Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Matching Instances: 29 First Line: Gentle Mary laid her child Lyrics: 1. Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; There He lay, the undefiled, To the world a stranger: Such a Babe in such a place, Can He be the Savior? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found His favor. 2. Angels sang about His birth; Wise men sought and found Him; Heaven's star shone brightly forth, Glory all around Him: Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, Heard the angels singing; All the plains were lit that night, All the hills were ringing. 3. Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; He is still the undefiled, But no more a stranger: Son of God, of humble birth, Beautiful the story; Praise His name in all the earth, Hail the King of glory!

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing, splendor shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing; earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated, this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration, rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning; valleys, this is your new birth, mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees, fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these seeks and saves the fearful; deaf ears, hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes, see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness; God hath brought his Israel into joy from sadness; loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls today; Christ hath burst his prison, and from three days' sleep in death as a sun hath risen; all the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold thee as a mortal: but today amidst thine own thou didst stand, bestowing thine own peace, which evermore passeth human knowing.
