Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Appears in 830 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Death Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the Cross I spend, Life, and health, and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Here I'll rest forever viewing Mercy poured in streams of blood: Precious drops, my soul bedewing, Plead, and claim my peace with God. 3 Truly blessed is the station, Low before His Cross to lie; Whilst I see divine compassion Beaming in His languid eye. 4 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation Fix my thankful heart on Thee, Till I taste Thy full salvation, And Thine unveil'd glory see. Amen. Used With Tune: BATTY

Bethlehem! of noblest cities

Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles Lyrics: 1 Bethlehem! of noblest cities, None can once with thee compare; Thou alone the LORD from Heaven Didst for us Incarnate bear. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning; Was the star that told His birth; To the lands their God announcing, Hid beneath a form of earth. 3 By its radiant beauty guided, See, the Eastern kings appear! See them bend, their gifts to offer. Gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh. 4 Offerings of mystic meaning! Incense doth the God disclose; Gold a Royal Child proclaimeth, Myrrh the future tomb foreshows. 5 Holy Jesus! in Thy brightness To the Gentile world displayed, With the Father and the Spirit, Endless praise to Thee be paid. Amen. Used With Tune: S. OSWALD

"The heavenly Babe you there shall find, To human view display'd, All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph: and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Address'd their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease." Amen. Used With Tune: GABRIEL

Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Appears in 445 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee, Low we bow th' adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our streaming eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe, Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness, By Thy victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thy conflict with despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds, Thy crown of thorn, By Thy cross, Thy pangs, and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the seal'd sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, By Thy power from death to save; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored, Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany. Amen. Used With Tune: SPANISH CHANT

The King of love my Shepherd is

Appears in 685 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Easter Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His, And He is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My ransom'd soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish, oft I stray'd, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy Cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight, Thy unction grace bestoweth, And O the transport of delight With which my cup o'erfloweth. 6 And so, through all the length of days, Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever! Amen. Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT ME

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,042 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Death Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the Cross of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to Thy Blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose a Saviour's crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Death Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear, But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His work to do. Amen. Used With Tune: HORSLEY
