While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Author: Tate Hymnal: VoP1873 #163 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. 2 Fear not, said he,--for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind;-- Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 3 To you, in David's town, this day Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign:-- 4 The heavenly babe you there shall find, To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing-bands, And in a manger laid. 5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song:-- 6 All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin and never cease!

See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews

Author: Bache Hymnal: VoP1873 #165 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews, As tender tears from Jesus fell: My grateful heart the theme pursues, And on his love delights to dwell. 2 See how he loved! who traveled on, Teaching the doctrine from the skies; He bade disease and pain begone, And called the sleeping dead to rise. 3 See how he loved! who, firm yet mild, With patience bore the scoffing tongue; Though oft provoked, he ne'er reviled, Nor did his enemies a wrong. 4 See how he loved! who never shrank From toil or danger, pain or death; He all the cup of sorrow drank, And meekly yielded up his breath. 5 Such love shall we unmoved survey? Oh, may our breasts with ardor glow, To tread his steps, his laws obey, And thus the love of Jesus show! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Love of Jesus Scripture: Matthew 9:35-36

Jesus, lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #166 (1873) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, Oh, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on thee: Leave, ah! leave me not alone; Still support and comfort me: All my trust on thee is stayed; All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to pardon all my sin: Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; Freely let me take of thee: Spring thou up within my heart; Rise to all eternity. Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Jesus the Refuge Scripture: Isaiah 25:4

Oh, where is he that spake, And lepers from their pains are free, And slaves their fetters break? The lame and palsied freely rise, With joy the dumb do sing; And on the darkened, blinded eyes, Glad beams of morning spring! 2 Oh, where is he that trod the sea? Oh, where is he that spake, And demons from their victims flee, The dead from slumber wake? Here, here art thou, almighty Lord! Oh, speak to us once more, And let thy healing, quickening word Our ruined souls restore! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Miracles of Christ Scripture: Zechariah 9:9

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned upon the Savior's brow

Author: Stennett Hymnal: VoP1873 #168 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow. 2 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is he than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. 4 To him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, He saves me from the grave. 5 To heaven, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joy complete. 6 Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine.

Jesus, and didst thou condescend

Author: Beadley Hymnal: VoP1873 #169 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and didst thou condescend, When veiled in human clay, To heal the sick, the lame, the blind, And drive disease away? 2 Didst thou regard the beggar's cry, And give the blind to see? Jesus, thou Son of David, hear-- Have mercy, too, on me! 3 And didst thou pity mortal woe, And sight and health restore? Then pity, Lord! and save my soul, Which needs thy mercy more. 4 Didst thou regard thy servant's cry, When sinking in the wave? I perish, Lord! oh, save my soul! For thou alone canst save.

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Author: Denny Hymnal: VoP1873 #170 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world, The blessed Saviour passed: A mourner all his life was he, A dying Lamb at last. 2 That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place, Save only in the grave. 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross, with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed his brow with thorn? Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Man of Sorrows Scripture: Matthew 10:25

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Author: Gibbons Hymnal: VoP1873 #171 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were his works from day to day But miracles of power and grace, That spread salvation through our race? 2 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives, Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank. 3 But he, who marks from day to day, In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Saviour trod,-- The path to glory and to God.

When, like a stranger on our sphere

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #172 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When, like a stranger on our sphere, The lowly Jesus wandered here, Where'er he went, affliction fled, And sickness reared her fainting head. 2 The eye that rolled in irksome night, Beheld his face,--for God is light; The opening ear, the loosened tongue, His precepts heard, his praises sung. 3 With bounding steps the halt and lame To hail their great Deliverer came; O'er the cold grave he bowed his head, He spake the word, and raised the dead. 4 Despairing madness, dark and wild, In his inspiring presence smiled; The storm of horror ceased to roll, And reason lightened through the soul.
