Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 King, Messiah, long expected, Thou art come unto Thine own! Promised seed of the elected, Heir foretold of David’s throne! Long for Thee they watched and hearkened— King and patriarch, priest and seer; Faith waxed cold, and hope was darkened; When men looked not—Thou wert here. 2 In the time and place appointed, When the ordered years had sped, Came the Prince, the true Anointed, To His throne, the manger bed: There the infant King, fulfilling, All things for His people’s sake, Learned today obedience willing, Deigned the covenant seal to take. 3 Surely in that hour of wonder, Faithful Abraham in his rest, Saw the shadows part asunder, Saw Thy dawning, and was blest! Surely then the gracious vision Through Thine unseen kingdoms thrilled; And in Jesu’s circumcision Ages saw their hope fulfilled! 4 Father of the new creation! Prophet of the latter time! Leader of the ransomed nation To the better Canaan’s clime! Though, from Gentile stock arising, Alien branches once were we, Thou hast said, in our baptizing, We are circumcised in Thee. 5 So this day with new thanksgiving Shall Thy faithful seed draw near; So, ’mid prayers for holier living, Praise shall deck our opening year; Praise, because our feast day sees us Built on Thee, the Cornerstone; And the mighty name of Jesus Binds today the world in one.

Blest the Man That Fears Jehovah

In thy wife thou shalt have gladness, She shall fill thy home with good, Happy in her loving service And the joys of motherhood. 2. Joyful children, sons and daughters Shall about thy table meet; Olive plants in strength and beauty Full of hope and promise sweet. Lo, on him that fears Jehovah Shall this blessedness attend, For Jehovah out of Zion Shall to thee His blessing send. 3. Blest the man that fears Jehovah Walking ever in His ways. By thy toil thou shalt be prospered And be happy all thy days. Thou shalt see God’s kingdom prosper All thy days, till life shall cease, Thou shalt see thy children’s children.

Hail the Glorious Golden City

Author: Felix Adler, 1851-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the glorious golden city, pictured by the seers of old: everlasting light shines o'er it, wondrous tales of it are told. Wise and righteous men and women dwell within its gleaming wall; wrong is banished from its borders, justice reigns supreme o'er all. 2 We are builders of that city. All our joys and all our groans help to rear its shining ramparts; all our lives are building stones. Whether humble or exalted, all are called to task divine; all must aid alike to carry forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, oft with bleeding hands and tears, oft in error, and in anguish, will not perish with our years: it will live and shine transfigured in the final reign of right: it will merge into the splendors of the city of the light.
