Isaiah 52:7

• [Isa 52:7] Coming Of His Feet, The

  In the crimson of the morning, In the whiteness of the noon, In the amber glory of the day’s retreat; In the midnight robed in darkness, Or the gleaming of the moon, I listen for the coming of His feet. I have heard His weary footsteps By the Galilean sea, On the Temple’s marble pavement, on the street; Worn with weight of sorrow, falt’ring Up the slopes of Calvary, The sorrow of the coming of His feet. Down the minster aisles of splendor, From between the cherubim, Thro’ the wond’ring throngs with motion strong and fleet, Sounds His victor tread, with music, Of redemption’s choral hymn, The music of the coming of His feet. Comes He sandaled not with silver, Gilded not with woven gold, Weighted not with shimm’ring gems and odors sweet; But white-winged and shod with glory, In the Tabor-light of old, The glory of the coming of His feet. He is coming, O my spirit, With His everlasting peace, With His blessedness immortal and complete; He is coming, O my spirit, And His coming brings release, I listen for the coming of His feet.

  A perfect path of purest grace, Unblemished and complete, Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite, Pure, even to the feet. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk, In every aspect true, From the defilement all around, No taint of evil drew. No broken service, Lord was Thine, No change was in Thy way; Unsullied in Thy holiness, Thy strength knew no decay. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come, To yield Thyself to death; And consecration marked Thy path, And spoke in every breath. Morning by morning Thou didst wake, Amidst this poisoned air; Yet no contagion touched Thy soul, No sin disturbed Thy prayer. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course, To mark where Thou hast trod, And follow Thee with loving eye, Up to the throne of God.

  Trembling soul, beset by fears, “Thy God reigneth!” Look above, and dry thy tears: “Thy God reigneth!” Though thy foes with power assail, naught against thee shall prevail; Trust in Him—He’ll never fail: “Thy God reigneth, Thy God reigneth!” Sinful soul, thy debt is paid, “Thy God reigneth!” On the Lord thy sins were laid, “Thy God reigneth!” On the cross of Calvary, Jesus shed His blood for thee, From all sin to set thee free, Thy God reigneth, Thy God reigneth!” Seeking soul, to Jesus turn, “Thy God reigneth!” None that seek Him will He spurn, “Thy God reigneth!” Wandering sheep the Shepherd seeks and, when found, He ever keeps, For “He slumbers not nor sleeps,” “Thy God reigneth, Thy God reigneth!” Join, ye saints, the truth proclaim, “Thy God reigneth!” Shout it forth with glad acclaim, “Thy God reigneth!” Zion, wake! the morn is nigh; see it break from yonder sky; Loud and clear the watchmen cry: “Thy God reigneth, Thy God reigneth!” Church of Christ, awake, awake! “Thy God reigneth!” Forward then, fresh courage take: “Thy God reigneth!” Soon, descending from His throne, He shall claim thee for His own; Sin shall then be overthrown: “Thy God reigneth, Thy God reigneth!”

Luke 2:10

• [Luk 2:10] As On The Night Before

  As on the night before this happy morn, A blessèd angel unto shepherds told, Where in a stable He was poorly born, Whom nor the earth nor Heav’n of Heav’ns can hold. Thro’ Bethl’em rang this news at their return; Yea, angels sang that God with us was born; And they made mirth because we should not mourn, And they made mirth because we should not mourn. Their angel carols sing we then; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men. This favor Christ vouchsafèd for our sake; To buy us thrones, He in a manger lay; Our weakness took, that we His strength might take, And was disrobed, that He might us array; Our flesh He wore, our sins to wear away; Our curse He bore, that we escape it may; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; And wept for us that we might sing for aye; With angels, therefore, sing again; To God on high all glory be, For peace on earth bestoweth He, And showeth favor unto men.

  Away with our fears! The Godhead appears In Christ reconciled The Father of mercies in Jesus the Child. He comes from above, In manifest love, Desire of our eyes, The meek Lamb of God, in a manger He lies. Immanuel’s birth What triumph on earth! Yet could it afford No better a place for its heavenly Lord? The Ancient of Days Redeems a lost race: His glory comes down Self-humbled to carry us up to a crown. Made flesh for our sake, That we might partake The nature divine, Again in His image, His holiness shine.

