When to our world the Saviour came

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #349 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When to our world the Saviour came the sick and helpless heard his name, and in their weakness longed to see the healing Christ of Galilee. 2 That good physician! Night and day the people thronged about his way; and wonder ran from soul to soul, 'The touch of Christ has made us whole!' 3 His praises then were heard and sung by opened ears and loosened tongue, while lightened eyes could see and know the healing Christ of long ago. 4 Of long ago: yet living still, who died for us on Calvary's hill; who triumphed over cross and grave, his healing hands stretched forth to save. 5 His sovereign purpose still remains who rose in power, and lives and reigns; till every tongue confess his praise, the healing Christ of all our days.

Now the gates of pearl receive us, thy presence never more shall leave us, we stand with angels round thy throne. Earth cannot give below the bliss thou dost bestow. Alleluia! Grant us to raise, to length of days, the triumph-chorus of thy praise.

When God of old came down from heaven

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #199 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When God of old came down from heaven, in power and wrath he came; before his feet the clouds were riven, half darkness and half flame. *2 But when he came the second time, he came in power and love; softer than gale at morning prime hovered his holy Dove. *3 The fires, that rushed on Sinai down in sudden torrents dread, now gently light, a glorious crown, on every sainted head. *4 And as on Israel’s awestruck ear the voice exceeding loud, the trump that angels quake to hear, thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; 5 So, when the Spirit of our God came down his flock to find, a voice from heaven was heard abroad, a rushing, mighty wind. 6 It fills the Church of God; it fills the sinful world around: only in stubborn hearts and wills no place for it is found. 7 Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love, and Power, open our ears to hear; let us not miss the accepted hour: save, Lord, by love or fear.
