Incarnate God! What Tongue Can Tell?

Author: George H. Smyttan Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Incarnate God! what tongue can tell Lyrics: 1 Incarnate God! what tongue can tell The mystery of Emmanuel? What human lyre, what angel choir, Can sing that marvel passing ken, The Word made flesh for sinful men? 2 Thine advent, Lord, was pain and shame, Our world from Satan to reclaim; Oh, grace unknown, that from Thy throne Thou cam’st to be despised of those Thy love would rescue from their woes. 3 A man of sorrows, man of grief— As if Thou wert the very chief Of sinners lost, Thou cam’st the Host O spotless Lamb of God, to be For man, his soul from death to free. 4 Yes, Thou was wounded, bruised, and torn, That we might healèd be, and born To life again, and saved from pain; And yet from Thee we hid our face, Who came from guilt to cleanse our race. 5 When, Jesu, Thou shalt come once more, Not poor and lowly as of yore, But clothed in light, and full of might, More glorious than ten thousand days, With angels pealing forth Thy praise. 6 The clouds of Heaven Thy chariot-throne, And crowned with majesty Thine own, Grant I may stand on Thy right hand, A sinner, yet absolved by Thee, And worthy made Thy face to see. 7 With eager eyes and longing heart Thy Church would see Thee as Thou art; Oh, hear her cry, her lone-lorn sigh, And hasten, Lord, the promised hour, When she will reach her bridal bower.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Bow down Thy ear, O Lord, and hear Lyrics: 1 Bow down Thy ear, O Lord, and hear, For I am poor and great my need; Preserve my soul, for Thee I fear; O God, Thy trusting servant heed, O God, Thy trusting servant heed. 2 O Lord, be merciful to me, For all the day to Thee I cry; Rejoice Thy servant, for to Thee I lift my soul, O Lord Most High, I lift my soul, O Lord Most High. 3 For Thou, O Lord, art good and kind, And ready to forgive Thou art; Abundant mercy they shall find Who call on Thee with all their heart, Who call on Thee with all their heart. 4 O Lord, incline Thy ear to me, My voice of supplication heed; In trouble I will cry to Thee, For Thou wilt answer when I plead, For Thou wilt answer when I plead. 5 There is no God but Thee alone, Nor works like Thine, O Lord Most High; All nations shall surround Thy throne And their Creator glorify, And their Creator glorify. 6 In all Thy deeds how great Thou art! Thou one true God, thy way make clear; Teach me with undivided heart To trust Thy truth, Thy Name to fear, To trust Thy truth, Thy Name to fear.
