Another Great Hymn

Another Great Hymn

"The Lord Almighty -- HE is the King of glory." Psalm 24:10

As many of us celebrate the Lord's Table today on this first Sunday in December, I thought I would share the lyrics to this hymn that has been floating around in my head for the past several days. They have taken it out of most hymnals. It tells the WHOLE redemption story:

Who Is He In Yonder Stall?

Who is He in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress, fasting in the wilderness>

Refrain

'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'This the LORD! The King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him, crown Him Lord of All!

Who is He the people bless for His words of gentleness?
Who is He to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing?

Who is He who stands and weeps at the grave where Lazurus sleeps?
Who is He the gathering throng greet with loud, triumphant song?

Lo! at midnight, who is He, prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree dies in grief and agony?

Who is He who, from the grave, comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that, from His throne, rules through all the world alone?

'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! The King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall, Crown HIM, crown HIM Lord of all!

God's WORD for US: Proverbs 6; Daniel 3-4; 1 John 5

Great Quote: The whole slop closet full of mildewed performances (which is all you have to offer) is simply your death; it is Jesus who is your life. If He refused to condemn you because your works were rotten, He certainly isn't going to flunk you because your faith isn't so hot. You can fail utterly, therefore, and still live the life of grace. You can fold up spiritually, morally, or intellectually and still be safe. Because at the very worst, all you can be is dead - and for Him who is the Resurrection and the Life, that just makes you His cup of tea. Robert Capon
