O Thou, not made with hands

Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 13 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord who comes, comes to his temple gate, not with his angel host, not in his kingly state: no shouts proclaim him nigh, no crowds his coming wait. 2 But borne upon the throne of Mary's gentle breast, watched by her duteous love, in her fond arms at rest; thus to his Father's house he comes, the heavenly guest. 3 There Joseph at her side in reverent wonder stands; and, filled with holy joy, old Simeon in his hands takes up the promised child, the glory of all lands. 4 Hail to the great First-born, whose ransom-price they pay, the Son before all worlds, the child of man to-day, that he might ransom us who still in bondage lay. 5 O Light of all the earth, thy children wait for thee: come to thy temples here, that we, from sin set free, before thy Father's face may all presented be.

I gave my life for thee; Come, give thyself to me! 2 My Father's home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Come now and follow me! 3 I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Come, spend thy years for me. 4 I suffered much for thee, More than my tongue may tell, Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; Come, bear thy cross with me. 5 And I have brought to thee Down from my home above Salvation full and free, My pardon and my love. Great gifts I brought for thee; Come, bring thy gifts to me. 6 Oh, let thy life be spent, Thy years for me be giv'n, As I for thee was sent To bear thee home to heav'n. I gave my life for thee; Come, give thy life to me. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: OLD 120TH

I Wandered Sore Distressed

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. I wandered sore distressed, All weary and forlorn; I had no place to rest, Of all my pleasures shorn— My thirsting spirit sighed, And in the desert cried. 2. The Shepherd heard my cry, Who came His flock to find, And drew in mercy nigh, For He is wondrous kind; His winning voice awoke My spirit as He spoke. 3. He bade my wandering cease, And gave my heart a home, That from the bliss of peace I might no longer roam; He gave me hope for fears, And lasting joy for tears.
