The Race That Long in Darkness Pined

Author: John Morison Hymnal: HOoS1926 #41 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined Have seen a glorious Light; The people dwell in day who dwelt In death’s surrounding night. 2 To hail Thy rising, better Sun, The gath'ring nations come, Joyous as when the reapers bear The harvest treasures home. 3 For Thou our burden hast removed, And quelled the oppressor’s sway, Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell In Midian’s evil day. 4 To us a Child of Hope is born, To us a Son is given; Him shall the tribes of earth obey, Him all the hosts of heaven. 5 His Name shall be the Prince of Peace, For evermore adored; The Wonderful, the Counsellor, The great and mighty Lord. 6 His power increasing still shall spread, His reign no end shall know: Justice shall guard His throne above, And peace abound below. Amen.

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Hymnal: HOoS1926 #47 (1926) Meter: Irregular First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne 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. O 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 of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus" There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O 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 children free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens 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." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest to call for me. Amen.
