Saw you never, in the twilight

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Carols Lyrics: Saw you never, in the twilight, When the sun had left the skies, Up in heaven the clear stars shining Through the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from far. Heard you never of the story How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain Till they found the holy Child? 515 How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering? Know ye not that lowly baby Was the bright and morning Star? He who came to light the Gentiles, And the darkened isles afar? And we, too, may seek his cradle; There our hearts' best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion For our Savior, God, and King. Used With Tune: THE WISE MEN

Dost thou in a manger lie

Author: Jean Mauburn; Elizabeth Charles Meter: Irregular Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics: Dost thou in a manger lie, Who hast all created, Stretching infant hands on high, Savior, long awaited? If a monarch, where thy state? Where thy court on thee to wait? Royal purple, where? Here no regal pomp we see; Naught but need and penury: Why thus cradled here? 512 Pitying love for fallen man Brought me down thus low; For a race deep lost in sin, Came I into woe. By this lowly birth of mine, Sinner, riches shall be thine, Matchless gifts and free; Willingly this yoke I take, And this sacrifice I make, Heaping joys for thee. Fervent praise would I to thee Evermore be raising; For thy wondrous love to me Thee be ever praising. Glory, glory be for ever Unto that most bounteous Giver, And that loving Lord! Better witness to thy worth, Purer praise than ours on earth, Angels' songs afford. Amen. Used With Tune: MAUBURN Text Sources: Latin
