Father, Who Art Alone
Author: Edith Jones Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, who art alone
Our Helper and our Stay;
O hear us! as we plead
For loved ones far away;
And shield with Thine almighty hand
Our wanderers by sea and land.
2. O compass with Thy love
The daily path they tread!
And may Thy light and truth
Upon their hearts be shed;
That, one in all things with Thy will,
Heav’n’s peace and joy their souls may fill.
3. Guard them from every harm
When dangers shall assail,
And teach them that Thy power
Can never, never fail;
We cannot with our loved ones be,
But trust them, Father, unto Thee. Used With Tune: SAMUEL (Sullivan) Text Sources: Home Hymn Book, by Mrs. Hawkins, 1885

Come, O thou King of kings!
Author: P. P. Pratt, 1807-1857 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou King of kings!
We've waited long for thee,
With haling in thy wings,
To set thy people free.
Come, thou desire of nations, come;
Come, thou desire of nations, come;
Let Israel now be gathered home.
2 Come make an end of sin,
And cleanse the earth by fire;
And righteousness bring in
That saints may tune the lyre,
With songs of joy, a happier strain,
With songs of joy, a happier strain,
To welcome in thy peaceful reign.
3 Hosannas now shall sound
From all the ransomed throng,
And glory echo round
A new triumphal song.
The wide expanse of heaven fill,
The wide expanse of heaven fill
With anthems sweet from Zion's hill.
4 Hail! Prince of life and peace!
Thrice welcome to thy throne!
While all the chosen race
Their Lord and Savior own.
The heathen nations bow the knee;
The heathen nations bow the knee,
And every tongue gives praise to thee.

Let Earth and Heaven Combine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let earth and Heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity,
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
2. He laid His glory by,
He wrapped Him in our clay;
Unmarked by human eye,
The latent Godhead lay;
Infant of days He here became,
And bore the mild Immanuel’s name.
3. See in that infant’s face
The depths of deity,
And labor while ye gaze
To sound the mystery
In vain; ye angels gaze no more,
But fall, and silently adore.
4. Unsearchable the love
That hath the Savior brought;
The grace is far above
Of men or angels’ thought:
Suffice for us that God, we know,
Our God, is manifest below.
5. He deigns in flesh t’appear,
Widest extremes to join;
To bring our vileness near,
And make us all divine:
And we the life of God shall know,
For God is manifest below.
6. Made perfect first in love,
And sanctified by grace,
We shall from earth remove,
And see His glorious face:
His love shall then be fully showed,
And man shall all be lost in God. Used With Tune: ST. JOHN (Parish) Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 5

A Good High Priest Is Come
Author: John Cennick Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A good High Priest is come,
supplying Aaron's place,
and taking up his room,
dispensing life and grace;
the law by Aaron's priesthood came,
but grace and truth by Jesus' name.
2 He once temptations knew
of every sort and kind,
that He might succor show
to every tempted mind;
in every point the Lamb was tried
like us, and then for us He died.
3 He died, but lives again,
and by the throne He stands,
there shows how He was slain,
op'ning His piercéd hands;
our Priest abides and pleads the cause
of us who have transgressed His laws.
4 I other priests disclaim,
and laws and off'rings too;
none but the bleeding Lamb
the mighty work can do;
He shall have all the praise: for He
has loved, and died, and lives for me. Topics: Salvation Used With Tune: MILLENNIUM
A Good High Priest Is Come
Encouraged By Thy Word
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 99 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Encouraged by Thy word
Of promise to the poor;
Behold, a beggar, Lord,
Waits at Thy mercy’s door!
No hand, no heart, O Lord, but Thine,
Can help or pity wants like mine.
2 The beggar’s usual plea
Relief from men to gain,
If offered unto Thee,
I know Thou would’st disdain:
And pleas which move Thy gracious ear,
Are such as men would scorn to hear.
3 I have no right to say
That though I now am poor,
Yet once there was a day
When I possessèd more:
Thou know’st that from my very birth,
I’ve been the poorest wretch on earth.
4 Nor can I dare profess,
As beggars often do,
Though great is my distress,
My wants have been but few:
If Thou shouldst leave my soul to starve,
It would be what I well deserve.
5 ’Twere folly to pretend
I never begged before;
Or if Thou now befriend,
I’ll trouble Thee no more:
Thou often hast relieved my pain,
And often I must come again.
6 Though crumbs are much too good
For such a dog as I;
No less than children’s food
My soul can satisfy:
O do not frown and bid me go,
I must have all Thou canst bestow.
7 Nor can I willing be
Thy bounty to conceal
From others, who like me,
Their wants and hunger feel:
I’ll tell them of Thy mercy’s store,
And try to send a thousand more.
8 Thy thoughts, Thou only wise!
Our thoughts and ways transcend,
Far as the archèd skies
Above the earth extend:
Such pleas as mine men would not bear,
But God receives a beggar’s prayer. Used With Tune: VIA PACIS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Efengyl nef yw hon;
Mae uffern lawn o dân
Yn crynu ’nawr o’r bron;
Hi gwymp, hi gwymp, er maint ei grym;
O flaen fy Iesu ’d yw hi ddim.

Trwy’r ddaear, uffern fawr, a’r nef. Used With Tune: RHOSYMEDRE
