Now are the days fulfilled, God’s Son is manifested, Now His great majesty In human flesh is vested. Behold the mighty God, By whom all wrath is stilled, The woman’s promised Seed— Now are the days fulfilled. 2. Now are the days fulfilled, Lo, Jacob’s Star is shining; The gloomy night has fled Wherein the world lay pining. Now, Israel, look on Him Who long thy heart hath thrilled; Hear Zion’s watchmen cry: Now are the days fulfilled. 3. Now are the days fulfilled, The child of God rejoices; No bondage of the Law, No curses that it voices, Can fill our hearts with fear; On Christ our hope we build. Behold the Prince of Peace— Now are the days fulfilled. Used With Tune: WAS FRAG' ICH NACH DER WELT

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on, my person and off’ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; My Savior’s obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2. The work which His goodness began, the arm of His strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, Can make Him His purpose forgo, or sever my soul from His love. 3. My name from the palms of His hands eternity will not erase; Impressed on His heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv’n; More happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in Heav’n. Used With Tune: LLANGRISTIOLUS Text Sources: Gospel Magazine, 1771

They plant their snares to catch my feet, And nets of mischief spread; Plunge the destroyers in the pit That their own hands have made. 4. Let fogs and darkness hide their way, And slippery be their ground; Thy wrath shall make their lives a prey, And all their rage confound. 5. They fly like chaff before the wind, Before Thine angry breath; The angel of the Lord behind Pursues them down to death. 6. They love the road that leads to hell; Then let the rebels die, Whose malice is implacable Against the Lord on high. 7.

Then I will raise my tuneful voice, To make Thy wonders known; In their salvation I’ll rejoice, And bless Thee for my own. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Again The Christmas Board Is Spread

Author: John W. Chadwick Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Again the Christmas board is spread, Again we gather round; And thanks too deep for words go up To God without a sound. 2 Thanks for the common blessings first, The commonest of all, The daily bread, the manna sweet, That never fails to fall. 3 The daily bread, the daily joy, The greeting morn and eve, The kiss of love, the kiss of peace, Which daily we receive. 4 And if with all the joy He sends Some grief is also there, We praise Him still that He doth give The patience that can bear. 5 Can bear, and through the bearing find Within the hardest lot, Some hidden grace which none may know Save those who have it got. 6 But shall this merry time go past, And thanks remain unsped For Him who said so long ago, I am the living Bread? 7 For Him, star-lit by Mary’s smile, Whom simple shepherds found, And wise men from the brooding East, Where oxen stood around? 8 No wonder that they worshipped Him! He was a baby sweet; They had been foolish not to kneel And kiss His rosy feet. 9 But little recked they as He lay In such a lowly place, That He should be the Man of men, The captain of His race. 10 We differ when we speak of Him, Our words are not the same, But in our hearts there burns for aye, One undivided flame. 11 Our words must differ, but our hearts Still yield Him reverence due; We love in spite of all our creeds; Our love at least is true. 12 And if, above the starry skies, He knows of what is here, He knows there is a place for Him At all our Christmas cheer.
