As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 652 hymnals Topics: Epiphany of the Lord 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 your splendor see. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him, whom heav'n and earth adore; So may we with hurried pace Run to seek your throne of grace. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger crude and bare; So may we this holy day, Drawn to you without delay, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to you, our heav'nly King. 4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry 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 your glory hide. 5 In the heav'nly city bright None shall need created light; You, its light, its joy, its crown, You, its sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 854 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love. The United Methodist Hymnal
