O thou mild, pacific Prince ; Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins : By thy all -restoring merit, Every burden'd soul release ; Every weary, wandering spirit Guide into thy perfect peace. Sufferings, fyc, of Christ. DOiJ " Immanuel, God with us" 1 r^ LORY be to God on high, ^J And peace on earth descend ; God comes down, he bows the sky, And shows himself our Friend : God the' Invisible appears ! God, the blest, the great I AM, Sojourns in this vale of tears, And Jesus is his Name. 2 Him the angels all adored, Their Maker and their King ; Tidings of their humble Lord They now to mortals bring. Emptied of his majesty, Of his dazzling glories shorn, Being's Source begins to be, And God himself is born ! 3 See the' eternal Son of God A mortal Son of man ; Dwelling in an earthly clod, Whom heaven cannot contain ! Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this ; See the Lord of earth and skies ; Humbled to the dust He is, And in a manger lies. 4 We, the sons of men, rejoice, The Prince of Peace proclaim ; With heaven's host lift up our voice, And shout Immanuel's Name : Knees and hearts to him we bow ; Of our flesh and of our bone, Jesus is our Brother now, And God is all our own. OOU Incarnation, HYMN 608. 6-8's. Christ the Light of the TVorld. 1 CTUPENDOUS height of heavenly love ^ Of pitying tenderness divine ; It brought the Saviour from above, It caused the springing day to shine ; The Sun of Righteousness to' appear, And gild our gloomy hemisphere. 2 God did in Christ himself reveal, To chase our darkness by his light, Our sin and ignorance dispel, Direct our wandering feet aright ; And bring our souls, with pardon blest, To realms of everlasting rest. 3 Come, then, O Lord, thy light impart, The faith that bids our terrors cease ; Into thy love direct our heart, Into thy way of perfect peace ; And cheer the souls, of death afraid, And guide them through the dreadful shade. 4 Answer thy mercy's whole design, My God incarnated for me ; My spirit make thy radiant shrine,
