  A day, a day of glory! A day that ends our woe! A day that tells of triumph Against our vanquished foe! Yield, summer’s brightest sunrise, To this December morn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the Child be born! With Gloria in excelsis Archangels tell their mirth: With Kyrie elëyson Men answer upon earth: And angels swell the triumph, And mortals raise the horn, Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the Child be born. He comes, His throne the manger; He comes, His shrine the stall; The ox and ass His courtiers, Who made and governs all: The “House of Bread” His birth-place, The Prince of wine and corn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the Child be born. Then bar the gates, that henceforth None thus may passage win, Because the Prince of Israel Alone hath entered in: The earth, the sky, the ocean His glorious way adorn: Lift up your gates, ye princes, And let the Child be born.

O’er all the sons of human race He shines with a superior grace; Love from His lips divinely flows, And blessings all His state compose. Dress Thee in arms, most mighty Lord, Gird on the terror of Thy sword, In majesty and glory ride, With truth and meekness at Thy side. Thine anger, like a pointed dart, Shall pierce the foes of stubborn heart; Or words of mercy, kind and sweet, Shall melt the rebels at Thy feet. Thy throne, O God, for ever stands, Grace is the scepter in Thy hands; Thy laws and works are just and right, Justice and grace are Thy delight.

His right hand holdeth me; For me He truly careth, My burdens ever beareth, Wherever I may be. When man’s help and affection Shall unavailing prove, God grants me His protection And shows His power and love. He helps in every need, From sin and shame redeems me, From chains and bonds reclaims me, Yea, e’en from death I’m freed. God shall be my Reliance In sorrow’s darkest night; Its dread I bid defiance When He is at my right. I unto Him commend My body, soul, and spirit— They are His own by merit— All’s well then at the end. Oh, praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; Oh, blest the hour whenever To Him our thoughts can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. Yea, when the world shall perish With all its pride and power, Whatever worldlings cherish Shall vanish in that hour. But though in death they make The deepest grave our cover, When there our sleep is over, Our God will us awake. What though I here must suffer Distress and trials sore, I merit ways still rougher; And yet there is in store For me eternal bliss, Yea, pleasures without measure, Since Christ is now my Treasure, And shall be evermore.

• [Psa 48:14] God Makes A Path

  God makes a path, provides a guide, And feeds in wilderness; His glorious Name, while breath remains, O that I may confess. Lost many a time, I had no guide, No house but hollow tree; In stormy winter night, no fire, No food, no company. In Him I found a house, a bed, A table, company; No cup so bitter but made sweet, Where God shall sweetening be.

  God of compassion, in mercy befriend us; Giver of grace for our needs all availing; Wisdom and strength for each day do Thou send us, Patience untiring and courage unfailing. Wandering and lost, Thou hast sought us and found us, Stilled our rude hearts with Thy Word consoling, Wrap now Thy peace, like a mantle, around us, Guarding our thoughts and our passions controlling. How shall we stray, with Thy hand to direct us, Thou Who the stars in their courses art guiding? What shall we fear, with Thy power to protect us, We who walk forth in Thy greatness confiding?

  Holy Spirit, faithful Guide, ever near the Christian’s side; Gently lead us by the hand, pilgrims in a desert land. Weary souls fore’er rejoice, while they hear that sweetest voice, Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come, follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” Ever present, truest Friend, ever near Thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, groping on in darkness drear. When the storms are raging sore, hearts grow faint and hopes give o’er. Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come, follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.” When our days of toil cease, waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, wondering if our names are there; Wading deep the dismal flood, pleading naught but Jesus’ blood, Whispering softly, “Wanderer, come, follow Me, I’ll guide thee home.”

  I little see, I little know, Yet I can fear no ill; He who hath guided me till now Will be my leader still. No burden yet was on me laid Of trouble or of care, But He my trembling step hath stayed, And given me strength to bear. I know not what beyond may lie, But look, in humble faith, Into a larger life to die, And find new birth in death. He will not leave my soul forlorn; I still must find Him true, Whose mercies have been new each morn And every evening new. Upon His providence I lean, As lean in faith I must; The lesson of my life hath been A heart of grateful trust. And so my onward way I fare With happy heart and calm, And mingle with my daily care The music of my psalm.

