It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-1876) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #303 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Mark 13:7-8 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to you
from heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled:
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel-sounds
the blessèd angels sing.
3 But with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long:
beneath the angels' hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong:
and warring humankind hears not
the love-song which they bring:
oh, hush the noise and still the strife
to hear the angels sing.
4 And you, beneath life's crushing load
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow,
look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing:
oh, rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when, with the ever-rolling years,
still dawns the Age of Gold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendours fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Angels Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

The Church’s One Foundation
Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: Glory to God #321 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Mark 13:27 First Line: The church's one foundation Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord.
She is his new creation
by water and the word.
From heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy bride.
With his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation:
one Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
this world sees her oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up: "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore:
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth has union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Topics: Atonement; The Church; Eternal Life; Hope; Reconciliation; Salvation; Unity Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshippers:
