Behold We Come, Dear Lord, to Thee

Author: John Austin, 1613-1669 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #695 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Behold we come, dear Lord, to Thee, And bow before Thy throne; We come to offer on our knee Our vows to Thee alone. 2. Whate’er we have, whate’er we are, Thy bounty freely gave; Thou dost here in mercy spare, And wilt hereafter save. 3. Come then, my soul, bring all thy powers, And grieve thou hast no more; Bring every day thy choicest hours, And thy great God adore. 4. But, above all, prepare thy heart, On this His own blest day; In its sweet task to bear thy part, And sing, and love, and pray. Languages: English Tune Title: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT

The Son of God his glory hides

Author: John Chandler (1806-1876); Jean de Santeul (1630--1697) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #801 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Son of God his glory hides to dwell with parents poor; and he who made the heavens abides in dwelling-place obscure. 2 Those mighty hands that stay the sky no earthly toil refuse; and he who set the stars on high an humble trade pursues. 3 He in whose sight the angels stand, at whose behest they fly, now yields himself to man's command, and lays his glory by. 4 For this thy lowliness revealed, Jesu, we thee adore, and praise to God the Father yield and Spirit evermore.
