Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: Emily E. S. Elliot Meter: Irregular Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ Christ's Birth and Baptism First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown, when thou camest to earth for me; but in Bethlehem's home there was found no room for thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, proclaiming thy royal degree; but in lowly birth didst thou come to earth, and in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest in the shade of the forest tree; but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, in the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word that should set thy people free; but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, they bore thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 5 When heav'ns arches shall ring and its choir shall sing, at thy coming to victory, let thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, there is room at my side for thee!" And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me. Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Used With Tune: MARGARET

Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God's self-offering our human sinfulness takes on in the birth-waters of the Jordan as Jesus is baptized by John. Hear how the voice from heaven thunders, "Lo, this is my beloved Son." See how in dovelike form the Spirit descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favour Jesus goes to the wilderness, there to endure a time of testing preparing him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit baptized into Christ's ministry, are often led to paths of service through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage to live the faith our lips declare; bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from every false allegiance, that we may trust in Christ alone: raise up in us a chosen people transformed by love to be your own. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU
