Hail to the Lord who comes

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord who comes, Comes to His temple gate; Not with His angel host, Not in His kingly state; No shouts proclaim Him nigh, No crowds His coming wait; 2 But, borne upon the throne Of Mary's gentle breast, Watched by her duteous love, In her fond arms at rest: Thus to His Father's house He comes, the heavenly Guest. 3 Hail to the great First-born Whose ransom price they pay! The Son, before all worlds; The Child of man, to-day; That He might ransom us Who still in bondage lay. 4 O Light of all the earth, Thy children wait for Thee! Come to Thy temples here, That we, from sin set free, Before Thy Father's face May all presented be! Amen.

Amen. Topics: Home and Personal Use; Aspiration Used With Tune: [Oh, for a closer walk with God]

Thy life was given for me

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy life was given for me, Thy precious blood was shed; That I might ransomed be, And quickened from the dead. Thy life was given for me: What have I given for Thee? 2 Long years were spent for me In weariness and woe, That through eternity Thy glory I might know. Long years were spent for me: Have I spent one for Thee? 3 Thy Father's home of light, Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. Yea, all was left for me: Have I left aught for Thee? 4 And Thou hast brought to me, Down from Thy home above, Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love. Great gifts Thou broughtest me: What have I brought to Thee? 5 O let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent, World-fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent! Thou gavest Thyself for me: I give myself for Thee. Topics: The Church Year Ninth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Ninth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: [Thy life was given for me]
