As with Gladness Men of Old
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #358 (1987) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Offering Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore your splendor see.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly infant bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek your mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that cradle plain and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way,
and when mortal things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.
5 In that glorious city bright
none shall need created light;
you its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there forever may we sing
alleluias to our King!
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

Christ Is the King and He Shall Reign
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #359 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Offering Lyrics: 1 Christ is the King and he shall reign
from sea to utmost sea,
and unto earth's remotest bounds
his peaceful rule shall be.
2 Tribes that in farthest deserts dwell
shall bow before his throne;
his enemies shall be subdued,
and he shall rule alone.
3 Kings all shall come from distant lands
and islands of the sea;
their offerings they shall bring to him
and wait on bended knee.
4 He will deliver those in need,
the weak who cry in fear;
he shall redeem them from all wrong;
their life to him is dear.
5 Long shall he live, so bring to him
your gifts of finest gold;
to him shall constant prayer be made,
his praise each day be told.

what it means in daily living

in an age of change and doubt
keep us faithful to the gospel;
help us work your purpose out.

all we have to give, receive:

we adore you! We believe!

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Hymnal: Together in Song #454 (1999) Topics: Worship The Offering Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness,
high on his heart he will bear it for you,
comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness,
guiding your steps in the way best for you.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth you would reckon to own:
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to bring to his throne.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.

All good gifts around us are sent from heaven
above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all
his love.

of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star.
The wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. Refrain

for all things bright and good:
the seedtime and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.

for all your love imparts;
accept what you most welcome:
our humble, thankful hearts! Refrain
