A little child the Saviour came

Author: William Robertson (1820-1864) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #631 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came, the mighty God was still his name, and angels worshipped as he lay the seeming infant of a day. 2 He who, a little child, began to show the world God's loving plan, proclaims from heaven the message free, 'Let little children come to me.' 3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign of sprinkled water name them thine: their souls with saving grace endow; baptize them with thy Spirit now. 4 O give thine angels charge, good Lord, them safely in thy way to guard; thy blessing on their lives command, and write their names upon thy hand. 5 O thou, who by an infant's tongue dost hear thy perfect glory sung, may these, with all the heavenly host, praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

A safe stronghold our God is still

Author: Martin Luther (1483-1546); Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #454 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; he'll keep us clear from all the ill that hath us now o'ertaken. The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; they cannot overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? his doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #580 (2008) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness: where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; for man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy mercy and thy love unswerving, not my deserving.
