From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 4:1-7 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let every heart awake and sing
the holy child whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold! The world's creator wears
the form and fashion of a slave;
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creatures all to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
became, in ways beyond all thought,
the chosen vessel of his grace.
4 Assenting to the angel's word,
she chose what God the Spirit willed,
and suddenly the promised Lord
that pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
he lay within the manger bed,
and he whose bounty feeds us all
at Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
sang praise above the silent field,
to shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great Shepherd, was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessèd morn
to God, the source of all, is due;
all praise to you, O Virgin-born,
all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.

adore and laud and magnify,
whose might they own, whose praise they tell,
in Mary's body deigned to dwell.
2 O Mother blest, the chosen shrine
wherein the Architect divine,
whose hand contains the earth and sky,
vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie:
3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
blest in the work the Spirit wrought;
most blest, to bring to human birth
the long-desired of all the earth.
4 O Lord, the Virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Ghost for evermore. Topics: Blessed Virgin Mary Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

That with Him in heav'ns fair homes
We may reign in gladness.
3 We are rich, for He was poor;
Is not this a wonder?
Therefore praise God evermore
Here on earth and yonder.

Jehovah, Let Me Now Adore Thee
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Bartholomäus Crasselius Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 4:6 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, let me now adore Thee,
For where is there a God, such, Lord, as Thou?
With songs I fain would come before Thee;
Oh, let Thy Holy Spirit teach me now
To praise Thee in His name thro' whom alone
Our songs can please Thee, through Thy blessed Son!
2 O Father, draw me to my Savior
That Thy dear Son may draw me unto Thee;
Thy Spirit guide my whole behavior
And rule both sense and reason thus in me
That, Lord, Thy peace from me may ne'er depart,
But wake sweet melodies within my heart.
3 Grant that Thy Spirit prompt my praises,
Then shall my singing surely please Thine ear;
Sweet are the sounds the heart then raises,
My prayer in truth and spirit Thou wilt hear.;
Then shall Thy Spirit raise my heart to Thee
To sing Thee psalms of praise in high degree.
4 For He can plead for me with sighings
That are unspeakable to lips like mine;
He bids me pray with earnest cryings,
Bears witness with my soul that I am Thine,
Joint heir with Christ, and thus may dare to say:
O heavenly Father, hear me when I pray!
5 When thus my heart in prayer ascendeth,
Through Tine own Holy Spirit, unto Thee,
Thy heart, O Father, kindly bendeth
Its fervent love and favor unto me,
Rejoicing my petition to fulfil
which I have made according to Thy will.
6 And what Thy Spirit thus hath taught me
To seek from Thee must needs be such a prayer
As Thou wilt grant, through Him who bought me,
And raised me up to be Thy child and heir.
In Jesus' name I fearless seek Thy face,
And take from Thee, my Father, grace for grace.
Amen.
