Greet His approach, ye saints, again, With hymns of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be; Our God the form of slave puts on A race of slaves to free. 3 Daughter of Sion, rise To meet thy lowly king, Nor let the faithless heart despise The peace He comes to bring. 4 As judge in clouds of light, He soon shall come again, And all His scattered saints unite With Him in Heav’n to reign. 5 Before that dreadful day May all our sins be gone; The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. 6 Jesu, all praise to Thee, Our joy and endless rest; We pray Thee here our guide to be, Our crown amid the blest.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion Lord! The house of Thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Saviour and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 6 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

Within the Father's House

Author: James Russell Woodford Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house The Son hath found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come. 2 Men wise in Sacred Writ Gaze on the wondrous Child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. 3 Yet not to them is given The mighty truth to know, To lift the earthly veil which hides Incarnate God below. 4 The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pondering hearts await The full Epiphany. 5 Lord, visit Thou our souls, And teach us by Thy grace Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace; 6 Till from our darkened sight The cloud shall pass away, And on the cleansèd soul shall burst The everlasting day; 7 Till we behold Thy face And know, as we are known, Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One. Amen. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany, First Sunday; Spiritual Blindness; Christ Longing for; Names and Office of Christ Lord of life Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
