cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry:

Come, We That Love the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,798 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known,
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.
3 The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets.
4 Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground
to fairer worlds on high. Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

till death shall set me free,
and then go home my crown to wear,
for there's a crown for me.

O resurrection day!--
when Christ the Lord from heaven comes down
and bears my soul away.

may Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

when from the heart we say,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear
when this sweet chant they hear,

may Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th'eternal song
through all the ages long,
may Jesus Christ be praised!

opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.

earth and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.

flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
call us to rejoice in thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
well-spring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother--
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the happy chorus
which the morning stars began;
love divine is reigning o'er us,
joining all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music leads us sunward
in the triumph song of life. Topics: Adoration Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

In the bleak midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 4:8 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone:
snow had fallen,
snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter,
long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him,
nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
the Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him whom cherubim
worship night and day,
a breastful of milk
and a mangerful of hay:
enough for him
whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel
which adore.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air,
but only his mother,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the Beloved
with a kiss.
5 What can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb,
if I were a wise man
I would do my part,
yet what I can I give him,
give my heart.

all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same:
the one eternal God
before what now appears,
the First, the Last, beyond all thought
his timeless years!
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness;
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Behold the Lord of all:
creation speaks his praise,
and everywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 God's Spirit freely flows,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spoke of old,
is speaking still.
Established is God's law
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 God has eternal life
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same! Topics: Eternity of God; Faithfulness of God; Holy Spirit; Law of God; Majesty of God; Prophetic Witness; Providence; Word of God Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Jewish Yigdal c. 13th cent.

to guard his servants here below.

command to guide us on our way,
and bid them every evening keep
their watch around us while we sleep.

to do us harm or cause us fear;
and we shall dwell, when life is past,
with angels round thy throne at last. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: SOLOTHURN

holy, holy, holy Lord.”
