While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night

Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,099 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town, this day, Is born of David's line A Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: The heav'nly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swaddling-clothes And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph,--and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Addressed their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will henceforth from Heav'n to men Begin and never cease."

All Nature's Works His Praise Declare

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All nature’s works His praise declare, to whom they all belong; There is a voice in every star, in every breeze a song. Sweet music fills the world abroad with strains of love and power; The stormy sea sings praise to God, the thunder and the shower. 2. To God the tribes of ocean cry, and birds upon the wing; To God the powers that dwell on high their tuneful tribute bring. Like them, let us the throne surround, with them loud chorus raise, While instruments of loftier sound assist our feeble praise. 3. Great God, to Thee we consecrate our voices and our skill; We bid the pealing organ wait to speak alone Thy will. Lord, while the music round us floats may earth born passions die; O grant its rich and swelling notes may lift our souls on high! Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever-present aid, and therefore though the earth remove, we will not be afraid; though hills amidst the seas be cast, though foaming waters roar, yea, though the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord Most High has his abode. Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand, for God will be her early help, when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, but when his voice was heard, the troubled earth was stilled to peace before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; come, see what desolation great he on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth he causes war to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, o'er all exalted high; the subject nations of the earth my name shall magnify." The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure, the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure.

Whom Jesus’ blood doth sanctify, Need neither sin nor fear; Hid in our Savior’s hand we lie, And laugh at danger near. His guardian hand doth hold, protect, And save, by ways unknown, The little flock, the saints elect, Who trust in Him alone. 2. Our prophet, priest, and king, to Thee We joyfully submit; And learn, in meek humility, Our lesson at Thy feet. Spirit and life Thy words impart, And blessings from above; And drop, in every listening heart The manna of Thy love. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: In the Wesley manuscripts

O Thou, Who by a Star Didst Guide

Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay: Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part, But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. O Saviour, give us then Thy grace To make us pure in heart, That we may see Thee face to face, Hereafter as Thou art. Amen.
