Fly Abroad, And Tell The Story

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Fly abroad, and tell the story, Of the mighty Savior’s birth; Say ye, that the Lord of glory Leaves His throne and comes to earth. He, before whom angels bow, Takes the form of man below. 2 Hither come, and view the Stranger, View the Infant lately born; See, He lives in yonder manger, By the world cast out in scorn. Mark Him well, for this is He, Born to set His people free. 3 Wonder not that thus ye see Him, Lying in this humble place: Nor indulge a wish to to free Him, From a state so low and base. Worldly pomp the Savior scorns: Him no outward state adorns. 4 Sing, ye saints, the Savior’s praises: ’Twas for you He suffered shame; Yes, He stooped that He might raise us To the place from whence He came. Though He now appears so low, Crowns shall soon adorn His brow. 5 Learn from His obscure condition How to think of all below; Scorn He meets, and opposition: Jesus finds in man His foe. Such our master was, and we Must expect like Him to be. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS OLD Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

Lo, He Comes! Let All Adore Him

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes! Let all adore Him, Tis the God of grace and truth. Go prepare the way before Him, Make the rugged places smooth; Lo! He cones, the mighty Lord, Great His work, and His reward. 2 Let the valleys all be raisèd, Go, and make the crooked straight; Let the mountains be abasèd, Let all nature change its state. Through the desert mark a road, Make a highway for our God. 3 Through the desert God is going, Through the desert waste and wild; Where no goodly plant is growing, Where no verdure ever smiled; But the desert shall be glad, And with verdure soon be clad. 4 Where the thorn and brier flourished, Trees shall there be seen to grow; Planted by the Lord, and nourished, Stately, fair, and fruitful, too; They shall rise on every side, They shall spread their branches wide. 5 From the hills, and lofty mountains, Rivers shall be seen to flow; There the Lord will open fountains, Thence supply the plains below; As He passes, every land Shall confess His powerful hand.

Author: Alan Gaunt; Johann Scheffler Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Love, who made me in your likeness, to your image forming me; Love, who showed such gentle kindness when I fell, restoring me: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 2 Love, to whom my life was precious, long before I came to birth; Love, for ever human with us, born to share our life on earth: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 3 Love, for me, you came to suffer and, at last, were crucified; Love, with you, I live for ever, joy is endless at your side: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 4 Love, my Life, my Truth, my Splendour, living Spirit, Mighty Word; Love, by whose full self-surrender my heart's wholeness is restored: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 5 Love, whose yoke is laid upon me, liberating life and mind; Love, whose grace has overcome me, here is freedom, unconfined: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 6 Love, your love's immense compassion pleads my cause at God's right hand; Love, redeemed from condemnation, in your strength, though weak, I stand: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally. 7 Love, you are my Resurrection, come to call me from the dead; Love, I share, in your perfection, glory that can never fade: Love, I give myself to be one with you, eternally.

Nothing Know We of the Season

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Nothing know we of the season When the world shall pass away; But we know, the saints have reason To expect a glorious day; When the Savior shall return, And His people cease to mourn. 2. While a careless world is sleeping, Then it is the day will come; Mirth will then be turned to weeping, Sinners then must meet their doom; But the people of the Lord Shall obtain their bright reward. 3. O what sacred joys await them! They shall see the Savior then; Those who now oppose and hate them Never can oppose again; Brethren, let us think of this: All is ours, if we are His. 4. Waiting for the Lord’s returning, Be it ours His word to keep; Let our lamps be always burning; Let us watch while others sleep; We’re no longer of the night; We are children of the light. 5. Being of the favored number Whom the Savior calls His own, ’Tis not meet that we should slumber, Nothing should be left undone: This should be His people’s aim, Still to glorify His name!
