Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Micah 6:6-8 First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Micah 6:6-9 First Line: Thus speaks the heathen: How shall man Lyrics: Thus speaks the heathen: How shall man the Pow’r Supreme adore? With what accepted off’rings come his mercy to implore? Shall clouds of incense to the skies with grateful odour speed? Or victims from a thousand hills upon the altar bleed? Does justice nobler blood demand to save the sinner’s life? Shall, trembling, in his offspring’s side the father plunge the knife? No: God rejects the bloody rites which blindfold zeal began; His oracles of truth proclaim the message brought to man. He what is good hath clearly shown, O favoured race! to thee; And what doth God require of those who bend to him the knee? 136 Thy deeds, let sacred justice rule; thy heart, let mercy fill; And, walking humbly with thy God, to him resign thy will.

O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
