To Thee all angels cry aloud; To Thee the powers on high, Both cherubim and seraphim, Continually do cry,-- "O holy, holy, holy Lord, Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory filled Of Thy majestic sway!" The apostles' glorious company, And prophets crowned with light, With all the martyrs' noble host, Thy constant praise recite. The holy Church throughout the world, O Lord, confesses Thee, That Thou the Eternal Father art, Of boundless majesty! Thee, day by day we magnify, Thy mercy we implore, To keep us this day without sin, And guard us ever more. Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

God of all grace and majesty

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of all grace and majesty, Supremely great and good, If I have mercy found with thee Through the atoning blood; The guard of all thy mercies give, And to my pardon join A fear lest I should ever grieve The Comforter divine. 2 If mercy is indeed with thee, May I obedient prove, No e'er abuse my liberty, Or sin against thy love: This choicest fruit of faith bestow On a poor sojourner; And let me pass my days below In humbleness and fear. 3 Still may I walk as in thy sight; My strict observer see; And thou, by rev'rent love, unite My child-like heart to thee: Still let me, till my days are past, At Jesus' feet abide: So shall he lift me up at last, And seat me by his side.

'Twas in the Winter Cold

Author: Charles I. Black Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: 'Twas in the winter cold, when earth Lyrics: 1. ’Twas in the winter cold, when earth Was desolate and wild, That angels welcomed at His birth The everlasting Child. From realms of ever bright’ning day, And from His throne above He came with humankind to stay, All lowliness and love. 2. Then in the manger the poor beast Was present with his Lord; Then swains and pilgrims from the East Saw, wondered, and adored. And I this morn would come with them This blessèd sight to see, And to the Babe of Bethlehem Bend low the reverent knee. 3. But I have not, it makes me sigh, One offering in my power; ’Tis winter all with me, and I Have neither fruit nor flower. O God, O Brother, let me me give My worthless self to Thee; And that the years which I may live May pure and spotless be. 4. Grant me Thyself, O Savior kind, The Spirit undefiled, That I may be in heart and mind As gentle as a child; That I may tread life’s arduous ways As Thou Thyself hast trod, And in the might of prayer and praise Keep ever close to God. 5. Light of the everlasting morn, Deep through my spirit shine; There let Thy presence newly born Make all my being Thine: There try me as the silver, try, And cleanse my soul with care, Till Thou art able to descry Thy faultless image there.

Jag sökte ro i världen, men

Author: Lina Sandell Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jag sökte ro i världen, men Jag fann den aldrig där. Hur skulle jag ock finna den, Där Jesus icke är? Jag sökte ro, jag sökte frid I vänners glada krets, Men om än så förgick en tid, Jag var dock ej till freds. 2 Jag sökte lif uti de ting, Som ej ha lif i sig, Men på den vida jordens ring Det fanns ej lif för mig. Jag sökte friden inom mig, Men friden fanns ej där, Och det blef natt och mörk min stig, Och än jag sökte här. 3 När så hvar källa torkat ut, Hvart näste brunnit ner, Jag sökte och jag fann til slut Den frid, som jesus ger: Han är nu min rättfärdighet, Mitt lif, min enda frid; Hans eviga barmhärtighet, Den tryggar jag mig vid. 4 I nödens och i dödens stund Han skall ej ändra sig, Ty evigt fast står det förbund, Han ingått har med mig. Förr ingenting åt mig förslog Och ingenting var godt, Nu har jag nog och öfvernog Uti hans kärlek blott. Topics: Sinnesändring och Tro; Conversion and Faith Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 924 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing! 4 For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
