Zion Is Glad This Glorious Morn

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Zion is glad this glorious morn: A babe in Bethlehem is born. See where He lies in manger low, Whose kingly reign no end shall know. The ox and ass that filled the stall, Knew that the babe was Lord of all. Out from the east the sages bring Their treasures for an offering. They humbly seek the lowly place, And worship there the King of grace: The Son of God, who made the earth, A virgin mother gave Him birth. No poison from the serpent stains The human blood that fills His veins; And though our flesh He meekly wears, No mark of sin His nature bears; That He might man to God restore, And give the grace that once he wore. Come, while our hearts are full of mirth, And bless the Lord of lowly birth. Last verse, which can be used with tunes of a different meter: The Holy Trinity we’ll praise, And give our thanks to God always. Used With Tune: TRURO Text Sources: From a Benedictine processional, early 14th Century, formerly belonging to the monastery of St. Georg at Hradisch (now Uherské Hradiště, Czechia); Tr.: Hymns of the Early Church (London: Morgan & Scott, 1913)

Zion Mourns in Fear and Anguish

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Zion mourns in fear and anguish, Zion, city of our God. Ah, she says, “how sore I languish, Bowed beneath the chastening rod! For my God forsook me quite And forgot my sorry plight Mid these troubles now distressing, Countless woes my soul oppressing. 2. Once, she mourns, He promised plainly That His help should e’er be near; Yet I now must seek Him vainly In my days of woe and fear. Will His anger never cease? Will He not renew His peace? Will He not show forth compassion And again forgive transgression? 3. Zion, surely I do love thee, Thus to her the Savior saith, “Tho’ with many woes I prove thee And thy soul is sad to death. For My troth is pledged to thee; Zion, thou art dear to Me. Deep within My heart I’ve set thee, That I never can forget thee. 4. “Let not Satan make thee craven; He can threaten but not harm. On My hands thy name is graven, And thy shield is My strong arm. How, then, could it ever be I should not remember thee, Fail to build thy walls, My city, And look down on thee with pity? 5. Ever shall Mine eyes behold thee; On My bosom thou art laid. Ever shall My love enfold thee; Never shalt thou lack Mine aid. Neither Satan, war, nor stress Then shall mar thy happiness: With this blessèd consolation Be thou firm in tribulation.

Lo, this angels’ food descending Heavenly love is hither sending, Hungry lips on earth to feed: So the paschal lamb was given, So the manna came from Heaven, Isaac was His type indeed. 6.
