The Three Kings of Cologne

Author: Eugene Field, 1850-1895 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: From out Cologne there came three kings Lyrics: 1. From out Cologne there came three kings To worship Jesus Christ, their King. To Him they sought, fine herbs they brought, And many a beauteous golden thing; They brought their gifts to Bethlehem town, And in that manger set them down. 2. Then spake the first king, and he said: O Child, most heavenly, bright, and fair! I bring this crown to Bethlehem town For Thee, and only Thee, to wear; So give a heavenly crown to me When I shall come at last to Thee! 3. The second, then. I bring Thee here This royal robe, O Child! he cried; Of silk ’tis spun, and such an one There is not in the world beside; So in the day of doom requite Me with a heavenly robe of white! 4. The third king gave his gift, and quoth: Spikenard and myrrh to Thee I bring, And with these twain would I most fain Anoint the body of my King; So may their incense sometime rise To plead for me in yonder skies! 5. Thus spake the three kings of Cologne, That gave their gifts, and went their way; And now kneel I in prayer hard by The cradle of the Child today; Nor crown, nor robe, nor spice I bring As offering unto Christ, my King. 6. Yet have I brought a gift the Child May not despise, however small; For here I lay my heart today, And it is full of love to all. Take Thou the poor but loyal thing, My only tribute, Christ, my King!

Author: Mrs. Sarah F. Adams Appears in 33 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God sendeth sun, He sendeth shower; Alike they’re needful for the flower, And joys and tears alike are sent To give the soul fit nournishment: As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done. 2 Can loving children e’er reprove, With murmurs, those they trust and love? Creator! I would ever be A trusting, loving child to Thee: As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done. 3 O ne’er will I at life repine; Enough that Thou hast made it mine; When falls the shadow cold of death, I yet will sing with prating breath, As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.

O God, Thy Righteousness We Own

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thy righteousness we own, Laid by Thy threatening judgments low, Beneath a nation’s load we groan, And more than share the common woe, The common woe, so long delayed Which bursts in thunder on our head. 2 Warned by Thy Spirit’s gracious call We looked for this vindictive day; And still we at Thy footstool fall, And still we weep, and watch, and pray: Hear, Jesu, hear our mournful prayer, And spare, the sinful nation spare. 3 Why should they still be stricken, Lord, When all Thy strokes are spent in vain? They will not see the invading sword, But dare Thy lifted arm again, And deep revolting more and more, Defy Thine anger’s utmost power. 4 Still they provoke Thy glorious eyes, And scorn Thy outstretched arm to fear, Thy gracious calls they still despise, And vex Thy faithful servants here, And hunt to death the righteous soul, And make their guilty measure full. 5 Though twice ten thousand souls are fled With pain to their eternal home, The rest disdain Thy wrath to dread, And eager for their instant doom, With pharaoh’s rage pursue Thy sheep, And rush into the hellish deep. 6 Yet for the honor of Thy love The people of Thy wrath forbear, Their sin and punishment remove, The fury and the waste of war; Pluck from the fire, almighty God, And quench the brands in Jesus’ blood!

O might I gain the victor’s right, The robe of pure unspotted white, And wear the saints’ celestial dress, The Lord, my glorious righteousness. 2 Soon as I win the vast reward, The joy for conquerors prepared, Wrote in the volume of the Lamb Thou never wilt blot out my name, But me before Thy Father own, And rank with angels round Thy throne.
