Glory To God! We Were In Bitter Need

Author: A. M. M. Hymnal: CYBER #10691 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Person Name: A. M. M. Lyrics: 1 Glory to God! We were in bitter need, We sat in darkness long and weary days; But now our light is come, the Light indeed, And we may rise and shine with kindred rays; The God-Man comes down so we can now ascend, The Guiltless drinks guilt’s woes to work their end. 2 O mystic gift of God Omnipotent! O happiness for man, most deep, most dear! This is no theme for subtle argument, No lore of earth hath lot or portion here; That the Great God should so abasèd be— We speak, we cannot search, the mystery. 3 The dew of God is on the parchèd fleece, The sapless rod blooms with immortal flowers, The virgin bears a Son, our utter peace, Nor knows pollution in her travail’s hours; We cannot speak that birth, but we confess Most great the mystery of godliness. 4 Though it may chance the shipmen toil and row, With countless wrecks far strewn on either hand, They see a star above the waters glow, There is an ark which sights the pleasant land; There is a door of life set wide, which none Can open to lorn souls, can shut, save One. 5 O not with observation came He then Into our world, but soon the day shall be When with great glory He shall come again With all His saints, and every eye shall see Him whom they piercèd. When we meet Thee thus Let there be mercy, O our God, on us. Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

Be Kind to Thy Father

Author: Alonzo Judson Abbey Hymnal: CYBER #460 Person Name: Alonzo Judson Abbey First Line: Be kind to thy father, for when thou wast young Lyrics: 1. Be kind to thy father, for when thou wast young, Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, And joined in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy father, for now he is old, His locks intermingled with gray, His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold: Thy father is passing away. 2. Be kind to thy mother, for lo! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen; Oh! well may’st thou cherish and comfort her now For loving and kind she has been. Remember thy mother, for thee will she pray As long as God giveth her breath; With accents of kindness, then cheer her lone way, E’en to the dark valley of death. 3. Be kind to thy brother; his heart will have dearth If the smiles of thy joy be withdrawn; The flowers of feeling will fade at the birth, If love and affection be gone; Be kind to thy brother, wherever you are; The love of a brother shall be An ornament purer and richer by far Than pearls from the depths of the sea. 4. Be kind to thy sister; not many may know The depth of true sisterly love; The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below The surface that sparkles above. Thy kindness shall bring to thee many sweet hours, And blessings thy pathway shall crown; Affection shall weave thee a garland of flowers More precious than wealth or renown.

I Love The Holy Son Of God

Author: Asa Abel Hymnal: CYBER #10565 Meter: 8.8.8.7 Person Name: Asa Abel Lyrics: 1 I love the holy Son of God, Who once this vale of sorrow trod, Who bore my sins, a dreadful load, Up Calvary’s gloomy mountain. 2 There on the cross the Savior hung, The sport of many an impious tongue, While pain extreme His nature wrung, And flowed life’s crimson fountain. 3 The sun would not behold the scene, But round Him threw night’s sable screen; Nature was robed in mourning mien, And sighed when Jesus suffered. 4 But ah! His persecutors stood, Reviling Christ, the Son of God, Unmoved to see His gushing blood, And shocking insults offered. 5 O! why did not His fury burn, And floods of vengeance on them turn? Amazing! See, His bowels yearn In soft compassion on them. 6 No fury kindles in His eyes, They beam with love—and when He dies, "Father, forgive," the sufferer cries, "They know not!"—O forgive them. 7 How ardent ought my love to be To Him who’s done so much for me; My constant service, faithful, free— And all my powers employing. 8 I should my cross with pleasure bear, And place my all of glorying there, In His reproach most gladly share, In tribulation joying. 9 And never shall it be concealed, He hath to me His love revealed, Of all my sins a pardon sealed— I feel His blessèd favor. 10 In Him I do and will rejoice; I’ll praise Him with a cheerful voice, Until the theme my tongue employs In Heaven above, forever.

Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon’s strand. 7. Low before Him with our praises we fall, Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; Of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son, Through whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One.

Gabriel, from the Heaven Descending

Author: Adam of St. Victor; John M. Neale Hymnal: CYBER #1679 Meter: 8.8.8.7 Person Name: Adam of St. Victor Lyrics: 1. Gabriel, from the Heaven descending, On the faithful Word attending, Is in holy converse blending With the virgin full of grace: 2. That good word and sweet he plighteth In the bosom where it lighteth, And for Eva Ave writeth, Changing Eva’s name and race. 3. At the promise that he sendeth God the Incarnate Word descendeth; Yet no carnal touch offendeth Her, the undefilèd one. 4. She, without a father, beareth, She no bridal union shareth, And a painless birth declareth That she bare the Royal Son. 5. Tale that wondering search entices! But believe—and that suffices; It is not for man’s devices Here to pry with gaze unmeet: 6. High the sign, its place assuming In the bush, the unconsuming: Mortal, veil thine eyes presuming, Loose thy shoes from off thy feet. 7. As the rod, by wondrous power, Moistened not by dew or shower, Bare the almond and the flower, Thus He came, the virgin’s fruit: 8. Hail the Fruit, O world, with gladness! Fruit of joy and not of sadness: Adam had not lapsed to madness Had he tasted of its shoot. 9. Jesus, kind above all other, Gentle Child of gentle mother, In the stable born our Brother, Whom the angelic hosts adore: 10. He, once cradled in a manger, Heal our sin and calm our danger; For our life, to this world stranger, Is in peril evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEM PASTORES
