High on a Hill of Dazzling Light

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1. High on a hill of dazzling light The King of glory spreads His seat, And troops of angels stretched for flight, Stand waiting round His awful feet. 2. Go, saith the Lord, My Gabriel, go, Salute the virgin’s fruitful womb; Make haste, ye cherubs down below, Sing and proclaim the Savior come. 3. Here a bright squadron leaves the skies, And thick around Elisha stands; Anon a heav’nly soldier flies, And breaks the chains from Peter’s hands. 4. Thy wingèd troops, O God of hosts! Wait on Thy wandering church below: Here we are sailing to Thy coasts; Let angels be our convoy, too. 5. Are they not all Thy servants, Lord? At Thy command they go and come; With cheerful haste obey Thy word, And guard Thy children to their home.

When from the East the wise men came

Author: Rev. Dr. J. H. Hopkins Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When from the East the wise men came, Led by the Star of Bethlehem, The gifts they bro't to Jesus were Of gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 2 Bright gold of Ophir, passing fine, Proclaims a King of royal line; For David's son in David's town, Is born the heir of David's crown. 3 The incense-clouds, with fragrance rare, The presence of a God declare; Lo! kings in adoration fall, For Mary's son is Lord of all. 4 The myrrh, with bitter taste, foreshows A life of sorrows, wounds and woes;-- The deadly cup, that overran With anguish for the Son of Man. 5 Our gold upon Thine altar lies; Our prayers to Thee, as incense, rise; Accept as myrrh our tears and sighs: O King, O God, O Sacrifice! Amen. Used With Tune: [When from the east the wise men came]

The Protective Power of God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: God will our strength and refuge prove Lyrics: 1 God will our strength and refuge prove, In all distress a present aid, And, though the trembling earth remove, We will not fear nor be dismayed. 2 Our trust in god shall still abide tho' hills be shaken from their seat, And though the ocean's swelling tide Against the trembling mountains beat. 3 A river flows, whose living streams Make glad the city of our God, The holy place where glory beams Where God Most High has His abode. 4 God has in her His dwelling made, And she shall nevermore be moved; Her God shall early give her aide, Her constant helper He has proved. 5 The kings and nations raged in pride; He spake, the earth did melt away; The Lord of Hosts is on her side, Our fathers' God, our strength and stay. 6 Come, see the works of God displayed, The wonders of His mighty hand, What desolations He has made, What ruin spread through all the land. 7 Through all the peopled earth He makes The dreadful scourge of war to cease, The implements of battle breaks, And makes the nations dwell in peace. 8 Be still, ye nations, bow in fear, And know that I alone am God; To us the Lord of Hosts is near, Our fathers' God is our abode.
