Within the Father's house

Author: Bp. J. R. Woodford Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house The Son has found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come. 2 The doctors of the law Gaze on the wondrous Child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. 3 Yet not to them is given The mighty truth to know, To lift the earthly veil which hides Incarnate God below. 4 The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pondering hearts await The full Epiphany. 5 Lord, visit Thou our souls And teach us by Thy grace, Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace; 6 Till from our darkened sight The cloud shall pass away, And on the cleansèd soul shall burst The everlasting Day; 7 Till we behold Thy face, And know, as we are known, Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Purification Used With Tune: [Within the Father's house]

O Word of God Above

Author: Charles Guiet; Isaac Williams Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Word of God above, Who fillest all in all, Hallow this house with Thy sure love, And bless our festival. 2. Here from the font is poured Grace on each sinful child; The blest anointing of the Lord Brightens the once defiled. 3. Here Christ to faithful hearts His body gives for food; The Lamb of God Himself imparts The chalice of His blood. 4. Here guilty souls that pine May health and pardon win; The Judge acquits, and grace divine Restores the dead in sin. 5. Yea, God enthroned on high Here also dwells to bless; Here trains adoring souls that sigh His mansions to possess. 6. Against this holy home Rude tempests harmless beat, And Satan’s angels fiercely come But to endure defeat. 7. All might, all praise be Thine, Father, co-equal Son, And Spirit, Bond of love divine, Where endless ages run. Used With Tune: ST.
