Six 6's [1032]Old One Hundred Twentieth: Thomas Este, Psalmes, 1592 John Ellerton, 1880 Hail to the Lord who comes, Comes to his temple gate; Not with his angel host, Not in his kingly state; No shouts proclaim him nigh, No crowds his coming wait; But, borne upon the throne Of Mary's gentle breast, Watched by her duteous love, In her fond arms at rest: Thus to his Father's house He comes, the heavenly Guest. Hail to the great First-born Whose ransom price they pay! The Son, before all worlds; The Child of man, today; That he might ransom us Who still in bondage lay. O Light of all the earth, Thy children wait for thee! Come to thy temples here, That we, from sin set free, Before thy Father's face May all presented be! Amen. |
