Praise to the heavenly Wisdom
Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Meter: 7.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise to the heavenly Wisdom
Who knows the hearts of all--
The saintly life's beginnings,
The traitor's secret fall;
Our own ascended Master,
Who heard His Church's cry,
Made known His guiding presence,
And ruled her from on high.
2 Elect in His foreknowledge,
To fill the lost one's place;
He formed His chosen vessel
By hidden gifts of grace;
Then, by the lot's disposing
He lifted up the poor,
And set him with the Princes
On high for evermore.
3 Still guide Thy Church, chief Shepherd,
Her losses still renew;
Be Thy dread keys entrusted
To faithful hands and true;
Apostles of Thy choosing
May all her rulers be,
That each with joy may render
His last account to Thee!
Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthias Used With Tune: LOCHBIE
Praise to the heavenly Wisdom
Come praise your Lord and Saviour
Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come praise your Lord and Saviour,
In strains of holy mirth:
Give thanks to Him, O children,
Who lived a Child on earth.
He loved the little children,
And called them to His side,
His loving Arms embraced them,
And for their sake He died.
2 O Jesus, we would praise Thee
With songs of holy joy,
For Thou on earth didst sojourn,
A pure and spotless Boy.
Make us like Thee, obedient,
Like Thee, from sin stains free,
Like Thee, in God's own temple,
In lowly home like Thee.
3 O Jesus, we too praise Thee,
The lowly Maiden's Son:
In Thee all gentlest graces
Are gathered into one.
Oh, give that best adornment,
That Christian maid can wear,
The meek and quiet spirit,
Which shone in Thee so fair.
4. O Lord, with voices blended
We sing our songs of praise:
Be Thou the Light and Pattern
Of all our childhood's days;
And lead us ever onward,
That, while we stay below,
We may, like Thee, O Jesus,
In grace and wisdom grow.
Amen. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: LOCHBIE
