Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates!

Author: Georg Weissel, d. 1635; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #7 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.6.6 Tune Title: MACHT HOCH DIE THÜR Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold the King of Glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near, The Saviour of the world is here; Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing: We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator, wise art Thou! 2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried, Mercy is ever at His side; His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Saviour, now, Mighty in deed art Thou! 3 O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confest! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss: O Comforter Divine, What boundless grace is Thine! 4 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thy inner presence know, Thy grace and love in me bestow; Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won! Eternal praise and fame We offer to Thy Name. Amen.

Pleasant are Thy courts above

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: LHTC1918 #422 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: MAIDSTONE Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above In the land of light and love; Pleasant are Thy courts below In this land of sin and woe. O, my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, King of Glory, God of Grace! 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High; Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast. Like the wandering dove that found No repose on earth around. They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls! their praises flow Ever in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength, Till they reach Thy throne at length, At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place. Sun and shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Amen.

They come, God's messengers of love

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Hymnal: LHTC1918 #541 (1917) Tune Title: MARGARET Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy Nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the desert of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy children free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus: There is room in my heart for Thee. Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Languages: English

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #A371 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: MARTYN Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone; Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Languages: English

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #101 (1917) Tune Title: MARTYRDOM Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred Head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear Cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Author: Nahum Tate; Nicholas Brady Hymnal: LHTC1918 #257 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: MARTYRDOM Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams When heated in the chase, So longs my soul, O God, for Thee, And Thy refreshing grace. 2 For Thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; O when shall I behold Thy face, Thou majesty Divine! 3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of Him Who is thy God, Thy health’s eternal Spring. 4 To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, The God Whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

O Mother dear, Jerusalem!

Hymnal: LHTC1918 #525 (1917) Tune Title: MATERNA Lyrics: 1 O Mother dear, Jerusalem! When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2 No murky cloud o’ershadows thee, No cold nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun, For God Himself gives light. O my sweet home Jerusalem, Thy joys when shall I see? The King that sitteth on thy throne In His felicity? 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green, There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Quite through the streets, with silver sound, The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks, on every side, The wood of life doth grow. 4 There trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee; Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English

The new-born King Who comes to-day

Hymnal: LHTC1918 #538 (1917) Tune Title: MATERNA Lyrics: 1 The new-born King who comes to-day Brings tidings of great joy, Which sin can never take away, Nor death nor hell destroy. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, And hail this glorious dawn; For God comes down, frail man to crown-- The Lord of Life is born! 2 He comes not as a king of earth, In pomp and pride to reign; He seeks a poor and humble birth, But free from sinful stain; Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, Glad hymns of triumph sing: The Wonderful, the Counsellor, He comes, your God and King! 3 For us He leaves His Father’s throne, His sapphire throne on high, And comes to dwell on earth alone, For fallen man to die. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, All hail Messiah’s dawn: Our God comes down, earth’s joy and crown, The King of Love is born. 4 Glad Gentiles in their eastern home His radiant star behold; To God, their King, they joy to bring Sweet incense, myrrh, and gold. Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice, In heaven your praises sing, Before Him fall, the Lord of all, Your Maker and your King! 5 We join your song, celestial throng, Whose anthems never cease, We tune our lyres, with angels choirs, To hail the Prince of Peace! Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice All hail Immanuel’s morn; For God comes down, frail man to crown: To us a Child is born. Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Languages: English
