Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Hymnal: VoP1883 #60 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To get the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy, To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls condemn'd and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall descend like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth: Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend: His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never, His covenant remove, His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles Languages: English Tune Title: ZOAN

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: VoP1883 #61 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid: Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid: Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles Languages: English Tune Title: WEBER

As with gladness men of old

Hymnal: VoP1883 #62 (1883) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom Heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offer'd gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransom'd souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun, which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Manifestation to the Gentiles; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

The Story of the Cross

Hymnal: VoP1883 #63 (1883) First Line: In His own raiment clad Lyrics: I. THE QUESTION 1 In His own raiment clad - With His Blood dyed; Women walk sorrowing By His side. 2 Heavy that Cross to Him - Weary the weight - One who will help Him waits At the gate. 3 See! they are travelling On the same road - Simon is sharing with Him the load. 4 Oh, whither wandering, Bear they that tree? He who first carries it - Who is He? II. THE ANSWER 1 Follow to Calvary - Tread where He trod - He who for ever was Son of God. 2 You who would love Him, stand, Gaze at His face; Tarry awhile on your Earthly race. 3 As the swift moments fly Through the Blest Week, Read the great story the Cross will teach. 4 Is there no beauty to You who pass by In that lone figure which Marks the sky? III. THE STORY 1 On the Cross lifted Thy Face I scan-- Bearing that Cross for me, Son of Man. 2 Thorns form Thy diadem, Rough wood Thy throne - For us Thy Blood is shed - Us alone. 3 No pillow under Thee To rest Thy Head - Only the splintered Cross Is Thy bed. 4 Nails pierce Thy Hands and Feet, Thy Side the Spear; No voice is nigh, to day Help is near. 5 Shadows of midnight fall, Though it is day - Thy friends and kinsfolk stand Far away. 6 Loud is Thy bitter cry: Sunk on Thy breast Hangeth Thy bleeding Head Without rest. 7 Loud scoffs the dying thief, Who mocks at Thee - Can it, my Saviour, be All for me? 8 Gazing afar from Thee, Silent and lone, Stand those few weepers Thou Call'st Thine own. 9 I see Thy title, Lord, Inscribed above - "JESUS of Nazareth," King of Love! 10 What, O my Saviour, Here didst Thou see, Which made Thee suffer and Die for me? IV. THE APPEAL FROM THE CROSS 1 Child of my grief and pain, Watch'd by my love, I came to call thee to Realms above. 2 I saw thee wandering Far off from me: In love, I seek for thee - Do not flee. 3 For thee My blood I shed - For thee alone; I came to purchase thee - For Mine own. 4 Weep not for My grief, Child of my love - Strive to be with Me in Heaven above. V. THE CRY TO JESUS 1 Oh, I will follow Thee, Star of my soul, Thro' the deep shades of life To the goal. 2 Yes, let Thy Cross be borne Each day by me, Mind not how heavy if But with Thee. 3 Lord, if Thou only wilt Make me Thine own, Give no companion, save Thee alone. 4 Grant through each day of life To stand by Thee; With Thee, when morning breaks, Ever to be. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Languages: English Tune Title: [In His own raiment clad]

Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Hymnal: VoP1883 #64 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee, Low we bow th' adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our streaming eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe, Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness, By Thy victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thy conflict with despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds, Thy crown of thorn, By Thy cross, Thy pangs, and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the seal'd sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, By Thy power from death to save; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored, Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Languages: English Tune Title: SPANISH CHANT

O Thou to whose all-searching sight

Hymnal: VoP1883 #65 (1883) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart, it looks to Thee, O burst its bonds, and set it free. 2 Wash out its stains, remove its dross, Bind my affections to the Cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean. 3 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my light, be Thou my way; No foes, no violence I fear, No harm, while Thou, my God, art near. 4 When rising floods my soul o'er flow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesus, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 5 Saviour, where'er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee: O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH

Lord, in this Thy mercy's day

Hymnal: VoP1883 #66 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Lord, in this Thy mercy's day, Ere the time shall pass away, On our knees we fall and pray. 3 Holy Jesus, grant us tears, Fill us with heart-searching fears, Ere the hour of doom appears. 3 Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour, Kneeling lowly at Thy door, Ere it close for evermore. 4 By Thy night of agony, By Thy supplicating cry, By Thy willingness to die, 5 By Thy tears of bitter woe For Jerusalem below, Let us not Thy love forego. 6 Judge and Saviour of our race, When we see Thee face to face, Grant us 'neath Thy wings a place. 7 On Thy love we rest alone, And that love will then be known By the pardon'd round Thy throne. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Example of Self-Sacrifice Languages: English Tune Title: S. PHILIP
