A great and mighty wonder

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #16 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas Festal brings: On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands, Rejoice, ye vales and mountains! Ye oceans, clap your hands! 5 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Saviour and the Lord! 6 And idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye.

A hymn of glory let us sing

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #99 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A HYMN of glory let us sing; New songs throughout the world shall ring: By a new way none ever trod, Christ mounteth to the throne of God. 2 May our affections thither tend, And thither constantly ascend, Where, seated on the Father's throne, Thee reigning in the heavens we own! 3 Be Thou our present Joy, O Lord, Who wilt be ever our Reward: And as the countless ages flee, May all our glory be in Thee!

A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #58 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 A LAMB goes uncomplaining forth, The guilt of all men bearing; 'Tis laden with the sin of earth; None else the burden sharing It goes its way, grows weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, Its spotless life to offer; Bears shame, and stripes, and wounds, and death, Anguish and mockery, and saith, "Willing all this I suffer." 2 This Lamb is Christ, the soul's great Friend And everlasting Saviour; Him, Him God chose, sin's reign to end And bring us to His favor "Go forth, my Son!" He said, "and bail The children, who are doomed to hell Without Thine intercession. The punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And save them from perdition." 3 "Yea, Father, yea, most willingly I'll bear what Thou commandest; My will conforms to Thy decree, I do what Thou demandest." O wondrous Love! what hast Thou done! The Father offers up His Son, The Son content descendeth! O Love! O Love! how strong art Thou! In shroud and grave Thou lay'st Him low Whose word the mountains rendeth! 4 Thou lay'st him, Love, upon the cross, With nails and spikes Him bruising; Thou slay'st Him as a lamb, His loss, From soul and body oozing; From body 'tis the crimson flood Of precious sacrificial blood, From soul, the strength of anguish: My gain it is; sweet Lamb to Thee What can I give, whose love to me For me doth make Thee languish? 5 Lord, all my life I'll cleave to Thee, Thy love fore'er beholding, Thee ever, as Thou ever me, With loving arms enfolding. Yea, Thou shalt be my Beacon-light, To guide me safe through death's dark night, And cheer my heart in sorrow; Henceforth myself and all that's mine to Thee, my Saviour, I consign, From whom all things I borrow. 6 By morn and eve my theme shall be Thy mercy's wondrous measure; To sacrifice myself to Thee, My foremost aim and pleasure. My stream of life shall flow for Thee, Its steadfast current ceaselessly In praise to Thee outpouring; And all that Thou hast done for me, I'll treasure in my memory, Thy gracious love adoring. 7 Dilate, shrine of my heart, and swell, To Thee shall now be given A treasure that doth far excel The worth of earth and heaven. Away with the Arabian gold, With treasures of an earthly mold! I found a better jewel. My priceless treasure, Lord my God, Is Thy most holy, precious blood, Which flowed from wounds so cruel. 8 This treasure ever I'll employ, This ever aid shall yield me; In sorrow it shall be my joy, In conflict it shall shield me; In joy, the music of my feast, And when all else has lost its zest, This manna still shall feed me; In thirst my drink; in want my food; My company in solitude, To comfort and to lead me. 9 Death's poison cannot harm me now, Thy blood new life bestoweth; My Shadow from the heat art Thou, When noonday's sunlight gloweth, When I'm by inward grief opprest, On Thee my weary soul shall rest, As sick man on his pillow. Thou art my Anchor, when be woe My bark is driven to fro On trouble's restless billow. 10 And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom's pleasure, Thy blood shall then my purple be, I'll clothe me in this treasure; It then shall be my glorious crown Thus I'll appear before the throne Of God, and need not hide me; And shall, by Him to Thee betrothed, By Thee in bridal garments clothed, Stand as a bride beside Thee.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #135 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil Foe Now means deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth in not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife: Let these all be gone, They yet have nothing won; The kingdom ours remaineth. Topics: Reformation Languages: English

Abide, O dearest Jesus

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #2 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Abide, O dearest Jesus, Among us with Thy grace, That Satan may not harm us, Nor we to sin give place. 2 Abide, O dear Redeemer, Among us with Thy Word, And thus now and hereafter True peace and joy afford. 3 Abide with heavenly brightness Among us, precious Light; Thy truth direct, and keep us From error's gloomy night. 4 Abide with richest blessings Among us, bounteous Lord; Let us in grace and wisdom Grow daily through Thy Word. 5 Abide with Thy protection Among us, Lord our Strength; Lest world and Satan fell us, And overcome at length. 6 Abide, O faithful Saviour, Among us with Thy love, Grant steadfastness, and help us To reach our home above.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #368 (1893) Lyrics: 1 ABIDE with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee. Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs cut life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples Lord: Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in every youth didst smile. And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Ah! God, my days are dark indeed

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #335 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 AH! GOD, my days are dark indeed, How oft this aching heart must bleed; The narrow way,--how filled with pain, That I must pass, ere heaven I gain! 2 How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal God! Ah! whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn. 3 In Thee have I, howe'er distressed, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest! I can not all forsaken be, While still my heart can trust in Thee. 4 Thine office and Thy person show That Thou great miracles canst do: Miraculous was, Lord, Thy birth When Thou wert born a child on earth; 5 And by Thy death Thou mak'st me free So strangely from all misery. Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! 6 No grief can ever be so sore, But Thy sweet name can cheer me more; So keen no sorrow's rankling dart, But Thy sweet name can heal my heart. 7 Although my flesh and heart may fail, I'll heed it not, I shall not quail; My Saviour, if I have but Thee, I shall be blest eternally. 8 With heart and soul I'm Thine fore'er; Sin, death, and health I need not fear. The world can show no truth like Thine, And therefore will I not repine. 9 I know Thou wilt forsake me not, Thy truth is fixed, though dark my lot, Thou art my Shepherd, and Thy sheep From harm forever Thou wilt keep. 10 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure naught can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy name. 11 They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love; How many a time I've sadly said, Far better were it I were dead; 12 Far better ne'er the light to see If I had not this joy in Thee; For he who hath not Thee in faith, His very life is merely death. 13 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile, the world may frown: In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold. 14 Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; Whene'er I hope in Thee, my Friend, Thy comfort and Thy peace descend. 15 Where'er in grief I pray and sing, I feel new courage in me spring; Thy Spirit witnesses that this Is fortaste of th'eternal bliss. 16 Therefore, while life remains in me, I'll bear Thy cross and follow Thee. Grant me a patient, willing mood; I know that it shall work my good. 17 Help me to do my task aright, That it may stand before Thy sight; Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul. 18 O keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death; Jesus, my Comfort, bend to me, Ah, would I were e'en now with Thee!

Ah! Lord our God, let them not be confounded

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #336 (1893) Meter: 11.5 Lyrics: 1 AH! LORD our God, let them not be confounded Who, though be want, and woe, and pain surrounded, Yet day and night still for Thy hope are sighing, To Thee are crying. 2 But put to shame Thy foes, who breathe defiance, And make their own vain might their sole reliance; O turn in mercy to Thy generation, Lord have compassion! 3 Against our foes some succor quickly send us; It Thou but speak the word, they shall not end us, But change to friends, lay down their arms forever, And rally never. 4 We stand bereft of help, and poor and lonely. 'Twere vain to trust in man;--with Thee, Lord, only We may defeat the enemies around us Who seek to wound us. 5 Thou art our Champion who canst overthrow them, And save the little flock now crushed below them, We trust in Thee; for Jesus' sake be near us! Help, Helper hear us! Topics: The Cross and Comfort Languages: English

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #59 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ALAS! and did my Saviour bleed And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes in tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.
