O Word of God incarnate

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 485 hymnals Lyrics: O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky, We praise thee for the radiance That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored, It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word. It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, 'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to thee. O make thy Church, dear Savior, A lamp of purest gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see thee face to face. Amen. Topics: Advent; Sunday Schools Advent; Sunday Schools General Use Used With Tune: MUNICH

We Would See Jesus

Author: Anna B. Warner Appears in 275 hymnals First Line: We would see Jesus, for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus, for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation Whereon our feet were set by sov'reign grace; Nor life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus, other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing; We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee. 4 We would see Jesus; this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day! and farewell, mortal night!

In Heavenly Love Abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Appears in 567 hymnals First Line: In heav'nly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heav'nly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the Incarnate Deity, Pleased as Man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel! Mild He lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Risen with healing in his wings, Light and life to all He brings, Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King! Amen.

The Kingship of Jesus Christ

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.

When our Master’s Voice we hear Speak our name in accents clear. 3 O the mansions Christ prepares, Where for each He looks and cares! O the gardens blooming bright, Where His glory is the Light!
