Thou Dost Reign on High

Author: Emily E.S. Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #241 (1990) Meter: Irregular Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 First Line: Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown, yet thou camest to earth for me, and 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 deserts 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 people free; but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, they bore thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, thy cross is my only plea. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, and her choirs shall 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." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me.

With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high, where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.

What can I want beside? 5 O Lord, I cast my care on thee; I triumph and adore; henceforth my great concern shall be to love and please thee more.

Lord, lead the way the Savior went

Author: W. Crosswell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1003 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:12 Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure, And let our treasures still be spent, Like his, upon the poor. 2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their gloomy loneliness, Would see the desolate. 3 For thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill; And that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Small are the offerings we can make; Yet thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward.
