The Lowliness Of The Messiah

Author: Thomas B. Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Jews beheld with pride and scorn Lyrics: 1 The Jews beheld with pride and scorn The Savior in His day; They mocked His birth, and state forlorn, His meek and humble way. 2 Is this, the foolish people said, “A prince to rule our land? We see no crown upon his head, No scepter in his hand. 3 “Where is the long and splendid track Of triumphs all his own; The arm to give to Judah back Her long lost, vacant throne? 4 “When He, the Lord in whom we trust, Shall come to bless our race, His enemies shall lick the dust, All nations seek His face. 5 And He, with pow’r by Heav’n assigned, The hearts of men shall draw To Moses’ rules, till all mankind Shall own no other law. 6 Alas! the veil was on their eyes, That hid the coming scene, And led them blindly to despise The lowly Nazarene. 7 A conqueror He o’er death and hell, Their armies to control, The proud rebellious thoughts to quell, And win the faithful soul. 8 A king, to whose divine command All pow’r and might are giv’n, To rule on earth in every land, And reign supreme in Heav’n. 9 A teacher of the will divine, Almighty to impart His righteous law; and, line on line, To write it on the heart. 10 He is our fortress and our rock, Our shepherd, called of old; For there shall be one happy flock, One Shepherd of the fold.

Save Me, O God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1. Save me, O God, because the floods Come in upon my soul; I sink in depths where none can stand; Deep waters, o’er me roll. 2. My constant calling wearies me, My throat is parched and dried, My eyes grow dim while for my God Still waiting I abide. 3. The foes who hate me unprovoked, Are strong and still increase, Though to disarm their enmity My right I yield for peace. 4. O God, my folly and my sin Thy holy eye can see; Yet save from shame, Lord God of hosts, Thy saints that wait on Thee. 5. Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6. It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7. It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8. I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9. The men who sit within the gate With slander do me wrong, And they who linger at their cups Make me their jest and song.

Son of the Highest, Deign to Cast

Author: Odo of Cluny, 878-942; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Son of the Highest, deign to cast On us a pitying eye, Thou who repentant Magdalene Didst call to joys on high. 2. Thy long lost coin is stored at length In treasure house divine, The jewel from pollution cleansed Doth now the stars outshine. 3. Jesu, the balm of every wound, The sinner’s only stay, Grant us, like Magdalene, to weep In this Thy mercy’s day. 4. Absolve us by Thy gracious Word, Fulfill us with Thy love, And guide us through the storms of life To perfect rest above. 5. All praise, all glory be to Thee, O everlasting Lord, Whose mercy doth our souls forgive, Whose bounty doth reward. Used With Tune: ST.

Welcome, thou Victor in the strife

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! To-day we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house to-day Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give, Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless are his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts.
