Alpha and Omega

Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending he, Of the things that are, that have been, And that future years shall see, Evermore and evermore! 2 At his word the worlds were framèd; He commanded; it was done: Heaven and earth and depths of ocean In their threefold order one; All that grows beneath the shining Of the moon and burning sun, Evermore and evermore! 3 He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam’s children, Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! 4 Christ, to thee, with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to thee, Hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving, And unwearied praises be, Honor, glory, and dominion, And eternal victory, Evermore and evermore!

"The child Jesus"

Appears in 432 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of First Line: Once in royal David's city 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 lowly, poor, and mean, Lived on earth our Saviour then. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. 4 Oh, our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our God in heaven above; And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him; but in heaven, Set at God’s right hand on high; When like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.

"Star of the East"

Appears in 932 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! 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, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountains, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favor 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. Used With Tune: NINIAN
