As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 641 hymnals Topics: Commitment Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Used With Tune: DIX

The Voice of God is Calling

Author: John Haynes Holmes Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Commitment Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling to women and to men; the voice once heard in Zion, resounds on earth again: whom shall I send to succor my people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed? 2 I hear my people crying in slum and mine and mill; no field or mart is silent, no city street is still. I see my people falling in darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear? 3 We heed, O God, your summons, and answer: Here are we! Send us upon your errand, let us your servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour, But you can use our weakness to magnify your power. 4 From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve; purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve; take us, and make us holy; teach us your will and way. Speak, and behold! we answer; command, and we obey! Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD
