Friends of God Whose Faith Abounded

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #224 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Friends of God whose faith abounded have their victories told aloud; by such witnessses surrounded, Christ's unseen, uncounted crowd, we take up the unfinished race, chosen, trained, inspired by grace. 2 Confident and persevering, firmly let us run to win, stripped of all the interfering rags and shreds of stubborn sin; still on Jesus fix our eyes, faith's foundation and its prize. 3 Jesus, for the joy before him made a crown of thorns his own, seated now where we adore him, high upon his Father's throne; see the shame which he endured, share the triuph he secured.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #225 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood he would honor and obey, love and watch the lowly maiden in whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as he. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heav'n above, and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high; when like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around.

Come, Oh, Come, Thou Quickening Spirit

Author: Heinrich Held; Charles W. Schaeffer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #226 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: Come, oh, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, oh, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit, God from all eternity! May Thy power never fail us; Dwell within us constantly. Then shall truth and life and light Banish all the gloom of night. 2 Grant our hearts in fullest measure Wisdom, counsel, purity, That they ever may be seeking Only that which pleaseth Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Show us, Lord, the path of blessing; When we trespass on our way, Cast, O Lord, our sins behind Thee And be with us day by day. Should we stray, O Lord, recall; Work repentance when we fall. 4 With our spirit bear Thou witness That we are the sons of God Who rely upon Him solely When we pass beneath the rod; For we know, as children should, That the cross is for our good. 5 Prompt us, Lord, to come before Him With a childlike heart to pray; Sigh in us, O Holy Spirit, When we know not what to say. Then our prayer is not in vain, And our faith new strength shall gain. 6 If our soul can find no comfort And despondency grows strong, That the heart cries out in anguish: "O my God, how long, how long?" Comfort then our aching breast, Grant it courage, patience, rest. 7 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within us perfect And the evil foe subdue. Grant us weapons for the strife And with victory crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death, or shame Ever part us from our Savior; Lord our Refuge is Thy name. Though our flesh cry ever: Nay! Be Thy Word to us still Yea! 9 And when life's frail thread is breaking, Then assure us more and more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store, Glory never yet expressed, Glory of the saints at rest.

Who is this that comes from Edom

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #228 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All his raiment stained with blood; To the slave proclaiming freedom; Bringing and bestowing good: Glorious in the garb he wears, Glorious in the spoils he bears? 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Trav'ling onward in his might; 'Tis the Saviour, O how glorious To his people is the sight! Jesus now is strong to save, Mighty to redeem the slave. 3 Why that blood his raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of his foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain: Fall'n they are, no more to rise, All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall thy people, never Cease to sing what thou hast done: Thou hast fought thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal thy people's woes.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Carl G. Seaburg, 1932-; Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #228 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed; so may we when lie turns hard find in love our stay and guard. 2 Shepherds came to see this wonder, and to kneel in holy awe at that lowly stable manger where the infant lay on straw; so may we this happy morn honor every child that's born. 3 From afar three magi journeyed to that stable rude and bare, to pay homage to the infant, offering gifts both rich and rare; so may we our gifts bestow, whether we be high or low. 4 In that happy Christmas spirit, hear the angels from on high sing their ancient salutations: joy's a gift you cannot buy. So may we, with heart that sings, share the truth this season brings. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Whence came all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended for their Saviour's honour long, wrestling on till life was ended, following not the sinful throng; these, who well the fight sustained, triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, sore with woe and anguish tried, who in prayer full oft have striven with the God they glorified; now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, th'Almighty contemplating, did as priests before him stand, soul and body always waiting day and night at his command: now in God's most holy place blest they stand before his face.

Since Our Great High Priest, Christ Jesus

Author: Christopher M.
