O Son of man, our Hero strong and tender

Author: Frank Fletcher Hymnal: The Hymnal #177 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Christ Son of Man Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, our Hero strong and tender, Whose servants are the brave in all the earth, Our living sacrifice to Thee we render, Who sharest all our sorrows, all our mirth. 2 O feet so strong to climb the path of duty, O lips divine that taught the words of truth, Kind eyes that marked the lilies in their beauty, And heart that kindled at the zeal of youth; 3 Lover of children, boyhood's inspiration, Of all mankind the Servant and the King; O Lord of joy and hope and consolation, To Thee our fears and joys and hopes we bring. 4 Not in our failures only and our sadness We seek Thy presence, Comforter and Friend; O rich man's Guest, be with us in our gladness, O poor man's Mate, our lowliest tasks attend. Amen. Tune Title: CHARTERHOUSE

A child, a youth, a man

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #217 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Time, life, and man Lyrics: A child, a youth, a man, The whole of life below! Our time a breath, our course a span; Whence come we? whither go? Whence come we?--From the womb Of dark eternity; And thither go we, through the tomb,-- Behold a mystery! 217 For though with worms and dust His mortal relics lie, Death may not hold or harm the just; The spirit cannot die. On angels' wings afar, 'Tis, by a path unknown, Beyond the range of sun or star, Caught up before the throne:-- At rest in Paradise, With Him in bliss to live, Who bought it with so great a price, Heaven could no higher give:-- Till at the trumpet's sound, When soul and body meet, They twain are one again, and found In Christ, a saint complete. By His good Spirit taught, While train'd on earth, may we Be thus by grace to glory brought, And immortality. Languages: English

Pause. 6 Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount. 7 I could survey the ocean o'er, And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The numerous wonders of thy grace. 8 These on my heart are still imprest, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind.

But, O! what brighter glories wait To crown the Second Adam's state! What honors shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! See him below his angels made; See him in dust amongst the dead, To save a ruined world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. The world to come, redeemed from all The miseries that attend the fall, New made and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Savior's feet. Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9 Languages: English

Long hadst thou reigned ere time began, Or dust was fashioned to a man; And long thy kingdom shall endure When earth and time shall be no more. But man, weak man, is born to die, Made up of guilt and vanity; Thy dreadful sentence, Lord, was just, "Return, ye sinners, to your dust." [A thousand of our years amount Scarce to a day in thine account; Like yesterday's departed light, Or the last watch of ending night. Death, like an overflowing stream, Sweeps us away; our life's a dream, An empty tale, a morning flower, Cut down and withered in an hour.] [Our age to seventy years is set; How short the time! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan than live. But O how oft thy wrath appears, And cuts off our expected years! Thy wrath awakes our humble dread; We fear the power that strikes us dead.] Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, Till a wise care of piety Fit us to die, and dwell with thee.

Next to thine Angels is he plac'd, And lord of all below. 5 Thine Honours crown his Head, While Beasts, like Slaves, obey, And Birds that cut the Air with Wings, And Fish that cleave the sea. 6 How rich thy Bounties are! And wond'rous are thy Ways Of Dust and Worms thy Pow'r can frame A Monument of Praise. 7 [Out of the Mouths of Babes And Sucklings, thou canst draw Surprizing Honours to thy Name, And strike the World with Awe. 8 O Lord, our heav'nly King, Thy Name is all Divine; Thy Glories round the Earth are spread, And o'er the Heav'ns they shine.] Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English