Then let us believe, And gladly receive The tidings they bring Who publish to sinners their Savior and King. And while we are here, Our King shall appear, His Spirit impart, And form His full image of love in our heart.

  From church to church the bells’ glad tidings run: A virgin hath conceived, and borne a Son In Bethlehem. And angel hosts, the midnight of His birth, Sang “Glory be to God, and peace on earth,” In Bethlehem. “Now go we forth, and see this wondrous thing,” The shepherds said, “and seek the newborn King In Bethlehem.” Then Herod sought the royal Son to slay, Who rather should have to come to kneel and pray In Bethlehem. The star went leading on from east to west: The wise men followed, till they saw it rest In Bethlehem. Their frankincense and myrrh, and gold they bring, To hail the God, the Mortal, and the King In Bethlehem. With threefold gifts the Threefold God three praise, Who thus vouchsafed the sons of man raise, In Bethlehem.

• [Luk 2:10] From Heaven Above To Earth I Come

  From Heaven above 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. To you, this night, is born a Child Of Mary, chosen mother mild; This little Child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all your earth. ’Tis Christ our God, who far on high Had heard your sad and bitter cry; Himself will your Salvation be, Himself from sin will make you free. He brings those blessings, long ago Prepared by God for all below; Henceforth His kingdom open stands To you, as to the angel bands. These are the tokens ye shall mark, The swaddling clothes and manger dark; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the heavens and earth were made. Now let us all, with gladsome cheer Follow the shepherds, and draw near To see this wondrous gift of God, Who hath His only Son bestowed. Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes! Who is it in yon manger lies? Who is this Child so young and fair? The blessèd Christ-child lieth there. Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through Whom e’en wicked men are blest! Thou com’st to share our misery, What can we render, Lord, to Thee! 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! 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. 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. Thus hath it pleased Thee to make plain The truth to us poor fools and vain, That this world’s honor, wealth and might Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep, I too must sing, with joyful tongue, That sweetest ancient cradle-song— Glory to God in highest Heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given! While angels sing, with pious mirth, A glad New Year to all the earth.

• [Luk 2:10] From Highest Heaven, On Joyous Wing

  From highest Heaven, on joyous wing, I come to you good news to bring; Good news I bring, a plenteous store, Whereof my song shall tell you more. For unto you, this happy morn, Of virgin meek and pure, is born A holy Child, a gentle Boy, To be your bliss and chiefest joy. It is the Christ, our God indeed, The very help poor sinners need; He will Himself your Savior be, From sin and sorrow set you free. To you the blessedness He bears, Which God the Father’s love prepares, That in His heavenly kingdom blest, You may with us for ever rest. So mark ye well the signs I show, The swaddling bands, the manger low; There shall ye find the young Child laid, By whom the universe was made. Then let us all right merry be, And with the shepherds go and see The gift which God to us hath given, His own dear Son sent down from Heaven. Mark thou, my heart, look well mine eyes, What yonder in the manger lies! What Child is that so wondrous fair? The little Jesus lieth there. Welcome, thrice welcome, noble Guest! The sinner’s friend, the mourner’s rest; For coming thus to grief and me, How can I thank Thee worthily? Ah! mighty Lord, who madest all, How couldst Thou make Thyself so small, To lie upon the coarse dry grass, The food of humble ox and ass? And were the world ten times as wide, With gold and jewels beautified, It would be far too small to be A little cradle, Lord, for Thee? Thy silk and velvet are coarse hay, Thy swaddling bands the mean array, With which e’en Thou, a King so great, Art clad as with a robe of state. And thus, perhaps, it pleaseth Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That worldly honor, wealth, and might Are mean and worthless in Thy sight. Ah! Jesus, lay Thy gentle head, And make Thyself a clean, soft bed Here in the corner of my heart, That I and Thou may never part. So will I ever joyful be, And sing and dance right merrily, As mothers sing, the cradle nigh, Their sweetest, softest lullaby. Now praise we God on His high throne, Who giveth us His only Son! Such the good news the angels bring, Such the new year of which they sing.
