The Humble Inquiry
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Grace rules below, and sits enthroned above Lyrics: 1 Grace rules below, and sits enthroned above,
How few the sparks of wrath! how slow they move,
And drop and die in boundless seas of love!
2 But me, vile wretch! should pitying love embrace
Deep in its ocean, hell itself would blaze,
And flash and burn me through the boundless seas.
3 Yea, Lord, my guilt to such a vastness grown
Seems to confine my choice to wrath alone,
And calls Thy power to vindicate Thy throne.
4 Thine honor bids, "Avenge Thy injured name,"
Thy slighted loves a dreadful glory claim,
While my moist tears might but incense Thy flame.
5 Should heav’n grow black, almighty thunder roar,
And vengeance blast me, I could plead no more,
But own Thy justice, dying, and adore.
6 Yet can those bolts of death that cleave the flood
To reach a rebel, pierce this sacred shroud,
Tinged in the vital stream of my Redeemer’s blood? Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE Text Sources: Horae Lyrica Book 1, 1706

I Will Exalt You, O My God and King
Told in the Market-Place
Author: Edwina S. Babcock Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: That day the doves with burnished silver breasts Lyrics: 1. That day the doves with burnished silver breasts
Uneasy were; we, halt and blind and lame,
Within the temple waited, ugly guests,
Hoping, in spite of filth, disease and shame;
Outside the multitude waved branches green
Calling, Hosanna to the Nazarene.
2. I shrank close to the roof-prop, for my eyes
Were dead to seeing: but heard I the coins,
The piles of clinking silver shekels rise,
Poured from sheiks’ bags and belts ’round merchant loins;
I heard the purple priced; and in between
Far off, Hosanna to the Nazarene.
3. I could not see Him enter, but I heard
The multitude and smelled the dusty throng:
Old Anab brushed me with his ragged beard,
Muttering, Kneel, thou! He will speak ere long.
Yea—though five time more leprous I had been
I would come here to implore the Nazarene.
4. But then the woman Terah, ill of pox,
Began to whimper, See, He bringeth woe!
He overturns the booths, the treasure box,
Eyes blazing on the sellers. Let us go!
He’ll scourge us, smite us! Tush! It is well seen
We shall be cursèd of the Nazarene.
5. A form swept past us, we in terror caught
A man’s clear voice of anger: then the sound
Of fleeing feet of traffickers, onslaught
On booths, and tables crashing to the ground.
I heard the money scatter and careen
Under the spurning of the Nazarene.
6. Rachel, a maiden, clutched my sleeve, and shrank
With me behind the curtain, and the crowd
Surged wildly past. For us, our dear hopes sank
Under that stern voice cutting like a goad,
Judging, arraigning, charging; ’mid the spleen
Of money-changers, stood the Nazarene!
7. This temple is My house, the House of Prayer!
His voice was like the wind that whips the leaves.
But with your buyings and your sellings there
Ye—ye have made My house a den of thieves.
Then little Rachel sobbed, Awful is His mien;
His eyes are flames; I fear the Nazarene.
8. But when the temple silenced—while a dove
Fluttered and soared and beat against the roof,
We frightened beggars heard a voice of love
Calling us gently; then His tender proof
He gave. He healed us! I, who e’er had been
Blind from my birth—I saw the Nazarene! Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE

