Earth has many a noble city

Author: E. Caswall; A. C. Prudentius Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #67 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city; Bethlehem, thou dost all excel: Out of thee the Lord of heaven Came to rule His Israel. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning Was the Star that told His birth, To the world its God announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth. 3 Eastern sages at His cradle Make oblations rich and rare; See them give, in deep devotion, Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning; Incense doth their God disclose, Gold the King of kings proclaimeth, Myrrh His sepulchre foreshows. 5 Jesus, Whom the Gentiles worshipped At Thy glad Epiphany, Unto Thee, with God the Father And the Spirit, glory be.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Author: Sir John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #68b (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me; Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way. From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. Amen. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
