Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown

Author: E. E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 419 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy thrown and Thy kingly crown When Thou camest to earth for me, But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest,aand the birds their nest, In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word, That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus! Thy cross is my only plea. 5 When heaven's shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee" And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Topics: General; Christmas Used With Tune: MARGARET

In mercy, not in wrath

Author: J. Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God; Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise, I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touched by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed, Oh, let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I forever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 Oh, come, ere life expire; Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave! 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Let Thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breast the flame Of never-dying love. 3 Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus' blood, And to our wondering view reveal The secret love of God. 5 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life on every part, And new-create the whole. 6 Dwell therefore in our hearts, Our minds from bondage free; Then we shall know, and praise, and love The Father, Son, and Thee.

Author: L. Laurenti; S. Findlater Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 335 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Until in songs of triumph Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesu, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee. Amen.
