Lord, Who Left the Highest Heaven
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #692 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven
for a homeless human birth
and, a child within a stable,
came to share the life of earth -
with your grace and mercy bless
all who suffer homelessness.
2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness
refuge under foreign skies
from the swords of Herod's soldiers,
ravaged homes and parents' cries -
may your grace and mercy rest
on the homeless and oppressed.
3 Lord, who lived secure and settled,
safe within the Father's plan,
and in wisdom, stature, favor
growing up from boy to man -
with your grace and mercy bless
all who strive for holiness.
4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred,
followed still as duty led,
sky the roof and earth the pillow
for the Prince of glory's head -
with your grace and mercy bless
sacrifice for righteousness.
5 Lord, who in your cross and passion
hung beneath a darkened sky,
yet whose thoughts were for your mother,
and a thief condemned to die -
may your grace and mercy rest
on the helpless and distressed.
6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant
with our whole salvation won,
risen, glorified, ascended,
all the Father's purpose done -
may your grace, all conflict past,
bring your children home at last. Topics: Peace and Justice; Christ--Life and ministry of; Justice; Social ministry; Suffering Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Languages: English Tune Title: EDEN CHURCH
