Christmas Bells

Author: Adam Geibel Hymnal: HSS1889 #16 (1889) First Line: Christmas bells are gaily ringing Refrain First Line: Glory, glory, glory, glory Lyrics: 1 Christmas bells are gaily ringing O’er the land triumphantly, Children’s voices gladly singing, ‘Tis our joyous jubilee. Now the waiting world rejoices That her promised Christ is born, In a stable, in a manger, On this holy Christmas morn. Refrain: Glory, glory, glory, glory, Glory be to God on high. 2 Shepherds in the field abiding Watching o’er their flocks by night, Saw a glorious heavenly vision Saw a star, so wondrous bright Heard a choir of angels singing, Peace on earth, goodwill to man Glory in the highest glory Christ is born at Bethlehem. [Refrain] 3 And thro’ all the list’ning ages, Comes to us the same refrain, As it came to ancient shepherds Watching there on Bethlehem’s plain. Christ is born the great Anointed, Born to save a world from sin, Born that we might live forever And at heav’ns gate enter in. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Christmas bells are gaily ringing]

Refrain: Once more we hail thee this sweet day of flowers, Happy our hearts for no clouds dim our way, How could we feel aught but thankful and happy, Sing Hallelujah this glad Children’s day. 2 Come, children now while the dew’s on the flowers, Let not the tempests darken your way; Gird on the armor and waste not the hours, Storm-clouds may threaten and tempt the delay; But when ‘tis over the skies how they’ll brighten And in the distance our Lord you shall see, He who’s above thee, forever will love thee, And He will make thy soul happy and free. [Refrain] 3 Let us then scatter sweet flowers in profusion, This day of all is the one we love best, And let us feel that the Earth’s no delusion, And when life closes, in Heav’n there is rest; So that when Jesus shall make up his jewels We’ll not be found with a burden of leaves, But when we’re done and have finished the sowing, Let us take home to Him bountiful sheaves. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Hither we hasten so joyful and happy]

The Sycamore Bough

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: HSS1889 #25 (1889) First Line: Upon an ancient sycamore Lyrics: 1 Upon an ancient sycamore A sturdy bough there grew, And foster’d myriads of leaves That hid itself from view. When winter came with angry breath, The bough was brown and bare; Gone were the summer-hearted leaves That once were nurtured there. 2 Thus with vain man. In summer days The world around him clings; It guiles his heart and o’er his faults A leafy mantle flings; It blinds him, till the bitter day Of pain and death comes on; And leaves him, then, to bear his woes Unaided and alone. 3 Not so the lowly man who walks The path the Jesus trod, Who daily learns to die; whose “life Is hid with Christ in God.” The world between his soul and God Can never intervene; In joy or sorrow, life or death, His hope is ever green. Tune Title: [Upon an ancient sycamore]

[Refrain] 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Hark, the sound of Holy voices]
