Author: C. Sedulius Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, Let every heart awake and sing The Holy Child whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold! the world's Creator wears The form and fashion of our frame; Our very flesh our Maker shares, To save a fallen world He came. 3 For this how wondrously He wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of His grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word, Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary's breast Himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord most high, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to Thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: R. Heber Appears in 1,692 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's bright fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in their blindness Bow down to wood and stone. 3 Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to those benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o’er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign!

Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing

Author: Chr. Wordsworth Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here; May they all, Thy name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2 Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heavenly rest. 3 Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

God through Christ forgives offense; This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! for me He died; Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! I know full well Naught from me His love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part me now from Christ forever. God will be a sure defense; This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense, "Lord, Thou art my confidence." Topics: The Church Year Easter; The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: [Jesus lives! thy terrors now]
