I cannot tell

Author: William Young Fullerton, 1857-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10.11.12 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:3 First Line: I cannot tell how he whom angels worship Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell how he whom angels worship should stoop to love the peoples of the earth, or why as shepherd he should seek the wand'rer with his mysterious promise of new birth. But this I know, that he was born of Mary when Bethl'em's manger was his only home, and that he lived at Nazareth and laboured, and so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come. 2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered, as with his peace he graced this place of tears, or how his heart upon the cross was broken, the crown of pain to three and thirty years. But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted, and stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear, and lifts the burden from the heavy laden, for still the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here. 3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations, how he will claim his earthly heritage, how satisfy the needs and aspirations of east and west, of sinner and of sage. But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory, and he shall reap the harvest he has sown, and some glad day his sun will shine in splendour when he the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known. 4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship, when, at his bidding, ev'ry storm is stilled, or who can say how great the jubilation when ev'ry heart with perfect love is filled. But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture, and myriad, myriad human voices sing, and earth to heav'n and heav'n to earth, will answer: 'At last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!'

The Latter Day Glory

Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137:1 First Line: Lord of all worlds, incline thy bounteous ear Lyrics: 1 Lord of all worlds, incline thy bounteous ear, Thy children's voice, in tender mercy, hear; Bear thy blest promise, fixed as hills, in mind, And shed renewing grace on lost mankind! 2 Let Zion's walls before thee ceaseless stand, Dear as thine eye, and graven on thy hand; From earth's far regions Jacob's sons restore, Oppressed by man, and scourged by thee no more. 3 Then shall mankind no more in darkness mourn, Then happy nations in a day be born; From east to west thy glorious name be one, And one pure worship hail the eternal Son. 4 Then shall thy saints exult with joy divine; Their virtues quicken, and their lives refine; Heaven o'er the world unfold a brighter day, And Jesus spread his reign from sea to sea!

An Wasserflüssen Babylon

Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 An Wasserflüssen Babylon da saßen wir mit Schmerzen, als wir gedachten an Zion, da weinten sir von Herzen. Wir hingen auf mit schwerem Muth die harfen und die orgeln gut an ihre Bäum' der Weiden, die drinnen sind in ihrem Land, da mußten wir viel Schmach und Schand täglich von ihnen leiden. 2 Die uns gefangen hielten lang so hart an selben Orten, begehrten von uns ein Gesang, mit gar spöttlichen Worten, und suchten in der Traurigkeit ein fröhlich G'sang in unserm Leid: Ach! liber thut uns singen ein Lob-Gesang, ein Liedlein schön, vonden Gedichten aus Zin, das fröhlich thut erklingen. 3 Wie sollten wir in solchem Zwang und Elend, jetzt vorhanden, dem Herren singen ein'n Gesang, so gar in fremden Landen? Jerusalem! vergess' ich dein, so wolle Gott der Rechten mein vergess'n in meinem Leben, wenn ich nicht bleib dein eingedenk, mein Zung' sich oben angehenk und bleib' am Rachen kleben. 4 Ja, wenn ich nicht mit ganzem Fleiß, Jerusalem, dich ehre, im Anfang, meiner Freuden Preis von jetzt, und immermehre. Gedenk' der Kinder Edom sehr, am Tag' Jerusalem, o Herr! die in ihr'r Bosheit sprechen: "Rein ab! rein ab zu aller Stund, vertilg' sie gar bis auf den Grund, den Boden woll'n wir brechen." 5 Du schnöde Tochter Babylon, zerbrochen und zerstöret, wohl dem, der dir wird geb'n den Lohn und dir dann wiederkehret, dein'n Uebermuth und Schalkheit groß, und mißt dir auch mit solchem Maaß, wie du uns hast gemessen. Wohl dem der deine Kinder klein erfaßt, und schlägt sie an ein'n Stein, damit dein werd' vergessen. 6 Ehr' sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und auch dem heil'gen Geiste; als es im Anfang war und nun, der uns sein Gnade leiste, daß wir auf diesem Jammerthal von Herzen scheuen überall der Welt gottloses Wesen und streben nach der neuen Art, dazu der Mensch gebildet ward, wer das begehrt, sprech' Amen.

Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart

Author: M. M. Schaling, 1532-1608; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8.8.4.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 137 Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thee I love with all my heart; I pray Thee, ne'er from me depart; With tender mercy cheer me. Earth has no pleasure I would share, Yea, heav'n itself were void and bare If Thou, Lord, were not near me. And should my heart for sorrow break, My trust in Thee no one could shake. Thou art the Portion I have sought; Thy precious blood my soul has bought. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, Forsake me not! I trust Thy Word. 2 Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy rich bounty gave My body, soul, and all I have In this poor life of labor. Lord, grant that I in ev'ry place May glorify Thy lavish grace And serve and help my neighbor. Let no false doctrine me beguile; And Satan not my soul defile. Give strength and patience unto me To bear my cross and follow Thee. Lord Jesus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, In death Thy comfort still afford. 3 Lord, let at last Thine angels come, To Abram's bosom bear me home, That I may die unfearing; And in its narrow chamber keep My body safe in peaceful sleep Until Thy reappearing. And then from death awaken me That these mine eyes with joy may see, O Son of God, Thy glorious face, My Savior and my Fount of grace, Lord Jesus Christ, My prayer attend, my prayer attend, And I will praise Thee without end.
