He who left His ancient glory, That we might be born again: Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hail the newborn Son of Man. 5 We will worship and adore Him, He who put our nature on: Jesus shall have all the glory, From the church of God’s firstborn: Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hail the newborn Son of Man.

The Householder Sending Forth His Son

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Night was resting on the people Lyrics: Part 1: 1 Night was resting on the people, Sin was out upon the world, Darkness, ere the prince of darkness, From his citadel was hurled, Ere the Prince of Peace, His standard O’er the realms of strife unfurled. 2 Heathen madly raged with heathen, Each with vain imagining; Brother hated, slew his brother, King went out to war with king, Till at length all ill abounded, And the dove of peace took wing. 3 All the nations sat in darkness, Loving best the veil of night; God they would not own as ruler, So they put Him out of sight; Then the flames of Hell they quickened, Trampled on the true and right. 4 Thus the vineyard God had planted Very good from east to west, Wicked husbandmen had ruined, Eating, drinking, taking rest, Cursing with their lusts and passions What the Householder had blest. 5 He had hedged about the vineyard, Dug the wine press, built the tower, Let it out and given orders, "Thou must serve and Thou have power," So that He of fruit might gather Treasure in the vintage hour. 6 One by one He sent His servants Till that hour should fully come; Some they beat, and some they stoned, Shamefully entreated some, They whose hearts were set on idols, Gods they fashioned, senseless, dumb. 7 Last of all, the vineyard’s Ruler, When the numbered days were run, Thought upon His loving-kindness, Sent the Sole-Begotten One, Sent His best Beloved, saying, "They will reverence My Son." 8 Thus the Father in His pity, Healed the world by guilt oppressed, Gave commandment to the Lowly, Bade her tabernacle rest, He Who made her, Israel’s Lily, Slumbered on her spotless breast. 9 O, the mystery of mercy! To the vineyard comes the Heir, Leaves the Father’s many mansions, Faithless husbandmen to spare, Clothes Himself with human nature, Deigns our very flesh to wear. 10 Heir of all things, we adore Him, Whom the wicked madly slew; "This the heir, come let us kill him.: Thus of old that godless crew Cast Him out the Father sent them, Thus they paid their Lord His due. Part 2: 11 Fair the vineyard which the Ageless Purchased with His own Right Hand. Where the husbandmen of Jesus In the place appointed stand, Some to sow, and some to gather, Some to break the fallow land. 12 Hedged about by Law and Prophets, This Inheritance Divine; Deep therein is dug the wine press, Whence flows Precious Blood for wine; There the Tower of Ivory glitters, Of Incarnate Grace the shrine. 13 There the four-fold river waters With its crystal stream the ground; Purest gold and precious onyx In its hidden depths abound; There, or good for food or pleasant, Every herb and tree are found. 14 Thus the Lord our God hath planted Eastward in the realm He made Garden, unto which He sendeth, Born today of spotless Maid, Him whose light the ancients longed for, Him for whom the prophets prayed. 15 Where are springing thorns and briers, He will make the curse to cease; Are there captives fast in fetters? He will give the bound release, Unto men of good-will, saying, "On the earth be good-will, peace!" 16 Surely now the world will greet Him, Heir of all the worlds sublime; Times, they say, are bad, disjointed; He is come, the Lord of Time; Men, they say, have grown more evil; He can stay the march of crime. 17 Do the hours of toil wax longer? He will share our weariness; Are there hands uplift to curse us? His are lifted up to bless; Are there words of hate about us? His are words of peacefulness. 18 O how happy the hereafter, When the better Eden gained, We look back upon the vineyard Where the labor was sustained, One hand working, one hand grasping Weapon while a foe remained! 19 Peace! the will of God the Father, As in Heav’n, in earth is done; Peace! the dreary years are ended; Peace! the days of strife are run; One the song of men and angels, "We will reverence the Son." 20 Hid beneath His fleshly garment, Many a crown and diadem Brings the Heir this blessèd morning, Journeying from Bethlehem; If He own us, if He bless us, Who is he that dares condemn?

Through The Night Of Doubt And Sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann Appears in 319 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light, Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Jesus, Blessèd Lord and Savior

Author: G. de Mattos Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, blessèd Lord and Savior, Bowed in death on Calv’ry’s tree, Darkest hour of bitter judgment, Borne to set Thy people free; Sweet our portion, sweet our portion, As we thus remember Thee. 2. From the highest heights of glory, To the cross of deepest shame, Thus accomplishing redemption, Jesus in His pity came; Precious Savior, precious Savior, We adore Thy matchless name. 3. From the darkness and the distance, From the crushing load of sin, Blessèd Savior, Thou hast freed us, By Thy blood hast made us clean; In Thy beauty, in Thy beauty, Now Thy ransomed ones are seen. 4. Thus assured of Thine acceptance We to God may now draw near; In the holiest may worship; Perfect love hath cast out fear; To the Father, to the Father, We in Christ are near and dear.

All the Sacrifice is Ended

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. All the sacrifice is ended, Breathed His body’s latest breath, And His human Soul hath wended Where the weary rest beneath; Christ as Man hath comprehended All the human law of death! 2. Yet not there His Soul remaineth Nor His body in the tomb: Lo! what sudden glory gaineth Quick dominion o’er the gloom! Yea, o’er death and hell He reigneth Bursting back the gates of doom! 3. Manifold the attestation Brethren tell the marvel o’er, And the soldiers from their station, And the angels at the door, And His own Word’s revelation, Lo! I live for evermore. 4. Hail, thou morn of resurrection, Primal holy Easter Day! Now the hours of deep dejection ’Neath the night-clouds’ dark array, Foes’ reviling, friends’ defection, In thy glory pass away! 5. Now He lives and reigns for ever! That we too may enter in Where eternal life shall never Taste of sorrow or of sin, Where from Him no death shall sever Those He vanquished death to win. 6. Savior! in our night of weeping Tell us of the joyful morn, Guard our souls, their vigil keeping In the hours of hate and scorn Raise us falling, wake us sleeping, Till our Easter Day be born.
