Christ is God

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:29 First Line: Mighty God! while angels bless thee Lyrics: 1 Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation-- Be thy just and awful praise. 2 For the grandeur of thy nature,-- Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow;-- Blessed be thy gentle reign. 3 For thy rich, thy free redemption, Bright, though vailed in darkness long, Thought is poor, and poor expression; Who can sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father's glory! Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue! such guilty silence, Sing the Lord who came to die:-- 4 From the highest throne of glory, To the cross of deepest woe, Came to ransom guilty captives!-- Flow, my praise! for ever flow: Re-ascend, immortal Saviour! Leave thy footstool, take thy throne; Thence return and reign for ever;-- Be the kingdom all thine own!

Berg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:30 First Line: Children of the heav'nly Father Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav'nly Father Safely in His bosom gather; Nestling bird nor star in heaven Such a refuge e'er was given. 2 God His own doth tend and nourish: In His holy courts they flourish; From all evil things He spares them, In His mighty arms He bears them. 3 Neither life nor death shall ever From the Lord His children sever; Unto them His grace He showeth, And their sorrows all He knoweth. 4 Lo, their very hairs He numbers, And no daily care encumbers Them that share His every blessing, And His help in woes distressing. 5 Praise the Lord in joyful numbers: Your Protector never slumbers. At the will of your Defender Every foeman must surrender. 6 Though He giveth or He taketh, God His children ne'er forsaketh, His the loving purpose solely To preserve them pure and holy. Amen.

O bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take my example for your guide. 2 "I am the Light, I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day; I keep your feet from straying. I am the way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 "My heart abounds in lowliness, My soul with love is glowing; And gracious words My lips express, With meekness overflowing. My heart, My mind, My strength, My all, To God I yield, on Him I call. 4 "I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from ev'ry guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the refuge of the soul And lead you to your heav'nly goal." 5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suff'ring be undaunted. For those who bear the battle's strain The crown of heav'nly life obtain. Topics: Mission and Witness Used With Tune: MACHS MIT MIR, GOTT Text Sources: Geistliche Lieder und Lobgesänge, 1695 (st. 4)
