Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Christmastide Lyrics: 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. Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But in 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. The foxes found rest, and the birds had their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, In the desert of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus! There is room in my heart for thee. Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word, That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus! Thy cross is my only plea. When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, saving, "Yet there is room There is room at my side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Used With Tune: MARGARET

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 846 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in his train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in his train. The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on him to save. Like him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in his train? A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Used With Tune: CRUSADER

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 167 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Christmastide Lyrics: Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above!

Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave "Jesus shall his people save." Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child When the cup of human woe First he tasted here below. Jesus! only Name that's given, Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters and is saved. Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to thee. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. BEES

As with gladness men of old

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 647 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Epiphanytide Lyrics: As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee. As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed; There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ! to thee, our heavenly King. Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide. In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King. Amen. Used With Tune: DIX

Songs of thankfulness and praise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Epiphanytide Lyrics: Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David's stem In thy birth at Bethlehem; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding-guest, In thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devil's might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee, Christ will then like lightning shine, All will see his glorious sign: All will then the trumpet hear; All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in Man made manifest. Grant us grace to see thee, Lord, Mirrored in thy holy word; May we imitate thee now, And be pure, as pure art thou; That we like to thee may be At thy great Epiphany; And may praise thee, ever blest, God in Man made manifest. Amen. Used With Tune: SALZBURG

How bright appears the morning star

Thou Son of man and Son of God! We, too, will lift our voices: Jesus, Jesus! Holy, holy, yet most lowly, Draw thou near us; Great Emmanuel, come and hear us. Though circled by the hosts on high, He deigned to cast a pitying eye Upon his helpless creature; The whole creation's Head and Lord, By highest seraphim adored, Assumed our very nature; Jesus, grant us, Through thy merit, to inherit Thy salvation; Hear, O hear our supplication. 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. Amen.

Alleluia, song of gladness

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Epiphanytide Lyrics: Alleluia, song of gladness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluia is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high; In the house of God abiding Thus they sing eternally. Alleluia thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia, joyful mother, All thy children sing with thee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 98 Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for a while forego: For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. Therefore in our hymns we pray thee, Grant us, blessed Trinity, At the last to keep thine Easter In our home beyond the sky; There to thee for ever singing Alleluia joyfully. Amen.

Let sour drooping hearts be glad; March in heavenly armour clad; Fight, nor think the battle long, Soon shall victory tune your song. Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need. Onward then to battle move, More than conquerors ye shall prove; Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go. Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 207 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools Whitsunday Lyrics: Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by thee we covet most, Of thy gifts at Pentecost, Holy, heavenly love. Love is kind, and suffers long, Love is meek, and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore, give us love. Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay; Therefore, give us love. Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore, give us love. Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree, But the greatest of the three And the best, is love. From the overshadowing Of thy gold and silver wing, Shed on us, who to thee sing, Holy, heavenly love. Amen. Used With Tune: CHARITY
