I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship

Author: William Young Fullerton, 1857-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:39-40 Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship, should set his love upon the sons of men, or why, as Shepherd, he should seek the wanderers, to bring them back, they know not how or when. But this I know, that he was born of Mary when Bethl'em's manger was his only home, and that he lived at Nazareth and laboured, and so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come. 2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered, as with his peace he graced this place of tears, or how his heart upon the cross was broken, the crown of pain to three and thirty years. But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted and stays our sin and calms our lurking fear and lifts the burden from the heavy laden; for still the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here. 3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations, how he will claim his earthly heritage, how satisfy the needs and aspirations of east and west, of sinner and of sage. But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory, and he shall reap the harvest he has sown, and some glad day his sun will shine in splendour when he the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known. 4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship, when at his bidding every storm is stilled, or who can say how great the jubilation when every heart with love and joy is filled. But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture, and myriad myriad human voices sing, and earth to heav'n, and heav'n to earth, will answer, 'at last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!'

Hail to the Lord Who Comes

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:29-32 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord who comes, Comes to his temple gate; Not with his angel host, Not in his kingly state: No shouts proclaim him nigh, No crowds his coming wait: 2 But, borne upon the throne Of Mary's gentle breast, Watched by her duteous love, In her fond arms at rest, Thus to his Father's house He comes, the heavenly guest. 3 There Joseph at her side In rev'rent wonder stands; And, filled with holy joy, Old Simeon in his hands Takes up the promised child, The glory of all lands. 4 O Light of all the earth, To us come hastily, Come to your temples here, That we, from sin set free, Before your Father's face May all presented be!
