To us the promised Child is born, to us the Son is given; him shall the tribes of earth obey, and all the hosts of heaven. 4. His name shall be the Prince of Peace for evermore adored, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Mighty God and Lord. 5. His power increasing still shall spread, his reign no end shall know; justice shall guard his throne above, and peace abound below. Topics: Epiphany Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Used With Tune: DUNDEE

Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 264 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad The longer to obey; If short, no laborer is sad, To end this toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; And he that to God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing my Savior's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small; The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.

Shout To The Lord, And Let Our Joys

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shout to the Lord, and let our joys Throughout the nations run; Exulting skies, resound the noise Beyond the rising sun. 2 Thee, mighty God, our souls admire, To Thee glad voices sing, And join with the celestial choir To praise th’eternal King. 3 Thy power the whole creation rules, And on the starry skies Sits smiling at the weak designs Thine envious foes devise. 4 Thy scorn derides their feeble rage, And, with an awful frown, Flings vast confusion on their plots, And shakes their Babel down. 5 Their secret fires in caverns lay, And we the sacrifice; But gloomy caverns strove in vain To ’scape all-searching eyes. 6 Their dark designs were all revealed, Their treasons all betrayed: Praise to the God that broke the snare Their cursed hands had laid. 7 In vain the busy sons of hell Still new rebellions try, Their souls shall pine with envious rage, And vex away and die. 8 Almighty grace defends our land From their malicious power; So let us in united songs Almighty grace adore.

They marked the footsteps that he trod, his zeal inspired their quest, and following their incarnate God, they reached the promised rest. 4. Our glorious Leader claims our praise for his own pattern given; while the long cloud of witnesses show the same path to heaven.
