Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For He is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew;
And He feels for all our sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is the Lord in heav'n above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
5 Not in that poor, lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
Shall we see Him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high.
Then like stars His children, crowned,
All in white, His praise will sound! Used With Tune: IRBY

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 377 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
hast all our fathers led;
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
before thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
our wandering footsteps guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Topics: Proper 11 Year A; Proper 15 Year C Used With Tune: SALZBURG (HAYDN)

O Love, How Deep, How Broad
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy:
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil power betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad--
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS Text Sources: Latin hymn, 15th c.

O Jesus, I have promised
Author: John Ernest Bode, 1816-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 620 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
Lord, be for ever near me,
my master and my friend:
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 Still let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle
and tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw me nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
Lord, speak to reassure me,
to chasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
true guardian of my soul.
4 Lord, let me see your footmarks
and in them plant my own;
that I may follow boldly
and in your strength alone;
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end;
and then in heaven receive me,
my Saviour and my friend. Topics: Commitment; Guidance; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Jesus Christ Lordship; Perseverance; Pilgrimage; Temptation Used With Tune: WOLVERCOTE
