Divinity of Christ

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-3 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars. Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years! 4 But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth, how full of grace, When through his eyes the Godhead shone. 6 Archangels leave their high abode To learn new myst'ries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Emmanuel.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Scripture: John 1:35-42 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways; reclothe us in our rightful mind, in purer lives thy service find, in deeper rev'rence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, beside the Syrian sea, the gracious calling of the Lord, let us, like them, without a word rise up and follow thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress; and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, its heats expire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm!
