Luke 2:46

• [Luk 2:46] Within The Father’s House

  Within the Father’s house The Son hath found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come. The doctors of the law Gaze on the wondrous Child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. Yet not to them is giv’n The mighty truth to know, To lift the fleshly veil which hides Incarnate God below. The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pondering hearts await The full epiphany. Lord, visit Thou our souls, And teach us by Thy grace Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace; Till from our darkened sight The cloud shall pass away, And on the cleansèd soul shall burst The everlasting day. Till we behold Thy face, And know, as we are known, Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One.

Luke 9:28

• [Luk 9:28] Chosen Three, On Mountain Height, The

  The chosen three, on mountain height, While Jesus bowed in prayer, Beheld His vesture glow with light, His face shine wondrous fair. And lo! with the transfigured Lord, Leader and seer they saw; With Carmel’s hoary prophet stood The giver of the law. From the low bending cloud above, Whence radiant brightness shone, Spake out the Father’s voice of love, “Hear My belovèd Son!” Lord, lead us to the mountain height; To prayer’s transfiguring glow; And clothe us with the Spirit’s might For grander work below.

• [Luk 9:28] For Ever Would We Gaze On Thee

  For ever we would gaze on Thee, O Lord, upon the Mount; With Moses and Elias see That light from Light’s own Fount; For ever with the chosen three Would stand upon that height, And in that blessèd company Be plunged in pure delight. For ever would we train the ear To that celestial Voice; In Thee, the Son of God, so near For evermore rejoice. Here would we pitch our constant tent, For ever here abide; And dwell in peace and full content, Dear Master, at Thy side. But no! not yet to man ’tis given To rest upon that height; ’Tis but a passing glimpse of Heav’n; We must descend and fight. Beneath the Mount is toil and pain; O Christ, Thy strength impart; Till we, transfigured, too, shall reign For ever where Thou art.

• [Luk 9:28] Image Of That Heavenly Light, An

  An image of that heavenly light, The goal the Church keeps ay in sight, Christ on the holy mount displays Where He outshines the sun’s bright rays. Let every age proclaimer be How, on this day, the chosen three With Moses and Elias heard The Lord speak many a gracious word. As witnesses to grace are nigh Those twain, the Law and Prophecy; And to the Son, from out the cloud, The Father’s record thunders loud. With garments whiter than the snows, And shining face, Lord Jesus shows What glory for those saints shall be Who joy in God with piety. The vision and the mystery Make faithful hearts beat quick and high, So on this solemn day of days The cry goes up of prayer and praise. O God the Father, God the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One, Vouchsafe to bring us, by thy grace, To see thy glory face to face.

Luke 23:46

• [Luk 23:46] And Now, Beloved Lord, Thy Soul Resigning

  And now, belovèd Lord, Thy Soul resigning, Into Thy Father’s arms with conscious will, Calmly, with reverend grace, Thy head inclining, The throbbing brow and laboring breast grow still. Freely Thy life Thou yieldest, meekly bending E’en to the last beneath our sorrows’ load, Yet strong in death, in perfect peace commending, Thy Spirit to Thy Father and Thy God. My Savior, in mine hour of mortal anguish, When earth grows dim, and round me falls the night, O breathe Thy peace, as flesh and spirit languish, At that dread eventide let there be light. To Thy dear cross turn Thou my eyes in dying; Lay but my fainting head upon Thy breast; Those outstretched arms receive my latest sighing; And then, oh! then, Thine everlasting rest. O love! o’er mortal agony victorious, Now is Thy triumph! now that cross shall shine To earth’s remotest age revered and glorious, Of suffering’s deepest mystery the sign. The present, past and future here are blending, Moment supreme in this world’s history, Mid darkness, opening graves, and mountains rending, New light is dawning on humanity.

• [Luk 23:46] Into Thy Gracious Hands I Fall

  Into Thy gracious hands I fall, And with the arms of faith embrace; O King of glory, hear my call! O raise me, heal me by Thy grace! Arm me with Thy whole armor, Lord, Support my weakness with Thy might; Gird on my thigh Thy conquering sword, And shield me in the threatening fight. From faith to faith, from grace to grace, So in Thy strength shall I go on, Till heaven and earth flee from Thy face, And glory end what grace begun.

• [Luk 23:46] Wide Open Are Thy Hands

  Wide open are Thy hands, Paying with more than gold The awful debt of guilty men, Forever and of old. Ah, let me grasp those hands, That we may never part, And let the power of their blood Sustain my fainting heart. Wide open are Thine arms, A fallen world to embrace; To take to love and endless rest Our whole forsaken race. Lord, I am sad and poor, But boundless is Thy grace; Give me the soul transforming joy For which I seek Thy face. Draw all my mind and heart Up to Thy throne on high, And let Thy sacred cross exalt My spirit to the sky. To these, Thy mighty hands, My spirit I resign; Living, I live alone to Thee, Dying, alone am Thine.
