God in Human Flesh Appearing

Author: Philipp Friedrich Hiller, 1699-1769 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: God, in human flesh appearing Lyrics: 1 God, in human flesh appearing, Took the children to His breast, Lambs with His green pastures cheering, Fitting for His heavenly rest; This is gentleness unbounded, This is lowliness of heart; All are by His love surrounded, None are ever bid depart. 2 Lord! I bless Thy mercy endless, For Thy pleasure is to bless; Me too, when my soul was friendless, Thou didst to Thy bosom press: For I, too, to Thee was given In the pure baptismal wave, There Thou mad'st me heir of heaven, Who hast died my soul to save. 3 Feeble is the love of mother, Father's blessings are as naught, When compared, my King and Brother, With the wonders Thou hast wrought; Thus it pleased Thy heavenly meekness; Pleasing also be my praise, Till my songs of earthly weakness Burst into celestial lays.

Jesus, Refuge of the Weary

Author: Jerome Savonarola, 1454-1498 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Refuge of the weary, Object of the Spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Saviour from the world above: Oh, how oft Thine eyes, offended, Gaze upon the sinner's fall! Yet upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see Thee wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet Thy sinless death has brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what Thy grace has taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning, With more fervent love for Thee; May our eyes be ever turning To Thy cross of agony; Till in glory parted never From the blessed Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified. Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: STILLA, JA, ALLT MERA STILLA

Sing hosanna, praise and glory, Our King, we bow before Thee. 5 Then go thy Lord to meet; Strew palm-leaves at His feet; Thy garments spread before Him, And honor and adore Him. Sing hosanna, praise and glory, Our King, we bow before Thee. 6 Thy heart now open wide, Bid Christ with thee abide; He graciously will hear thee, And be forever near thee. Sing hosanna, praise and glory, Our King, we bow before Thee. 7 E'en the babes with one accord With thee shall praise the Lord, And every Gentile nation Respond with exultation. Sing hosanna, praise and glory, Our King, we bow before Thee. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: AUF MEINEN LIEBEN GOTT Text Sources: Swedish Source, 16th Century

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo! the Gentiles hail thy waking; Herald of a morn divine, See the Days-pring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 Ah, how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Day-spring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before it fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun, For Thou art its light and gladness; For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light.

What is the best fortification? What sword can conquer every nation, And never once did break or bend? It is the Word that God did send. 2 What arrow fleet doth never yield? Doth break and puncture every shield? What two-edges sword through heart and feeling Doth pierce and soon the wound is healing; And makes the enemy a friend? It is the Word that God did send. 3 What, like a whirlwind in its might, With power of thunder to affright, Speaks to the sinner's heart and feeling, And causes to come o'er him stealing Thoughts of the awful judgment hour? It is God's holy Word of power. 4 What, whispering like the zephyrs low, Doth peace and happiness bestow, Doth wipe the tears and stop the sighing, And bringeth comfort to the dying; And light'neth sorrow's heavy load? It is the Word, the Word of God. Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: HVAD ÄR DEN KRAFT?
