Open now thy gates of beauty

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #304 (1961) 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 Lord, my 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, O 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 my 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 live the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes. Amen.

Precious Bible, what a treasure

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #311 (1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Precious Bible, what a treasure, Does the word of God afford! All I want for life or pleasure, Food or medicine, shield or sword. Let the world account me poor, Having this, I want no more. 2. Food to which the world's a stranger, Here my hungry soul enjoys; Of excess there is no danger, Though it fills, it never cloys. On a dying Christ I feed, He is meat and drink indeed.

Once in royal David’s city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: Together in Song #312 (1999) 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, despised and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood, day by day like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 5 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, when his children gather round bright like stars, with glory crowned.
