Author: Bianco of Siena, d. 1434; R. F. Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
Seek Thou this soul of mine,
And visit it with Thine own ardor glowing;

Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing.

Till earthly passions turn
To dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
And let Thy glorious light
Shine ever on my sight,
And clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

My death, was all my own;
All that I am I owe to Thee,
My gracious God, alone.

Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is Thine, and only Thine.

The bondage, all was mine;
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty, is Thine.
4 Thy Word first made me feel my sin,
It taught me to believe;
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live!
5 All that I am, e'en here on earth,
All that I hope to be,
When Jesus comes and glory dawns,
I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.

Who unto us His Son hath giv'n!
While angels sing with pious mirth
A glad new year to all the earth.

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: C. Wordsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem,
In Thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to Thee addressed
Word in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme,
And at Cana, Wedding Guest,
In Thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to Thee addressed
God on earth made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to Thee addressed,
God for us made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord,
Mirrored in Thy holy Word;
May we imitate Thee now
And be pure, as pure art Thou;
That we like to Thee may be
At Thy great epiphany,
And may praise Thee, ever blest,
God for all made manifest.

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 472 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.

That guides us all the day,
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns Thy rule obey;
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day
Thy skill and pow'r express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy Word is everlasting truth;
How pure is ev'ry page!
That holy Book shall guide our youth
And well support our age.

How Beauteous Are Their Feet
Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 711 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal.
2 How charming is their voice!
How sweet their tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior King;
He reigns and triumphs here."
3 How happy are our ears,
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes
That see this heav'nly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
6 The Lord makes bare His arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let all the nations now behold
Their Savior and their God.
