A Virgin Did Come

Author: S. C. Clarke (Samuel Childs Clarke?) Hymnal: CYBER #7075 First Line: A virgin did come from lowliest home Refrain First Line: O how wondrous the love and the deep humility Lyrics: 1. A virgin did come from lowliest home, And shelter she fain in a manger would find; For full was the inn, and no room was within, Save where to the stalls the mute oxen they bind. Refrain O how wondrous the love and the deep humility Of Him who was laid in the manger for me. 2. That Babe was a king, mystic gifts, lo, they bring, Sure tokens they were of some great one to be; To Bethlehem led, Eastern sages have sped From afar The desire of all nations to see. [Refrain] 3. Accomplished their hope, their treasures they ope— Gold, frankincense, myrrh, to that Infant they brought, Gifts costly and rare, full of meaning they were, Though not yet unveiled were the great truths they taught. [Refrain] 4. No tokens of state round that royal Babe wait, Seeming least, and yet greatest, of monarchs was He; But in reverence low, princely Magi did bow, As though they divined all His true dignity.

A Virgin Pure, Both Meek and Mild

Consider what the spotless Lamb Did undergo for sinful man, Did undergo for sinful man, Nailed to the cross to pain and die, While wicked spies stood gazing by!

From Satan’s power redeeming all, When we were lost by Adam’s fall? 4. Then let us praise the God of Heaven, Who unto us His Son hath giv’n, Who unto us His Son hath giv’n, Hath sent Him down with us to dwell Our Jesus our Emmanuel, Hath sent Him down with us to dwell Our Jesus our Emmanuel.

The rough path and crooked be made smooth and even, For, Sion, your king, your Redeemer, is nigh. 3 The beams of salvation His progress illume, The lone, dreary wilderness sings of her God; The rose and the myrtle will suddenly bloom, The olive of peace spread its branches abroa Languages: English Tune Title: GORDON

Sometime (Hewitt)

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Hymnal: CYBER #6200 First Line: A voice is heard in the dewy dawn Refrain First Line: Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate Lyrics: 1. A voice is heard in the dewy dawn, And the call is sweet and low; Come now, my child to the Shepherd’s fold, Where the living waters flow; But the gay heart answers in careless tones, As light as the morning chime, Let me live for the world just a little while, I will come to God—sometime! Refrain Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate God may answer your sometime, too late! too late! Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate God may answer your sometime, too late! too late! 2. The day is nearing the noontide glow, And the voice is heard again, It calls the soul to a nobler life, ’Tis a patient, kind refrain; Enter now the Master’s broad harvest field, In the strength of your early prime, Come and bring to His work service good and true, Still the same reply—sometime! [Refrain] 3. The feet are treading the western slope, And the air is growing chill; O can it be God is waiting yet, That His voice is pleading still? That He’ll flood with beauty the sunset sky, Bright rays from the Golden Clime? But the sinner long hardened, has turned away, With the fatal word—sometime! [Refrain] 4. O soul, take heed, ere the shadows fall, And the day of grace be past, For how shall a trembling sinner stand By the gates of death at last? Hear the Savior’s call; at the Cross lay down Thy burden of guilt and crime, And the angels shall sing thee a sweeter song Than the sad refrain Sometime.
