Hail, Thou Once-Despised Jesus

Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 624 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou once despised Jesus; Hail, thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us; thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou universal Savior, bearer of our sin and shame, by thy merit we find favor: life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on thee were laid: by almighty love anointed, thou hast full atonement made: all thy people are forgiven through the virtue of thy blood; opened is the gate of heaven; reconciled are we with God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, there for ever to abide; all the heav'nly hosts adore thee, seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners thou art pleading: there thou dost our place prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing thou art worthy to receive; loudest praises without ceasing meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays; help to sing our Savior's merits; help to chant Emmanuel's praise!

Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855 - 1932 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate Hallows all our human race, Thou our Head, who, throned in glory, For thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with thy love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have thy gifts been granted, Freely may thy servants give. Thine the gold and thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign above us, King of love, and Prince of Peace: Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease; By thy patient years of toiling, By thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 Dark the path that lies behind us, Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood; But before us gleams the vision Of the coming brotherhood. Thou who prayedst, thou who willest That thy people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope's fruition: Here on earth thy will be done. Amen.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 900 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in God's justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We would trust God's saving word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior. There is healing in his blood.

Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by the prophets, Spoken an unchanging word; Each from age to age proclaiming God, the one, the righteous Lord. In the world's despair and turmoil, One firm anchor holds us fast; God is King, enthroned eternal; God the first, and God the last. 2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus, Christ, the everlasting Son, Brightness of the Father's glory, With the Father ever one; Spoken by the Word Incarnate, God of God, before time was; Light of light, to earth descending, Christ reveals our God to us. 3 God is speaking by the Spirit, Speaking to the hearts of all, In the ageless word expounding God's own message for us all. Through the rise and fall of nations One sure faith yet standing fast; God abides in word unchanging; God the first, and God the last. Topics: Word Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
