The Cedar of Lebanon, plant of renown, Hath bowed to the hyssop his wide spreading crown: The Son of the Highest, an Infant, is laid On the breast of His mother, that lowliest maid. Refrain All glory to God in the highest we sing, And peace upon earth through the newly born King. 2. From Star of the Sea the glad sunlight hath shined; Springs the Lion of Judah from Naphtali’s hind; The life from the dying, the rose from the thorn: The Maker of all things of maiden is born.

[Refrain] 4. In midst of the Garden the tree of life stands, And offers His twelve fruits to lips and to hands, The Lord of Salvation, the Gentiles’ desire, Hath ta’en from the cherubs their sword-blade of fire. [Refrain] 5. On hole of the aspic the sucking Child plays, And His hand on the den of the cockatrice lays; The Dragon, which over a fallen world reigned, By the seed of the woman is vanquished and chained.

The Heavenly Journey

Author: Theodore Tilton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #131151 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 First Line: Take thy staff, O pilgrim! Haste thee on thy way Lyrics: 1 Take thy staff, O pilgrim! Haste thee on thy way; Let the morrow find thee farther than today. If thou seek the city of the Golden Street, Pause not on thy pathway, rest not weary feet. In the heav’nly journey press with zeal along— Resting will but weary, running make thee strong. 2 Wings that eagles carry, bear them in their flight; So thy burden bears thee— surely then ’tis light! Haste, it hath been told thee— all things are thine own; Pass the pearly portals, stand before the throne. Here thy journey endeth, here thy staff lay down, Enter here thy mansion, here receive thy crown! Languages: English Tune Title: AVONDALE
