The Savior, What A Noble Flame

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Savior, what a noble flame Was kindled in His breast: When hasting to Jerusalem He marched before the rest! 2 Good-will to men and zeal to God, His every thought engross; He longs to be baptized with blood, He pants to reach the cross. 3 With all His sufferings full in view, And woes, to us, unknown, Forth to the task His Spirit flew, ’Twas love that urged Him on. 4 Lord, we return Thee what we can! Our hearts shall sound abroad Salvation, to the dying Man, And to the rising God! 5 And while Thy bleeding glories here Engage our wondering eyes; We learn our lighter cross to bear, And hasten to the skies.

O Zion, When Thy Savior Came

Author: Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Zion, when thy Savior came In grace and love to thee, No beauty in thy royal Lord Thy faithless eye could see. 2. Yet, onward in His path of grace, The holy sufferer went, To feel, at last, that love on thee Had all in vain been spent. 3. Yet not in vain; o’er Israel’s land The glory yet will shine; And He, thy once rejected King, Messiah, shall be thine. 4. When thou, beneath the peaceful reign Of Jesus and His bride, Shalt sound His grace and glory forth To all the earth beside. 5. The nations to thy glorious light, O Zion! yet shall throng; And all the listening islands wait To catch the joyful song. 6. The name of Jesus yet shall ring Through earth and Heaven above, And all His ransomed people know The Sabbath of His love. Used With Tune: YORK
