While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,099 hymnals First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "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:
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the angel. Suddenly
appeared a shining throng
of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."

When God of old came down from heaven
My God, I Love Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, I love thee, not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because, if I love not,
I must forever die.
2. Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear
and manifold disgrace.
3. Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell.
4. Not with the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward,
but as thyself hast loved me,
O everlasting Lord.
5. So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
because thou art my loving God
and my eternal King.

O for a heart to praise my God
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 1,162 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free!
A heart that always feels thy Blood
So freely shed for me;
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak;
Where Jesus reigns alone; A-men.
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within;
4 A heart in every thought renewed
And full of love divine;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new, best name of love.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Life in Christ Aspiration Used With Tune: WINCHESTER
