The Cherubic Hymn

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in His Hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.

The voice from Galilee

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad,
I found in Him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.

Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly

Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly,
For your joy is now begun;
Wondrous things our God hath done;
Tell abroad His goodness proudly,
Who our race hath honour'd thus
That he deigns to dwell with us.
Ponder well, that our salvation
Caused His wondrous Incarnation;
Let our hearts be overflowing,
Ceaseless praise on Him bestowing!

And he shall reign for ever and ever

Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious,
See "the Man of Sorrows" now;
From the fight return'd victorious,
Ev'ry knee to him shall bow:
Crown him, crown him;
Crowns become the victor's brow.

The Perseverence of the Saints

God my Saviour this hath spoken
(He is not a lying man,
Nor can e'er His word be broken;
Doubteth any that He can?),
He will keep me, He will keep me,
This the promise, proffered plain:
Saving grace will not be vain.

Was Gott thut, das ist wohlgethan (Updated)

Whate'er my God ordains is right,
Holy His will abideth;
I will be still whate'er He doth,
And follow where He guideth.
He is my God,
Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall,
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.

Discendi, Amor santo

Come down, O Love Divine,
Seek Thou this soul of mine,
And visit it with Thine own ardour glowing,
O Comforter, draw near,
Within my heart appear,
And kindle it, Thy holy flame bestowing.
