Thou Dost Reign on High

Author: Emily E.S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 416 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 First Line: Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown, yet thou camest to earth for me, and in Bethlehem's home was there found no room for thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, proclaiming thy royal degree; but of lowly birth didst thou come to earth, and in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest, in the shade of the forest tree; but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, in the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word that should set thy people free; but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, they bore thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, thy cross is my only plea. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, and her choirs shall sing, at thy coming to victory, let thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room, there is room at my side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me.

Once in royal David's city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her Baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that Child so dear and helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high, where his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.

In the bleak midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone: snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day, a breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: enough for him whom angels fall down before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. 4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss. 5 What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him, give my heart.
