Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #258 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: TheChurch Year The Passion; TheChurch Year Palm Sunday; TheChurch Year Ascension Lyrics: 1 Hail, Thou once despised Jesus! Hail, Thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us, Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, Thou agonizing Saviour, Bearer of our sin and shame! By Thy merit we find favor; Life is given through Thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our-sins on Thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made. All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood: Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heavenly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Highest praises, without ceasing, Right it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, All your sweetest, noblest lays, Help to sing our Saviour's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Languages: English Tune Title: MIGHTY LORD, VICTORIOUS SAVIOUR!

The Saviour comes! no outward pomp

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #93 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: TheChurch Year The Passion; TheChurch Year Palm Sunday Lyrics: 1 The Saviour comes! no outward pomp Bespeaks His presence nigh; No earthly beauty shines in Him To draw the carnal eye. 2 Rejected and despised of men, Behold a Man of woe! And grief His close companion still Through all His life below! 3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours, Ours were the woes He bore; Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul With bitter anguish tore. 4 We held Him as condemned of heaven, An outcast from His God; While for our sins He groaned, He bled, Beneath His Father's rod. 5 His sacred blood hath washed our souls From sin's polluting stain; His stripes have healed us, and His death Revived our souls again. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray In ruin’s fatal road; On Him were our transgressions laid; He bore the mighty load. 7 He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiven; He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in heaven.

God will be a sure defence: This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal.

Days and moments quickly flying

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #152 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: TheChurch Year New Year Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead; Oh, how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, oh, wake each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice! 3 Mark me whither we are wending; Ponder how we soon must go To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. 4 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies: For the bygone years retreating, Pardon grant, and make us wise; 5 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin; Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy holy rest we win.

From highest heaven to earth I come

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #12 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: TheChurch Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 From highest heaven to earth I come To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing: 2 To you this night is born a Child Of Mary, chosen virgin mild; This little child of lowly birth Shall be the joy of all the earth. 3 'Tis Christ, our God and Lord, is born, To comfort those who weep and mourn; He will Himself your Saviour be, From all your sins will set you free. 4 To you the blessedness He bears, Which God the Father's love prepares, That, in His heavenly kingdom blest, You may with us forever rest. 5 These are the tokens ye shall mark: The swaddling clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the infant laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. 6 Then let us all with gladsome cheer The shepherds follow, and draw near To see the wondrous gift of God, Who hath His only Son bestowed. 7 Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! Who is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child so young and fair? Dear little Jesus lieth there. 8 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn, Whose love did not the sinner scorn! In my distress Thou comest to me; What thanks shall I return to Thee? 9 Ah Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must choose Thy infant bed Where ass and ox but lately fed! 10 Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou, King, so rich and great, As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state. 12 And thus, dear Lord, it pleaseth Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That all the world's wealth, honor, might, Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 O dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep; I too must raise with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Praise God upon His heavenly throne, Who gave to us His only Son! For this His hosts, on joyful wing, A blest New Year of mercy sing. Languages: English Tune Title: FROM HIGHEST HEAVEN
