If So Poor A Worm As I

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals First Line: Father, Son and Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host Let Thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to Thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and Heaven! 2 Vilest of the fallen race, Lo! I answer to Thy call, Meanest vessel of Thy grace, (Grace divinely free for all) Lo, I come to do Thy will, All Thy counsel to fulfill. 3 If so poor a worm as I May to Thy great glory live, All my actions sanctify, All my words and thoughts receive; Claim me for Thy service, claim All I have, and all I am. 4 Take my soul and body’s powers, Take my memory, mind, and will, All my goods, and all my hours, All I know, and all I feel, All I think, and speak, and do; Take my heart—but make it new. 5 Now, O God, Thine own I am, Now I give Thee back Thine own; Freedom, friends, and health, and fame Consecrate to Thee alone; Thine I live, thrice happy I, Happier still, for Thine I die. 6 Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host Let Thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to Thee be given Glorious Lord of earth and Heaven.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 427 hymnals 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 Jesus 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 comforts us in sadness, And He shares in all our gladness. 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 heaven above, And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Amen. Topics: Sacraments Baptism; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY

Sing, My Tongue, the Song of Triumph

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c.530-609 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the song of triumph, Tell the story far and wide; Tell of dread and final battle, Sing of Savior crucified; How upon the cross a victim Vanquishing in death he died. 2 He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar and spear and reed; From that holy body broken Blood and water forth proceed: Earth and stars and sky and ocean By that flood from stain are freed. 3 Faithful Cross, above all other, One and only noble tree, None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit your peer may be; Sweet the wood and sweet the iron And your load, most sweet is he. 4 Bend your boughs, O Tree of glory! All your rigid branches, bend! For a while the ancient temper That your birth bestowed, suspend; And the King of earth and heaven Gently on your bosom tend.

Jesus, Blessèd Lord and Savior

Author: G. de Mattos Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, blessèd Lord and Savior, Bowed in death on Calv’ry’s tree, Darkest hour of bitter judgment, Borne to set Thy people free; Sweet our portion, sweet our portion, As we thus remember Thee. 2. From the highest heights of glory, To the cross of deepest shame, Thus accomplishing redemption, Jesus in His pity came; Precious Savior, precious Savior, We adore Thy matchless name. 3. From the darkness and the distance, From the crushing load of sin, Blessèd Savior, Thou hast freed us, By Thy blood hast made us clean; In Thy beauty, in Thy beauty, Now Thy ransomed ones are seen. 4. Thus assured of Thine acceptance We to God may now draw near; In the holiest may worship; Perfect love hath cast out fear; To the Father, to the Father, We in Christ are near and dear.
