Today a Wonder We Behold

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: To-day a wonder we behold, A Mystery profound,-- The Great Invisible of old Before our eyes is bound: And He Who came to set us free, Is held in base captivity. 26 The judge of all, to Whose assize The race of man shall wend, When He to judgement shall arise, And forth the summons send,-- Behold Him, faultless and alone, Before an earthly judgement throne. And cruel hands are on Him laid, And smite Him on the face, 'Though by Himself the hands were made, Thus sullied with disgrace; Creation, view the awful sight, The creature his Creator smite. He, Who Immortal Life bestows, And hades' might defies, Is hurried by relentless hands, To Calvary, where He dies;-- And all is borne,--the scorn, the Cross, In love to save our souls from loss.

Angels in mystic radiance garbed Lead the triumphal song: Angels and saints are one, and I Join glad the gladdest company, and hail the Lord of hosts. 4 In heaven above, in heaven above, No tears of pain are shed: For nothing there can fade or die; Life’s fulness round is spread, And like an ocean, joy o’erflows, And with immortal mercy glows Our God the Lord of hosts. 5 In heaven above, in heaven above, God hath a joy prepared, Which mortal ear hath never heard, Nor mortal vision shared, Which never pierced to mortal breast, By mortal lips was ne'er expressed, O God, the Lord of hosts! 6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Accept my thankful praise: Give me, as to the happy ones, Treasure of endless days. If firm in faith and hope I stand, I gain the crown, the better land, O God the Lord of hosts.

Have We Not Known? Have We Not Heard

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Have we not known? Have we not heard how from that throne on high there sprang, at God's creative word, our earth and sea and sky? Beneath his heaven stands displayed this firmly-founded world he made. 2 Our days on earth are in his hand, our thread of life, how frail! Before his greatness none can stand, no mortal strength prevail. All human pride and power must fall: his kingdom stands and orders all. 3 The starry host he holds in place and they his power proclaim; beyond the darkest depths of space he knows them all by name. No hand but his could set them there, no mind in majesty compare. 4 Have we not heard? Have we not known how God shall still sustain the heart that looks to him alone and his eternal reign? where borne aloft on eagles' wings we share the song creation sings.

To depths of earth Thou didst descend

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: To depths of earth Thou didst descend, O Christ, to break the chain That held the sons of men enslaved, And lead them forth again; As Jonah left the living grave, So cam’st Thou forth, O Christ, to save. Unbroken were the seals when Thou Didst leave the dismal tomb, Even as the virgin bars remained When Thou didst leave the womb; And Thou hast ope’d the gates of heaven, And entrance free to all is given. O Thou, my Saviour and my God, Who camest from above, And gav’st Thyself for sinful men An offering of love! Now, rising from the grave, we see Our human race arise with Thee.

Author: Lucy Larcom Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In Christ I feel the heart of God Throbbing from Heav’n through earth; Life stirs again within the clod, Renewed in beauteous birth; The soul springs up, a flower of prayer, Breathing His breath out on the air. 2. In Christ I touch the hand of God, From His pure height reached down, By blessèd ways before untrod, To lift us to our crown; Vict’ry that only perfect is Through loving sacrifice, like His. 3. Holding His hand, my steadied feet May walk the air, the seas; On life and death His smile falls sweet, Lights up all mysteries; Stranger nor exile can I be In new worlds where He leadeth me. 4. Not my Christ only; He is ours: Humanity’s close bond; Key to its vast, unopened powers, Dream of our dreams beyond. What yet we shall be none can tell: Now we are His, and all is well.

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Lord, hear the right, regard my cry Lyrics: 1. Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere, Send Thine approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2. With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3. O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thine almighty aid, Let me Thy lovingkindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4. O guard me well as one would guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry; Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o’ershadow me. 5. Mine enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6. Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life’s treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth’s joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7. When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.
