Afar in Old Judea

Author: Roy A. Cheville, 1897-1986 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Afar in old Judea, above the Jordan stream, a heav'nly light descended on a baptismal scene. Then came the confirmation of Jesus, from above, the sacramental signet; the Spirit as a dove. 2 In ancient Zarahemla, above the temple towers, appeared the Christ of Judah to crown the watchful hours. A voice, serene yet piercing beyond our words to tell, proclaimed him as the Savior whom prophets did foretell. 3 Then in a time of searching, a youth who sought God's way saw in Palmyra's woodland a light beyond his day, and when the vision opened to him whose sight was dim, he heard the Father saying, "This is my Son, hear him!" 4 Today the heav'ns are open to souls prepared to hear the wondrous revelation of Christ, who's ever near. The Savior of the ages still lives with us today; he seeks to help us know him and leads us in his way.

Immanuel, God with us!

Author: Anna H. Mercur Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immanuel, God with us! Bow down, ye heavens, today! Behold a wondrous glory, The star of Bethlehem’s ray! For angels have descended With message from on high; Let all the earth keep silence, Redemption draweth nigh! 2 Strange sight for men and angels! Lo! the effulgent light Which led the holy magi Rests on Judean height! Stopped in its course celestial, O’er lowly cattle shed, Its heavenly beams illumine An infant’s manger bed. 3 O earth, with all thy kingdoms, Was there no other place Wherein to welcome Jesus, The Lord of life and grace? No room in royal palace? No spot within the inn To shield the Word made human— The God-man without sin? 4 To make men priests and monarchs, Joint heirs with Him on high, The Logos consubstantial Descendeth from the sky. Leaving the Father’s brightness, Leaving His throne of flame, He comes a helpless infant, To suffer grief and shame. 5 Depth of humiliation! Love passing all degree! Thus to restore to mortals Their immortality! Henceforth the race shall triumph, And foil the serpent’s art: The laws of stone on Sinai Be written on the heart! 6 All hail! angelic heralds Proclaiming peace on earth! Hail! gracious star of promise, Sign of a Savior’s birth! Lift up thy gates, O Zion! Sing, everlasting hills! Joy for the God incarnate The whole creation fills!

Author: Pedro Castro Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 ¡Oh, quién en ti morara, Esplendorosa Sion, Del redimido patria Y alcázar de mi Dios! Allí sin inquietudes Sería mi canción Un aleluya eterno Al rey, mi Salvador. 2 ¡Oh, quién allá morara! Tu pronta aparición, Estrella matutina, Espero con ardor; Me trae alegres nuevas Del día aquel que en Sion Veré en su plena gloria Al rey, mi Salvador. 3 ¡Oh, quién allá morara! Mi agradecida voz Alegre cataría Los himnos de mi Dios; Y allá do resplandece En día eterno el sol, Vería en su hermosura Al rey, mi Salvador. 4 ¡Oh, quién allá morara! Si yo en su derredor Tuviera ya tendido Mi blanco pabellón, A su agradable sombra Disfrutaría yo La gloria de la gracia Del rey, mi Salvador.
