While with ceaseless course the sun

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #31 (1871) Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run; Never more to meet us here: Fix'd in an eternal state, They have done with all below: We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the wingèd arrow flies Speedily the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view: Bless Thy word to young and old; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above.

The ancient law departs

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #32 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The ancient law departs And all its terrors cease; For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of peace. 2 The Light of Light divine, True Brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, A holy, spotless Child. 3 To-day the Name is Thine, At which we bend the knee; They call Thee Jesus, Child divine! Our Jesus deign to be. Topics: Circumcision Languages: English

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #33 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus! Name decreed of old: To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave-- "Jesus shall His people save." 4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 5 Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to Thee. Topics: Circumcision Languages: English

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #34 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemn'd and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth: Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever, That Name to us is Love.

How wondrous and great

Thou only art holy, Thou only supreme. 2 To nations long dark Thy light shall be shown; Their worship and vows Shall come to Thy throne: Thy truth and Thy judgments Shall spread all abroad, Till earth's every people Confess Thee their God.

Rise, crown'd with light, imperial Salem, rise

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #36 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Rise, crown'd with light, imperial Salem, rise; Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes: See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn, See future sons, and daughters yet unborn, In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See thy bright altars throng'd with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fix'd His word, His saving power remains; Thy realms shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #37 (1871) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Lo! hills and mountains shall bring forth

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #38 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo! hills and mountains shall bring forth The happy fruits of peace, Which all the land shall own to be The work of righteousness; 2 While David's Son our needy race Shall rule with gentle sway; And from their humble neck shall take Oppressive yokes away. 3 In every heart Thy awful fear Shall then be rooted fast, As long as sun and moon endure, Or time itself shall last. 4 He shall descend like rain, that cheers The meadow's second birth; Or like warm showers, whose gentle drops Refresh the thirsty earth. 5 In His blest days the just and good Shall spring up all around; The happy land shall everywhere With endless peace abound. 6 His uncontroll'd dominion shall From sea to sea extend; Begin at proud Euphrates' stream, At nature's limits end. 7 To Him the savage nations round Shall bow their servile heads; His vanquish'd foes shall lick the dust, Where He His conquest spreads. 8 The kings of Tarshish and the isles Shall costly presents bring; From spicy Sheba gifts shall come, And wealthy Saba's king. 9 To Him shall every king on earth His humble homage pay; And differing nations gladly join To own His righteous sway. 10 For He shall set the needy free, When they for succour cry; Shall save the helpless and the poor, And all their wants supply. 11 For Him shall constant prayer be made, Through all His prosperous days: His just dominion shall afford A lasting theme of praise. 12 The memory of His glorious name Through endless years shall run; His spotless fame shall shine as bright And lasting as the sun. 13 In Him the nations of the world Shall be completely bless'd, And His unbounded happiness by every tongue confess'd. 14 Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord, The God Whom Israel fears; Who only wondrous in His works Beyond compare, appears. 15 Let earth be with His glory fill'd For ever bless His name; Whilst to His praise the listening world Their glad assent proclaim.

Give the knowledge of salvation, Fix our hearts on things above. 6 By Thine all-sufficient merit Every burden'd soul release: By the presence of Thy Spirit, Guide us into perfect peace.
