Victim Divine, thy grace we claim

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Victim Divine, your grace we claim While thus thy precious death we show; Once offered up, a spotless Lamb, In thy great temple here below, Thou didst for all mankind atone, And standest now before the throne. 2 Thou standest in the holiest place, As now for guilty sinners slain; Thy Blood of sprinkling speaks and prays All-prevalent for helpless man; Thy Blood is still our ransom found, And spreads salvation all around. A-men. 3 We need not now go to heaven To bring the long-sought Saviour down; Thou art to all already given, Thou dost e'en now thy banquet crown: To every faithful soul appear, And show thy real presence here. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Used With Tune: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN

This Little Babe So Few Days Old

Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-95 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old Is come to rifle Satan's fold; All hell doth at his presence quake, Though he himself for cold do shake; For in this weak unarmed wise The gates of hell he will surprise. 2 With tears he fights and wins the field His naked breast stands for a shield; His battering shot are babish cries, His arrows looks of weeping eyes, His martial ensigns Cold and Need, And feeble Flesh his warrior's steed. 3 His camp is pitchèd in a stall, His bulwark but a broken wall; The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes; Of shepherds he his muster makes; And thus, as sure his foe to wound, The angels' trumps alarum sound. 4 My soul, with Christ join thou in fight; Stick to His tents that he hath pight.* Within his crib is surest ward; This little Babe will be thy Guard. If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy, Then flit not from this heavenly Boy. * pight=pitched, set up Topics: The Christian Year Christmastide Used With Tune: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN
