My God, my Creator, the heavens did bow
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #41 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Lyrics: 1 My God, my Creator, the heavens did bow,
To ransom offenders, and stooped very low;
The body prepared by the Father assumes,
And on the kind errand most joyfully comes.
2 O wonder of wonders! astonished I gaze,
To see in the manger the Ancient of Days;
And angels proclaiming the stranger forlorn,
And telling the shepherds that Jesus is born.
3 For thousands of sinners the Lord bowed his head;
For thousands of sinners he groaned and he bled.
My spirit rejoices – the work it is done!
My soul is redeemed – salvation is won!
4 [Dear Jesus, my Saviour, thy truth I embrace –
Thy name and thy natures, thy Spirit and grace;
And trace the pure footsteps of Jesus, my Lord,
And glory in him whom proud sinners abhorred.]
5 My God is returned to glory on high;
When death makes a passage, then to him I’ll fly,
To join in the song of all praise through his blood,
To the Three who are One inconceivable God. Languages: English

Incarnation
Hymnal: Laudes Domini #313 (1884) Topics: Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of First Line: Before the heavens were spread abroad Lyrics: 1 Before the heavens were spread abroad,
From everlasting was the Word;
With God he was, the Word was God!
And must divinely be adored.
2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell,
He led the host of morning stars:
His generation who can tell,
Or count the number of his years?
3 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms:
The Word descends and dwells in clay,
That he may converse hold with worms,
Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.
4 Mortals with joy behold his face,
The eternal Father's only Son:
How full of truth, how full of grace,
When in his eyes the Godhead shone!
5 Archangels leave their high abode,
To learn new mysteries here, and tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel. Languages: English

The Morning Star
Hymnal: Laudes Domini #337 (1884) Topics: Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of; Christ Incarnation of First Line: How brightly shines the Morning Star! Lyrics: 1 How brightly shines the Morning Star!
What ray divine streams from afar!
God's glory there is shining.
Bright beam of God! which scatters night,
And guides the wandering soul aright,
Which after truth is pining:
Jesus! God's Word! truth revealing,
Sorrow healing, soothe our sighing,
Dry our tears, and end our dying.
2 My comfort here, my joy above,
Man's son, son of the Father's love,
Enthroned in highest heaven,
With my whole heart thy praise I sing;
To thee, our Prophet, Priest, and King,
Be endless honors given.
Saviour, to thee, trusting, clinging,
Come I bringing soul and spirit,
Thee, my portion, to inherit.
3 Aid me, my God, to sing thy praise,
Thine ageless love, thy matchless grace,
In Christ our Lord appearing.
When such a gift God gave for thee,
When such a brother true is he,
Why still, my soul, be fearing?
Choose him, know him, greatest, dearest,
Best, and nearest, to befriend thee
'Gainst all foes who may offend thee.
4 To him who conquered death and hell,
To him let joyous anthems swell
Throughout heaven's great for ever.
Praise to the Lamb that once was slain,
Glory to him who bore our pain,
Flow on, an endless river!
Earth and heaven--creatures lowly,
Angels holy--join your voices,
Till the world with praise rejoices.
5 Rejoice, ye heavens; thou, earth, reply:
With praise, ye sinners, fill the sky.
For this his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth thy power,
Ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
Till all know thy salvation.
Amen, amen: hallelujah!
Hallelujah! praise be given
Evermore by earth and heaven! Languages: English Tune Title: FRANKFORT
