"His free ways"
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #196 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself Lyrics: 1 Oh, see how Jesus trusts himself
Unto our childish love!
As though by his free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove.
His sacred name a common word
On earth he loves to hear;
There is no majesty in him
Which love may not come near.
2 The light of love is round his feet,
His paths are never dim;
And he comes nigh to us when we
Dare not come nigh to him.
Let us be simple with him then,
Not backward, stiff, nor cold,
As though our Bethlehem could be
What Sinai was of old. Scripture: Luke 10:39 Languages: English Tune Title: FLENSBURG
"His free ways"
The Perfect Pattern
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #199 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: Let worldly minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let worldly minds the world pursue,
It has no charms for me;
Once I admired its trifles too,
But grace has set me free.
As by the light of opening day,
The stars are all concealed;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When Jesus is revealed.
2 Creatures no more divide my choice,
I bid them all depart;
His name, and love, and gracious voice.
Have fixed my roving heart.
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me?
Now, Lord! I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee. Scripture: Psalm 16:8 Languages: English Tune Title: VOC DILECTI
The Perfect Pattern
The true Test
Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: Laudes Domini #200 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: We may not climb the heavenly steeps Lyrics: 1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown.
2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has yet its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
3 The healing of the seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
4 Through him the first fond prayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with his name.
5 O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own thy sway, we hear thy call,
We test our lives by thine! Scripture: Luke 8:45 Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY
The true Test
Christ in the Word
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #201 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: Thou lovely Source of true delight Lyrics: 1 Thou lovely Source of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore!
Unvail thy beauties to my sight,
That I may love thee more.
2 Thy glory o'er creation shines;--
But in thy sacred word,
I read, in fairer, brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying Lord.
3 'Tis here, whene'er my comforts droop,
And sin and sorrow rise,
Thy love, with cheering beams of hope,
My fainting heart supplies.
4 But ah! too soon the pleasing scene
Is clouded o'er with pain;
My gloomy fears rise dark between,
And I again complain.
5 Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light!
Oh, come with blissful ray;
Break radiant through the shades of night,
And chase my fears away.
6 Then shall my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of thy love:
But the full glories of thy face
Are only known above. Scripture: John 5:39 Languages: English Tune Title: HAVEN
Christ in the Word
"Altogether Lovely"
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #202 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
He saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord! they should all be thine. Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #639 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Christ Example of Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as he.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars his children crowned
All in white shall wait around.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:12 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Christ's earthly path
Author: James G. Deck Hymnal: Laudes Domini #191 (1888) Topics: Christ Example of First Line: O Lord, we now thy path retrace Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we now the path retrace
Which thou on earth hast trod,
To man thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God!
2 Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced thy side
Drew forth the blood to save.
3 Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,
Or suffering, shame, or loss,
Thy path uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
4 O Lord, with sorrow and with shame,
We meekly would confess,
How little we, who bear thy name,
Thy mind, thy ways, express.
5 Give us thy meek, thy lowly mind;
We would obedient be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In fellowship with thee. Scripture: John 13:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HUMMEL
