Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 408 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for His bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall: With the poor, and mean, and lowly Lived on earth, our Savior holy. 3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless; Tears and smiles like us He knew: And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Thro' His own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above, And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone.

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 313 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had; 4 And some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, for none are wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; no word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.

"The evil hour"

Author: Michael Bruce Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 First Line: Where high the heavenly temple stands Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears,-- The Guardian of mankind appears. 2 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 3 Our Fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries. 4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrow had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power, To help us in the evil hour.
