Rise Up and Shine
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:11-14 First Line: Rise up and shine! Your light has come Lyrics: 1 Rise up and shine! Your light has come;
God's glory breaks like dawn.
For though the earth be cloaked in night
and gloom shrouds everyone,
yet over you the Lord will rise,
with glory gleaming clear,
till nations turn to seek your light
and humbled kings draw near.
2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night;
no more keep watch or guard.
You will be called God's holy hill,
the city of the Lord.
No sound of strife will plague your land,
nor harm besiege your ways;
"Salvation" will you name your walls,
and all your portals "Praise."
3 No more will you implore the sun
to shed by day its light,
nor will you need the changeful moon
to glisten through the night.
Your glory then will be your God,
whose light will never cease.
Rise up and shine! Your light has come
to give you joy and peace. Topics: Epiphany (season); Jesus Christ, Light; Light; The New Jerusalem; Christmas Used With Tune: PETER'S BROOK

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 843 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:12 First Line: O little town of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray.
Cast out our sin and enter in;
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel.

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Am I a soldier of the cross
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,940 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:10-13 Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause?
Or blush to speak his name?
2 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
3 Sure I must fight--if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord!
I'll bear the toil--endure the pain
Supported by thy word.
4 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
5 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Remission of Sins
Am I a soldier of the cross
Behold where, in a mortal form
Author: Enfield Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Behold where, in a mortal form,
Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.
3 Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found;
He washed their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each bleeding wound.
4 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn
Patient and meek he stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life:
He labored for their good.
5 In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,
With soul resigned, he bowed, and said,
Thy will, not mine, be done!
6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide;
His image may we bear:
Oh, may we tread his holy steps,
His joy and glory share.

The conquering love of Jesus
Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals Scripture: Titus 2:14 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace
Behold our helpless grief;
He saw, and--oh, amazing love!--
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
5 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told.

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
The bless'd and saving grace of God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Titus 2:11-14 Lyrics: 1 The bless'd and saving grace of God
Doth plainly now appear;
The Gospel truth's are understood,
By all who wish to hear.
2 Such light and knowledge as we need,
That is on us bestow'd,
That which enlightens us indeed,
To know the living God.
3 This grace that hath salvation brought,
It proves the saving means;
And thereby we are likewise taught,
To mortify our sins.
4 Ungodliness and worldly lust
They must be crucified,
And ev'ry base desire must
By christians be denied.
5 A holy godly life to live,
Must be our care and aim,
And for each blessing we receive
To praise the Saviour's name.
6 This saving grace affords us hope,
And knowledge, love and pow'r,
And we with confidence look up
To Jesus every more.
The bless'd and saving grace of God
Salvation, gratefully Commemorated
Author: Peacock Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Titus 2:14 First Line: With Angels join t' adore the name Lyrics: 1 With Angels join t' adore the name
Of him that bled and died,
And all his boundless grace proclaim,
Who justice satisfied.
2 What sorrows and what smarting pain,
With agonies unknown,
The blest Redeemer once sustain'd,
For crimes, but not his own!
3 His blood, the balm for all our grief,
The mourning sinner's ease;
His blood alone is our relief,
And man from vengeance frees.
4 Ye saints extol the heav'nly Lamb,
Who yielded up his breath,
To free us from the wrath divine,
And everlasting death.
5 Oh, when shall we that Saviour see,
Whom here by faith we love;
And praise him to eternity,
Around his throne above! Topics: Free, Complete, and Finished Salvation, ascribed unto the Just God, and the Saviour
Salvation, gratefully Commemorated