  You are traveling on a railway, Winding through this maze of life, Climbing up the hills of trial, Into vales of sin and strife; But there’s one who knows the journey, He can surely take you through; Jesus knows the way to glory, He will safely carry you. Refrain Jesus, Savior, blessèd Keeper, Guide us on to Heav’n above; Where the saints throughout the ages Will unite in songs of love. Curves will meet you as you journey, You will meet with wrecks of time; You will cross the bridge of sadness, You will reach some heights sublime. Never fear, for Christ is with you, And He knows the way so plain; Keep your eye on your dear Savior, He will banish fear and pain. Refrain Wind and rain some days will hinder, Skies will darken, sickness come; You will want to travel freely To a friend or heav’nly home; Put your trust in Christ the Savior, Well He knows this line and rail; He will never leave you lonely For His love will never fail. Refrain You will cross the bridge of mercy And the river of delight, You will climb the hills supernal, You shall gain the hills of light; Soon the home so freely given Will be seen on “glory’s shore”; You have reached the heav’nly station, Ne’er to leave forevermore.

  Immortal love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never ebbing sea! Our outward lips confess the name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. Blow, winds of God, awake and blow The mists of earth away: Shine out, O Light divine, and show How wide and far we stray. We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown. But warm, sweet, tender, even yet, A present help is He; And faith still has its Olivet, And love its Galilee. The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life’s throng and press, And we are whole again. Through Him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame, The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His Name. O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. The letter fails, the systems fall, And every symbol wanes; The Spirit over brooding all, Eternal Love remains.

Behold God’s truth and grace displayed, For He has faithful cov’nant made, And He has sworn that David’s Son Shall ever sit upon his throne. “For him My mercy shall endure, My cov’nant made with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heav’ns remain.” The heavens shall join in glad accord To praise Thy wondrous works, O Lord; Thy faithfulness shall praise command Where holy ones assembled stand.

O Thou Jehovah, God of hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines. The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein, are Thine; The whole creation’s wondrous frame Proclaims its Maker’s glorious Name.

• [Psa 89:1] When All Thy Mercies, O My God

  When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love and praise. Thy Providence my life sustained, And all my wants redressed, While in the silent womb I lay, And hung upon the breast. To all my weak complaints and cries Thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned To form themselves in prayer. Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From Whom those comforts flowed. When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, It gently cleared my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be feared than they. O how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But thou canst read it there. Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss Hath made my cup run o’er; And, in a kind and faithful Friend, Hath doubled all my store. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; For, oh, eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise!

A thousand ages, in their flight, With Thee are as a fleeting day; Past, present, future, to Thy sight At once their various scenes display. But our brief life’s a shadowy dream, A passing thought that soon is o’er, That fades with morning’s earliest beam, And fills the musing mind no more.

  Through every age, eternal God, Thou art our rest, our safe abode; High was Thy throne ere Heav’n was made, Or earth Thy humble footstool laid. Long hadst Thou reigned ere time began, Or dust was fashioned to a man; And long Thy kingdom shall endure When earth and time shall be no more. But man, weak man, is born to die, Made up of guilt and vanity; Thy dreadful sentence, Lord, was just, Return, ye sinners, to your dust. A thousand of our years amount Scarce to a day in Thine account; Like yesterday’s departed light, Or the last watch of ending night. Death, like an overflowing stream, Sweeps us away; our life’s a dream, An empty tale, a morning flower, Cut down and withered in an hour. Our age to seventy years is set; How short the time! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan than live. But O how oft Thy wrath appears, And cuts off our expected years! Thy wrath awakes our humble dread; We fear the power that strikes us dead. Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, Till a wise care of piety Fit us to die, and dwell with Thee.
