Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall:
with the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew:
and he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child, so dear and gentle,
is our Lord in heaven above,
and he leads his children on
to the place where he has gone.

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 376 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:16 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
thy people still are fed,
who through this weary pilgrimage
hast all our fathers led;
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
before thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers, be the God
of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
our wandering footsteps guide;
give us each day our daily bread,
and raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around
till all our wanderings cease,
and at our Father's loved abode
our souls arrive in peace. Topics: Proper 11 Year A; Proper 15 Year C Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 221 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus
sang as they welcomed his birth,
“Glory to God in the highest!
Peace and good tidings to earth.”
[Refrain:]
Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
2 Fasting alone in the desert,
tell of the days that are past;
how for our sins He was tempted,
yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of his labor,
tell of the sorrow he bore,
he was despised and afflicted,
homeless, rejected and poor. (Refrain)
3 Tell of the cross where they nailed him,
writhing in anguish and pain;
tell of the grave where they laid him,
tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender
clearer than ever I see;
stay, let me weep while you whisper,
"Love paid the ransom for me." (Refrain)

love him and praise him, and still shall raise him
glad hymns forever: Alleluia!

When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon
but as the sinless one.
He came to share repentance
with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss,
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit,
aid us to keep the vows we make;
this very day invade us,
and ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leds to Pentecost. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: MUNICH
