Grace, Thy wond'rous Love admire; To see the Beauties of thy Face, May all the World desire. 9 Live Jesus, live for-ever more, Whilst all the Sons of God Thy glorious Person shall adore, And bless thy Grace and Blood.
