Sanctification and Pardon

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Sanctification First Line: Where shall we sinners hide our heads Lyrics: 1 Where shall we sinners hide our heads, Can rocks or mountains save? Or shall we wrap us in the shades Of midnight and the grave? 2 Is there no shelter from the eye Of a revenging God? Jesus, to thy dear wounds we fly, Bedew us with thy blood, 3 Those guardian drops our souls secure, And wash away our sins; Eternal justice frowns no more, And conscience smiles within. 4 We bless that wondrous purple stream That cleanses every stain; Yet are our souls but half redeem'd, If sin, the tyrant, reign. 5 Lord, blast his empire with thy breath, That cursed throne must fall; Ye flattering plagues, that work our death, Fly, for we hate you all.

Suddenly appeared a shining throng of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful song: 6 "All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace; to those on whom his favor rests goodwill shall never cease." Psalter Hymnal, 1987

We Three Kings of Orient Are

Author: John H. Hopkins Meter: 8.8.4.4.6 with refrain Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Refrain First Line: O star of wonder, star of night Lyrics: 1 We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light. 2 Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown him again, King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign. [Refrain] 3 Frankincense to offer have I; incense owns a Deity nigh; prayer and praising, voices raising, worshiping God on high. [Refrain] 4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom; sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain] 5 Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice: Alleluia, Alleluia, sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain] United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: E. S. Elliot Meter: Irregular Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti Meter: Irregular Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone: snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day, a breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: enough for him whom angels fall down before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. 4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss. 5 What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him, give my heart. Church Hymnary (4th ed.) (2005)
