From every stormy wind that blows

Author: Stowell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,283 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads-- A place than all beside more sweet: It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 5 There, there, on eagle's wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 6 Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget thy mercy-seat.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 408 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 For he is our childhood's pattern, day by day like us he grew, he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew: and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child, so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above, and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone.
