Author: Martin Luther Appears in 110 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.

When Israel thro' the desert passed

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 92 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert passed, A fiery pillar went before, To guide them thro' the dreary waste, And lessen the fatigues they bore. 2 Such is Thy glorious Word, O God! 'Tis for our light and guidance giv'n; It sheds its lustre all abroad And points the path to bliss and heav'n. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers; It sets our wand'ring footsteps right, Displays Thy love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our hearts, Its doctrines are divinely true; While highest wisdom it imparts, It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favored lands that have this word, Ye saints who feel its saving power, Unite your tongues to praise the Lord And His redeeming grace adore!

In love still faithful to the end

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In love still faithful to the end, The Lord approved Himself our Friend, And granted in His last bequest, That which through faith gives peace and rest. 2 The night in which He was betrayed, He blessed the bread and cup, and said, Eat, drink, and named the given good: 'This is My Body and My Blood.' 3 Israel's Paschal-feast had long Kept waiting hope in Israel strong, The Lamb of God now gave, instead, Himself as heavenly drink and bread. 4 Keep ye this feast confessing Me, Whose death alone could make you free, Your souls and bodies, dearly bought, Yield not to sin: forget Me not! 5 O may we ne'er unworthy prove Of Jesus' all-enduring love! Nor doubt the Master's work and Word, And thus reject Him as the Lord. 6 His body, once as ransom given, Is proffered her as pledge of heaven; His blood, shed for us on the tree, Here cleanses from iniquity. 7 Lord help our faith to grasp the Word, That we in grace may near Thy board; And here discern what Thou dost give, Partake of life and ever live!

When Jordan hushed his waters still

Author: Thomas Campbell Appears in 74 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still, And silence slept on Zion's hill; When Salem's shepherds through the night Watched o'er their flocks by starry light; 2 Hark! from the midnight hills around, A voice of more than mortal sound In distant hallelujahs stole, Like music o'er the raptured soul. 3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame, The glorious hosts of Zion came; High heaven with songs of triumph rung, While angels struck their harps and sung.

Before the heavens were spread abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 42 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Before the heavens were spread abroad, From everlasting was the Word; With God he was, the Word was God! And must divinely be adored. 2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; His generation who can tell, Or count the number of his years? 3 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms; The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 4 The angels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
