O LORD, You Are My Light

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light and my salvation near; then who will cause me fright or fill my heart with fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, secure from fear my soul remains. 2 My one request has been and still this prayer I raise: that I may live within God's house for all my days, God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire. 3 When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of his tent he hides me till the storm is spent. 4 Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Behold a Little Child

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Behold a little child, laid in a manger bed; The wintry blasts blow wild around His infant head; But who is this so lowly laid? ’Tis He by whom the worlds were made. 2. Alas! in what poor state the Son of God is seen; Why did the Lord so great choose out a home so mean? That we may learn from pride to flee, And to follow His humility. 3. Where Joseph plies his trade, lo, Jesus labors, too; The hands that all things made an earthly craft pursue, That weary men in Him may rest, And faithful toil through Him be blessed. 4. Among the doctors see the Boy so full of grace; Say, wherefore taketh He the scholar’s lowly place? That children all, with reverence meet, May sit and learn at Jesus’ feet. 5. Christ, once Thyself a boy, our childhood guard and guide; Be Thou its light and joy, and still with us abide, That Thy dear love, so great and free, May draw us evermore to Thee.

Ye that have here received The unction from above, And in His Spirit lived, Obedient to His love, Jesus shall claim you for His bride: Rejoice with all the sanctified! 5. The everlasting doors Shall soon the saints receive, Above yon angel powers In glorious joy to live; Far from a world of grief and sin, With God eternally shut in. 6.
