Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 A holy state is wedded life And blest, where God joins man and wife: A type of Jesus and His Bride, Beloved and honored at His side. 2 Where manly worth and gentle grace In godliness keep step apace, There wedded love grows never stale, Nor heaven's blessings ever fail. 3 Where by the Word the Lord is Guest, And all through faith and prayer is blest, There with God's grace will all be filled, And God Himself that house will build. 4 The skillful hand and stronger arm, Still plied with zeal and ardor warm, With watchful eye and frugal care, Full soon a competence prepare. 5 This chaste estate of Paradise, Is left to man below the skies; Prolific harbinger of good, Perennial fount of brotherhood: 6 From this all stations emanate, The Home the Church, and Powers of State; Blest nursery of virtuous worth, Be thou held sacred still on earth!

All praise to thee, eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 109 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for thy throne, While worlds on worlds are thine alone! 2 Once did the skies before thee bow; A virgin's arms contain thee now: Angels, who did in thee rejoice, Now listen to thy infant voice. 3 A little child, thou art our guest, That weary ones in thee may rest; Forlorn and lowly is thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night, To make us children of the light; To make us, in the realms divine, Like thy own angels round thee shine. 5 All this for us thy love hath done, By this to thee our love is won; For this we tune our cheerful lays, And tell our thanks in songs of praise.
