Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 550 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:13 Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake, and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born: Songs of praise arose, when He Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away, Songs of praise shall crown that day; God will make new heavens, new earth, Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 94 And can man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No;--the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. Topics: Christ Birth of; Glory to God in songs of praise

At the cross, her vigil keeping

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 144 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:34 Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, where he hung, the dying Lord; for her soul, of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing, pierced with anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking, such a cup of sorrow drinking, would not share her sorrows deep? 3 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; saw him then from judgment taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 4 Jesus, may her deep devotion stir in me the same emotion, fount of love, Redeemer kind, that my heart, fresh ardour gaining, and a purer love attaining, may with thee acceptance find.
