O LORD, Our Lord, How Wondrous Great

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great is thine exalted name! The glories of Thy heav'nly state let men and babes proclaim. 2 When I behold Thy works on high, the moon that rules the night, and stars that well adorn the sky, those moving worlds of light: 3 Lord, what is man, or all his race, who dwells so far below, that Thou shouldst visit him with grace, and love his nature so? 4 That thine eternal Son should bear to take a mortal form; made lower than his angels are, to save a dying worm? 5 Let him be crowned with majesty, who bowed His head in death; and be His honors sounded high, by all things that have breath. 6 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great is Thine exalted name! The glories of Thy heav'nly state let the whole earth proclaim. Topics: Revelation Scripture: Psalm 8 Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Author: Thomas Pestel (1585-1659) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the great Creator makes himself a house of clay, in human flesh, our form he takes which he will bear alway. 2 Hark, how the wise eternal Word as a weak infant cries! In form of servant is the Lord, and God in cradle lies. 3 This wonder all the world amazed, it shook the starry frame; the hosts of heaven stood to gaze, and bless the Saviour's name. 4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight; a choir of angels sings, and eastern sages with delight adore this King of kings. 5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone, to sing with choirs above and celebrate this Holy One, the God of peace and love.

Hark! Sinner Hark!

Author: William Hague Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee Lyrics: 1 Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee; How shall I let thee go? How shall I thy destruction see, And all thine anguish know? 2 Sinner, how shall I give thee up? I’ve loved thee as a child; Yet of thy sins, thou fill’st the cup, As if with passion wild. 3 Sinner, how shall I let thee go? My heart doth yearn for thee, Yet thou dost love transgression so, Thou wilt not turn to Me. 4 O sinner, stop! pause in thy path, Pause, ere it be too late; And now, while I hold back My wrath, Escape thy threatening fate. 5 But if thou wilt not, then I must Forever let thee go; And that I am both kind and just, The universe shall know.

Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christ, uplifted from the earth, your arms stretched out above through every culture, every birth, to draw an answering love. 2 Still east and west your love extends, and always, near and far, you call and claim us as your friends and love us as we are. 3 Where age and gender, class and race, divide us to our shame, you see a person and a face, a neighbour with a name. 4 May we, accepted as we are, yet called in grace to grow, reach out to others, near and far your healing love to show.
