O Christian brethern marvel not!

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 John 3:13-18 Lyrics: 1 O Christian brethern marvel not! What if the world hate you; It is the christians share and lot, Whilst here on earth below. 2 The world will ever love its ways, That of unrighteousness! The carnal mind can ne'er embrace The ways of life and peace. 3 Those who have pass'd from death to life Must needs expect to find, Continual war, and constant strife, With those of carnal mind. 4 The soul remains with sin defil'd! Whilst in a carnal state-- And never will be reconciled To bear the christians fate. 5 Where there is not a living faith, The mind is not renew'd; And still remains in sin and death, And enmity with God.

Of what great crime have you to make confession, what dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; they give you gall to drink, they still decry you; they crucify you. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit, this I do merit. 4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; the Master pays the debt his servants owe him, who would not know him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness, the sinful child of man may live in gladness; we forfeited our lives, yet are acquitted; God is committed. 6 I’ll think upon your mercy without ceasing, that earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing; to do your will shall be my sole endeavor henceforth forever. 7 And when, dear Lord, before your throne in heaven to me the crown of joy at last is given, where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you, I too shall praise you.

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #315 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Scripture: 1 John 3:2 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 meek and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high, where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #429 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Scripture: 1 John 3:2 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 feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth 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 our Lord in heav'n above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.
