Angels We Have Heard on High
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter Chalmers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might:
thy justice, like mountains high soaring above;
thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life thou givest, to both great and small.
In all life thou livest, the true life of all.
We blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree,
then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee.
4 Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light.
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight.
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!

till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us,
only you work good within us.

light of light from God proceeding;
open lips and ears and heart,
help us by your Spirit's leading;.
hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises.

O Love, How Deep
Author: Thomas à Kempis, 1380-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-85 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world Himself He came.
3 For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us He prayed; for us He taught;
For us His daily works He wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not Himself but us.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us He gave His dying breath.
6 For us He rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore.

O Gladsome Light
Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
Author: Richard Massie, 1800-87; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
for our offences given;
but now at God’s right hand he stands
and brings us light from heaven:
let us then with joy adore
and thank our God for evermore,
and sing loud hallelujahs.
Hallelujah!
2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended;
the victory remained with life,
the reign of death was ended:
Stripped of power, no more it reigns,
an empty form alone remains:
death's sting is gone forever.
Hallelujah!
3 So let us keep the festival
our Lord himself invites us;
Christ is the Lamb, the joy of all,
the sun that warms and lights us;
through the glory of his grace
all darkness must today give place,
the night of sin is ended.
Hallelujah!
4 Then let us feast this holy day
on the true bread of heaven.
The word of grace has purged away
the old and wicked leaven.
Christ alone our souls can feed,
he is our food and drink indeed,
faith lives upon no other.
