O Son of Man, Thyself once crossed

Author: J. F. Thrupp Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thyself once crossed By ev'ry suffering here below, Who taught'st Thy noble martyr-host To follow in Thy path of woe: 2 O Son of God, Whose glory cast Its light upon Thy champion's face, Revealing to his eye at last The marvels of the holiest place; 3 Be ours the faith that sees Thee stand Beside the throne of God on high, To succor with Thy strong right hand Thy soldiers when to Thee they cry. 4 Be ours the hope, resigned and meek, That trusts the spirit to Thy care, That longs Thy face in heaven to seek, And dwell with Thee in glory there. 5 Be ours the love, divine and free, Which asks forgiveness for our foes; Which draws, in life, its life from Thee, And, dying, finds in Thee repose. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Stephen; Trust Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

To faithful eyes made known, That lowly babe--the mighty God, The Prince of Peace, they own. 3 And now His temple shines With glory far more bright Than ere the former temple saw, E'en at its greatest height. 4 The cloud indeed was there, The symbol of the Lord; But here the Lord Himself appears, The true, incarnate Word. 5 Blest Saviour, come once more With power and grace divine; Our hearts Thy living temples make, Wholly and ever Thine.

Author: M. A. Thomson Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O King of saints, we give Thee praise and glory For the bright cloud of witnesses unseen, Whose names shine forth like stars, in sacred story, Guiding our steps to realms of light serene; 2 And for Thy hidden saints, our praise adoring, Fount of all sanctity, to Thee we yield, Who in Thy treasure-house on high, art storing Jewels who lustre was, on earth, concealed. 3 Thine arm sustained them all in conflict mortal With sin, the world, and all the powers of hell; Thy hand hath oped for all, the shining portal To realms where peace and joy forever dwell. 4 There they are throned and white-robed elders, casting Before the King of kings their crowns of gold; And there are crowns and mansions everlasting, And palms and harps for multitudes untold. 5 Though, in Thy service, we too oft have slumbered, Like the ten virgins, foolish ones and wise; Yet with Thy saints, may we at last be numbered, And at Thy call with burning lamps arise. Amen. Topics: All Saints; Other Feasts and Fasts; Processionals Saints' Days Used With Tune: STRENGTH AND STAY

Doane Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more, O Lord, Thy sign shall be Upon the heavens displayed, And earth and its inhabitants Be terribly afraid: For, not in weakness clad, Thou com'st, Our woes, our sins to bear, But girt with all Thy Father's might, His judgment to declare. 2 The terrors of that awful day Oh, who can understand? Or who abide, when Thou in wrath Shall lift Thy holy hand? The earth shall quake, the sea shall roar, The sun in heaven grow pale; But Thou hast sworn, and wilt not change, Thy faithful shall not fail. 3 Then grant us, Saviour, so to pass Our time in trembling here, That when upon the clouds of heaven Thy glory shall appear, Uplifting high our joyful heads, In triumph we may rise, And enter, with Thine angel train, Thy palace in the skies.