Author: James Allen Crutchfield Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Two women shall be grinding at the mill Lyrics: 1 Two women shall be grinding at the mill,
Two men shall be at home on plain or hill;
Two women shall be working in the field,
Two men shall be in search of wealth concealed,
But one shall be of hope at last bereft—
"One shall be taken and the other left."
2 Two boys be sleeping in the self-same bed,
On the same breast each leaned his baby head;
Two girls in social circles side by side,
Two girls in learning with each other vied;
But one has thought of Him whose side was cleft,
"One shall be taken and the other left."
3 Two sweethearts shall be laughing by the way,
Two travelers meeting at the close of day;
Two figures at an altar, side by side,
One is a groom, the other, blushing bride;
But when the veil that hides is rent and reft,
"One shall be taken and the other left."
4 Two lawyers shall be poring o’er a brief,
Two doctors seeking means to give relief;
Two faithful, trusted officers of state,
Two bankers at their desk—early and late;
But sin holds one by millstone weight and heft—
"One shall be taken and the other left."
5 Two soldiers hear their country’s call and go,
Two tongues to tests of truth say yes, or no;
Two heads feel sun and rain which come to all;
Two souls shall hear God’s oft repeated call—
But when at last is wove life’s web and weft,
"One shall be taken and the other left." Used With Tune: [Two women shall be grinding at the mill] Text Sources: Miscellaneous Poems (Chicago, 1906)

Author: John Byrom; Unknown Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 ക്രൈസ്തവരേ വന്ദനയ്ക്കുണരിന്
ക്രി-സ്തു കന്യാജാതം ചെയ്ത നാളില്
ഭാഗ്യോദയെ- അത്ഭുതമീസ്നേഹം
അ- ഗോചരമല്ലോ ഇതിന് മര്മ്മം
വാനേ ദൂതന്മാര് പാടി ഇതാദ്യം
മാനു-ഷ്യാവതാരം ഘോഷിച്ചിവര്
2 കാവല് കാക്കും ഇടയരും കേട്ടു
ദൈവ ദൂതസ്വരം, "ഭയം വേണ്ടാ"
നല്ല വാര്ത്ത- കൊണ്ടുവരുന്നു ഞാന്
എല്ലാവര്ക്കുമുള്ളോരു രക്ഷകന്
ഇന്നു ജനിച്ചു ദൈവ വാഗ്ദത്തം
ഒന്നു പോലും പിഴയ്കാ നിശ്ചയം
3 ദൂതഗണം ആകാശം മുഴക്കും
ഗീതം പാടി ആര്ത്തു "ഉന്നതത്തില്
ദൈവത്തിനു മഹത്വം ഭൂമിയില്
ദൈവ-പ്രസാദമുള്ളോര്ക്കു സാമം"
വീണ്ടെടുപ്പിന് സ്നേ-ഹം ദൂതന്മാര്ക്കും
പണ്ടേ ആശ്ചര്യം: ഗീതവുമത്
4 ആട്ടിടയര് ഓടി ബേത് ലേമിന്നു
കുട്ടിയായ് പുല്ത്തൊട്ടിയില് കണ്ടവര്
രക്ഷകനെ അമ്മയോടുകൂടെ
സൂക്ഷ്മം ദൂതവാക്യം എന്നറിഞ്ഞു
സാക്ഷിച്ചെങ്ങും അത്ഭുതകാഴ്ച്ചയെ
ഘോഷിച്ചോരാദ്യം യേശുവേ ഇവര്
5 ക്രിസ്തുമസ് മോദം ആട്ടിടയരെ പോല്
പ്രസ്താവിക്കാം സ്തോത്രസ്വരത്തോടെ
നഷ്ടം തീര്ക്കും ഈ ശിശുവിനെ നാം
തൊട്ടി തൊട്ടു ക്രൂശോളം നോക്കി കാണ്
നിഷ്ഠയോടെപിന്- ചെല്കകൃപയാല്
നഷ്ട-സ്വര്ഗ്ഗം വീണ്ടും പ്രാപിപ്പോളം
6 ഗീതം പാടാം രക്ഷയിന് -മോദത്താല്
ദൂതര് മദ്ധ്യേ നില്ക്കാം ജയംകൊണ്ട്
ഇന്നു പിറന്നവന്റെ മഹത്വം
മി-ന്നുന്നുണ്ടല്ലോ നമ്മുടെ ചുറ്റും
നിത്യം പാടും രക്ഷപ്പെട്ടോര് സ്തുതി
നിത്യം-നാം സ്വര്ഗ്ഗീയ രാജാവിന്നു Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE
