Father of Peace, and God of Consolation

Author: John Mason Neale; Cosmas, the Melodist Hymnal: Hymns of the Eastern Church (5th ed.) #139 (1866) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8 Lyrics: Father of Peace, and GOD of Consolation! The Angel of the Counsel dost Thou send To herald peace, to manifest Salvation, Thy Light to pour, Thy knowledge to extend; Whence, with the morning’s earliest rays, Lover of men! Thy Name we praise. ’Midst Caesar’s subjects Thou, at his decreeing, Obey’dst and was enrolled: our mortal race, To sin and Satan slave, from bondage freeing, Our poverty in all points didst embrace: And by that Union didst combine The earthly with the All-Divine. Incarnate Deity conceived and bore; Virgin in birth, and after birth, remaining And man to GOD is reconciled once more: Wherefore in faith her name we bless, And Mother of our GOD confess.
