This Little Babe So Few Days Old
Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-95 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #717 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Tune Title: DAS NEUGEBORNE KINDELEIN Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old
Is come to rifle Satan's fold;
All hell doth at his presence quake,
Though he himself for cold do shake;
For in this weak unarmed wise
The gates of hell he will surprise.
2 With tears he fights and wins the field
His naked breast stands for a shield;
His battering shot are babish cries,
His arrows looks of weeping eyes,
His martial ensigns Cold and Need,
And feeble Flesh his warrior's steed.
3 His camp is pitchèd in a stall,
His bulwark but a broken wall;
The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes;
Of shepherds he his muster makes;
And thus, as sure his foe to wound,
The angels' trumps alarum sound.
4 My soul, with Christ join thou in fight;
Stick to His tents that he hath pight.*
Within his crib is surest ward;
This little Babe will be thy Guard.
If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy,
Then flit not from this heavenly Boy.

O Wondrous Type! O Vision Fair
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #723 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair
Of glory that the Church may share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With Moses and Elijah nigh
The incarnate Lord holds converse high;
And from the cloud the Holy One
Bears record to the only Son.
3 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
4 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
5 O Father, with the eternal Son,
And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace
To see thy glory face to face. Amen.

O Wondrous Type! O Vision Fair
O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1820-85; Thomas à Kempis, 1380-1471 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #750 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high,
How passing thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And he himself to this world came.
3 Nor willed he only to appear,
His pleasure was to tarry here;
And God and Man with man would be
The space of thirty years and three.
4 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp he knew,
For us the Tempter overthrew.
5 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
For us his daily works he wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not himself, but us.
6 For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed;
He bore the shameful cross and death,
For us he gave his dying breath.
7 For us he rose from death again,
For us he went on high to reign;
For us he sent his Spirit here,
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
8 In this great triumph of our King
To God on high all praise we bring,
To him all thanks and laud give we,
The ever-blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: The Trinity The Redeemer
O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; Aurelius Prudentius, 348-c. 413; Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #721 (1969) Tune Title: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the Source, the Ending, he,
Of the things that are that have been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth forever blesse'd
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore.
3 O ye heights of heaven, adore him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before him
And extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.
4 Christ, to thee, with God the Father
And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphanytide
Of the Father's Love Begotten
Hope of the World
Author: Georgia Harkness, 1891- Hymnal: WSCW1969 #749 (1969) Tune Title: DONNE SECOURS First Line: Hope of the world, thou Christ of great compassion Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, thou Christ of great compassion,
Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent.
Save us, thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.
2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven,
Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.
3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways,
Showing to wandering souls the path of light,
Walk thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from thee to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by thy cross didst save us
From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt,
We render back the love thy mercy gave us;
Take thou our lives and use them as thou wilt.
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
Who by this sign didst conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to thy Gospel glorious:
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign! Topics: The Trinity The Redeemer

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90; Bianco da Siena, d. 1434 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #755 (1969) Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
Seek thou this soul of mine,
And visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn
Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let thy glorious light
Shine ever on my sight
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
Mine outward vesture be
And lowliness become mine inner clothing--
True lowliness of heart
Which takes the humbler part
And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong
With which the soul will long
Shall far outpass the power of human telling;
For none can guess its grace
Till he become the place
Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Topics: The Trinity The Holy Spirit
Come Down, O Love Divine
