Hush! The Virgin's Song Is Ringing

Author: Henry Trend Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Hush! the virgin’s song is ringing Lyrics: 1 Hush! the virgin’s song is ringing Through the lowly manger’s shed, Joseph’s voice the chorus singing O’er their glorious Infant’s bed. 2 Sleep! my Child, for in the manger Softest hay beneath Thee lies; Loveliest Infant, here no danger Can Thy precious life surprise. 3 Sleep! my Child, my crown, my beauty, Lulled with nectar from my breast; Sleep! whilst sweet maternal duty Watches o’er Thy balmy rest. 4 Sleep! my Child, so full of sweetness, Sweeter than the honey comb; Sleep! my joy, my life’s completeness, Offspring of my virgin womb. 5 Sleep! my Child, and I will render To Thy wishes full supply; Thy dear mother’s pleasure, tender As the apple of her eye. 6 Sleep! my Child, my heart’s sole treasure, Giving joy which fears not death; Angels seem to whisper pleasure When I hear Thy sleeping breath. 7 Sleep! my Child; Thy mother singing Lulls Thee now to calm repose; Joseph’s voice responsive ringing Softly as the chorus flows. 8 Sleep! my Child, for I am pouring Rose and violet on Thy bed: Hyacinths bestrew Thy flooring; Lilies lie around Thy head. 9 Sleep! my Child; were minstrels needed I would send for Bethlehem’s swains; Never are their songs unheeded, None can waken holier strains.

Dwell In Me

Sewall Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Love of God, so great and holy Lyrics: 1 Love of God, so great and holy, Grace of God, so full and free, Templed in a Child so lowly, Canst Thou come and dwell in me? 2 Sin has held a long dominion, Darkened thought, debased desire, Fettered will, corrupted conscience, Worshipped with unholy fire. 3 I am all defiled and guilty; Yet Thy temple, Lord, would be! Stronger than the strong man enter; Bind my foe; deliver me. 4 Love of God, so great and holy, Grace of Christ, so full and free, While I kneel, Thy child and lowly, Make Thy promise good in me.

Faint, Yet Pursuing

Author: Lydia Banks Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We are walking on the waters Lyrics: 1 We are walking on the waters Of a dark and troubled sea, And our hearts, O Lord, are fainting That we cannot come to Thee. 2Fainting at the storms that gather, Tho’ above Thy voice be heard— Fainting in Thy very presence, Tho’ we venture at Thy word. 3 Yet we know, since Thou hast bidden Us to walk, Thou will sustain, Thro’ a way as rough and pathless As the storm tossed watery main. 4 And if dangers so encompass That Thy form we scarcely see, We may still press surely onward, For Thou bidst us come to Thee.
