Ye Holy Angels Bright
Author: Richard Baxter (1615-1691) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-12 Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song,
for else the theme
too high doth seem
for mortal tongue.
2 Ye blessed souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
your praises sound,
as in God's sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
in God rejoice,
and thus proclaim
the holy name
with sounding voice.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love!
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er God send,
be filled with praise. Topics: Angels; Communion of Saints; Funeral; Michael, the Archangel; Praise of God Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

Eternal and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.

We read you in the sky above;
We read you in the earth below,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow.
3 We read you best in him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame,
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.
4 We read your pow'r to bless and save
E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light
We read the fullness of your might.

Thro' all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, forever blest. Topics: Burial; Creation; Jesus Christ; Love of God for Us Used With Tune: DE TAR

When all our toils shall cease;

And dwell in endless peace.

We hear of war no more;

On yonder peaceful shore. Topics: Christ Leader; Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage Used With Tune: LEIGHTON

Creator of the Stars of Night

thy people's everlasting light,
Jesus, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.

of all creation doomed to die,

by healing gifts of heavenly grace.

thou didst in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a maiden mother's womb.
4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.

and God the Spirit, Three-in-One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Topics: Advent; Jesus, Name of Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME Text Sources: Latin (6th cent.)

To whom, save thee who canst alone
Author: Bonar Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 First Line: Thy works, not mine, O Christ Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart:
To whom, save thee, Who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord! shall I flee!
2 Thy tears, not mine, O Christ,
Have wept my guilt away;
And turned this night of mine
Into a blessed day:
To whom, save thee, Who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord! shall I flee?
3 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole:
To whom, save thee, Who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord! shall I flee?
4 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none can bear
But the incarnate God:
To whom, save thee, Who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord! shall I flee!

In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10-18 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
3 Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
4 What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man, I would do my part;
yet what I can, I give him -- give my heart.

He who on earth as man was known
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.
2 His hands the wheels of nature guide,
With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.
3 While harps unnumbered sound his praise
In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.
4 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.
5 How glorious he! how happy they,
In such a glorious Friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High

And join the blissful choir above;

And there they sing his wond'rous love.

O may we feel the sacred flame;
And ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue
Adore the Saviour's glorious name.
3 Jesus, who once upon the tree
In agonizing pains expir'd;
Who di'd for rebels—yes 'tis he!
How bright! how lovely! how admir'd!
4 Jesus who di'd that we might live,
Di'd in the wretched traitor's place;—
O what returns can mortals give,
For such immeasurable grace!
5 Were universal nature ours,
And art with all her boasted store;
Nature and art with all their pow'rs,
Would still confess the offerer poor!
6 Yet tho' for bounty so divine!
We ne'er can equal honors raise,
Jesus, may all our hearts be thine,
And all our tongues proclaim thy praise.
