Be Gracious unto Me, O God
The Ballad of the Cross
Author: Theodosia Garrison, 1874-1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Melchior, Gaspar, Balthazar Lyrics: 1. Melchior, Gaspar, Balthazar,
Great gifts they bore and meet;
White linen for His body fair
And purple for His feet;
And golden things—the joy of kings—
And myrrh to breathe Him sweet.
2. It was the shepherd Terish spake,
Oh, poor the gift I bring—
A little cross of broken twigs,
A hind’s gift to a king—
Yet, haply, He may smile to see
And know my offering.
3. And it was Mary held her Son
Full softly to her breast,
Great gifts and sweet are at Thy feet
And wonders king-possessed;
O little Son, take Thou the one
That pleasures Thee the best.
4. It was the Christ-Child in her arms
Who turned from gaud and gold,
Who turned from wondrous gifts and great,
From purple woof and fold,
And to His breast the cross He pressed
That scarce His hands could hold.
5. ’Twas king and shepherd went their way—
Great wonder tore their bliss;
’Twas Mary clasped her little Son
Close, close to feel her kiss,
And in His hold the cross lay cold
Between her heart and His! Used With Tune: MORNING SONG

The Lord My Shepherd Guards Me Well
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd guards me well,
and all my wants are fed:
amid green pastures made to lie,
beside still waters led.
My careworn soul grows strong and whole
when God's true path I tread.
2 Though I should walk in darkest ways
through valleys like the grave,
no evil shall I ever fear;
your presence makes me brave.
On my behalf your rod and staff
assure me you will save.
3 For me a table has been spread
where all my foes can see;
you bathe my head with fragrant oil
to soothe and honor me.
My heart and cup are both filled up
with joyful ecstasy.
4 Your steadfast love will follow me
to shield me all my days
and bring me to your holy house,
redeemed from error's ways,
my whole life long to join the song
of those who sing God's praise. Topics: Jesus Christ Majesty Scripture: John 14:16 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES' AIR

the just shall enter there.
My Savior, I will give thee thanks,
O thou that hearest prayer;
my Savior, I will give thee thanks,
O thou that hearest prayer.

triumphantly we sing;
send now prosperity, O LORD;

send now prosperity, O LORD;
O LORD, salvation bring.

that cometh in God's name.
The blessing of our Savior's house
upon you we proclaim;
the blessing of our Savior's house
upon you we proclaim.

the LORD our God has made;
now be the precious sacrifice
upon his altar laid;
now be the precious sacrifice
upon his altar laid.
7 O LORD, my God, I praise thy name,
all other names above;
O give him thanks, for he is good,
and boundless is his love;
O give him thanks, for he is good,
and boundless is his love.
8 O praise the LORD, for he is good;
let all in heav'n above
and all the saints on earth proclaim
his everlasting love;
and all the saints on earth proclaim
his everlasting love. Topics: Christ As King; Christ Resurrection of; Christ Triumphal Entry of; Church Christ's Presence in; God Wisdom of Scripture: Psalm 118:19-29 Used With Tune: ZERAH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt.
