Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph S. Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger; there he lay, the undefiled, to the world a stranger: Such a Babe in such a place, can he be the Savior? Ask the saved of every race who have found his favor. 2 Angels sang about his birth; Wise Men sought and found him; heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around him: Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger: Son of God, of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise his name in all the earth, hail the King of glory!

Abraham, when severely tried

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:24 Lyrics: 1 Abraham, when severely tried, His faith by his obedience showed; He with the harsh command complies, And gave his Isaac back to God. 2 His son the father offered up-- Son of his age, his only son; Object of all his joy and hope. And less beloved than God alone. 3 Oh, for a faith like his, that we The bright example may pursue; May gladly give up all to thee, To whom our more than all is due. 4 Is there a thing than life more dear? A thing from which we cannot part? We can, we now rejoice to tear The idol from our bleeding heart. 5 Jesus, accept our sacrifice; All things for thee we count but loss: Lo! at thy word our idol dies-- Dies on the altar of thy cross. 6 For what to thee, O Lord, we give, A hundred-fold we here obtain; And soon with thee shall all receive, And loss shall be eternal gain.

Nourish us with sacred story till we claim it as our own; teach us through this holy banquet how to make Love’s victory known. 2 Turn our worship into witness in the sacrament of life; send us forth to love and serve you, bringing peace where there is strife. Give us, Christ, your great compassion to forgive as you forgave; may we still behold your image in the world you died to save. 3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon other guests to share that feast where triumphant Love will welcome those who had been last and least. There no more will envy blind us nor will pride our peace destroy, as we join with saints and angels to repeat the sounding joy.
