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!
Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Let the earth now praise the Lord
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #135 (1898) Topics: TheChurch Year Advent; TheChurch Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 Let the earth now praise the Lord,
Who hath truly kept His word,
And the sinner's Help and Friend
Now at last to us doth send.
2 What the fathers most desired,
What the prophets' heart inspired,
What they longed for many a year,
Stands fulfilled in glory here.
3 Abram's promised great reward,
Zion's Helper, Jacob's Lord,
Him of twofold race behold,
Truly come, as long foretold.
4 Welcome, O my Saviour, now!
Hail! my portion, Lord, art Thou!
Here, too, in my heart, I pray,
Oh, prepare Thyself a way!
5 And when Thou dost come again,
As a glorious king to reign,
I with joy may see Thy face,
Freely ransomed by Thy grace. Languages: English Tune Title: LET THE EARTH NOW PRAISE THE LORD

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.

Pure in heart and act abide,
Praise to Him and glory giving.
Freely God doth aid dispense;
This shall be my confidence.

Naught from me His Love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor powers of hell,
Part me now from Christ forever.
God will be a sure defence:
This shall be my confidence.

But the gate of Life immortal;
This shall calm my trembling breath,
When I pass its gloomy portal.

Thou Prince of life! Thou Fount of grace!
With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing;
Praise, honor, thanks, to Thee we bring.
2 E’er since the world began to be,
How many a heart hath longed for Thee!
And Thou, O long expected Guest,
Hast come at last to make us blest!
3 Now art Thou here: we know Thee now;
In lowly manger liest Thou:
A child, yet makest all things great;
Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state.
4 Now fearless I can look on Thee:
From sin and grief Thou set'st me free:
Thou bearest wrath, Thou conquerest death,
Fear turns to joy Thy glance beneath.

I am Thy member, wholly Thine;
And in Thy Spirit’s strength would still
Serve Thee according to Thy will.

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. Languages: English Tune Title: LONGING FOR HEAVEN
Days and moments quickly flying
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

Kneeling in her lowly cell,

To the fallen sons of earth,

First He tasted here below.

Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved,
Bursts his fetters, and is saved.

When, repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes;

Suffered once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn litany!

By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress,
In the savage wilderness;
By the dread mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's power;
Turn, O turn a favoring eye,
Hear our solemn litany!

By thine agony of prayer,
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn,
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn litany!
4 By Thy deep expiring groan,
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the vault, whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God;
O, from earth to heaven restored,
Mighty, reascended Lord,

Of our solemn litany! Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT THEE TO THY GOD, MY SOUL

Made true man, our Elder Brother,
Was crucified by sinful men,
And raised by God to life again.

Keep in unity of spirit;
Sins are truly here forgiven
Through the blest Redeemer's merit;
All flesh shall rise again, and we
Shall live with God eternally.
