Author: W. W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Rejoice ye sons of men! Your brightest praises yield! The everlasting Son See in the flesh revealed! The world's Redeemer comes to-day His own Redemption's price to pay. 2 Lo! Simeon's saintly arms The holy burden bear; He sees with raptured eye His true salvation there. The weary waiting now is past; The long-expected comes at last. 3 The agèd saint's embrace The blessèd mother saw, And on his words so strange She mused with silent awe. What conflict for her child is stored? And what for her this piercing sword? 4 O Saviour, in Thy courts We all our sins confess: But Thou didst once for us Fulfill all righteousness. Impure, unclean, oh, may we be, Presented pure and clean in Thee! 5 And when, O God made Man, Upon our waiting eye, In glorious might revealed, Salvation draweth nigh; In that great day Thy servants bless, And be "the Lord of Righteousness"! Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Purification Used With Tune: BEVAN

Thou art the Christ, O Lord

Author: W. W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 "Thou art the Christ, O Lord, The Son of God, most high!" Forever be adored, That Name in earth and sky. In which, tho' mortal strength may fail, The saints of God at last prevail! 2 Oh, surely he was blest, With blessedness unpriced, Who taught of God, confessed The Godhead in the Christ! For of Thy Church, Lord, Thou didst own Thy saint a true foundation-stone. 3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored! The bitter lesson learnt, That heart for Thee, O Lord, With triple ardor burnt. The cross he took he laid not down Until he grasped the martyr's crown. 4 Oh bright triumphant faith! Oh courage void of fears! Oh love, most strong in death! Oh penitential tears! By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall, And make us go where Thou shalt call. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Peter; Confession of Christ Used With Tune: BEVAN

Supported by the Word

Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Supported by the Word, Though in himself a worm, The servant of the Lord Can wondrous acts perform: Without dismay he boldly treads Where’er the path of duty leads. 2. The haughty king in vain, With fury on his brow, Believers would constrain To golden gods to bow: The furnace could not make them fear, Because they knew the Lord was near. 3. As vain was the decree Which charged them not to pray; Daniel still bowed his knee, And worshiped thrice a day: Trusting in God, he feared not men, Though threatened with the lion’s den. 4. Secure they might refuse Compliance with such laws, For what had they to lose, When God espoused their cause? He made the hungry lions crouch, Nor durst the fire His children touch. 5. The Lord is still the same, A mighty shield and tow’r, And they who trust His name Are guarded by His pow’r: He can the rage of lions tame, And bear them harmless through the flame. 6. Yet we too often shrink When trials are in view; Expecting we must sink, And never can get through. But could we once believe indeed, From all these fears we should be freed.

Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation Thou hast blest May well Thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by Thy care. For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.
