Blessed Savior, Thou Didst Suffer

Author: Grace Ednay Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9644 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Blessèd Savior, Thou didst suffer Little ones to come to Thee. Lo! we offer now our tribute, Let our praise accepted be; ’Mid the hallelujahs ringing, ’Mid the burst of angel song, Stoop to hear our childish singing, Listen to an infant throng. 2 For a cry of deepest sorrow Comes across the waters blue: Ye who know salvation’s story, Haste to help and save us, too; Shed, oh, shed the Gospel glory O’er the darkness of our night, Till the gloomy shadows vanish In its full and blessèd light. 3 For the poor benighted millions We can give and work and pray, And our gifts and prayers united, Sure will speed that happy day, When, no more to idols bowing, All shall own our Jesus king, And ten thousand voices ringing Shall His praise victorious sing.

Better Far Than Life To Me

[Refrain] 4 Higher than the hills that circle ’Round Thy throne in Heaven above, Deeper than the mighty ocean Is Thy vast eternal love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CALON LÂN

The Legion Dispossessed

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11907 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Legion was my name, by nature Lyrics: 1 Legion was my name, by nature Satan raged within my breast; Never misery was greater, Never sinner more possessed: Mischievous to all around me, To myself the greatest foe; Thus I was when Jesus found me, Filled with madness, sin, and woe. 2 Yet in this forlorn condition When He came to set me free; I replied to my physician, "What have I to do with Thee?" But He would not be prevented, Rescued me against my will; Had He stayed ’till I consented, I had been a captive still. 3 "Satan, though thou fain would’st have it, Know this soul is none of thine; I have shed My blood to save it, Now I challenge it for Mine; Though it long has thee resembled, Henceforth it shall Me obey"; Thus He spoke, while Satan trembled, Gnashed his teeth, and fled away. 4 Thus my frantic soul He healèd, Bid my sins and sorrows cease; "Take," said He, "My pardon sealèd, I have saved thee, go in peace"; Rather take me, Lord, to Heaven, Now Thy love and grace I know; Since Thou hast my sins forgiven, Why should I remain below? 5 "Love," He said, "will sweeten labors, Thou hast something yet to do: Go and tell your friends and neighbors, What My love has done for you: Live to manifest My glory, Wait for Heav’n a little space; Sinners, when they hear thy story, Will repent and seek My face."

Christ Is Born of Blessed Mary

Author: Harriet M. Kimball Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12739 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Christ is born of blessed Mary! Lyrics: 1 Christ is born of blessed Mary! Sing the wondrous life begun! Man divine and God incarnate! Israel, lo! thy Holy One! Now fulfilled the prophet’s vision; See the Child, the Lord of all, Stripped, indeed, of heav’nly splendor, Choosing for His couch a stall. 2 Thou, O Israel’s God and Savior, Verily Thyself dost hide; Clad in flesh, disguised in weakness, All Thou hast by earth supplied. Very God from everlasting As a helpless babe revealed, Mary’s breast Thy transient pillow, Mary’s arms Thy only shield! 3 Wonderful, the seer proclaimed Thee, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace, King whose everlasting kingdom Shall forevermore increase! Yet no royal sign or title Could Thy boundless grace declare Like that name of endless sweetness Thou for us alone dost bear. 4 Jesus!—Savior of His people! Jesus!—Shepherd of His flock! Well of life, and hidden manna; Wayside strength, and tower of rock! Jesus, see Thy church adoring Prostrate at Thine infant feet, Her Redeemer’s praise outpouring In that name of names most sweet!

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

Author: William R. Wallace Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15167 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: They say that man is mighty Lyrics: 1 They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea; He wields a mighty scepter O’er lesser powers that be; By a mightier power and stronger, Man from his throne is hurled, And the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. 2 Blessings on the hand of woman! Angels guard its strength and grace, In the palace, cottage, hovel, Oh, no matter where the place! Would that never storms assailed it, Rainbows ever gently curled; For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. 3 Infancy’s the tender fountain, Power may with beauty flow; Mother’s first to guide the streamlets, From them souls unresting grow; Grow on for the good or evil, Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled; For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. 4 Woman, how divine your mission Here upon our natal sod! Keep, oh, keep the young heart open Always to the breath of God! All true trophies of the ages Are from mother-love impearled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. 5 Blessings on the hand of woman! Fathers, sons and daughters cry, And the sacred song is mingled With the worship in the sky— Mingles where no tempest darkens, Rainbows evermore are curled; For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.

I Seek Not Life's Ease and Pleasures

Author: Rees Harris, 1874- Hymnal: The Abingdon Song Book #258 (1938) Refrain First Line: A clean heart o'erflown with goodness Lyrics: 1 I seek not life’s ease and pleasures, Earthly riches, pearls, nor gold; Give to me a heart made happy, Clean and honest to unfold. Chorus: A clean heart o’erflown with goodness, Fairer than the lilies bright; A clean heart for ever singing, Singing thro’ the day and night. 2 If I cherish earthly treasures, Swift they flee and all is vain; A clean heart enriched with virtues Brings to me eternal gain. [Chorus] 3 Morn and evening my petition Wings its flight to heaven in song; In the name of my Redeemer, Make my heart clean, pure, and strong. [Chorus] Amen.
