OPTATUS VOTIS OMNIUM
Within the Father's House
Author: James R. Woodford, 1820-1885 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house
The Son has found his home,
And to his temple suddenly
The Lord of life has come.
2 The doctors of the Law
Gaze on the wondrous child
And marvel at his gracious words
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is giv'n
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the earthly veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye,
And faithful, pond'ring hearts await
The full epiphany.
5 Lord, enter now our souls
And teach us by your grace
Each dim revealing of yourself
With loving awe to trace,
6 Till we behold your face
And know, as we are known,
You, Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
Co-equal Three in One. Topics: Holy Family; Holy Family C Used With Tune: OPTATUS VOTIS OMNIUM

The Coming of Our God
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: Credo Hymnal #85 (2014) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The coming of our God
Our thoughts must now employ;
Then let us meet Him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
2 The coeternal Son,
A maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ putteth on,
To set His people free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To greet thine infant King;
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon He doth bring.
4 In glory from His throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all that are His own
To joys that never end.
5 Let deeds of darkness fly
Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die,
And serve the Virgin born.
6 Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, that set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee.

Anonymous
Composer of "OPTATUS VOTIS OMNIUM" in Worship (4th ed.) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Charles Coffin
1676 - 1749 Person Name: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Author of "The Coming of Our God" in Credo Hymnal Coffin, Charles, born at Buzaney (Ardennes) in 1676, died 1749, was principal of the college at Beauvais, 1712 (succeeding the historian Rollin), and rector of the University of Paris, 1718. He published in 1727 some, of his Latin poems, for which he was already noted, and in 1736 the bulk of his hymns appeared in the Paris Breviary of that year. In the same year he published them as Hymni Sacri Auctore Carolo Coffin, and in 1755 a complete ed. of his Works was issued in 2 vols. To his Hymni Sacri is prefixed an interesting preface. The whole plan of his hymns, and of the Paris Breviary which he so largely influenced, comes out in his words.
"In his porro scribendis Hymnis non tam poetico indulgendunv spiritui, quam nitoro et pietate consulendum esse existimavi. Pleraque igitur, argumentis convenientia e purissiinis Scripturae Sacrae fontibus deprompsi quac idoneis Ecclesiae cantui numeris alligarem."
His hymns are described by a French critic as having less brilliancy than those of Santüil (q.v.), but more simplicity and unction. They number 100 in the edition of 1736. Translated into English by J. Chandler, I. Williams and others, are noted under their respective Latin first lines. [William T. Brooke]
