Since O'er Thy Footstool Here Below

Author: William A. Mühlenberg Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Since o’er Thy footstool here below Lyrics: 1 Since o’er Thy footstool here below Such radiant gems are strewn; O, what magnificence must glow, Great God, about Thy throne! So brilliant here these drops of light— There the full ocean rolls, how bright! 2 If night’s blue curtain of the sky— With thousand stars in-wrought, Hung like a royal canopy With glittering diamonds fraught— Be, Lord, Thy temple’s outer veil, What splendor at the shrine must dwell! 3 The dazzling sun at noonday hour— Forth from his flaming vase Flinging o’er earth the golden shower Till vale and mountain blaze— But shows, O Lord, one beam of Thine; What, then, the day where Thou dost shine! 4 O, how shall these dim eyes endure That noon of living rays! Or how our spirits, so impure, Upon Thy glory gaze! Anoint, O Lord, anoint our sight, And fit us for that world of light. Used With Tune: MAGNIFICENCE Text Sources: Episcopal Register, 1824

'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime

Author: Jean de Brébeuf, 1593-1649; Jesse E. Middleton, 1872-1960 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Refrain First Line: Jesus you king is born! Lyrics: 1 ’Twas in the moon of wintertime when all the birds had fled, that God the Lord of all the earth sent angel choirs instead; before their light the stars grew dim, and wand'ring hunters heard the hymn: Refrain: Jesus your king is born! Jesus is born, in excelsis gloria! 2 Within a lodge of broken bark the tender babe was found; a ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapped his beauty round; but as the hunter braves drew nigh, the angel song rang loud and high: [Refrain] 3 The earliest moon of wintertime is not so round and fair as was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there. The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. [Refrain] 4 O children of the forest free, the angel song is true; the holy child of earth and heav'n is born today for you. Come, kneel before the radiant boy, who brings you beauty, peace, and joy. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Songs for Children; Christmas Used With Tune: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Shine forth, O new Jerusalem! O Zion, shout with glee! For now the glory of the Lord Is risen upon thee; O mother pure of God’s own Son, Rejoice—His victory is won! O dear and sweetest voice divine, O Christ, Thou wilt befriend, And lead Thy people safely on E’en to their journey’s end; Thy faithful people hear Thy voice, And in that steadfast hope rejoice. O Christ, our sacred Paschal feast, The Word, the might of God,— His wisdom most ineffable By Thee is shed abroad; O may we feast on Thee for aye In Thy blest realm of endless day.

Who Keepeth Not God's Word

Author: Christian F. Gellert; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Who keepeth not God's Word, yet saith Lyrics: 1. Who keepeth not God’s Word, yet saith, I know the Lord, is wrong; In him is not that blessèd faith Through which the truth is strong; But he who hears and keeps the Word, Is not of this world, but of God. 2. The faith His Word hath caused to shine Will kindle love in thee; More wouldst thou know of things divine, Deeper thy love must be; True faith not only gives thee light, But strength to love and do the right. 3. Jesus hath washed away our sin, And we are children now; Who feels such hope as this within, To evil cannot bow; Rather with Christ all scorn endure, So we be like our maker pure! 4. For he doth please the Father well Who simply can obey; In him the love of God doth dwell Who steadfast keeps His way; A daily active life of love, Such fruits a living faith must prove. 5. He is in God, and God in him, Who still abides in love; ’Tis love that makes the cherubim Obey and praise above; For God is love, the loveless heart Hath in His life and joy no part.
