Hark! Eastward And Westward

Author: Harriet M. Kimball Meter: 12.11.12.11 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Hark! eastward and westward the message is winging Lyrics: 1 Hark! eastward and westward the message is winging; The Promised of ages, Messiah, is born! Oh, haste, let us find Him! all Heaven is singing; The choirs angelic proclaiming the morn! Where sleeps He in purple, surrounded with splendor, This King out of Heaven forsaking His throne? The virgin, His mother, what monarchs attend her, To whom the Almighty such favor hath shown? 2 Can this be His dwelling, His cradle, this manger? Can this be His mother, this maiden so meek? Comes He to His own in this guise of a stranger Unsheltered and friendless— the Prince whom we seek? Behold where He lieth, in Bethlehem hidden! The Son of the Highest, most lowly His birth! And no one to welcome or serve Him is bidden Who counteth as dust all the pomp of the earth. 3 Oh! vast condescension! Almighty, eternal, He stoops to the lowest, by seraphs adored; And, One with His Father in glory supernal, Our flesh He hath taken and hath not abhorred! His name is called Jesus. Yes, Thou art our Jesus, Sweet Babe whose appearing the angels proclaim! From sin and from death thou art come to release us; Thou bearest for us that adorable name!

We Hear, Lord, Your Promise

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We hear, Lord, your promise: "My grace is sufficient!" Lyrics: We hear, Lord, your promise: “My grace is sufficient!” Those few simple words brought such comfort to Paul; And though every thorn in the flesh may be different We find in your message good news for us all. Your strength is made perfect in times of our weakness, When hardships assail us and pain comes along. For you dwell within us and we learn your goodness— And when we are weakest, in you we are strong. Through all that we suffer, your grace is a blessing; O Christ, you are with us to carry us through. What hope you still offer when life is distressing! You heal and forgive us, so we turn to you. When pain is so great that we hardly can bear it, We call on your name and we hear your love’s song; You send us the comfort and peace of your Spirit, And when we are weakest, in you we are strong.

On This Night, Most Holy

Author: R. Michael Cullinan Meter: 12.11.12.11 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: On this night, most holy, in circumstance lowly Lyrics: 1. On this night, most holy, in circumstance lowly, Unfolded the story which prophets foretold. Though heav’ns could not hold Him, Mary’s arms enfold Him, Holding to her bosom this Child who is God! The virgin is nursing this wondrous infant King— The Word that was made flesh to end our despair. While angels adore Him, shepherds kneel before Him And kings from the east follow after His star. 2. To Bethlehem hasten! See Jesus awaken! The stable is glowing with this Light of lights! Come hear the great story of God’s crowning glory: The Savior Incarnate—God with us unites. Now church bells are ringing and Christians are singing While off’ring their gifts in devotion and love. Your people are waiting and anticipating The day You return from the heavens above.

It's peace that we live out with courage and daring; It's patience, for we know that we have sinned, too. It's kindness in all things and generous giving; It's faithfulness seeking to follow your way. It's gentleness, Lord, and it's self-controlled living; Now make us more fruitful in these things, we pray. Topics: Holy Spirit; Life in Christ Used With Tune: ASH GROVE

A Wedding Took Place

Author: Susan Peterson Meter: 12.11.12.11 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A wedding took place in the village of Cana Lyrics: 1. A wedding took place in the village of Cana, And Jesus, His mother, and followers all came. The wine was exhausted, and Mary informed Him, They have no more wine—this would surely bring shame. Dear woman, He answered, why do you involve Me? My time to be recognized has not yet come. His mother then said to the servants there waiting, Whatever He tells you, now let it be done. 2. Six water jars stood there for ritual washing, Each holding then full twenty gallons or more. He said to the servants, Now fill them with water. They filled them brimful; there was no room for more. Then Jesus instructed, Take some to the master. The water had turned into wine—none knew how. On tasting, the master exclaimed in amazement, The choicest and best wine you’ve saved until now! 3. When Jesus turned water to wine there in Cana, This was the first miracle He’d ever done. His glory He thus did reveal to the people, And as a result, His disciples were won. Lord, may I be like them, believing You fully. And like the stone water jars, may I e’er be, Filled up to the brim with Your transforming Spirit. Reveal now Your glory to others through me.
