Glory Be to God on High
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Glory be to God on high,
And peace on earth descend;
Now God comes down, He bows the sky,
And shows Himself our friend!
God the invisible appears,
God the blest, the great I AM,
He sojourns in this vale of tears,
And Jesus is His name.
2. Him by the angels all adored,
Their maker and their king;
Lo, tidings of their humbled Lord
They now to mortals bring;
Emptied of His majesty,
Of His dazzling glories shorn,
Our being’s Source begins to be,
And God Himself is born!
3. See the eternal Son of God
A mortal Son of Man,
Now dwelling in an earthly clod
Whom Heaven cannot contain!
Stand amazed, ye heavens, look at this!
See the Lord of earth and skies
Low humbled to the dust He is,
And in a manger lies!
4. So do the sons of men rejoice
The Prince of Peace proclaim,
With Heaven’s host lift up our voice,
And shout Immanuel’s name;
Our knees and hearts to Him we bow;
Of our flesh, and of our bone,
See—Jesus is our brother now,
And God is all our own! Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord (London: William Strahan, 1745), number 4, alt.

The Lord! How Tender Is His Love
Author: Erasmus Darwin Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord! how tender is His love,
His justice how august;
Hence all her fears my soul derives,
There anchors all her trust.
He showers the manna from above,
To feed the barren waste;
Or points with death the fiery hail,
And famine waits the blast.
2 Crowns, realms, and worlds, His wrath incensed,
Are dust beneath His tread:
He blights the fair, unplumes the proud,
And shakes the learnèd head.
He bids distress forget to groan,
The sick from anguish cease,
In dungeons spreads His healing wing,
And softly whispers peace.
3 His vengeance rides the rushing wind,
Or tips the bolt with flame;
His goodness breathes in every breeze,
And warms in every beam.
Lord! grant that still with grateful heart
My years resigned may run;
’Tis Thine to give, or to resume,
And may Thy will be done! Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns and Psalms for Public and Private Worship by Andrew Kippes et al. (London: 1795)

The LORD is King, Enthroned in Might
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The LORD is king, enthroned in might
on wings of cherubim;
he reigns in holiness and light,
bow down to worship him!
Beyond all majesty and praise his holy name confess:
the king of everlasting days,
who rules in righteousness.
2 Of old to priests and prophets known
with trembling, fear and awe,
he gave his people, set in stone,
his statutes and his law.
By those who called upon his name
the voice of God was heard,
his presence shown in cloud and flame
when they obeyed his word.
3 O magnify the God of grace
who hears his people's cry,
and come with songs before his face,
exalt his name on high!
To see at last, by grace restored
from sin and all its stains,
the holy mountain of the Lord
where God in glory reigns. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Pillar of Cloud/Pillar of Fire; God as King; Law of God; Praise of God Scripture: Psalm 99 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
