Of the Father's love begotten

Author: Prudentius, 348-c. 413; J. M. Neale, 1818-1866; H. W. Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #65 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten ere the worlds began to be, he is Alpha and Omega, he the source, the ending he, of the things that are, that have been, and that future years shall see evermore and evermore. 2 At his word they were created; he commanded; it was done: heaven and earth and depths of ocean in their threefold order one; all that grows beneath the shining, of the light of moon and sun, evermore and evermore. 3 O that birth for ever blessèd, when the Virgin, full of grace, by the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Saviour of our race, and the babe, the world's Redeemer, first revealed his sacred face, evermore and evermore. 4 O ye heights of heaven adore him; angel-hosts, his praises sing; powers, dominions, bow before him, and extol our God and King: let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concert ring, evermore and evermore. 5 This is he whom seers and sages sang of old with one accord; whom the writings of the prophets promised in their faithful word; now he shines, the long-expected: let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore. *6 Hail, thou Judge of souls departed! Hail, thou King of them that live! On the Father's throne exalted none in might with thee may strive; who at last in judgement coming sinners from thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore. 7 Christ, to thee, with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving and unwearied praises be, honour, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory, evermore and evermore.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #66 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall; with the poor and mean and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood he would honour and obey, love and watch the lowly maiden, in whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as he. 4 For he is our childhood's pattern, day by day like us he grew, he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high; where like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around.
