There's a Song in the Air!

Author: Josiah G. Holland Hymnal: WinS1996 #91 (1996) Lyrics: 1 There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky! There's a mother's deep prayer, And a baby's low cry! And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 2 There's a tumult of joy Over the wonderful birth. For the virgin's sweet boy Is the Lord of the earth. Ay! The star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King! 3 In the light of that star Lie the ages impearled; And that song from afar Has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King! 4 We rejoice in the light, And we echo the song That comes down through the night From the heavenly throng. Ay! We shout to the lovely evangel they bring, And we greet in his cradle our Savior and King!

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow Hymnal: WinS1996 #98 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee Lyrics: 1 O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee: your life is still a summons to serve humanity, to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts unbowed. 2 O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back your holy sway; forbid false love of country, that turns us from your call who lifts above the nation the neighborhood of all. 3 Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, that knows not race nor station as boundaries of the mind; that learns to value beauty, in heart, or mind, or soul, and longs to see God's children as sacred, perfect, whole. 4 Stir up in us a protest against unneeded wealth; for some go starved and hungry who plead for work and health. Once more give us your challenge above our noisy day, and come to lead us forward along your holy way.
