Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 474 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise, triumph o'er the shade of night; Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by Thee; joyless is the day's return, till Thy mercy's beams I see, till they inward light impart, glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 3 Visit then this soul of mine, pierce the gloom of sin and grief; fill me, radiancy divine, scatter all my unbelief; more and more Thyself display, shining to the perfect day.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; by His Son God now has spoken: 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, was there ever grief like His? Friends thro' fear His cause disowning, foes insulting His distress; many hands were raised to wound Him, none would interpose to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced Him was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great here may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation; here the refuge of the lost; Christ, the Rock of our salvation, His the Name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built.

Jesus, the Name High Over All

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 299 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Name high over all, in hell or earth or sky; angels and mortals prostrate fall, and devils fear and fly. Jesus, the Name to sinners dear, the Name to sinners giv'n; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heav'n. 2 O that the world might taste and see the riches of His grace! The arms of love that compass me would all the world embrace. Thee I shall constantly proclaim, though earth and hell oppose; bold to confess Thy glorious Name before a world of foes. 3 His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, "Behold the Lamb!" Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp His Name, preach Him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"

O Jesus, blessed Savior, who soon for us will come, redemption's work completed, our battle fought, and won. Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection and Exaltation Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above, and heav'n's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love. 3 In Thy truth Thou dost direct me by Thy Spirit through Thy Word; and Thy grace my need is meeting as I trust in Thee, my Lord.

Your people long to greet You, my Hope, my heart’s Delight! O, kindle, Lord most holy, Your lamp within my breast to do in spirit lowly all that may please You best. 2 Love caused Your incarnation; love brought You down to me. Your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. O, love beyond all telling, that led You to embrace in love, all love excelling, our lost and fallen race. 3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, who sit in deepest gloom, who mourn your joys departed and tremble at your doom. Despair not; He is near you, there, standing at the door, who best can help and cheer you and bids you weep no more. 4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, let not your soul distress; your guilt the Lord will pardon and cover by His grace. He comes, for men procuring the peace of sin forgiv'n, for all God's sons securing their heritage in heav'n. 5 He comes to judge the nations, a terror to His foes, a light of consolations and blessed hope to those who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, send forth Your beams most cheering and guide us safely home. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN
