Beside the Manger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #8 (1867) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Now at the manger here I stand Lyrics: Now at the manger here I stand, My Jesus, Life from Heaven! I stand, and bring Thee in my hand What Thou to me hast given. Take it, it is my mind and wit, Heart, soul, and all I have, take it, And deign to let it please Thee! With Thy great love beyond compare, My soul Thou fillest ever, Thy glance so sweet, Thine image fair, My heart forgetteth never. How otherwise e’er could it be, How could I ever banish Thee, From my heart’s throne, O Saviour! Ere ever I began to be, Thou hadst for me appearèd, And as Thine own hadst chosen me Ere Thee I knew or fearèd. Before I by Thy hand was made, Thou hadst the plan in order laid, How Thou Thyself shouldst give me. I lay still in death’s deepest night, Till Thou, my Sun, arising, Didst bring joy, pleasure, life, and light, My waken’d soul surprising. O Sun! who dost so graciously Faith’s goodly light to dawn in me Aye cause; Thy beams how beauteous! With rapture do I gaze on Thee, Ne’er can enough adore Thee, Pow’r more to do is not in me, I’ll praise and bow before Thee. Oh! that my mind were an abyss, My soul a sea, wide, bottomless, That so I might embrace Thee. Oh! let me kiss that mouth of Thine, My Jesus, Saviour gracious! Thy mouth that e’en the sweetest wine, And milk and honey precious, In pow’r and virtue doth excel, Of comfort, strength, and sap ’tis full, And inwardly refreshes. When oft my heart within doth cry, No comfort can discover, It calls to me, Thy friend am I, Thine ev’ry sin I cover; My flesh and bone, why mournest thou? Let thy heart be of good cheer now, Thy debt, I have discharg’d it. Who is the Master, where is he, Who in perfection sketcheth The hands this infant dear to me Now smilingly outstretcheth? The snow is clear, and milk is white, But both lose all their value quite Before these hands so beauteous. Oh! wisdom fails me utterly For honouring and praising The eyes this infant fixedly To mine is ever raising. The fall moon, it is clear and fair, The golden stars most beauteous are, But these eyes far excel them. Oh! that a star so passing fair Should in a crib be holden! Who mighty nobles’ children are Should lie in cradles golden! Ah! hay and straw too wretched are, Silk, velvet, purple better far, Were for Thee, Child! to lie on. Remove the straw, remove the hay, From where the child reposes, And flow’rs I’ll bring that lie He may On violets and roses. With tulips, pinks, and rosemary, From goodly gardens pluck’d by me, I’ll from above bestrew Him. And snow-white lilies here and there His side shall be thrown over; When closed His eyes with slumber are, Them shall they softly cover. But Thou mayest love the grass so dry, My Child! more than the things that I Have spoken or have thought of. Not for the world’s pride dost Thou care, Nor joys the flesh doth offer; In human form Thou liest there, For us to do and suffer, Seek’st joy and comfort for my soul, While waves of trouble o’er Thee roll; I never will Thee hinder. One thing I hope Thou’lt grant to me, My Saviour! ne’er deny me, That I may evermore have Thee Within, and on, and by me. And let my heart Thy cradle be, Come, come and lie Thou down in me, With all Thy joys and treasures! ’Tis true, that I should think how poor And mean my entertaining, Than dust and ashes I’m no more, Thou mad’st, art all-sustaining, Yet Thou’rt a guest belov’d and priz’d, For never yet hast Thou despis’d Him who delights to see Thee!

MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?

Author: Hallgrim Petursson; Charles Venn Pilcher Hymnal: Passion-Hymns of Iceland, The #09 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Forsaken of God on Calvary Lyrics: Forsaken of God on Calvary The Saviour Christ hung dying, That I might ne'er forsaken be, While on His death relying: Yea, for the sake of His lone cry, With ready ear the Lord Most High Will aye regard my crying. When from earth's light I pass away, Sight, hearing, sense declining, Father, recall Thy Son's dismay, For Thy felt presence pining; And by that cry from Calvary's tree Thy countenance uplift on me, With gracious welcome shining.

O LORD, Look Down from Heaven

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Christian Worship #12A (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: O LORD, look down from heav'n, behold Lyrics: 1 O LORD, look down from heav'n, behold, and let your pity waken; how few are we within your fold, your saints by all forsaken. True faith seems quenched on ev'ry hand, your Word is not allowed to stand; dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 O God, root out all heresy, and of false teachers rid us who proudly say, "Now where is he who shall our speech forbid us? By right or might we shall prevail, what we determine cannot fail; we want no lord and master!" 3 Therefore said God, "I must arise, the poor my help are needing; to me ascend my people's cries, and I have heard their pleading. For them my saving Word shall fight and fearlessly and sharply smite, the poor with might defending." 4 Defend your truth, O God, and stay this evil generation, and from the error of its way keep your own congregation. The wicked ev'rywhere abound and would your little flock confound, but you are our salvation!

As Thou hast promised, be Thou nigh, And hear us as we testify, "Thou art the Christ, our Saviour." 2 The herald in the wilderness Prepares the way before Thee; With him let us Thy name confess, With him let us adore Thee. Grant that we hearken to his cry, "Repent, the kingdom draweth nigh," And seek Thee, Christ our Saviour. 3 Thou art indeed God’s holy Son, Beloved of Him so dearly, The mighty works that Thou hast done Reveal Thy Godhead clearly: The blind can see, the sick are healed, The lips once dumb are now unsealed, All power is Thine, dear Jesus! 4 Thou art our Peace, our Righteousness, The Rock of our salvation. Clothed in Thy garb of holiness, We fear no condemnation. Thy blood has cleansed away our sin, Through Thee eternal life we win, O crucified Redeemer! Amen.
