Sweet Flowerets of the Martyr Band
Author: Aurelius Prudentius; Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6413 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Sweet flowerets of the martyr band,
So early plucked by cruel hand;
Like rosebuds by a tempest torn,
As breaks the light of summer morn.
2. First victims offered for the Lord,
Ye little knew your high reward,
As, at the very altar, gay
With palms and crowns ye seemed to play.
3. Ah! what availed King Herod’s wrath?
He could not stay your Savior’s path;
The Child he sought alone went free;
That Child is King eternally.
4. O Lord, the virgin born, to Thee
Praise, honor, might and glory be,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES

Long Did Both Kings and Prophets Wait
Author: Paul B. Henkel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8336 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Long did both kings and prophets wait
To see the Lord of glory great
Appear, to answer that great end,
To prove the fallen sinner’s friend.
2 Of Him the prophets long foretold,
The fathers wished him to behold;
Him all the nations did desire
And angels wished Him to admire.
3 Their prophecies are now fulfilled;
The glorious mystery revealed:
The Child is born, the Son is giv’n,
The Prince of life is come from Heav’n.
4 His name is Jesus Christ the Lord,
The great and everlasting Word:
He came to execute the plan,
To save the fallen race of man.
5 He is the Lord from Heaven come,
Our human nature to assume,
Our sins to bear, His blood to shed,
And bruise and crush the serpent’s head.
6 He left His glorious throne above,
And comes with pity, grace, and love:
He comes to call the sons of men,
And turn them to their God again.
7 We praise Thee, O Thou King of peace!
Who art our life and righteousness;
Thou virgin’s Son, Thou David’s Star:
No creature can Thy love declare.
8 All such are truly dead in sin,
Who feel themselves not moved within,
To join with Christians here on earth,
To show and praise the Savior’s birth.
9 Let all who dwell with hosts on high!
Engage His praise to magnify;
With all the efforts they can raise,
Thus join to sing the Savior’s praise. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES

The Mighty Frame Of Glorious Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8701 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e’er the God of love designed,
Employs and fills my laboring mind.
2 Begin, my soul, the heav’nly song,
A burden for an angel’s tongue:
When Gabriel sounds these awful things,
He tunes and summons all his strings.
3 Proclaim inimitable love:
Jesus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay!
4 What black reproach defiled His name,
When with our sins He took our shame!
He whom adoring angels blessed
Is made the impious rebel’s jest.
5 He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans!
The Prince of Life resigns His breath,
The King of Glory bows to death!
6 But see the wonders of His power,
He triumphs in His dying hour;
And while by Satan’s rage He fell,
He dashed the rising hopes of hell.
7 Thus were the hosts of death subdued,
And sin was drowned in Jesus’ blood;
Thus He arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by His love.
8 Who shall fulfill this boundless song?
The theme surmounts an angel’s tongue:
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel’s nobler harp despairs! Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES
The Mighty Frame Of Glorious Grace
O Highest Love, In Lowliest Guise
Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11184 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O highest love, in lowliest guise,
To this our fallen world displayed,
May I discern with cleansèd eyes
The Godhead in our flesh arrayed!
2 O Love, the very Word of God,
Content an infant shape to wear,
And in a stable’s mean abode
To shield Thee from December’s air.
3 O Babe divine, before Thy face
Be mine to bow the thankful knee,
And by Thy soul converting grace
Become a child myself in Thee!
4 One only God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, we revere,
The everlasting Three in One,
Creator, Savior, Comforter. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES
O Highest Love, In Lowliest Guise
Hence From My Soul, My Sins, Depart
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12188 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Hence from my soul, my sins, depart,
Your fatal friendship now I see;
Long have you dwelt too near my heart:
Hence, to eternal distance flee.
2 Ye gave my dying Lord His wound,
Yet I caressed your viperous brood,
And in my heart-strings lapped you round,
You, the vile murderers of my God.
3 Black heavy thoughts, like mountains, roll
O’er my poor breast, with boding fears,
And crushing hard my tortured soul,
Wring thro’ my eyes the briny tears.
4 Forgive my treasons, Prince of Grace,
The bloody Jews were traitors too,
Yet Thou hast prayed for that cursed race,
"Father, they know not what they do."
5 Great Advocate, look down and see
A wretch, whose smarting sorrows bleed;
O plead the same excuse for me!
For, Lord, I knew not what I did.
6 Peace, my complaints; let every groan
Be still, and silence wait His love;
Compassions dwell amidst His throne,
And thro’ His inmost bowels move.
7 Lo, from the everlasting skies,
Gently, as morning dews distill,
The dove immortal downward flies,
With peaceful olive in his bill.
8 How sweet the voice of pardon sounds!
Sweet the relief to deep distress!
I feel the balm that heals my wounds,
And all my powers adore the grace. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVETE FLORES
