The Son Forsook the Father's Home

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. The Son forsook the Father’s home For mercy to lost man, And did not scorn the virgin’s womb To bear the sinner’s ban. 2. Meekly the maiden pure believed The great archangel’s word, And by the Holy Ghost conceived The Savior Christ the Lord. 3. The Word made flesh creation sees, Its mighty God in man: Great mystery of mysteries Since ever time began! 4. That we might gain a second birth The Holy Son was giv’n: ’Twas God Himself came down to earth To win us back to Heav’n. 5. Lord! we believe with love and praise This wondrous truth of Thee: Thereby in all our troublous days How strong henceforth are we! 6. So near art Thou, so strong are we, For now, if we are Thine, Our brother in humanity, Thou makest us divine! 7. We see with peace in times of fear Serene Thy human form Thy human voice with joy we hear, Sweet-toned above the storm. 8. So dread we not the deathly strife, Knowing that Thou hast died: It can but bear us into life, Since nearer to Thy side!

Thy Greatness, Lord

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach Lyrics: 1 Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach, What mortal tongue can tell? Thy throne is fixed, Thy power extends, O’er Heaven and earth and hell. 2 Who can evade or who resist, The vengeance of a God? Thy wrath vindictive, once provoked, Spreads terror all abroad. 3 The wide dominion and the power, The sovereignty is Thine; ‘Tis Thine the universe to rule, With majesty divine. 4 To Thee, by all the hosts of Heaven, By all the human race, Be everlasting honors given, And universal praise.
