From East to West, from Shore to Shore

Author: Coelius Sedulius; John Ellerton Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #192 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, let earth awake and sing-- the holy Child, whom Mary bore, the Christ, the Lord, the King! 2 For lo! the world's creator wears the fashion of a slave; our human flesh the God-head bears, a human race to save. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden in her place became in ways beyond all thought the vessel of his grace. 4 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, nor scorned the manger bed; and he, whose bounty feedeth all, at Mary's breast was fed. 5 To shepherds poor the Lord most high, Great Shepherd, was revealed While angel choirs sang joyously above the midnight field: 6 "All glory be to God above, and on the earth be peace to all who long to taste his love, till time itself shall cease."

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.
