I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me! A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me. Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O Love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.

Light of the Gentile nations

Author: Miss Winkworth; John Frank Hymnal: Church Book #144 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 1 Thou Light of Gentile nations, Thy people's joy and love! Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, Even now, in every place Where Thy true Word hath promised That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines mid pain and loss, Our Sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, let now Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour And here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of Faith: No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith. Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee! Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN

The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with rest. O wondrous Food of blessing, O Cup that heals our woes! My heart, this gift possessing, In thankful song o'erflows. 2 My Lord, Thou here hast led me Within Thy holiest place, And there Thyself hast fed me With treasures of Thy grace: And Thou hast freely given What earth could never buy, The Bread of Life from heaven, That now I shall not die! 3 Thou givest me all I wanted, The Food can death destroy; And Thou hast freely granted The Cup of endless joy. Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne! 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly Food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, I serve with holy fear: And when Thou callest my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #94 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How welcome Thee aright! All nations long to greet Thee, My hope, my heart’s delight! O Jesus, Jesus, set Thee Thy lamp within my breast, And by its guidance let me Know what doth please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion strews before Thee Green boughs and fairest palms, And I, too, will adore Thee With sweetest songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For Thee with praises new, And from Thy name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 What hast Thou left ungranted To give me glad relief? When soul and body panted In utmost depth of grief, In deepest degradation, Devoid of joy and peace, Then, Thou, my soul's Salvation, Didst come to bring release. 4 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com’st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com’st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 5 Naught, naught, dear Lord, could move Thee To leave Thy rightful place Save love, for which I love Thee; A love that could embrace A world where sorrow dwelleth, Which sin and suff'ring fill, More than the tongue e'er telleth; Yet Thou couldst love it still! 6 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o’er joys departed, And tremble at your doom; Despair not, He is near you, Yea, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you, And bid you weep no more. 7 No care nor effort either Is needed day or night, How ye may draw Him hither In your own strength and might. He comes, He comes with gladness, Moved by His love alone, To calm your fear and sadness, To Him they well are known. 8 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, Let not your souls distress; Your guilt the Lord will pardon And cover with His grace. He comes, He comes procuring The peace of sin forgiv'n, For all God's sons securing Their heritage in heav'n. 9 Why should the wicked move you? Heed not their craft and spite! Your Savior who doth love you Will scatter all their might. He comes, a King most glorious, And all His earthly foes In vain His course victorious Endeavor to oppose. 10 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A Light of consolations And blessed Hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering, And guide us safely home! Topics: Jesus, The Coming King; Advent 1 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN
