He who on earth as man was known

Hymnal: BW1870 #105 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known, And bore our sins and pains, Now seated on th'eternal throne, The God of glory reigns. 2 His hands the wheels of nature guide With an unerring skill, And countless worlds, extended wide, Obey His sovereign will. 3 While harps unnumber'd sound His praise In yonder world above, His saints on earth admire His ways, And glory in His love. 4 This land, through which His pilgrims go, Is desolate and dry; But streams of grace from Him o'erflow, Their thirst to satisfy. 5 When troubles like a burning sun, Beat heavy on their head, To this almighty Rock they run, And find a pleasing shade. 6 How glorious He! how happy they In such a glorious Friend! Whose love secures them all the way, And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ divine and human; Christ exalted in heaven and on earth; Exaltation of Christ; Head of the Church Languages: English

One there is above all others

Hymnal: BW1870 #108 (1870) Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God. 3 When He lived on earth abased, Friend of sinners was His name; Now, above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same. 4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above. Topics: Christ a Friend; Christ a Friend; Love Of Christ Languages: English

With joy we meditate the grace

Hymnal: BW1870 #109 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above: His heart is made of tenderness-- It melts with pitying love. 2 Touch'd with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For He has felt the same. 3 He, in the days of feeble flesh, Pour'd out His cries and tears; And in His measure, feels afresh What every member bears. 4 He'll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruised reed He never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest name. 5 Then let our humble faith address His mercy and His power; We shall obtain delivering grace In the distressing hour.

Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved name. Topics: Christ advent of Languages: English

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Hymnal: BW1870 #114 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Saviour did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breath'd a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Saviour to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, Oh, be our praises more!
