As with gladness men of old
Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 641 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold;
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onwards, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
Saviour, to thy lowly bed,
there to bend the knee before
him whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at thy homely cradle bare;
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus! every day
keep us in the narrow way;
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright,
need they no created light;
thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: DIX

beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.

his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew,
for us, the tempter overthrew.
3 For us by wickedness betrayed,
for us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us gave up his dying breath.
4 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent the Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
5 All glory to our Lord and God,
for love so deep, so high, so broad:
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Scripture: Matthew 3:13 Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS

in you to conquer sin.

and through this Passiontide,

O Lord, with us abide.

of suffering shall be past,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last.

Judge Eternal, Throned in Splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Reign of Christ; Healing; Judgment; The Life of the Nations; World Peace Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city’s crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease,
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small:
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix
où Christ expire su le bois
mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil,
prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil.
2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur
hormis la crois de mon Sauveur?
Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs,
je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir.
3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté,
du front d'épines couronné,
douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés,
descendre pour nous racheter.
4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier
ce don serait pris es pitié.
Amour si grand, si pur, si doux
veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout!

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Christmas; The Grace of Jesus Christ In Praise of Christ; Children's Choir Selections; Christian Year Christmas; Jesus Christ; Salvation Lyrics: 1. O sing a song of Bethlehem,
of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today;
of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2. O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless Boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow;
now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3. O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea
and bade the waves be still.
For though like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4. O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away.
For he who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
is mighty now to save.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James Waddell Alexander Appears in 728 hymnals Topics: Holy Week; Christ--Sacrifice of; Christian year--Holy Week; Love for Christ Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns your only crown.
O sacred head, what glory
and blessing you have known!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I claim you as my own.
2 My Lord, what you did suffer
was all for sinner's gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain.
So here I kneel, my Savior,
for I deserve your place;
look on me with thy favor
and save me by your grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest friend,
for this, your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours forever,
a loyal servant true,
and let me never, never
outlive my love to you. Scripture: Isaiah 53 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Medieval Latin
