Lord, who left the highest heaven

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #97a (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: God, Saviour Growing, Teaching, Serving Lyrics: 1 Lord, who left the highest heaven for a homeless human birth and, a child within a stable, came to share the life of earth — with your grace and mercy bless all who suffer homelessness. 2 Lord, who sought by cloak of darkness refuge under foreign skies from the swords of Herod's soldiers, ravaged homes and parents' cries — may your grace and mercy rest on the homeless and oppressed. 3 Lord, who lived secure and settled, safe within the Father's plan, and in wisdom, stature, favour growing up from boy to man — with your grace and mercy bless all who strive for holiness. 4 Lord, who leaving home and kindred, followed still as duty led, sky the roof and earth the pillow for the Prince of glory's head — with your grace and mercy bless sacrifice for righteousness. 5 Lord, who in your cross and passion hung beneath a darkened sky, yet whose thoughts were for your mother, and a thief condemned to die — may your grace and mercy rest on the helpless and distressed. 6 Lord, who rose to life triumphant with our whole salvation won, risen, glorified, ascended, all the Father's purpose done — may your grace, all conflict past, bring your children home at last.

I will trust and not be afraid

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXC (1792) Topics: Growing in Grace desired First Line: Begone, unbelief Lyrics: 1 Begone unbelief, My savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear: By pray'r let me wrestle, And he will perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, 'Tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word he has spoken Shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past, Forbids me to think He'll leave me at last In trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, confirms his good pleasure To help me quite through. 4 Determin'd to save, He watch'd o'er my path When Satan's blind slave, I sported with death; And can he have taught me To trust in his name, And thus far have brought me To put me to shame? 5 Why should I complain Of want or distress Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I knew from his word, Through much tribulation, Must follow their Lord. 6 How bitter that cup, No heart can conceive, Which he drunk quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher, And darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, And shall I repine? 7 Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The med'cine is food; Though painful at present, 'Twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant, The conqueror's song!

Joy of each day, our Song by night, shine on our path your holy light. 4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures, incense and gold and solemn myrrh; welcoming one too young to question how came these gifts, and what they were: Gift beyond price of gold or gem, make among us your Bethlehem.
