Thou bid'st us to seek Thee early

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #147 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Thou bid'st us seek Thee early, And we shall surely find; We come, O blessed Jesus, Our Saviour true and kind! We come in time of gladness, We come in hours of grief, With childhood's joys so transient, With childhood's sorrow brief. 2 We have not seen the glory Which Bethlehem's shepherds saw, Nor heard the midnight anthem They heard with wondering awe; In rapturous haste they sought Thee, The Christ so lowly born; We, too, would seek Thee early In life's rejoicing morn. 3 Lord, give us now Thy Spirit; Grant us Thy constant grace, Till, having sought Thee early, At length we see Thy face; See Thee in cloudless glory, The Lamb who once was slain; And join the host of ransomed Who follow in Thy train. Amen. Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: MCKAY

Come, praise your Lord and Saviour

Author: Bishop W. W. How Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #533 (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Lyrics: 1. Come, praise your Lord and Saviour In strains of holy mirth! Give thanks to Him, O children, Who lived a child on earth! He loved the little children And called them to His side; His loving arms embraced them, And for their sake He died. 2. O Jesus, we would praise Thee With songs of holy joy; For Thou on earth didst sojourn, A pure and spotless boy. Make us like Thee, obedient, Like Thee from sin-stains free, Like Thee in God's own temple, In lowly home, like Thee. 3. O Jesus, we too praise Thee, The lowly maiden's son: In Thee all gentlest graces Are gathered into one. Oh, give that best adornment That Christian maid can wear, The meek and quiet spirit, Which shone in Thee so fair! 4. O Lord, with voices lifted We sing our songs of praise; Be Thou the light and pattern Of all our childhood days; And lead us ever onward, That while we stay below, We may, like Thee, O Jesus, In grace and wisdom grow. Amen. Topics: For Children Languages: English Tune Title: [Come, praise your Lord and Saviour]
