HERE is no name so sweet on earth, No name so dear in Heaven, As that, before His wondrous Birth, TO CHRIST the Saviour given.

We love to sing unto our King, And hail Him Blessed JESUS! For there's no word ear ever heard, So dear, so sweet as JESUS! 'Twas Gabriel first that did proclaim

To Mary, blessed Mother,

The Name which now and evermore
We praise above all other.

We love to sing, etc.

Then when He hung upon the Tree,
They wrote His Name above Him,
That all might see the reason we
For evermore must love Him.
We love to sing, etc.

And now although He reigns in Heaven,
From us He ne'er will sever;

He knows our needs, for us He pleads
His precious death for ever.

We love to sing unto our King,
And hail Him Blessed JESUS!
For there's no word ear ever heard,
So dear so sweet as JESUS! Amen.

CHRIST, the Prince of Glory,
How wonderful Thou art!
The vision of Thy beauty

Brings joy to every heart.
We sing Thy radiant splendour,
Thy truth and matchless worth,
O Light and bliss of Heaven,
O only hope of earth!

[Alternative Tunes Nos. 106, 215.]

From highest heaven Thou camest | With bitter scorn and malice
In lowliness to live,
And for Thy guilty children

Thy precious life to give.
Who heard Thy call and followed,
The LORD of Life possessed,
The sad and heavy-laden
In Thee found perfect rest.

The choirs of Heaven exalt Thee,
They chant their anthems blest,
While hymns of adoration

Rise from the Saints at rest.
Earth's melodies are blended
With that celestial strain,
For life with Thee is gladness,
And death with Thee is gain.

Men paid Thy charity;
Upon the Cross they nailed Thee

And left Thee there to die.
But by Thy death and passion
Thy Holy Church was spread;
On every tribe and nation

The Gospel light was shed.
We pray Thee, Prince of Glory,
That when we're called to die,
Thy Angel-guards may bear us

To Thy bright home on high;
To see Thine unveiled beauty,
Thy majesty adore,

And through the countless ages

To praise Thee more and more. Amen.

[Alternative Tunes No. 238, 265.]

DIVINEST Childhood of my Saviour dear,
How in very weakness does His strength appear!

Hither speed, ye Angels, on exultant wing,

View in this poor manger Heaven's eternal King.

Does not this sweet Infant seem to thee to say-
"Cast thy heartless trusting in thyself away;
Know that if thou learn not to resemble Me,
Happiness celestial ne'er can fall to thee.

"Come, ye little children, unto Me draw nigh,
For the pure and childlike dwell with Me on high,
Who in love and meekness, from all malice free,
Serve their dear Redeemer with simplicity.

"I, Who pride and greatness evermore abase,
On the poor and lowly lavish all My grace;
And to humble spirits heavenly things reveal,

Which My secret judgments from the proud conceal." Amen.

SIR J. STAINER.

A-men.

[Alternative Tune No. 136.]

CHRs a child did dwell,

HRIST, Who once amongst us

Is the children's Saviour,

And He loves us well: If we keep our promise

Made Him at the Font, He will be our Shepherd,

And we shall not want.
There it was they laid us

In those tender Arms,
Where the lambs are carried
Safe from all alarms;
If we trust His promise
He will let us rest
In His Arms for ever,

Leaning on His Breast.
Though we may not see Him
For a little while,

We shall know He holds us,
Often feel His smile;

Death will be to slumber
In that sweet embrace,
And we shall awaken
To behold His Face.
He will be our Shepherd
After as before,
By still heavenly waters

Lead us evermore;
Make us lie in pastures
Beautiful and green,
Where none thirst or hunger,
And no tears are seen.

JESUS, our good Shepherd,
Laying down Thy life,
Lest Thy sheep should perish
In the cruel strife.
Help us to remember

All Thy love and care, Trust in Thee and love Thee Always, everywhere. Amen.
