Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem
Author: Fulbert of Chartres (?-1028); Robert Campbell (1814-1868) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-12 Lyrics: 1 Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
your sweetest notes employ,
the paschal victory to hymn
in strains of holy joy.
2 For Judah's Lion bursts his chains,
crushing the serpent's head;
and cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.
3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
at his command restore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost to thee,
while endless ages run. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

The royal honors of thy throne:

And seraphs bow at thy command.

Where beams of gentle radiance shine,
And temper majesty divine.

Till all thine enemies obey;
Wide may thy cross its virtue prove,
And conquer millions by its love.

And laud proclaim thy healing breath,
Which works their life, who wrought thy death.

blest redeemer, whom we love,
fountain in life's desert dreary,
Savior from the world above:
often have your eyes, offended,
gazed upon the sinner's fall;
yet upon the cross extended,
you have borne the pain of all.
2 Do we pass that cross unheeding,
breathing no repentant vow,
though we see you wounded, bleeding,
see your thorn-encircled brow?
Yet your sinless death has brought us
life eternal, peace and rest;
only what your grace hath taught us
calms the sinner's deep distress.
3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning
with more fervent love for you;
may our eyes be ever turning
to behold your cross anew
till in glory, parted never
from the blessed Savior's side,
graven in our hearts forever
dwell the cross, the Crucified. Topics: Lent; Christ--Sacrifice of; Christian year--Lent; Love for Christ Used With Tune: CASSEL

Lord, what was Man, when made at first
Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:5 Lyrics: 1 Lord, what was Man, when made at first,
Adam the Offspring of the Dust,
That thou should'st set him and his Race
But just below an Angel's Place?
2 That thou should'st raise his Nature so,
And make him lord of all below,
Make every Beast and Bird submit,
And lay the Fishes at his Feet?
3 But, O what brighter Glories wait
To crown the second Adam's State!
What Honours shall thy Son adorn,
Who condescended to be born?
4 See him below his Angels made;
See him in Dust amongst the Dead,
To save a ruin'd World from Sin;
But he shall reign with Pow'r divine.
5 The World to come, redeem'd from all
The Mis'ries that attend the Fall,
New-made, and glorious, shall submit
At our exalted Saviour's Feet.
Lord, what was Man, when made at first

Nor suffer thou our steps to stray;

We follow thee.

Thy footsteps on the way we trace;

We follow thee.

We follow thee! Topics: Christ Captain of Salvation; Christ Leader; Opening of Service Used With Tune: SARUM
"We follow thee"
From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:10-18 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let every 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 a slave;
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creatures all to save.
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 Assenting to the angel's word,
she chose what God the Spirit 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 feeds us 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 blessèd morn
to God, the source of all, is due;
all praise to you, O Virgin-born,
all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.
