Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Matching Instances: 29 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; There He lay, the undefiled, To the world a stranger. Such a Babe in such a place, Can He be the Savior? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found His favor. 2 Angels sang about His birth; Wise men sought and found Him; Heaven’s star shone brightly forth, Glory all around Him. Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, Heard the angels singing; All the plains were lit that night, All the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; He is still the undefiled, But no more a stranger. Son of God, of humble birth, Beautiful the story; Praise His Name in all the earth, Hail the King of glory! Scripture: Matthew 2:8-12 Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

Good King Wenceslas

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 35 hymnals Matching Instances: 22 First Line: Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen Lyrics: 1 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel. 2 “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’ fountain.” 3 “Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither, You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.” Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together, Through the cold wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather. 4 “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger, Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly, You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.” 5 In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, while God’s gifts possessing, You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing, splendor shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing; earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated, this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration, rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning; valleys, this is your new birth, mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees, fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these seeks and saves the fearful; deaf ears, hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes, see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness; God hath brought his Israel into joy from sadness; loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls today; Christ hath burst his prison, and from three days' sleep in death as a sun hath risen; all the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold thee as a mortal: but today amidst thine own thou didst stand, bestowing thine own peace, which evermore passeth human knowing.
