Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-); Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown, a breath unseen, unheard; as though within a heart of stone, or shriveled seed in darkness sown, a pulse of being stirred. 2 He comes when souls in silence lie and thoughts of day depart, half-seen upon the inward eye, a falling star across the sky of night within the heart. 3 He comes to us in sound of seas, the ocean's fume and foam; yet small and still upon the breeze, a wind that stirs the tops of trees, a voice to call us home. 4 He comes in love as once he came by flesh and blood and birth; to bear within our mortal frame a life, a death, a saving name for every child of earth. 5 He comes in truth when faith is grown; believed, obeyed, adored: the Christ in all the Scriptures shown, as yet unseen, but not unknown, our Saviour and our Lord.

'Tis from the treasures of his word

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: ['Tis from the treasures of his word I borrow titles for my Lord; Nor art nor nature can supply Sufficient forms of majesty. Bright image of the Father's face, Shining with undiminished rays; Th' eternal God's eternal Son, The heir and partner of his throne.] The King of kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own name upon his thigh He wears a garment dipped in blood, And breaks the nations with his rod. Where grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injured love; Awakes his wrath without delay, And Judah's Lion tears the prey. But when for works of peace he comes, What winning titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor bears those characters in vain. With tender pity in his heart, He acts the Mediator's part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the names he wears. At length the Judge his throne ascends, Divides the rebels from his friends, And saints in full fruition prove His rich variety of love. Topics: Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom; Sufferings and kingdom of Christ; Christ his death and resurrection; Death and resurrection of Christ; Death and sufferings of Christ; Sacrifice; Blood of Christ cleansing from sin; Christ his obedience and death; Christ his sufferings for our salvation; Glory of God in our salvation; God glorified, and sinners saved; Salvation by Christ
