Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-95 Hymnal: SNHL1986 #702 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-95 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed; Mary was that mother mild,-- Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly Lived our earth our Savior holy. 3 But our eyes in truth should see him Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above, As he leads his children on-- To the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable With the oxen standing by Shall we see him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high. Then like stars his children crowned, All in white, his praise will sound! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: SNHL1986 #712 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Person Name: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all my weariness upon you lean. 2 This is the hour of banquet and of song; Here is the heav'nly table spread anew; Here let me feast and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with you. 3 I have no help but yours; nor do I need Another arm but yours to lean upon; It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in your might, your might alone. 4 Mine is the sin but yours the righteousness; Mine is the guilt but yours the cleansing blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; Your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God. 5 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear; The feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and wine remove, but you are here, Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 6 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb's great marriage feast of bliss and love.

Now above the cross, the trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay; Tell how Christ, the world's redeemer, As a victim won the day. 2 Tell how, when at length the fullness Of the appointed time was come, He, the Word, was born of woman, Left for us his Father's home, Blazed the path of true obedience, Shone as light amidst the gloom. 3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished, He went forth from Nazareth, Destined, dedicated, willing, Did his work, and met his death; Like a lamb he humbly yielded On the cross his dying breath. 4 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph, Be for all the noblest tree; None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit your equal be; Symbol of the world's redemption, For your burden makes us free. 5 Unto God be praise and glory; To the Father and the Son, To the eternal Spirit honor Now and evermore be done; Praise and glory in the highest While the timeless ages run.
