As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: W. C. Dix, 1837-98 Hymnal: ELH1996 #168 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Savior, to Thy lowly bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heav'n and earth adore, So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat! 3 As they offered gifts most rare At Thy cradle, rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heav'nly King! 4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past. Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heav'nly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down. There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King! Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

At Jesus' Feet Our Infant Sweet

Author: M. Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: ELH1996 #245 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 At Jesus' feet our infant sweet We lay with all sin's stain, That renders him/her for haev'n unmeet Until he's/she's born again. We here embrace God's mighty grace In this baptismal wave, Nor shall the world our trust efface-- For "Baptism now doth save." 2 We cannot see the Holy Three Concealed the font within, Mere water seems the mystery That cleases us from sin; But everlasting gifts now dwell Through God's Word in this flood; Faith speaks, though reason may rebel: "This flood is Jesus' blood!"

Crown Him as your Captain In temptation's hour; Let His will enfold you In its light and pow'r. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S WESTON

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: ELH1996 #341 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious Sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb, But, lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it doth impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me hath won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; He is a pow'rless form, Howe'er he rave and storm. 5 The world against me rageth, Its fury I disdain; Though bitter war it wageth, Its work is all in vain. My heart from care is free, No trouble troubles me. Misfortune now is play, And night is bright as day. 6 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er He passeth through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain; He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow Him through all. 7 To halls of heav'nly splendor With Him I penetrate; And trouble ne'er may hinder Nor make me hesitate. Let tempests rage at will, My Savior shields me still; He grants abiding peace And bids all tumult cease. 8 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold Whereon this rime immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross hath shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me has died Shall here be glorified."

Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: ELH1996 #74 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noon-day clear; Think how th'allseeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. 3 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept And hast refreshed me whilst I slept. Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake. 4 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will And with Thyself my spirit fill. 5 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do or say That all my pow'rs, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #395 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church's youth, Who faced the Foe's envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest pray'r be heard, The pray'r Thy Son hath bid us pray; For lo, Thy children's hearts are stirred In ev'ry land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, "O help us, Lord! so let it be!" 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong. Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through ev'ry land be glorified Till all the heathen know its force And fill Thy churches far and wide. Wake Isreal from his sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquest of thy Word! 5 The Church's desert path restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

Away in a Manger

Hymnal: ELH1996 #119 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And take us to heaven to live with Thee there. Topics: Nativity of our Lord Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
