Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, 1672-1737; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #255 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty; Zion, let me enter there, Where my soul in joyful duty Waits for him who answers prayer. Oh, how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace! 2 Gracious God, I come before thee; Come thou also unto me. Where we find thee and adore thee, There a heav'n on earth must be. To my heart, oh, enter thou; Let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted; Here thy seed is duly sown. Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken; Let me keep thy gift divine, Howsoe'er temptations thicken; May thy Word still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in all strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee; Let thy will be done indeed. May I undisturbed draw near thee While thou dost thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows; Here is balm for all our woes.

Since Our Great High Priest, Christ Jesus

His is love beyond a brother’s, Costly, free, and knows no end. They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting love. 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: This was boundless love indeed: Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was His Name: Now, above all glory raiséd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 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: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #269 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall; with the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heav'n above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 4 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him; but in heaven, set at God’s right hand on high; there his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned.
