When came in flesh the incarnate Word

Author: Joseph Anstice, 1808-36 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #17 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WHEN came in flesh the incarnate Word, The heedless world slept on, And only simple shepherds heard That God had sent his Son. 2 When comes the Saviour at the last, From east to west shall shine The judgement light, and earth aghast Shall tremble at the sign. 3 Then shall the pure of heart be blest, As mild he comes to them, As when upon the Virgin’s breast He lay at Bethlehem: 4 As mild to meek-eyed love and faith, Only more strong to save; Strengthened by having bowed to death, By having burst the grave. 5 Lord, who could dare see thee descend In state, unless he knew Thou art the sorrowing sinner’s friend, The gracious and the true? 6 Dwell in our hearts, O Saviour blest; So shall thine advent’s dawn ’Twixt us and thee, our bosom-guest, Be but the veil withdrawn.

Thy Mercy and Thy Truth, O Lord

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #60 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy and thy truth, O Lord, transcend the lofty sky; thy judgments are a mighty deep, and as the mountains high. 2 Lord, thou preservest man and beast; since thou art ever kind, beneath the shadow of thy wings we may a refuge find. 3 With the abundance of thy house we shall be satisfied, from rivers of unfailing joy our thirst shall be supplied. 4 The fountain of eternal life is found alone with thee, and in the brightness of thy light we clearly light shall see. 5 From those that know thee may thy love and mercy ne'er depart, and may thy justice still protect and bless the upright heart.
