In The Wintry Heaven
Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: In the wintry heaven shines a wondrous star Lyrics: 1 In the wintry heaven shines a wondrous star;
In the east the wise men watched it from afar;
Asking, "What this luster, so unearthly bright?"
Answering, "Christ in glory comes to earth tonight."
2 O’er the dusty highway, o’er the desert drear,
From the east, the wise men, watch it shining clear;
Asking, "Shall we follow in this starlight way?"
Answering, "Yes, ’twill lead us to the perfect day."
3 In a lowly manger lies an infant weak;
Is it He whom wise men eome so far to seek?
Asking, "Where the monarch? where Judea’s king?"
Saying, "Gifts and worship to His throne we bring."
4 In our hearts, we children, see this star once more;
Not as wise men saw it, in the days of yore;
Asking, "May we bring Him childhood’s love today?"
Answering, "Come, dear children, Jesus says we may." Used With Tune: BOHEMIA Text Sources: Voices of Praise by Charles L. Hutchins (Boston: Ditson & Company, 1883)

In God's Holy Dwelling
Author: T. A. Stowell Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In God’s holy dwelling,
Spared to meet again,
Hark! glad voices swelling,
Raise their joyous strain.
Children, bending lowly,
Join the angels’ story cry,
“Holy, holy, holy,
Is the Lord on high!”
2 All things tell His glory—
Earth and heaven above;
And the gospel story
Tells His wondrous love;
How the Father gave us
His own Son to die;
How the Son to save us,
Left His throne on high!
3 Oh, how blest to know Him,
And His love so true!
Oh, how sweet to show Him
How we love Him too!
For to us is given
Here to test His grace,
And the hope in Heaven
To behold His Face.
4 Then within His dwelling,
Raise the joyous song;
Let glad voices swelling
Still the strain prolong;
Children, bending lowly,
Join the angels’ story cry,
“Holy, holy, holy,
Is the Lord on high!” Topics: Children's Services Used With Tune: CALVARY

O Zion, Afflicted with Wave upon Wave
Author: James Grant Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave,
Whom no mortal power can succor or save;
With sickness surrounded, by terrors dismayed,
In toiling and watching, thy strength is decayed.
2. Loud roaring and swelling, the billows o’erwhelm,
But skillful’s the Pilot that sits at the helm;
His wisdom conducts thee, His power thee defends,
In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends.
3. O fearful, O faithless, in mercy He cries,
“My promise, My truth, are they small in thine eyes?
Still, still I am with thee, My promise shall stand,
Through tempest and tossing, I’ll bring thee to land.
4. “Forget thee, I will not, I cannot, thy name
Engraved on My heart doth for ever remain;
The palms of My hands, whilst I look on I see
The wounds I received when I suffered for thee.
5. “Then trust Me, and fear not, thy life is secure,
My wisdom is perfect, supreme is My power;
In love I correct thee, thy soul to refine,
And cause thee at length in My likeness to shine.
6. The doubting, the fearful, the weak are My care,
The helpless, the hopeless, I hear their sad prayer;
From all their afflictions, My glory shall spring,
The deeper their sorrows, the louder they’ll sing. Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: Original Hymns and Poems, Written by a Private Christian for His Own Use, and Published at the Earnest Desire of Friends (Edinburgh, Scotland: 1784), number 16

Jesus, Wondrous Savior
Author: Daniel A. McGregor Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Jesus, wondrous Savior! Christ, of kings the king Lyrics: 1. Jesus, wondrous Savior! Christ, of kings the king!
Angels fall before Thee, prostrate worshipping;
Fairest they confess Thee in the Heav’n above.
We would sing Thee fairest here in hymns of love.
2. Fairer far than sunlight unto eyes that wait
Amid fear and darkness, ’til the morning break;
Fairer than the day-dawn, hills and dales among,
When its tide of glory wakes the tide of song.
3. Sweeter far than music quivering from keys
That unbind all feeling with strange harmonies.
Thou art more and dearer than all minstrelsy;
Only in Thy presence can joy’s fullness be.
4. All earth’s flowing pleasures were a wintry sea,
Heav’n itself without Thee dark as night would be.
Lamb of God! Thy glory is the light above.
Lamb of God! Thy glory is the life of love.
5. Life is death if severed from Thy throbbing heart.
Death with life abundant at Thy touch would start.
Worlds and men and angels all consist in Thee:
Yet Thou camest to us in humility.
6. Jesus! All perfections rise and end in Thee;
Brightness of God’s glory Thou, eternally,
Favored beyond measure they Thy face who see;
May we gracious Savior, share this ecstasy. Used With Tune: FRANCONIA (Hastings)
Jesus, Wondrous Savior
