Master Builder
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXXI (1792) Meter: Irregular Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament First Line: Ye are God's building, is the word Lyrics: 1 Ye are God's building, is the word,
Rais'd for the glory of the Lord,
Where he delights to dwell:
In Jesus, rais'd by his own hand,
This building ever shall withstand
The hostile gates of hell.
2 As skilful builders always care
Proper materials to prepare,
Needful for strength and grace;
So did he choose us in our head,
Ere time commenc'd, or worlds were made,
To build his dwelling place.
3 Such no untemper'd mortar use,
But justly will the same refuse
For what's more excellent;
All human daubings God despis'd;
When he his noble building rais'd,
Christ was the strong cement.
4 Would you the stately pile survey,
Its beauty, strength and harmony?
Then Christ Immanuel see!
Where all perfections in him meet,
There is the building seen complete,
The sum of all is He.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #36 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Names and Office of Christ Light Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy darkness shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous Gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #47 (1926) Meter: Irregular Topics: Names and Office of Christ King First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus"
There is room in my heart for Thee.
3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
That should set Thy children free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at my side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest to call for me.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Languages: English Tune Title: MARGARET
Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
Thou Camest Down from Heaven on High
Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #87 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Topics: Names and Office of Christ Shepherd First Line: Thou camest down from heav'n on high Lyrics: 1 Thou camest down from heav'n on high,
O Son of God the Father,
For this lost world to bleed and die,
Thy straying sheep to gather,
The works of Satan to destroy,
To turn our sorrow into joy.
2 In Thee the blind receive their sight,
The lame with joy are leaping,
The sorrowful find pure delight,
The weary peaceful sleeping;
Thou givest speech unto the dumb,
And vibrant life to senses numb.
3 Thou Who hast broken Satan's power,
Be Thou our Strength, dear Jesus!
Uphold us in the evil hour,
And from his might release us!
His kingdom is a stronghold still,
And legions hearken to his will.
4 But O, before Thy Word, dear Lord,
The prince of darkness trembles!
He quails before that two-edged Sword
When Thine armed host assembles!
O mighty Word, how great thy power!
Thou art our refuge, shield, and tower.

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #131 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Names and Office of Christ Peace Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought his Israel
Into joy from sadness;
'Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst His prison,
And, from three days' sleep in death,
As a sun hath risen.
2 All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From His light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
Neither might the gates of death,
Nor the tomb's dark portal,
Nor the waters, nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal.
3 But to-day amidst Thine own
Thou didst stand, bestowing
That Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.
Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN

From Thy gracious paths have strayed.
Cold to Thee and all Thy kindness,

Thro' dim clouds that gather round us,
Thou hast sought, and Thou hast found us.
2 O most Merciful, most Holy,
Light Thy wanderers on their way;
Keep us ever Thine, Thine wholly,
Suffer us no more to stray!
Cloud and storm oft gather round us;
We were lost, but Thou hast found us.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DIESES IST DER TAG DER WONNE

O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth
Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #177 (1990) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6.6 Topics: Christ Kingly Office of Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Savior shine,
I'd soar, and touch the heav'nly strings,
and vie with Gabriel while he sings
in notes almost divine,
in notes almost divine.
2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt,
my ransom from the dreadful guilt
of sin, and wrath divine:
I'd sing his glorious righteousness,
in which all perfect, heav'nly dress
my soul shall ever shine,
my soul shall ever shine.
3 I'd sing the characters he bears,
and all the forms of love he wears,
exalted on his throne:
in loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
make all his glories known,
make all his glories known.
4 Well, the delightful day will come
when my dear Lord will bring me home,
and I shall see his face;
then with my Savior, Brother, Friend,
a blest eternity I'll spend,
triumphant in his grace,
triumphant in his grace.
Scripture: Revelation 5:11-12 Languages: English Tune Title: ARIEL

And heaven's gates we see,
To laud Thy Name in mansions bright,
Through all eternity!
Through all eternity!
