From East to West

Author: C. Sedulius; J. Ellerton, 1826-93 Hymnal: ELH1996 #267 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: CHRISTUM WIR SOLLEN LOBEN SCHON First Line: From east to west, from shore to shore Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, Let ev'ry heart awake and sing The holy child whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold, the world's creator wears The form and fashion of our frame; Our very flesh our Maker shares, To save a fallen world He came. 3 For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of his grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word, Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary's breast Himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord Most High, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.

O hear my sighs to Thee. 5 When mind and thought, 0 Savior, Are flic'ring like a light That to and fro doth waver Ere 'tis extinguished quite, 6 In that last hour, O grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchored on Thy will; 7 And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing And wake in heav'n with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou, Christ, my Savior. Wilt grant this unto me. Thy Spirit lead me ever That I fare happily. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Languages: English

Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord, Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Reechoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! So sang His hosts, unheard by men, Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 4 Nations afar, in ign'rance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men! Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!" Amen, Amen. 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song; Sing to His name, His love forthtell! Sing on, heav'n's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell! Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain! From angels praise and thanks from men! Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and pow'r! Amen, Amen. Topics: Jesus, Savior of Gentiles Languages: English
