It is a thing most wonderful

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #651 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heaven, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true; he chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved him not. 3 I cannot tell how he could love a child so weak and full of sin; his love must be most wonderful, if he could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in his heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know his love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord! O light the flame within my heart, and I will love thee more and more, until I see thee as thou art. Scripture: 1 John 4:10 Languages: English Tune Title: BROOKFIELD

Behold, O Israel's God!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #655 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: For the young and old Lyrics: 1 Behold, O Israel's God! From thine exalted throne, And view the dang'rous state of those Thou call'st to be thy own. 2 The children of thy flock, By early cov'nant thine, See how they pour their bleeding souls On ev'ry idol's shrine! 3 To indolence and pride What piteous victims made! Crush'd in their parents' fond embrace, And by their love betray'd. 4 By pleasure's polish'd dart What numbers here are slain! What numbers there for slaughter bound In Mammon's golden chain! 5 O let thine arm awake And dash the idols down: O call the captives of their pow'r Thy treasure and thy crown. 6 Thee let the fathers own, And thee the sons adore; Join'd to the Lord by solemn vows, To be forgot no more!

My flying years, time urges on

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #656 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: For the young and old Lyrics: 1 My flying years, time urges on; What's mortal must decay; My friends--my youth's companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 2 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cine then prolong my breath? Or virtue shield my heart? 3 Oh! no--then smooth, O Lord, the hour; On thee my hope depends: Support me with almighty pow'r, While dust to dust descend. 4 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels guard the way,) With rapture haste to thine abode, To dwell in endless day. 5 Thro' heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy love I'll then proclaim: And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name. Scripture: Isaiah 46:4

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #665 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young 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 Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood he would honour 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 For he is our childhood's pattern, day by day like us he grew, he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that Child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 6 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; where like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around.
